I think one of the things that we dont talk about enough with TERFs is their islamaphobia.

Whenever I start I make 25 posts in a row but Yes and you should say it.

Most of what they dislike about Islam is either strictly wahhabi or conservative salafi practices that are more politically motivated by nationalism than anything Islamic (e.g. no women driving or banking, mandatory head coverings) or tribal cultural practices which are haraam by Islamic rules (e.g. honour killings, forced marriages, no divorce)

But that doesn’t stop them using these ideas and events to claim things like “there’s no place for Islam in a world with universal women’s rights”

You know, I’ve just always glanced at your profile pic and said “Oh, cool, plants and shit.” And never really looked at it. I just looked at it and now I realize that is a fucking furby. Goddamnit.

Hedwyn Pyre for the ask game?

It's been a while since I've played Pyre.

First impression: It was nice of him to be the only member of the original party to not immediately go "put them out of their misery" on the Reader.

Impression now: Still a perfectly nice dude!

Favorite moment: If I'm remembering correctly, there is one conversation you can have with Hedwyn that you like his cooking, even though all he has to work with are disgusting Downside ingredients.

Idea for a story: I'm not much of a fanfic writer, but the best I can come up with is a ploddingly in-depth description of what Hedwyn has to go through to make edible meals in Fantasy Purgatory.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think the Pyre fandom is large enough to have much in the way of unpopular opinions (Does "I like Sir Gilman more" count?)

Favorite relationship: It was a nice surprise to find out that Jodariel is his adopted mom. Mother and son, playing fantasy basketball together to escape purgatory...

Favorite headcanon: During my first playthrough, one of my friends voiced Hedwyn with a heavy Russian accent. I can't unhear it and I don't want to unhear it; it's perfect.

I need help. I keep obsessing over terfs and I can't stop. I sent an ask about ovarit a while ago and you told me to take a break but I can't get myself to. I had this feeling when I checked out 4chan around election season and kept browsing through it and it went away on its own, but it's really interfering with my free time now. How can I evict them from my head?

If you have access to any kind of mental health help online or in person. I’d suggest you consult them, because what’ll work best will be individual for you.

However, essentially: you can’t control your involuntary thoughts or feelings, like obsessing over these things. You can only control the way you think and behave in response to those thoughts and feelings.

Some responses will reinforce the cycle. These include going on the sites that you obsess over, or sites on similar topics. Sitting and thinking about it for long periods of time also reinforces that cycle.

You want to prioritise actions which will break the cycle. If you do that, you can slowly decrease the frequency and intensity of your urges to obsess over it. Generally things that break the cycle are things that purposefully redirect your attention elsewhere.

Some concrete ways to do this from my experience:

Notice the times of day where you habitually do the obsessive thing. Do you go on the sites on your phone while you travel, or before bed? Plan something else to do at these times instead. Maybe if you always go online before bed, plan to read a book instead. If you do it while travelling, pick a podcast to try instead.

Make yourself a list of small simple distractions. Whenever you notice yourself obsessing over stuff, pick one at random and do it. The distraction should be low effort but something you like - some ideas might be things like “do 10 minutes of stretching”, “sketch the first animal that comes to mind”.

Practice radical acceptance. This is hard to explain without a therapist, but the idea is to learn to accept that you feel your feelings, without them controlling your behaviour. You should be able to say to yourself, “I feel like I need to know what this hate group is up to, but I also know that it’s just a feeling. It’s ok to feel this way but that doesn’t mean I should go do it.”

The important thing to keep in mind is that thoughts and feelings aren’t wrong or bad. The behaviour or intensity of the feelings might be unhelpful, but the feeling is only there to be helpful.

If you and I have anything in common, I suspect that your “obsession” is protective. You can’t be unexpectedly harmed by hateful people if you keep up to date on what they are saying and doing. As far as your feelings are concerned this is as vital as keeping an eye on nearby hostile tribes in the caveman era.

But cavemen never had the ability to 24/7 read hateful diatribe by the other tribe. And that is why in the modern times this protective instinct is harmful. But it is there for a purpose and you’re not weak or abnormal for this feeling.
