Don't get me wrong, I completely understand why some lesbians are offended by the word "dyke", and I'm not lesbian myself so I can't really speak for the whole "reclaiming of slurs" for this particular one, but I was raised by a man who used the word to refer to the tool most people now call by its proper name diagonal cutters. Long before I even knew it was possible for girls to like other girls in that way. I still refer to the tool as "Dykes" in my head, it's that ingrained in me.
Knowing this, I'm sure you can understand my confusion when I see homophobic posts online that are using the slang term, because my initial reaction is always "What do you have againsts dykes? They're useful!"
Even so, I still try to not say the word out loud around people who I know will take offense, even if I'm referring to a physical object and not a lesbian.

it’s interesting how the Feds air their dirty laundry with qtubs out in public but punish the other islanders behind closed doors (Phil trapped in the birdhouse on his own, Forever given pills off-screen, etc.)

I fucking hate when people refuse to distinctify between aro and ace. Yes there are similarities but THEYRE NOT THE SAME THING!!! STOP SAYING ACE WHEN YOU MEAN ARO.

I wish more people would acknowledge that misogyny and misandry can and do coexist.

Im trying really hard not to be a cunt abt it (and kinda failing so I might be off tumblr the rest of the day) cause Im sure the anons and those boundary accounts are well meaning individuals who Think theyre fostering a respectful community, but in reality it leads to a culture of shame and harassment and tries to make fan spaces front and center for the creators, rather than the fans. I think putting creators on the spot and forcing them to answer “boundary” questions through donos they feel obligated to respond to is particularly rude and uncomfortable, especially when its something that doesnt even enter their peripheries, that now theyre suddenly aware of. tag your stuff, block tags you dont wanna see, let others do what makes them happy. soft tagged kissy art on tumblr dot com isnt gonna ruin this 29 year old mans life even if he finds it “a bit weird”
