trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

太宰について

もちろん福音書にHONDA N BOXは出てこないし、太宰も出てこない。彼はなぜ、戦後「人間の失格」という事案を描かなくてはならなかったのか。いわば彼は西洋人と同じポテンシャルであるにもかかわらず、なぜパッケージとしての聖書にアウラを求め(インテリアとしての聖書)、キャラクターにかけがえのなさや有-使命性を付与したのか。彼にとっての聖書はまるで、小さなビデオレンタル屋が生んだ都市伝説のようだ。いわば彼の聖書との向き合い方は「芸能人的」なのだ。代表なくして、課税なし。イエスはキリストにあらず。あらゆる読者に殺害予告を。これは脅迫である。今の今まで本土の人々は五島列島に何を見てきたのか。見えるものと、見えないもの……。群島へ。“ここから”群島へ。私の愛は、隔たりの探検、長い行程である。「秘教……」。必要な、必要としての残酷演劇……。作者の意図を答えなさい。 それから最後に、社会主義リアリズム批評にも関わるが、太宰の業績は諸々の形而下の条件に照らし合わせて検討することがもっとも重要である。

if you have a very vibes-based politic you are vulnerable to someone convincing you that the people who are being oppressed are actually the *oppressors* and supporting them was wrong and bigoted of you.

it's something you see a *lot* in discussions of transfeminism, where any discussion of transmisogyny gets twisted in whatever ways are available to a person, to make it seem like actually trans women are the *privileged* ones, the *real* oppressors. Talking about transmisogyny is lesbophobic or intersexist or transandrophobic/transmisandrist or racist or sexist or ableist, or whatever it needs to be for trans women to be bigots who we have to silence.

If you have a vibes-based politic, this is a great way of shutting down the conversation, because you don't have the tools to tell when someone is genuine or not, and denying any of it has a bad vibe, it feels like bigotry, it feels like denialism.

but you do have to learn, sometimes when someone says you have structural power over them, they're lying, or wrong.

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

why do people want a cookie for not harassing random jews living their lives. “the people i racially profiled were nice to me, peace is possible ✊” is a fucking INSANE take

actually I'm kind of curious about this because it was a huge debate among my peers in my community

Clarifications under the cut:

The poster is in a public space where it is typical for everyday people to post things. It is not someone's private property or possession. Think piece of paper taped to a telephone pole, not sign in a storefront or in someone's yard.

The poster is not protected by law; you are very unlikely to face legal consequences for vandalizing it. Caveat: some peers have argued that it risks being socially consequential because an organization or demographic that you are a part of may be judged as intolerant/oppressive/disruptive/otherwise unpleasant if people witness your actions, and thus advocated against vandalism for fear of damaging your public image.

The poster is not an expensive or personal piece of artwork; it is a mass produced print on letter paper.

You are vehemently opposed to the message displayed on the poster, but it is an opinion that people are free to have in your country.

The 4th option refers to things like intentionally putting your own poster over top of the bad poster or otherwise making the bad poster harder to view; some people argued that targeting the poster for removal is out of line, but posting your own messages is an innocent action that you are well within your right to do (in this context, posters regularly eclipse each other as new ones are posted over top of outdated ones due to limited space)

The poster is part of a campaign; it's not unique. There are many postings of it across the community.

This is all assuming that the offending poster is not old and would typically not be considered fair game for pruning for quite some time, and that it is being specifically targeted for removal because of its message (rather than petty vandalism or because it's obstructive or damaged). E.g., if a poster is advertising an event happening on April 20th, it's typical to prune it after that date but not before.

Of course the situation that prompted the real life debate did involve a specific offending message, but I'm not going to specify what it was for now because I think it'll skew the results as people will just end up voting based on whether they like or dislike that message, which isn't the point of this. For this poll we are assuming that it IS a message that you are very opposed to; you can substitute in your own opinion that you have strong feelings about.
