happy month, fellow slurs.
So when are we gonna talk about the east asian fetishism problem in white transfem spaces
fucking gutted to be asian and having to be within such close proximity to these spaces
still thinking about when someone on here made a post about "harmless facebook trans girl memes" and I was like "okay but some of these are sexualizing the school gym uniforms of japanese girls, specifically, here is an article talking about how this is a problem, maybe we should be considerate of this" and she blocked me over it immediately (I was being pretty conversational, so it was clear she just. Wasn't interested in having a conversation about this.)
it is wonderful to celebrate being LGBT, but, ultimately, being LGBT is value neutral. It is indicative of oppression, not content of character, and be wary of people who are trying to conflate those two things.
Hope this isn’t derailing but there’s a very similar phenomenon of white transmascs pulling this shit with south asian/west asian/north african aesthetics especially in the realm of video games (gerudo link being the most notorious example) and it’s fucking gross and exhausting. The discussion on gender-affirming orientalism in white trans spaces is long overdue.
I'm seeing an annoying amount of people in the notes going "don't blame this on white trans people specifically; this is a problem all white people have" – and while you're not necessarily wrong, that's not the point. The thing is, by not cracking down on this, you actively make spaces that are supposed to be safe for trans people into unsafe spaces for white people only. We are pointing to our absence in spaces that are supposed to be for us as well, and you responding with "well, this is a problem with white communities in general" does not solve the problem of us not being able to access the same safe spaces and resources that you can. Do better.
celebrities will really be like “i am non-binary” and people will just ignore it
gerard way will literally be like “i used to dress in women’s clothes at school and i really enjoyed it” “i don’t really identify with masculinity and i have considered myself to be a trans girl” “this self-insert character i created and portrayed in a series of music videos is a non-binary lesbian” and people will just be like “oh yeah gerard is a man, he’s male. definitely of a masculine gender”
janelle monae has come out as non-binary, publicly, in magazine interviews, TWICE now and ppl are like oh yeah! janelle is a woman. she’s female. 100% womyn
BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG WILL LITERALLY WRITE A SONG ABOUT HOW HES BEEN CROSSDRESSING FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE AND WEAR THONGS ON STAGE AND SOMEONE WROTE “BILLIE JOE IS ACTUALLY A CUTE YOUNG LESBIAN” ON HIS ASS ONE TIME AND PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE WOW THAT SURE IS A MALE DAD
Suzy Eddie Izzard will state time and again that she's genderfluid and half y'all will say she's a trans woman while the other half still insist she's a man.
Americans will measure in anything except the metric system
So apparently this is just this guy's thing
Average american unwilling to measure using metric system factoid actually a statistical error. Measurements Georg who refuses to use metric system on 10,000 posts a month is an outlier and should not have been counted.
I love love loooooooooove the little bit of extra fat under garak's chin. kiss landing pad
why so celibate
-the jerker
Why did this make me laugh
Because my friend you have a jovial soul
plot 150 words bed-sharing 200 words smut 800 words projecting my fears, insecurities, and anxieties onto a fictional character 9,356 words fluff 150 words someone who is good at fan fiction please help me budget my WIP, my family is dying
150 words of plot seems excessive.
thank you for the reasonable advice
soooo.
fuck discord.
Turn these off NOW. If you wait they can use whatever you've said or shared with your friends on there until whenever you turn it off, even after you turn it off.
Turn them off and tell Discord to get their head out of their arse and go fuck themselves.
That’s a cute foot fetish you got there, would you mind keeping it 25796323689432 feet away from me?
whoreoscopes
25796323689432 feet you say?
This post turns 11 next month and it continues to be one of the funniest on this damn site
Happy 11 years to one of the OG funniest viral posts on this site
A tragic case of a landlord killing two tenants over a dispute- say, let's check to see what landlords on landlord Facebook groups have to say:
hm! okay then!
yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature
No, I don't. Please, proceed.
if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it
That would be fucked up.
yknow what would be more fucked up
Football field full of viruses.
Abraham Lincoln teeth sculpture.
Really big vampire.
Inside-out Sweden.
if they added automatic charging mode but paywalled it
Yeah that's pretty fucked up.
I can't stop thinking about people on Star Trek & languages. The UT breaks & it turns out that nobody speaks the language people expected them to, or not exactly the way they were expected to. Ben switches it up between Louisiana French & American English. Kira speaks a dialect from West Dahkur. Everybody expected Jadzia to speak a Trill language but she speaks Federation Standard (& everybody feels silly now for assuming). Julian speaks British English but sometimes slips in some Sudanese Arabic for himself. Miles speaks Munster Irish. Ezri speaks Standard Trill but integrated some Sapporan vocabulary into her speech as a teen on purpose (her mother hated it). Quark speaks the Capital City dialect of Ferengi. Jake & Nog turn out to be practicing each other's languages (Louisiana French/American English & Capital City Ferengi) all the time & this is why their UTs have been "acting strange" lately.
#re: your tags... I think what b'elanna speaks depends on interlocutor#to interface w the other starfleet officers she speaks federation standards#with chakotay specifically she speaks spanish but they have different accents#what seven speaks is uh. an interesting question.#it would... sort of make sense if the borg had chosen her as a drone liason because of#her ability to speak federation standard with sufficient vocabulary#(she was assimilated very young but she lived with scientist parents who talked about research all the time)#there's a book i think that hints that she spoke norwegian with one of her grandparents when she was little#but I can't see it being the language she usually speaks around people#not to mention I doubt borg machine language plays well with the UT#(does the voice doubling of the borg happen because the UT gets a little whacky trying to translate??) (tags via @trillscienceofficer)
I love the idea of B'Elanna & Chakotay speaking Spanish together (& with different accents! Yes!) & next time I watch a Voyager episode that features a longer, more private conversation between them I'm definitely keeping in mind that the conversation is happening in Spanish & that's gonna add an interesting layer to the scene.
As for Seven, you're right, it would make sense if she spoke fluent Standard. Norwegian would be sort of a language of the home to her - & I wonder if she might have tried to read/watch media in Norwegian at some point during her time on Voyager, & what that might have meant for her?
(And the voice doubling of the borg being a result of the UT struggling to translate is a fascinating idea & I think I'm adopting that one as canon tbh - it makes so much sense & would explain a lot! Machine translated through another, barely compatible machine - & I wonder what that means for the scenes where other members of the Voyager crew become temporarily part of the collective. IIRC they hear the voices doubled too - does that mean the UT is involved at there too, & maybe functions as a translator connected to the nanoprobes? My Voyager knowledge is not good enough to make any better guesses but could this be a thing?)
Starts off super upsetting but the way this random dude handles this guy is hilarious.
if someone says the phrase “don’t think of pink elephants,” the hearer immediately imagines pink elephants. but when someone says “imagine dragons,” is the first thing you envision dragons? no. it’s that stupid band. they have reduced the number of imaginary dragons in the world, and it’s a damn shame
