[natsmagi]

we're all just here to have fun at the end of the day...... and not everyones fun is ur fun! and thats ok! but so long as theyre not hurting anyone ur better off just muting/blocking and moving on, theres no need to make things deeper than they really are

It's so weird and funny to me when antis will be like "coping with taboo fiction is fine, but don't you understand you can't post it because people might get off to this!?!?"

Like what a stranger masturbates to is any of my business at all.

im going to start mauling people if they keep trying to ask me about my discourse positions. "what do you think about [x]" ok well first off i don't think about it. at all. secondly the weather is nice today. thirdly i'm going to go play outside. have a good day

Hey, I don't want to come off as whiney or like you did some horrible evil bc you didn't, but can you tag imaged depicting self harm? I really like your account, and I would love to keep fallowing you, but yeah...

Hope you have a good night !

i appreciate that you're asking this so nicely. i also think that my tumblr might just not be for you—i understand wanting a tag for this, but i haven't felt comfortable tagging it, because i can neither adjudicate what "counts" as "self-harm" nor do i want to be applying the term as an external observer to instances where it may not be thought of in this way by the subject. i think that to a large extent the conceptual boundaries of "self-harm" are political and far more informed by notions of health and productivity than they are by concerns for agency and autonomy. it's something i have strong feelings and thoughts about as someone who likes my own scars. i certainly cannot tag them offline. hope you have a nice night as well 🐐

Domesticated Post-Tekken 2 Era Kazuya is my favorite to think about because this would be so good for him and everyone else but he would have an absolutely miserable time during it

When talking about abuse, please be critical of the idea that abusers abuse because of fate, Scary Mental Disorders, their victims being bad/uncooperative, or because they "can't help it."

What may sound like an explanation for abuse to you honestly just sounds like justification and qualifications for abuse.

maybe i'm just biased because of my specific analytical read, but every time i hear something to the tune of "xyz thing knives did to vash wasn't actually quite as bad as you think it is" my hackles go up. Maybe I'm Just Biased. but i think if you cannot emotionally confront the way that knives' entire character is based around ignoring the consent or wishes of. everyone, but especially his siblings, in a myriad of extremely loaded ways, you should probably have a think about how your knives apologism starts to sound.

people really have some audacity making posts about "people are allowed to think your kink is weird, that's not some kind of big societal injustice against you 🙄" in response to trans women pushing back against the recent wave (and long history) of kink-discourse-related transmisogynistic harassment campaigns that have run people off the site and often resulted in weeks of nonstop (sexual!) harassment for the accused in question. that is, in fact, a big societal injustice against the people it happens to!! you might not be able to process this concept, but trans women this has happened to speaking out against it are not in fact just whiny entitled dangerous sex perverts who want to feel oppressed!! and the actions under question are so far beyond simply "thinking it's weird" that to describe it that way is profoundly disingenuous. if you're still going on about your god-given right, nay, your duty, to do kink discourse even in the current context, reexamine your priorities

Honestly the idea of slugcats existing in a sort of space where they are capable of 'moral' thought but not having a full structural concept of it in like, slugcat culture is kinda an interesting thought. Like they have sympathy as a personality value that governs a willingness to do harm, particular in terms of slugpups being unwilling to eat live food like centipedes if it has high enough values, if i recall right.

Which does seem to at least a basis for slugcats having an internal capacity (or lack of) for violence, and at least some understanding of what the 'weight' of choosing to harm something is- enough to potentially have a discomfort with it just by their personal nature. The idea of experiencing guilt for a natural, accepted and expected behavior without otherwise having a full understanding of what guilt is even is interesting.

someone on nextdoor told me that chronically ill people are all sick because they don't drink enough water or eat the right foods so i hit her with the "i'm so sorry you're suffering so much that you feel the need to say such ignorant things :( i hope you get well soon 💕" uno reverse card. oh yeah honey i did call you unwell and broken. i DID insinuate that your worth is intrinsically tied to your health and that your health is also bad. get PATRONIZEEEED motherfucker

[dottyistired]

thinking idly about the twisting of consent language re: DNIs. seen so many posts like "ewwww my moot turned out to be a secret proshipper!! yeah they kept it private but they DISRESPECTED MY BOUNDARIES!! i feel so VIOLATED!!"

and realizing it reminds me of being bullied as if i had cooties as a kid. "ew don't touch that, dotty touched that!! don't talk to her!!!"

i wonder how many bullies in schools are using boundary-talk now to justify isolating and excluding people. "omg that freak tried to talk to me. i found out she liked (x thing). soooo traumatizing"

all positive or neutral interactions you had with the person are somehow discolored by the knowledge of the fiction that person consumes or is fine with other people consuming, which they never brought up with you. that's not boundaries. unless that person is being a bigot or a predator, what they do for leisure in private has nothing to do with you, and sure as hell isn't trauma.

i'm not going to make distasteful comparisons to any kind of systematic oppression here, it's definitely nowhere near equivalent. but it makes you a bully and an unpleasant person imo. yes, even if you don't harass people! mass exclusion and social isolation when the person is doing no tangible harm is a form of bullying, more common than straight up insults and violence, which is why so many anti-bullying mesaures in schools fail imo because it's near-impossible to prove and discipline a negative action.

being a jerk is fine with many people, i've found, as long as it isn't outright bigotry. but dressing up your fragile virtue signaling that you're not one of the Bad Gross People as a self-defensive measure will make me roll my eyes everytime. anyone who's been labeled as The Weird Kid knows what you're doing.

ouguhhh just read the summary and article from this post about alexandre baril's work on suicidism (oppression of the suicidal) and the opening paragraph of the conclusion in the full article. thoughts. rotating

i was thinking about the. thick white gloves. while reading. remembered that one post about how csa being horrifically taboo to talk about compounds survivors' trauma and shame and went Maybe something similar re: suicidality and suicide... the suffering multiplied by the silence, the risk of dismissal or instant change in perception in anyone you tell... and even in 'mental health' spaces the perception that suicide as a topic is dangerous to talk about- that it could be triggering instantly and automatically- is like. i think there's some paternalism there and there's some shamefear and there's some oversimplification and there's the fact that it plays well into the existing well-taught impulse to avoid the discomforting. but like. this post also about how getting through suicidality is maybe only possible by considering the option thoroughly. i am just thinking. idk. yall know me yall know i think about this topic a lot
