#rhetorical correction

[eebie]

peple who say testosterone is linked to higher aggression and more antisocial traits n shit as evidence 4 men and women being fundamentallt different Don’t understand the effects of being raised as a male vs female (in the most stereotypical of senses). like confidence and aggression are encouraged ad enabled respectively in amab kids “boys will be boys”, etc. and early exposure to media that tells them what i means to “be a man” , be a fighter, don’t talk about your emotions, you are meant to the leader. And with afab people, you’re raised to be considerate. be soft. be agreeable, put others needs above your own, you are there to help. sit like a lady. eat like a lady. Toys marktted to you like baby dolls, play kitchens, etc. Being direct is being rude. if you try to lead, you are bossy. Even if it’s never explicitly stated, shit like that can be picked up, kids are intelligent, they are very perceptive, and like No wonder we can observe differences in our brains at a chemical level, this shit is literally altering our minds.our behaviors are so heavily informed by our experiences in youth. i hate this divide.

#no rb bc if im wrong idon’y wanna get flamed forever💀this is just how i see it #like that rhetoric is bullshit right. bein born with a dick vs a cooch doesn’t determine your behavior at a biological level #it’s such bullshit #ALSO PLZ CHECK NOTES i was corrected on smn and i made some other comments that are important So theres no misunderstanding #i cluldve worded what i said better

Well would you look at this. 😵‍💫 Because obviously if you dare say anything as wild and controversial as “lesbians don’t like men, please stop using a label that hurts us and tries to force men into our identity” you’re a raging terf radfem transmisogynist. Because obviously ONLY trans women use the bi lesbian label and it’s not like there are transfem lesbians who are rightfully against the label as well or anything and it’s not like terfs use the label to refer to cis lesbians who date trans women and why can’t you just let people identify as how they want of course lesbians like men stop the infighting already if you disagree with me that lesbians can like men then surely that’s because you’re an exclusionist gatekeeper who hates trans women.

#lesbian #anti-bi lesbian #trans women #lesbophobia #the raging hatred for lesbians on this site is getting to an all-time high tall will stop at NOTHING to gaslight us and make us out to be #hateful terf bitches for our sexuality #how many times are we going to do this same old song and dance #no i will not calm down i will be taken seriously #you CANNOT be a bi women as a lesbian idfc if you’re trans or cis #lesbians do not like men and bi women shouldn’t have to ‘oick a side’ by calling themselves lesbians #it’s absurd maddening and sad how little y’all respect us #and trans women always have a place in the lesbian community that doesn’t mean that ACTUAL MEN DO #shit #trying to frame this as ‘well you must be a terf if you are against bi lesbians’ is a shitty move and you’re not being original or clever #go fuck yourself #trans lesbians exist and are valid and the bi lesbian label hurts them just like it hurts cis lesbians if anything it hurts them more so #and i will block ANYONE who supports bi lesbians it doesn’t matter if they’re a trans woman a cis woman a trans man non-binary etc idfc #stop trying to frame this as exclusionary radfem rhetoric #bi lesbian as a term DOES support corrective rape idgas what lesbophobes like you want to say about it #that’s all goodbye #sorry but this got me mad you do not get to use transmisogyny as a clutch to spout blatant ass lesbophobia #i’m so tired of this shit #blocklist #op

One thing that was weird to me in an interview Rick made after the Medusa episode was when, in regards to the changes from the books and how Annabeth instantly figured out where they were, he says around the lines of "Oh she's a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, so why didn't figure this out sooner in the books" or something like that (correct me, politely, if I am wrong). And, to that, while I understand wanting things to be different from the books it's also important to note that isn't it implicitly stated that, in the books, both Percy and Annabeth were under some sort of magical spell that basically had them throwing out basic thinking out the window? And also weren't they literally starving after having little to nothing to eat for hours? And also, again, they were kids! They probably aren't going to figure things out right away no matter how smart, especially when hungry!

#pjo #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo tv show critc #like correct me if im wrong about the books bc it's been a minute #but grover was literally warning and struggling to get them away from auntie em's place so they had to be under some spell #and another thing that kind of irks me in the show is how they don't let annabeth be silly all that much #like i enjoy her in the show but i also want to see more of her being flustered and geeking out (thinking back to how she was on the arch) #like having her open up emotionally is great but i also want more happier moments without her being so serious #and if anyone can find that interview with rick pls share bc he didn't have to do annabeth like that #mind you that was the same rhetoric nico had in ttc and percy nearly fed him to wolves bc of it #so watch out rick #annabeth chase

just re-watched ratatouille with my mom and i never realized how obvious it is that this movie was made before the economic collapse

#lime rants #ratatouille #its beautiful but my GOD have the morals/lessons not aged well #‘bird has to leave the nest at some point’ NO U FUCKIN DONT LMAO #and even aside from that #remy’s dad is literally Correct #remy being like ‘we can chose to change’ my rat in christ if you are the victim then it is not YOU who has to fix the system #remy’s whole attitude is like ‘survival aint important i have to follow my DREAM’ like. bro #thats the rhetoric We grew up with and now We get called ‘entitled’ for thinking that way #and now we’re miserable bc we didn’t expect to have to Settle

Ethical or not to make pony designs based on Taylor Swift's album covers and then sell them so I can buy groceries?

#misc #this is mostly a rhetorical question #also... doesnt have to be pony designs. #they could be cats. or deer #i think the swifties have deignated Taylor's fursona as a cat #but she gives off big deer energy to me #my phone keeps trying to correct swift's to swiftest which isncertainly something #((i know it's unethical. ill probably at least make the designs and share them anyways))

really love alternating between girls to the front and listening to washed up emo episodes. to me it so clearly demonstrates a lot of the friction btw the nebulous diy posthardcore/pre-midwest emo conglomerate and riot grrl is often a matter of like. basic difference in musical ideology and subculture values lmao. like. this guy from art monk was talking about how some of his friends bands have been forgotten because a lot of the scene was v. humble and believed in letting the music speak for itself which imo fits with a lot of women in these bands who talk about wanting to be seen as "serious artists" not bc women arent "serious" but rather its emblematic of the type of band/music relationality they want to embody. like. the women in these scenes, to varying degrees, certainly interacted and invested in the same values as their peers- its weird to imagine just bc they are women that (1) they all should think the same and (2) they all felt inherently isolated from their communities??

#we can have a discussion about if these women were successful at being taken seriously and such for sure #but to me it has a lot more to do with diy ethics than like. antifeminist false post-genderism like marcus implies #and every subculture and scenes values are like. they have pros and cons obv but there is no CORRECT choice ultimately #its v frustrating that the limitations of the olympia anyone can play music! perspective is like never interrogated #(bc personally im sooo completely uninterested in that music rhetoric even if i can objectively see its value) #man i wonder how many shitty art school dudes felt emboldened by the k records bullshit.... #not to mention how much of that music imo has little longevity (again. fine! the ephemeral nature of creation is beautiful! not for me) #anyway i love washed up emo bc tom loovvess jimmy eat world but i can so tell he probably hates mcr. so funny. #hes the guy who compares third wave to glam metal. which i think is fun but is clearly meant as a sort of criticism of its commercial nature #but again. jimmy is his favorite band so like. i do have to chuckle. same way i feel sometimes about dan ozzi. what was the line. #my posts

Choke on glass, actually.

#lesbian #lesbophobia #it’s only us they do this to #because they can’t accept that we’re not into men #the bold-faced lesbophobia is so atrocious #and this was even before elon musk took over #the good news is that just about everyone in the comments disagrees lol #but they’re still being called terfs by people who think lesbians can be trans men #and that non-binary male-aligned identities can be lesbians too #and one person even said “remember guys if she says she’s a lesbian don’t give up there’s still hope!” get shot actually #do…do they KNOW that this rhetoric exists to put lesbians in danger and only increase our vulnerability to predatory men #who want to correctively rape us #of course they do they just don’t care #they don’t care about us #they never did

Every time you and Authority speak with each other there's an Energy... Chemistry, on might say. Ever considered just asking the guy out? (Empathy would probably be cool about it)

ENCYCLOPEDIA — 'Cool about it'? Well, they *have* said before they would support us no matter what we did, but I'd like to draw attention to the fact they've previously shown distress at the prospect of losing us to someone else. AUTHORITY — Sure, whatever, but are we just going to ignore the fact Suggestion exists too? That'd be fucked up to do that to him. COMPOSURE — You guys are boring. I could totally whip up something, anon, just give me some time to gather some inspo. VOLITION — I think maybe we should be taking into account the fact I just *don't* feel that way first and foremost?? No confessions are going to be happening. Not sorry. AUTHORITY — No, the *biggest* fucking issue is that you take fifty goddamn morale damage every time he even LOOKS at you. That's not fucking good to build a relationship on. Manage *that* first before you even consider a FRIENDSHIP, fuckwit. By the way, have you ever considered that in your shit-ass relationship with Empathy, you don't-- VOLITION — No. PERCEPTION — Okay. But, what if-- VOLITION — Nope. ENCYCLOPEDIA — That would be an interesting theoretical to ponder, though. If Au-- VOLITION — My verdict is final, dammit. ENCYCLOPEDIA — Okay.

COMPOSURE [Legendary: Failure] — O, Authority! How, the nonpareil! In time we hate that which we often fear – and fear the flutter of our pages when ye wert near, sir-reverence, we didst… Fie upon’t, foh! Our maltreatments leave a foul taste in our mouth.

VOLITION — What are you doing. AUTHORITY — Oh, for fuck's sake.

COMPOSURE — O me, I cry your worships mercy! Beseech you, sovereign, give’s pardon. What our contempts doth often hurl from us, we wish it ours again… the prevailing prejudices, by revolution lowering, does become the opposite of itself. Byrlady…

VOLITION — ...Hey, wait. Didn't we hear someone-- ENCYCLOPEDIA — What does 'byrlady' mean, Composure?

COMPOSURE — I knoweth not!!!! ⠀⠀Y’wrest’d us from the clammy grips of death with absolute celerity, my lord, and with this hast wrest from us our grip on our wanton feelings. Alack, we do regret our decadence, ‘tis dishonourable to hurt th’heart of sweet Empathy--

VOLITION — Keep Empathy's name out of your fucking mouth. ENCYCLOPEDIA — Also, would you do us the service of not referring to us as a collective, in this instance? I am not regretting any decadence right now for I have not participated in it.

COMPOSURE — --but mine aching heart balance the feather of austerity. ⠀⠀E’en so! The possibility we are doom’d to belove more than beloved oft agnize I, the arm of your companion’s body ye art. But my lungs ‘chill not contain this blaze no longer… thou art the greatest soldier of the world, the heart where mine thoughts did kindle. Made from fire and air, you and I, the other elements left to baser life, and your continued breath alone fans my flame. ⠀⠀Prithee, allow me to be the armourer of your steely heart. I ask no more. In fine, for the love of Love and her soft hours, let’s not confound the time with conference harsh. ⠀⠀Come, sir, come, I'll wrestle with you in my strength of love...

PERCEPTION — Where did that spotlight come from? No, wait, where did those paper roses come from...? COMPOSURE — Thank you, thank you! Oh, you've been such a beautiful audience! PERCEPTION — Wait, Poseur dON'T-- ⠀⠀Oof... COMPOSURE — fffffffffff AUTHORITY — Just because I share a name doesn't mean I'm gonna catch you when you swoon, dickhead! COMPOSURE — You're a *shit* acting partner! AUTHORITY — You're a *shit* skill!

VOLITION — ...Uh. So. What's with the EModS? COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] — Ooh, want an encore with even older Suresne, do we? Of course I will give that to you. Khm, khm... ⠀⠀Lufast ðū mē? Ðū mē scýedest mid frēondsċipe hæfdest, ic eomge-feall-en-- ENCYCLOPEDIA — Quit that. I can accept plagiarising from creative works, but academic texts are where I draw the line. COMPOSURE — Uh. Isn't plagiarising from academic texts all you do, though...?

She wanted to break the cycle

I told her I won’t have kids, "��Cause the chronic pain’s hereditary," laugh half mirth.

She cries, “I’m sorry, baby, I’m so sorry.” And it’s the 3rd cigarette she’s lit this phone call. Said she didn’t care about Christmas this year except what she sent to me, her mom, my sisters.

I look up from the calendar I’m marking, only 7 painful days away from 500.

Show my smile and say, “Mom, momma. It’s okay, it’s not like I wanna die. I’m a jack of all trades—I’ve got plenty left to live for."

i don't want to put my uninformed foot in my mouth or get involved with the Discourse but i've been seeing the two extremes of reactions to the korean low birth rates issue (on tumblr and twitter both) and i'm just kind of like. look. i feel like "low birth rates (in many countries but especially japan and korea as part of this conversation) are more broadly the result of capitalism/a culture of overwhelming overwork that makes social relationships and having families incredibly inaccessible to young people" and "low birth rates are very much a part of the current conversation about misogyny and social expectations for women in korea especially in the context of reproduction as 'unpaid labor' for women" are statements that can both be true

#laughs awkwardly #gender #especially considering the ways patriarchal expectations and capitalism very much intersect in terms of quality of life for women #ex. women being expected to have kids / raise kids / do all the housework and cooking in a relationship #while ALSO existing in a society where women (even married women) have to work demanding jobs to deal with the high cost of living #AND women are systemically discriminated against in terms of pay / job availability / work environment and harassment #all of these things add up. these conversations are not opposing points of view. you know? #and also like. not super comfortable with how TERFs are discussed in terms of non-white cultures #TERFism / radfems as a MOVEMENT (and a cult) is very much rooted in white supremacy / ideals of womanhood #again. multiple things can be true at the same time. yes i do see (from my perspective involved in taiwanese social media) #some east asian feminists engage in transphobia in ways that approach radfem rhetoric ('women are victims of men' 'men are predators' #type generalized sentiments which you can imagine gains a lot of traction among women traumatized by patriarchy) #but movement-wise i don't think it's fair (or just in good faith) to generalize radical feminists from non-white countries #to straight up TERFs. which again. rooted in white supremacy. keep feeling like i have to remind people it doesn't make sense #for asians to be white supremacists and that not all oppression on earth stems directly from white people. you weirdos #'what are you talking about' in east asia the type of feminist statements called 'radical' are stuff like. #women shouldn't have to wear make up every time they go outside. women shouldn't be expected to do all housework. #should men pay for women on dates. debates that i think in the states we kind of take for granted as stuff settled years ago #even if some feminists might be transphobic it's not necessarily Transphobia As Core Tenets Of The Movement. does anyone get the difference #basically what i'm saying is. wow these tags got long. maybe let's not apply uniform standards of 'correct language and values' #to non-white people and attack them when as all movements they are fluid and influenced by the people living in it #TERF-style transphobia is not the predestined course for them. maybe it's more productive to have open discussions about transphobia #to work towards inclusivity and solidarity in these movements than to prescribe White Internet Morality to them #and declare that they're evil when they are still very much having conversations that need to be had. thanks i think that's all #essentially. i find that 'how dare a non-american movement not have morally pristine vocabulary priorities and membership #as determined by white leftists' to be in itself kinda a racist attitude

[doom-dreaming]

if a conversation about the environment goes too far in my family it turns ecofashy and i just heard "thanos was right" so i need to go outside and play cornhole with my cousins

#i literally cannot insert myself to correct the overpopulation myth #because i will be talked over by people who need to have the last word #but like. cmon man #i don't wanna hear any of that 'humanity is a virus' bullshit #they're so nihilistic #yeah if you only look for bad news you're only gonna find bad news #good things are happening. theyre just quiet and don't make good headlines #anyway #it's a broken-record-preaching-to-the-choir-echo-chamber in here #like. their hearts are genuinely in the right place #but the rhetoric is. off #and i don't have the energy to deal with another five fucking days of it

hey remember when everybody on here reblogged that post that was like "lesbians and gay men used to fuck each other alllll the time before radfem exclusionists decided it wasn't cool >:(" only for it to be revealed that it was obviously made by a dude with a corrective rape fetish. 😐

#maybe it's because i went on a blocking spree but the fact that i never saw a single apology from ANYBODY that reblogged it uncritically. #probably because they all agreed with the *message* just not with who actually *wrote* it 🙃 #and yet the fact is you cannot separate the message from the author. because the idea of lesbians sleeping with men (& enjoying it) #is ALWAYS corrective rape rhetoric. so. yeah i hope you disgusting fucking lesbophobes don't know a single day of peace <3 #lesbophobia cw #corrective rape cw #send tweet

genuinely curious, why was there a community effort within the ml fandom to raise funds for Ukraine last year but not for Gaza this time round?

is it due to politics in the US or whatever donations we can give to Gaza will be bombed anyway?

First off, I don't like the tone you used because it sounds not only defeatist but also just plain rude. I'm gonna treat this ask like it was in good faith and answer honestly but next time maybe don't sound so passive aggressive

Idk why there isnt. I'm not in the ML fandom really anymore so i cant tell you. Last time my friends and I got involved and we did it together along with some others. Idk why no has done it but I can't say I'm surprised given the way some of the ml fans and blogs have come after me for my support for Palestine and the things I've said about Israel and Biden. Frankly, I'd rather distance myself from them completely. If someone does show their support and organize I will be glad for it but given how little I've seen even acknowledging whats happening in Gaza from this fandom, I'm not surprised they won't. Disappointed but not surprised.

If you're trying to say something about rude about me specifically, I did donate and shared a bunch for a fundraiser in my current fandom, but that was all before we learned that Israel won't let any aid into Gaza. It's not about "it's all going to get bombed anyway" which again is so fucking rude and cruel to say when there are multiple efforts to help Gazans directly. But Israel's siege means the millions of dollars in aid raised are useless because it's all sitting in trucks at the border as Israel slaughters everyone.

That's why Gazans are asking us to protest and continue talking about this and demanding ceasefire. Instead of waiting for someone with your blorbo to donate, follow Palestinians and advocacy groups that are trying to help so you know what they need.

This isn't something that's gonna happen easily because unlike Ukraine, which had the backing of the US and every other power, we are actively fighting against our governments. Gazans don't need your money. They need you to fight for them

#again im taking this in good faith but stop sending me asks about what the ml fandom is doing #theyre ignoring it cause it doesnt affect them is what theyre doing #theyre ignoring it cause theyre prioritizing themselves #other than a handful of people actually trying to spread awareness i havent seen anything besides a 'politically correct' post reblogged #or the worst was a BN being silent until they came into my inbox on anon to accuse me for my stance and then finally broke their silence #on the matter only to continue enabling genocidal rhetoric #so yeah consider me done with this fandom #asked and answered
