Hey internet, help an old man out here
What do these mean?
(simplified if possible)
pro ship?
radqueer?
good faith identities?
paraphilias? (I kinda get these but ehhh...not sure) also something called "pro contact paraphilias"? Huh?
Ddlg?
Popytwt? (I think that's how it's called?)
Because I've seen these around the internet and have no idea what they mean but everyone is picking sides???
(if I think of anything else I'll update this)
Thank you in advance for responses!

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?
At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.
I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

Let's get straight to the point.
Some of my posts have been reblogged with demeaning tags. And yes, I can tell if it's playful bickering or plain nastiness just fine.
I like playful. I do not like angry and condescending.
Now, I wouldn't care if those were sent to me as a private message, but tags are read. by. other. people.
Do not dare to use my art to shame other people.
And if you think I am or anybody is oversensitive (I hate that term) - people look into entertainment for a reason. Life is hard. Everybody suffers one way or another. Many people are hanging by a thread. You never know what will make somebody snap. Life is not safe, so we go and try to find a little safe spot for ourselves with some nice people. When you get attacked there, it hurts.
I remember how it feels to be vulnerable and have the thing you enjoy soiled. I remember the exact moment I left one of my previous fandoms as a child and how ashamed it made me feel. It was like 10 years ago, but I remember what was said and who said it. Nobody was speaking up. There were friends, yes, but silent when something was happening, because they were afraid to be shamed as well.
Years later I have my voice now and I'm going to speak, be it through text or art. And if my work makes at least one single person smile and feel validated, then all the hours I have spent on it have been worth it. It's always worth it.
That's why I do not tolerate pointless cruel mean comments, no matter how small or mild. Get your negativity elsewhere and fix your issues so you don't keep spreading it.
And that is the only rant I am going to post on this blog.
Only more fluff from now on ♡

I saw one person online say that people who dress historically every day are "forcing their hobbies on everyone else"
but I have had countless people stop me on the street in winter and tell me that they love my homemade, 1890s-inspired coat
and I must try to remember things like that when I get mad about isolated Hot Takes on the Internet

I've gotten a couple of these lately, so as a reminder to everyone:
DO NOT SUBMIT HOT LADIES TO MY ASKS. do not tag me in hot lady propaganda. anything related to hot ladies get deleted unless you put it in this submission form.
I don't accept negative propaganda of any kind. If you hate that a certain hot man is winning, send me positive propaganda instead.
If I see another comment of "why isn't [guy] in the bracket?" I'm going to start blocking. It's exhausting and sad for me to keep seeing people complain about who's missing when this is submission-based.
Similarly, if I see any more thoughtless bitching about the poll photos, I'm blocking. I tried my best but sometimes what one person finds hot will do nothing for another person. I'm fine with critique of the pics, but you have to give me a couple photos to use instead. Otherwise I can't help.
read the FAQ (my pinned post).
