Wrt one of your recent posts on 3H's victim blaming, what did you mean by the crossed out “SS's worst support” part?

Bcs I wanted to talk about nopes and SS's worst support is... The worst.

I mean

How is this not victim blaming at its finest ?

Because of the war, in SS, Rhea lost her home, was pounced on by Baldo'n'Waldi, zumba'd for 5 years in Enbarr which left her in a precarious state needing to nabatean sleep for more than 1 month just to be able to walk around, ate nukes and then had a breakdown because of the aforementioned zumba, nukes and the realisation her mother never gave a fuck about her.

And when she wonders if she's the reason why the war started, this crap of a support goes "... Anyways we're glad you're with us".

No "the Agarthans manipulated Supreme Leader to start this war against the world" or "Supreme Leader wanted to conquer the world she used you as a scapegoat", no, nothing like this.

But I could rant about this support for hours and I didn't want to disgress that much lol

#anon #replies #This entire support is crap #Of course Sothis talks to her daughter off screen #Coupled with alone b4u since Zanado #Gfdi Zanado #Like the saints just poofed from the game #Ditto for Citrus #Willy'n'pals #No avatar wank at its finest #This support sucks the player's oranges while drinking earl grey #The worst of both worlds

Paraphilia Education Time!

Just seen a blog spreading just a tiny bit of misinformation and I’m going to correct it.

When paraphiles say that they are proud of their attraction(s) most of what the community is talking about being proud of themselves for surviving in a world that hates us.

Paraphilias are sexualities (or sexual orientation) and not illnesses because if there’s no distress, guilty feelings towards it, shameful of it or anxious about it then it’s not an illness. Proof? The DSM-5 on page 697 (there’s more proof but that’s the biggest one to this point)

The term MAP was actually coined by B4U-ACT since there’s 4 different minor attractions.

Paraphilia therapists will advise that paraphiles find a community that spreads positivity and is anti contact and non offending.

Professionals say that it’s important for paraphiles to feel neutral about their attraction(s) because feeling negative about it will actually put them more at risk to offend so feeling neutral is the best thing for us.

I am one of those 'kids who can't consent'. I can consent. But because of radfems allying with the conservative right, you are forcing me through irreparable changes. Every day I wake up and my body is more and more disgusting. But, because of you, I keep getting gaslit by GPs that I'm not trans, that I will learn to love my body, when the reality is it's wrong. Radfems do want to kill trans people, and they want kids to stay sexually available to them. I've lost count of the amount of lesbians telling me that I shouldn't "mutilate" my body because they lose out on another butch. You're disgusting and why I may be attracted to girls but will never date them.

Killing trans people is your end goal and that's why people think you're evil. 56% increase in hate crimes in the UK, thanks for that.

No, actually, you can't consent and if you don't understand the dangerous precedent this sets (for full grown adults with agendas to tell you can consent,) I'll explain it to you.

Within the trans community there's an idea that the sooner you can get a kid to transition, socially or medically, the sooner this can be seen as normal. The normalization of transitioning children is important, it pushes the idea that they could be born in the wrong body and normalizes the idea that a child knows what is medically best for them.

Child predators will try to find a way to have access to children by any means, now imagine how much easier it would be for them to have access to vulnerable children if they just claim to understand and support their gender identity issues.

The idea that children can consent would mean parents have no right over their children when it comes to their health and protections. I'm not saying children shouldn't speak up for themselves but we need to acknowledge that many children can be coached or groomed into saying or thinking things that may not benefit them or their safety.

The people that would love it for the law to 'recognize' that kids can consent doesn't stop at transgender rights advocates. It extends to pedophiles/child molesters that would love to get off the sex registry(something Jacob Breslow thinks it shouldn't exist to begin with) & pedophiles in position of power; informing and creating guidelines regarding childrens health & gender identity issues/transgenderism.

Pedophile sympathizer Jacob Breslow advocates for the rights of pedophiles, he thinks people are too mean to them. He thinks minors can consent too.

In his book Ambivalent Childhoods, Chapter 3 Desiring the Child: Queerness, Motherhood, and the Analyst, he writes:

[a description of a 12-year-old child dancing and mimicking sex acts to a crowd of adults.]

“As his movements transition from those that mimic break-dancers to those that mimic sex acts, repeating the easily citational gesticulations of pelvic thrusts … I find myself caught up in exhilarating waves of memory, identification, and desire … a desire for him himself,”

Why am I talking about Jacob Breslow? You should know him right? He was a Mermaids charity trustee until all of this came out, the pedophile sympathizing and all that.

Breslow also cited as an inspiration for his own writing Judith Levine’s 2002 book Harmful To Minors: The Perils Of Protecting Children From Sex in which she wrote that “sex is not in itself harmful to minors” and argued for the lowering of the age of consent to twelve.

He also was a guest speaker for a Pro-Pedophile B4U-ACT conference, an organization set up by a convicted child molester to destigmatize pedophiles and rebrand then as MAPs or Minor attracted person.

He's just one person tho, right? Not like there are more pedophile sympathizers in position of power when it comes to the transgender movement-

Anyways, all that to say;

Kids cannot consent because they don't have the cognitive or emotional maturity to understand long-term ramifications of such things.

>forcing irreparable changes

Going through puberty is normal. You've been convinced it's not but i promise you, you can still transition as soon as you turn 18 or whatever if that's what you want and you'll be fine.

Radfems don't align themselves with the conservative right but i can understand how you'd come to think that's what's happening when certain radfems talk on conservative platforms. I think there's a lack of understanding that they have no where else to speak on, especially when leftist first action is to label them as terfs and often don't give them the opportunity to have a conversation lest they be cancelled for even giving them the time of day.

Your body isn't disgusting. I'm sorry you feel that way and I'm sorry there are certain people that have convinced you to hate your body. I won't tell you you can learn to love yourself, it's taken me decades to learn to love myself and stop hating myself so much for things that happened to me that were out of my control and made me resent being a woman. Learning about radical feminism has definitely helped. I hope you can find something that will help you you as well that won't cause irreversible damage.

Radfems don't want to kill transpeople, I've already explained this in a different ask. Radfems don't want kids to be sexually available to them either, that's disgusting.

Hey, it sounds like you're dealing with a lot, including internalized homophobia, maybe some trauma. I truly hope you get an actual therapist that can listen and validate your concerns. My end goal isn't to kill transpeople tho I'd definitely would like to know where you're getting that from.

Devil-Zukin enjoying some B4U

#cosplay #dance dance revolution #ddr #early 2000s

[tsukuyomiland]

So inspired by the previous post I decided to make a list of my favorite songs from Bemanis.

The Bemani (a contraction of the word Beatmania which was used to name a series of videogames based in music and needed a series of special controllers but could also be played with normal pads) used to be one of my favorite genres in videogames, which today doesn't exist in domestic systems but still can be found in arcade. But from 1999 to 2008 or so there was a big boom of this genre, and almost everybody had a kind of dancemat or similar at home. I loved the Bemani, musical videogames have been always in my favorites, and I also loved the different controllers you needed to play them. I had a dance mat for Dance Dance Revolution and the Beatmania controller.

But for some reason, after Activision released Guitar Hero and Rock Band and similar things, this kind of games phagocytized the Bemani genre and it dissapeared from domestic consoles.

The difference between both? Songs.

While Guitar Hero and such had the attraction of featuring famous songs from famous groups, the Bemani games (led by Konami) used original songs composed specifically for these games. But these songs were AMAZING. And every new iteration of these games was pretty exciting because you wanted to know which new songs, composers and remixes from previous ones you would see there. Today I still look at the new releases. The Bemani song was a music genre itself, and I still listen at those while drawing or doing chores as these were made to be specially entertaining and rhythmic, as you were supposed to have fun playing them.

So, here is a list of some of the songs I love from this genre of which I still mourn its dissapearance:

- B4U

- Hysteria

- Absolute

- Snow Storm

- Dynamite Rave

- End of the Century

- Todestrieb

- Entelechia

- V (conclusion)

-Diavolo

Imagine being a radfem and having a male pedo as your namesake, oh wait you dont have too lmaoo

he literally isnt though... but hey, remember when dr jacob breslow from mermaids resigned after it came to light he spoke at a meeting for b4u-act, a pro pedophile group? or maybe when keffals was sending collars to minors on his catboy ranch discord and when he was flirting with minors on twitter? oh and there was also that one time sophie labelle who draws those assignedmale comics traced a photo of someones actual toddler in order to make furry diaper fetish art.

and dont forget jeffery marsh made a patreon specifically to talk to kids about gender and sexuality without their parents or anyone else knowing, encouraged these children to go no contact with their families saying he would be their family and when another woman on tiktok, nessa, pointed out how that behavior is a red flag for grooming she got doxxed, her car vandalized, and received many threats towards herself and her children.

Seeing how badly sothis/byleth get treated by intsys makes me feel really badly for them and their fans. I thought self inserts were meant to fawn over the player but instead I see the company retcon them, replace, and low but high key shitting on them. I don’t think I would ever see this with characters like Link or Persona or the little pokemon kids so I’m not sure what intsys is trying to tell us about sothis/byleth if this what we see done to them, “they’re just a mindless beast”

As I realised thanks to talking and exchanging with people around and after years of discourse...

Fodlan suffers from "self-insert worship" but in a batman 5D chess gambit, from doylist wise, "player worship". Earl Grey must sell, thus the character who always loves the player and was made, designed, as the player's love-interest (Billy's), Supreme Leader's worship takes the cake.

As already pointed out, Fodlan games try their damnest to erase or not give any figs about Flamey, the "War" is just a background buzz and units are on snow class, and if something is to blamed for the destruction and deaths caused by the war it's deflected on the mole people, "Church/Kingdom BaD because they don't offer their heads on a platter" or the world and its systum - and the worst offender, on "crusts", aka, blood from a genocided race that mingled with "humanity" and is used as the scapegoat for everything wrong in the world. The "alien blood" is to blame and the real responsible for why Miklan tried to seduce people who didn't want to be seduced, or why classicism exist.

I exaggerate a bit, Heroes tried to poke holes at this smokescreen and it ended up with Supreme Leader running away from Lissa (the most persuasive character in the franchise?) because, hey, in her verse, no one told her 1+1 = 2, or no one she couldn't introduce to Aymr I guess.

(of course we have the lol!supports from the besf, but any opposition is resolved with a teaspoon in the following supports, there's no disagreement nothing, it's always "and John realised off-screen Supreme Leader was right and he was wrong", ultimate kuddos to the Ferdie support though, the biggest joke - but again, FE16's supports kind of suck).

With that in mind, Billy was always intended to be the SS Lord, and to opposed Supreme Leader (that's the gravitas and main steak served when you order Fodlan : "u will feel bad bcs u turn against ur precious student sad uwus").

And yet, not to prevent the irl players from, idk, buying Supreme Leader merch or routes or being engaged, even if it's through foolish fan-faction wars, Billy takes a backseat as Nopes fully embrace the core of the Fodlan games : Hresvelg Tea.

Player must feel bad for siding against Supreme Leader - so Supreme Leader must somehow be right, and make people at least some of them surface-level wonder if the ends justify the means, right?

Billy, when they are their character and not a self insert UI, thus must bow down to this rule - everything must be thrown in a blender so Supreme Leader's steak will look appetising, even if you have to destroy the tastiest risotto ever done in the process.

Rhea cannot have spotlight else we will be in a Lissa situation again - so if she has any, it'll play in the red herring already debunked 10 chapters ago "Church BaD Rhea BaD maybe she should have ruled over the world instead of letting HuMaNiTy rule itself". In Nopes? Conveniently, Uncle pops up so Rhea's goal changes, and she will prefer to save the world instead of putting the person who wants her out of Fodlan by tomorrow morning because her ears are pointy to the sword.

Dimitri? "BaD" as long as he wants to kill Supreme Leader, but when he'll become the Saviour King, he'll try to spare her and regret having to kill her - fuck to Baldo, Waldi, and the "creatures masquerading as humans" I guess - in FE16 ; in Nopes, he'll also join the "Church BaD" gang, thus isn't "really" opposing Supreme Leader, right?

Clout became a thing.

And Billy? Well, Barney's existence is their nemesis, so to prop Barney they should shit on Billy, right?

But to shit on them to this point - throwing them with the other Nabateans in Nopes in the "dgaf" trashcan but also, confirming the worst theories from FE16 (Jerry's not the best dad ever) hurts. Billy was, this time, sacrificed to make place for the new self-insert, but also, imho, to showcase how the damn space lizards are evil (and not only because we're playing an agarthan game/route, but also because it checks a certain someone's agenda).

So while I think it's less something of "the devs hate Billy" it's more like "the devs want you to buy Hresvelg Tea".

#anon #replies #3 nopes #to be honest I wasn't fond of Billy in the early years of the discourse #that alone b4u nonsensical support really irked me #just like the recruitment mechanic #but when Billy's allowed to be a character and not a self insert who has to be able to #join tru piss because the player wants it they're kind of nice #imo the lack of nabatean content or even explanation is directly tied to the player pandering 4th wall thing #bar maybe some people with very opinated views about religion #if more light was shed on Nabateans how could anyone buy merch of the character saying they are the source of evil in the world? #WoH DLC was never going to happen :(

A trustee of the charity Mermaids has resigned after reports he spoke at a conference organised by a group that promotes support for paedophiles.

Dr Jacob Breslow quit the transgender children's charity after the Times revealed he had attended the B4U-ACT conference in 2011, as a PhD student.

B4U-ACT campaigns for the rights of people attracted to children and adolescents.

Mermaids says the organisation is "completely at odds" with its values.

B4U-ACT's website says it holds workshops and gives presentations about the needs and rights of people attracted to children and adolescents and runs support groups for both them and their friends and family members.

The abstract of a presentation Dr Breslow - now an associate professor of gender and sexuality, at the London School of Economics - is understood to have given uses the phrase "minor-attracted persons".

London School of Economics said: "We have been made aware of a presentation given at an external event in 2011 by a then graduate student, now faculty member of LSE. We are looking into these reports."

'Decisive action'

The transgender children's charity said: "Mermaids has been made aware of Dr Breslow's historical participation in a conference that is completely at odds with our values.

"Once notified we took swift and decisive action to investigate. Dr Breslow tendered his notice on the same day.

"We will be reviewing our processes and procedures in light of this event to make them even more robust.

"Safeguarding is of the utmost importance to Mermaids and the safety of the young people we support is our highest priority."

BBC News has approached Dr Breslow for comment but he was unavailable at the time of publishing.

Trustee of the transgender charity Mermaids quits after speech to paedophile aid group

Members of Mermaids UK, a transgender youth support charity, take part in the Pride in London parade WIKTOR SZYMANOWICZ/FUTURE PUBLISHING VIA GETTY IMAGES

A trustee of the transgender charity Mermaids resigned last night after it emerged that he had spoken at a conference hosted by an organisation that promotes services to paedophiles.

Dr Jacob Breslow was a graduate student in gender research at the London School of Economics when he gave a presentation at an event for the US-based B4U-ACT in 2011.

According to its website, B4U-ACT promotes services and resources “for self-identified individuals . . . who are sexually attracted to children and desire such assistance”.

Breslow’s presentation appeared to be a critique of how paedophiles were understood.

Records show that the academic, who is now assistant professor of gender and sexuality at LSE, became a trustee of Mermaids, a transgender youth support charity, in July this year.

After The Times approached Mermaids about Breslow’s talk, he tendered his resignation as a trustee. Mermaids said that it was unaware of his appearance at the conference until contacted by this newspaper. B4U-ACT calls itself a “unique collaborative effort between minor-attracted people and mental health professionals to promote communication and understanding between the two groups”.

Its “scientific symposium” was hosted in Baltimore, Maryland, in August 2011, to address concerns about the way paedophilia was addressed in the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a publication by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for the classification of mental disorders.

Breslow’s presentation was titled Sexual Alignment: Critiquing Sexual Orientation, The Pedophile, and the DSM V. A brief extract of the presentation, still available online, said: “This paper works through the DSM’s struggle to understand ‘the pedophile’ through an investigation of the highly questionable and deeply assumptive clinical, empirical and theoretical studies it cites.”

In parts, the presentation used the phrase “minor attracted persons”, a phrase used by some instead of paedophile.

Breslow was contacted for comment last night.

Last week Mermaids became the subject of a Charity Commission investigation following claims that it was handing out chest binders to children as young as 13 and 14.

The charity has, in the past, won the support of celebrities such as Emma Watson and Prince Harry, and been handed grants from the National Lottery and the government.

The charities watchdog is now investigating Mermaids’ safeguarding practices. The Times also revealed parents’ concerns last week after it emerged that children on Mermaids’ online forum were arranging to move conversations about experimental drug treatments and medical transition onto less closely supervised platforms.

Other:

** What was found to have been written by Breslow is very disturbing and somewhat graphic in detail. Please be careful for your own mental health.**
