half of sex discourse wouldn’t exist if people simply acknowledged that some folks are perverts in ways that don’t hurt anyone, and that shouldn’t bother you.

It's time to bring back sex-positive, free expressionist, pro-art socialism and stop siding with censorious puritans or people who unironically call things they don't like "degenerate" out of gut reflex.

I realize Former Gifted Kid posting is tiresome, but I do sometimes have a difficult time squaring who I was at 18 (national merit scholar, full academic scholarship, 5th in my class) with who I ended up being

Do not do this. I cannot stress to you enough that you *must not do this.* They are gonna say the apps aren't covered by HIPAA, they are doing to use your very personal information against you, and they JUST declared their intention to bring back asylums for "disruptive" ppl.

You know what? I don't like that we need a label because to me, it's just being "normal". Not harassing people over fiction is normal. Not harassing people over shipping is normal. Antishippers make fandoms toxic and are insufferable to deal with 💀

We’ve lost the concept of a ‘squick’ - something that disgusts you personally without it being a sign of your moral superiority. Almost everyone has *something* that squicks them in fictional content—& they deserve to have the tools to avoid that thing as much as possible.

My mom believed that sweat pants/athletic shorts should only be worn at home or whole exeecising. And jeans were only for casual wear—going grocery shopping, your pharmacy, the park, etc. I then grew up and entered society. And I adjusted my opinion! People need to evolve damn

"dont like dont read" actually predates ao3 and tagging culture and means that if you're reading something and see something you dislike you click off instead of yelling at the author

"But fiction made me do [evil]" skill issue "But fiction convinced me of-" skill issue "But fiction made me believe-" skill issue Your inability to fact-check is no one else's fault; it is no one but yours. Fix it, loser

More people really need to study how pro-shame, anti-porn ideas rooted in ideological Evangelical western conservatism have not only been adopted by young "progressive" teens & adults but actively rewritten to imply they represent anti-fascist & anti-colonialist ideals.🧵

A lot of “queer” people are actually not culturally queer People think “culturally queer” is mimicking western queer cultures, but it is simply the idea of having enough spine to reject heterosexism, oppression, repression “Queers” like you make our lives harder by living. Stop

All anti-covid/ clean air advocates are trying to get govts to do is install tech like this (and more!) in your child’s classrooms so they don’t come home w flu, RSV. HFM, Covid etc each week and instead of getting excited yall get inexplicably mad at disabled ppl lol.

DiscussingFilm important reminder that discord promised its users that face scans and id images were processed locally on the device and were deleted immediately after verification. they then got hacked and 70,000 people, including children had their face, names, emails, and payment info leaked

these puritans and normies who joined fandoms during the pandemic is legit moving like a facist dictator since the FUCK are we banning and attacking art/fics if they dont align with our preference now?literally who tf are these people GET OUT of fandom spaces!!!

“Only eat food with ingredients you can pronounce!” Ok well what if I’m really good at pronouncing words? What if I’m just a better reader than you? Is it healthier for me?

You’ll go through life thinking you’re just average, not really THAT intelligent, and then you encounter a bunch of people who think writers morally agree with everything their characters do. That depicting something automatically means approving of it.

trans people who go by it/its can I ride on you cause you're transit
