JK Rowling: lycanthropy is an infection and its a metaphor for AIDS, uncontrollable full-moon monsters on the outskirts of society, most of them are monsters even in human form, POVERTY
Monster High, intellectuals: these guys are werewolves. it’s simply a genetic trait and not a metaphor for anything else. if we’re gonna write a metaphor we’re gonna do it in a respectful way and this ain’t it. anyway they’re generally athletic, prefer meat, and tend to have fast-growing hair, but aside from these common traits they’re as varied in intelligence, circumstance, and appearance as any other humanoid species. they’re just regular people with regular interests, except sometimes they get distracted by chew toys.

it was sarcasm! there was a joke going around a few weeks ago bc if you went through the "nblm dni" tag you'd find a bunch of mlm blogs slapping that tag on....the weirdest posts. like. "i love clouds nblm dni" or sometimes "i like cats nblm / wlw dni". so people basically starting making fun of it both bc it was put on posts that had nothing to do with gender / attraction.

Oh okay!! Thanks for clarifying!!

Really disappointed to learn that the “good morning” list meme is character descriptions from books and TV, not just hyperspecific lists that people spitball into the internet when inspiration strikes them

Good morning to people who don't recognise the finer details of memes, to people let down by cultural phenomena being less imaginative than they first appear, to people who find humour in weirdly hyperspecific lists, and to people who make derivative bad jokes in reblogs.

People will say that they’re all about respecting sa survivors until it comes to victims of incest. Will expand later.

Overall I’ve found that people, most likely subconsciously, don’t think that incest can be traumatic. When I told my therapist that I was sexually abused she was so supportive. She told me that it wasn’t my fault. That what happened doesn’t define me. That I can always tell her about this stuff without fear of judgment or rejection. That whatever happened, my trauma is valid. Then I told her that it was from someone in my family, and her tone switched immediately. All of a sudden it couldn’t have actually been that bad. What I was describing most be an overexaggeration. “It’s normal for families to show their love in different ways,” she said. “There most have been a miscommunication.” She didn’t listen to me anymore. I told her the worst of what happened in graphic detail, but none of that mattered. We were related. There’s no way that actually happened. And this is far from an isolated incident. I got blocked by one of my favorite cosplayers, one that was vocal about protecting minors and respecting triggers, for saying that incest survivors getting triggered by the twins, even if they are supposed to be satire or an act, is s valid reason to not watch ohshc. Both online and irl, people who vocally opposed to joking about sexual abuse would make incest jokes and even joke about my experiences explicitly. There’s a widespread belief in our society that incest is funny or not a real issue. And most activists not only refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, but get upset when you try to educate them on it. This belief keeps getting spread, and it actively keeps us from being believed, from getting treatment, from getting justice. This belief keeps us silent and lets our abusers go free.

If you aren’t an incest survivor you are legally obligated to reblog this

This post is 120% trans inclusive and supportive. Love y’all.

I dont talk about this but one of the reasons i had to change my last therapist was because she told me to my face "its normal for good parents to be clingy" she had 3 small children of her own and called my abuse when it involved my father clingy but the same actions by another man was 100% life changing traumatic rape.
