a weird amount of Fandom People but internet leftists in general seem to be completely unable to separate discomfort from harm

there’s like zero consideration for what the scale or context is or if the discomfort is based on anything objectively harmful it’s just one person saying “i’m uncomfortable” with whatever motivations they might have and suddenly it’s causing grave harm to an entire group of marginalized people and anyone who doesn’t agree is a bad malicious person

this is how we get people banning depictions of pre op/non op trans people from trans zines bc one person is Uncomfortable with it and then it gets phrased as like. we are banning anything but the most perfect of cis passing trans people as a way of Combating harmful trans fetishizing and we are eternally grateful to this one guy who was uncomfortable with anything else. this is a real example btw

People should be uncomfortable occasionally. It’s good for you.

one time another trans guy accused me of trans fetishization because i drew a trans man who, quote, “looks like a girl”, and it was making him dysphoric, when the character in question was a self-insert based on the way i look irl

"this makes me uncomfortable" and "this is bad" are two ENTIRELY SEPARATE STATEMENTS and it is honestly STUNNING how many people conflate the two.

Even if something is upsetting to you that doesn’t mean it is harming you.

Ok it's very funny to laugh at Tuxedo Mask for showing up and doing nothing, but his job was never to actually fight the monsters.

His job was just to show up and believe in Sailor Moon so overwhelmingly resolutely that she remembers she's a fucking demigod long enough for HER to fight the monsters.

Because she's the only one strong enough to do it in the first place, and in this regard Tuxedo Mask is the first example of being "Kenough" in this essay I will

Okay this is just getting funny now

in the bible in revelations i think or somewhere, it warns you that near the end times, false prophets will pop up claiming to be the messiah. do you ever think scholars from like 700 years ago studying the bible would have thought this would be one of them

Trump would be such a good drag queen like just such an unbelievably incredible and talented drag queen it's such a bummer that he's decided to be a fascist and a threat to democracy because that cunt would devour at the House of Yes

such a loss

“the problem with ron desanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant, and those are...... noT yet available.”

if he’d laid the garbage fire of his entire soul aside for a wig and heels back in the 80s, we’d live in a better world.

I remember a long time ago seeing a gif set of a Ted Bundy interview with James Dobson where Bundy blamed porn addiction for his crimes (and also blatantly lied about his own biography and family to do so) and it was very obviously a last-minute gambit by Bundy to avoid execution (he even said he would only give the interview to Dobson, almost as if he wanted someone that wouldn’t challenge the “porn corrupted me” stuff) and it was being passed around as actual evidence of the evils of porn viewing.

Imagine believing a dead serial killer who had a reputation for constantly lying and trying to manipulate everyone he interacted with. Especially on a matter where he was obviously trying to reduce his culpability

Everyone who reblogged this and said something like, "These are all so good!" Or, "I can't choose!" - you have extended my life by at least fifteen seconds. Each.

I also love it when people say what dynamic they chose, and which characters (fanfic or original) fit it.

So many people marry people they don’t like hanging out with.

When they say to marry your best friend they’re talking about that you need to like hanging out with them. You should probably like just hanging out with the person you’ve committed your life to. Because that’s what you’ll be doing most of the time.

In most romantic relationships the sex and longingly staring into each others eyes part is a relatively small portion of it. Most of your time is gonna be reading the newspaper in silence or cooking dinner or trying and failing to do a book club with your friends.
