details of my fav sketch this month🍒
Nicknames: when you shorten someone’s name affectionately
Nicholasnames: when you elongate someone’s name affectionately
I’ll represent you in court :)
This is just as relevant for tumblr as for twitter, so I share it here. Fully agree
You will never win because they do not want to change their minds. All they want is to have an argument- to make their position seem rational and normal
Correct fascist misinformation only when the fascists themselves aren't present or the target of the information. So they won't be automatically platformed for running their mouths in response.
Treating fascist ideas with any sort of dignity normalizes them as a rational opinion that normal people have. These are not normal ideas. Do not treat them as such.
Do not provide fascist arguments with detailed rebuttals with evidence and sources and explanations as to why they are wrong.
Do not let them put you in a position where you have to be the one on defense, rather, just call them what thry are: Nasty annoying douchebags that are being hateful.
Shut down their stupid hateful arguments by calling them fucking stupid and hateful and refusing to give them the time of day.
Let them make a fool of themselves by trying to prove their obviously bigoted bullshit talking points aren't bigoted bullshit.
The proper response to "immigrants are rapist criminals that need to be deported" is not to provide statistics about how productive immigrants are and how few crimes they commit. The proper response is "what the fuck is wrong with you, you racist fucking asshole".
i swear to god if one more stupid fandom ruins a beautiful text post i am calling the police
100%. It's not the fault of mean feminists that men fall down these pipelines, but if we want to counter it effectively, there's no point in throwing more fuel on the fire. These pipelines depend on the opposing forces playing their part as they do and warping the perspective around it to confirm their own biases. Woman rightfully angry about interpersonal mistreatment uses cruel language in her own defense = see they ARE mean bitches who hate you and don't care about you. It sucks to have to care about it but if we want to make progress, we have to pay attention to the consequences of our language because it doesn't exist in a vacuum and is being both anticipated and accounted for by these pipelines.
And that doesn't even mean putting up with bullshit behavior from misogynistic assholes, it just means changing tactics for responding or disengaging with their game entirely if its not comfortable. They're expecting a mean shouting match to confirm what they already believe. In my experience, people usually thrown off entirely when you respond to their provocations with kindness or another subversive response.
Name-calling or yelling back is just part of the self-hating game to them. We don't have to play the game.
“maybe men wouldn’t fall down the alt right pipeline so easily if feminists were nicer” yesss women famously got our rights by saying “pretty please? 🥺 with a cherry on top? 🥺🥺🥺” and the men were really nice and said “omg yes of course 🫰🏻”
ingredients to a successful tumblr post is transgenderism, cannibalism, body hair, blasphemy, romanticism of the mundane, & homoeroticism
