yall gotta learn the difference between "this character is an asshole" and "this character was supposed to be super cool but the author is an asshole" and "this character is a teenage girl who was mean once"
the people who go "we shouldn't be so open about nudity because it could trigger someone's dysphoria" are like two steps max removed from "fat people being fat in public could trigger someone with an ed". like peoples' bodies are not the problem here, trying to restrict someone else's body because of how you personally feel is indistinguishable from conservative praxis. i'm sorry if that sounds harsh but there is basically no interpretation of "we need to control the bodies of [demographic]" that does not fall down the slippery slope of fascism.

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 🫰🏻”
The "kids are on their damn phones all the time" conversation has changed in an extremely significant way and I'm not sure people realize it. When kids had flip phones, and even in the early days of smartphones, kids were using their phones to text each other. It was part of an active social life. Now they're using their phones more and more to consume content from influencers or other accounts. It's more passive and it's increasingly what people are doing instead of socializing with each other. This applies to adults too, I just keep thinking about high school students.

Hey remember VHS where you bought a box to plug into your tv and you could legally record whatever was playing and then own it for free forever
you can't be a disabled ally without also supporting homeless people and addicts like it's just not possible
remembering the time I called american psycho (a satirical film about toxic masculinity) a dark comedy and the overwhelming response was 'oh so u think men killing sex workers is funny? u think THAT'S funny?' like no I find a patrick batemen listening to 'i'm walking on sunshine', killing jared leto while wearing a clear raincoat and giving a dissertation on huey lewis n the news, using 'I need to return some video tapes' to get out of awkward situations, throwing a hissy fit about business cards, dropping a chainsaw down a flight of stairs, thinking an atm is telling him to feed it cats, and crying hysterically under a desk is funny. but thank u for ur wonderful insight
Fandom terms have to sound silly, like blorbo or squick, because fandom needs humbling. Not a lot. But just every so often you need a good grounding reminder that all of this is literally made up nonsense for fun.
If you take a fictional thing so seriously that silly words genuinely annoy you, you've gone too far and you need to dial it back.
what if she was called chappell bone and instead of a singer she was a necromancer who raised strong as fuck skeleton warriors
"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die
Spread the word.
A variety of dumb shit from twitter
Hate saying good job for the bare minimum but in the current political climate.

I may be too chronically online, but there has not been more likely allies in the past 30 years.
I'd say tech bro and trad wife are the most prominent conservative architypes for anyone under the age of 45.
all politics about ai aside if you use it to create fanwork you're just a fucking dweeb
Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:
Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are
Trauma - same reason as above
Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!
Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.
In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.
Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!
They should block chatgpt on uni WiFi the way they used to block coolmathgames
american pope leo xiv please excommunicate jd vance because it would be so fucking funny.
