theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
do not give me a love confession note man i will straight up roll that shit into a joint. i am not kidding. fuck your feelings for me i am smoking that shit
i feel like the whole anti Ai think is contingent on believing that most people are deep thinkers anyway.
Before chatgpt they were getting their opinions from youtubers and before YouTubers, it was the TV station and before the TV station it was the radio and before the radio it was the newspaper, if not the town crier, if not the church.
You will be stunned to find that plenty of people are just not interested in the specific mechanics of the [x subject] and are happy to just be told about it. That's not really new. They just might not've gone to uni in the past.
have you ever seen that post where someone called out how simone de beauvoir was trafficking young girls and a radfem reblogged it to write this long drawn out post on how simone was actually the real victim in the situation, with not a peep about the girls she helped victimize
And I still remeber that. I also remeber the backlash i got when I made the post :)
These women don't give a shit about the well being of girls.
Time and again I have seen them defend misogynist women and not hold hem accountable because of some stupid concept of solidarity that they don't even know about.
"supporting women's rights and wrongs" doesn't even sound funny at this point.
You are true anon. These radblrinas defend their dead idols over the well-being of women.. Mary dale was very homophobic and still her texts are passed around. Andrea dworkin's texts on lesbians opened my eyes on how lesbophobic she is. And no one batted an eye.
But what I seem to notice is that this solidarity doesn't seem to extend for lesbians, woc and marginalised women.
They hate gay males for misogyny but find their bfs misogyny cute.
They write posts "Avg white male is less misogynistic than avg man in middle east" "Afghan men hated women, so they established Taliban" while their western gov actively supplied funds for terrorist organisations and de stabalised the middle east.
Their sympathy extends only for women who uphold oppression.

I don't believe in the power of fashion and I don't believe in women expressing their sexuality, because it seems to me that whenever women have the choice to 'express themselves', they always choose whoredom, and the tragedy of the commons ensures that if one woman whores herself out in order to advance her own goals, it means the rest of us have to either become our own pimps as well, or simply resign ourselves to being second class citizens.
i don't understand it when radfems/leans reblog or post content of super femmed-up women, usually celebs, like ... this is all the stuff radfems are criticizing and against because it harms women, do you really still find it aesthetically pleasing?? am i the crazy one for being confused?? i don't want to just straight up accuse so many people of being hypocrites but i really do not get it
