This happens in every fandom but since im in one piece as a lawlu gremlin, *gets on a soapbox*

Im coming in to say that people can and should write Luffy and Law however the heck they want and its not up to anyone to dictate what goes into a fic

None of that "Write less fic that is xyz" in the tag

Or write more of "extremely niche thing that appeals to op", and what i have to say to that is "no, go away"

People write what they want, and what they like, so going in the tag or directly to an author and preaching whats more interesting to "you" is rude and inconsiderate to other people in the fandom

Luffy can be as sex positive, repressed or whatever you want, clueless or ace, or all of the above because sexuality doesnt have to neatly fit into a box, or it can! This is fanon

Law can be as nerdy virgin, just as repressed or fucking around daily for fun or any other million of reasons, as creators making fanfic, its up to us

Dont let anybody tell you what to do in some of these passive aggresive posts or what have you

Have fun and be urself in fandom!

Ps: I have blocked everyone that does this/makes these posts, so if you can see this its not about you, and if you think it is, maybe evaluate why?

You guys love bullying tsuki. She hasn’t done anything wrong, but you all love attacking her constantly and trashing her reputation for no reason. This fandom is disgusting.

So, let me get this straight.

The original poster made a post against stans denying the Bessatsu Magazine event ever took place. Stans, a group your "hasn't done anything wrong," person doesn't even belong to.

This "hasn't done anything wrong" person then accuses the poster of plagiarism. This makes them the aggressor in this case.

The original poster defends themselves against a very serious and very baseless accusation. I was mentioned in that post as the person who also found the name of the magazine by using Google.

The other person in that post has faced the same behavior from the aggressor.

And you want to claim your "hasn't done anything wrong" person is being harassed?

Perhaps you should look into why you're in my inbox defending the aggressor. Talk about disgusting.

Here is the original post accused of being plagiarized.

To be clear, a person defending themselves against an accusation is not harassing their accuser.

quora is theoretically a place to receive answers to questions, but the top responses seem to always be "why are you asking this, fuck you" or "i hate trans people - kill_all_trans1488 (this user is a top answerer of trans questions)"

Knowledge and Information

I'd always witness confusion amongst newbie or old members rejoining community alike, or folks that don't interact with the larger, or just different community having these sort of confusion. Whether it's about the availability of a concept, the legitimacy of one's aspect of identity, the misunderstanding with terms due to lack of introduction towards the community or general misinformation floating around, or even sillier stuff about demographic of the alterhuman community.

I always encourage people to interact with the larger community, and if having the capacity, to attempt to interact with the community of different platforms and spaces. Because I understand that it's not always possible. Hell, you couldn't make me go on tiktok even if you threaten my draconity (I knew that thing was bad before it got popular in the west, now it's a literal wild west of alterhuman community).

That's why central hub communities are important. At least in my opinion.

(CW: Below cut will be mention of discourse topics, and the writings get a bit more on the negativity side of things)

I will always recommend folks to try out Othercon, and subsequently try to join Otherconnect just so they have a place where they can find more people and places. But more importantly, so that they can be closer to knowledge and information that are shared to and with a larger community.

Keeping communication is important. I try to bring whatever information I can into the smaller servers I'm in, to be a bridge between places in a way, fulfilling my archetrope being the Bond Thread Weaver. It does get hard and overwhelming at times. In fact, I'm constantly at a level of slightly overwhelmed and distracted, it sort of amplify my chaotic tendencies. I wish I can keep up my own activity, wishing I have my hearttype's Multiple Shadow Clone technique, drinking in as much knowledge as I can, or know the best and fastest way to acquire the answer any inquiry that I can help answer.

It is not a one person job. It isn't a job. But we are a community so I and many others do what we can, directing people to more people whom they can talk to or exchange experience with. Sharing what knowledge we have gathered, helping preserve these knowledge.

Sometimes I do wish they can do it themselves. But the next moment, I realize that a lot of problem stem from outside misinformation. Our stuff, the alterhuman knowledge, is truly all over the place sometimes. We are still fighting the folks who treat kin as not a identity but silly roleplay aesthetic. We are still arguing against those that think therian is only the existing animal currently on earth (also, human are animals too, did these people know that?). We are still dealing with so much, ah, what's the word, "missing stair" cases. There is also stuff like the confined idea of what dragons are. The constant idea that everything is nonhuman or otherkin only. We even still deal with those that disagree with plural folks who don't "abide" by some guideline made by folks that observe it from outside perspective. I could go on and on and on.

Do people remember that spiritual, singular kintype/theriotype, everything has to be involuntary, used to be a thing? A default setting? Do people know? I like the Chinese version better of this idiom, but the sentiment is better translate this way, how the tables had turned.

It's hard to get everyone in the same place and talk. Even if we band together, we are still just a pocket of community. There will be those that refuse to, or simply couldn't interact with elsewhere than their one space. I had at times think of those that are less than nice while holing up in their own little club, with ideology that screams invalidating and hurtful towards others (like for example, treating fictionfolk as KFF) as "frogs at the bottom of the well", a Chinese idiom that refers to people who has narrow perspective and unaware of the limitation of their own experience.

I don't know how we can overcome this. Sometimes people need to sit back, and just check back, read around, do some research. There are others like us, there are more folks other than us. We are all unique, but it doesn't mean we live in isolation, certainly not amongst our fellow alterhuman community members.

Levi was better when he wasn’t a cripple. You want him to suffer and be pathetic like yourself. The new bad boy cover doesn’t show him in a wheelchair so stop projecting. He stopped being a cripple and that’s what’s best

Wow, what a way to be welcomed back. It’s like you’re actively stalking my blog, anon, given that I haven’t posted in the last two weeks—that’s some dedication right there, following someone you supposedly find “pathetic”.

(1) Levi is disabled at the end of the series, and acknowledging that fact does not mean someone “wants” him to “suffer”. He’s shown in a wheelchair three years post-The Battle of Heaven and Earth, so clearly, his disabilities are not temporary. He’s shown sitting down on the cover of Vol. 35/“Bad Boy”, so that is not in any way indicative of his need for a wheelchair.

(2) Being disabled does not make anyone pathetic. Levi is disabled at the end, and I am disabled—neither of us are pathetic.

Levi is the same person, regardless of whether he’s disabled or needs a wheelchair. The real pathetic one here is you, anon. It would be best if you ceased to stop engaging in this fandom, which clearly causes you immense distress. Anyway, you’ve been blocked and reported. Your hate is not welcome. Thanks for the laugh, though!

I'm not into sparklercare but hearing that the anti side of it is literally tearing itself apart rn is actually so funny what did you expect

[charred-angel-ribs]

Watching MaxGGs' reaction stream is making this so much easier. Loving the collective "Bro shut the fuck up" we're all doing at Dream lmao.

Also, GET HIS ASS TUBBO ‼️‼️ I'm sat here cheering him on so hard ‼️

"Hey [insert marginalized group] you're dumb for thinking you are actually marginalized and oppressed basically at all because of your specific identity, speaking as a [insert other, similarly marginalized, group]. Have you ever stopped and thought about that?"

Have YOU? Have you stopped and thought about that? Have you stopped about how you clearly have no real world problems because how can you possibly have real world problems and also have the energy to have stupid fake problems? Have you ever thought about how stupid infighting is and that it's a tactic of the oppressive class to keep us too busy to actually fight back? Have you thought about how you're attacking your own community because you wanna win the "has it the worst" award which doesn't actually exist? Have you ever thought that maybe you should shut up? Have you??????????????????????????????????????????

[three-maddys-in-a-trenchcoat]

unfortunately, having trauma about and constantly being afraid of when you're going to be betrayed by someone you thought was an ally is still a major part of the trans experience.

cis LGB people (particularly if they are the privileged race or ethnicity in their country) are dumb as fuck and will fall for any fucking propaganda because they cover their privileges with "i'm gay"

[ruanais]

why is tumblr soo toxic in discourses? like don’t attack the people that didn’t do anything. Like even if they’re mutals, don’t. Cause u prob dont even know anything. So if theres only one person in the wrong, keep it that way and don’t drag others.

:P

[scarletskiesinthepaths]

Hey thanks to you and your friends for defending the topic of Levi's exposure to sex trauma. I don't have the confidence to defend that myself but it made me feel better to see you and others shutting down that harmful discourse. I'm a trans man and having people like you argue that sex trauma doesn't make one less of a man was really meaningful to me

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and sweet message! I’m honored that we were able to defend the topic in a way that was meaningful to you. And yes, please don’t ever let anyone tell you that being a male victim of sex trauma makes anyone less of a man. Unfortunately, people are actively harming real-life victims when they dismiss Levi’s both actual and likely trauma, and that is the biggest injustice of all. I will always defend this topic precisely because it’s so important.

[psychotic-tbh]

I saw a notification replying to a post I may have reblogged(?) but I can’t find this reply in the notes/reblogs of any recent posts for one reason or another

Either way, I just want to put this out there: I don’t support the terms “high/low functioning” as I understand its implications of “aspie supremacy” as some call it, and the perpetuation of stigma relating to neurodivergence.

(Note: I say “neurodivergence” rather than simply saying “autism” because I have seen allistic folks or folks with other neurodivergences—autistic or not—describe their conditions/neurodivergence as “high functioning”)

“High/Medium/Low Support Needs” is an excellent alternative I’ve seen, and I much prefer supporting these terms rather than “low/high functioning” labels

Anyway, I understand that I haven’t said it before, so I’m saying it now /nm

[therian-otherkin-confessions]

The therian community could be the weird and bizarre safe haven for animals that it was meant to be if folks learned how to block people they don't like. The therian community needs to learn what a block button is.
