#terminally online

I think we're starting to dilute the meaning of "terminally online". Like, no, it's not terminally online to have eccentric opinions about a popular TV show – people like that existed before "online" was a thing. Unless we're talking at least an "it's homophobic for gay furries to have rat fursonas because they're depicting gay people as vermin", the onlineness falls well short of terminal.

1900s queer community: We are defined by our love and joy. We will celebrate and persevere and be happy. In the future, we will have the respect we deserve, but for now, we will smile as an act of defiance.
2020s queer community: if you aren't suffering 24/7 then you don't get to be a part of the Real Queers club

I'm done with your purity
I'm fucking done with all of you westerners fucks who take your freedom for granted. AO3 was banned in china because pissy fans reporting RPF TO THE GOVERNMENT UNDER FALSE REPORT OF PEDO OR WHATEVER thus making life a living hell for Chinese writers and fans. ALSO LET ME TELL YOU that fanfic and AO3 is a safe space for many oppressed LGBT people outside of the west
I can't fucking say that I'm trans and bi without having people beating the shit out of me, but I can fuckin' write that I'm gay as fuck in fanfic or writing gay shit about my fave with fanfic
Imagine some people defending state wide censorship over fanfic, because they don't like icky fanfic, that's a sign that either you are brainwashed or fucking privileged and taking your freedom for granted. You know why Asian and other non western USA-European are more chill with fanfic and fandom?
Why we are less prone to make some stupid callout over fanworks?
Because most of us doesn't have the same information and expression privilege like the west, we take any freedom that we can have
Tumblr media
That's in 2017... There's probably more than one million websites being censored rn. I cannot even buy pride pin here because NO ONE outside of internet selling it! The censorship always begin from "banning information to protect children and moral from nsfw" down to censoring Spongebob Squarepants
You don't like something? Just don't fucking read it, it wouldn't stop the author to write and when they do stop writing usually after they are harassed so bad to the point of mental break down or suicide. What the actual fuck...
Defending and supporting state wide censorship because you want to feel superior on the internet is beyond stupid and it showing your privilege... Also yah fuck you who defend china aggressive state wide censorship because adult x adult RPF icky or whatever, I like reading Tom Hiddleston x Reader, because I'm lonely and it's fun. Don't lie that you never thinking of marrying your favorite celebrities or dreaming about dating Gerard Way.
What the fuck you gonna do about it? Crucify my ass? So long you are not shoving it to the person's face, who give a fuck? It's not a justifiable ground to cheer for government mandated national wide censorship. A lot of westerners are so privileged and terminally online to the point their mind revolve around online discourse 24/7 I'm not saying discourse has no damn merits but you get what I said...
Some people particularly white westerners are so privileged they have the chance to goes back 180° and agreeing with conservative mindset they claim to hate so much... Also your kink critical bullshit and your bullshit crusading over dark stories? Yeah. Heavily influenced by TERF and conservatism. Newsflash...
I'm not a person who agree with all ship or stories, i don't claim any moral high ground. I was so scared of getting cancelled due to the hostile neo puritan fandom culture, but seeing people defending China great firewall and aggressive censorship finally broke something inside of me and I cannot stay quiet
I don't give a fuck about your fanfic discourse, If i don't like something i just wouldn't fucking engage with it and wouldn't read...
Tumblr media
I'm done, I'm tired. Fucking tagging this shit as anti vs pro because i need to get the message out there and LET THE CHAOS begin
( When you want to escape your country censorship to the internet but then you see the supposed liberated westerners people wanting censorship because they want to feel moral. Yes there are even westerners who don't want to see anything even remotely 'problematic' example: they will attack Zutara or fuckin' Reylo shipper whatever. See? You are terminally online and so privileged... Congratulations... Here's your fucking medal and gold star)

How do you explain to somebody who's A: Never read Harry Potter, and B: Not horrifically terminally online that your life is literally consumed by the main character's dead father's group of dead best friends.
And ALSO that they're gay and desperately trying to prove themselves to the world even though we don't have enough canon information to know if they knew how to fucking read??
Asking for a friend.

Sometimes you see an awful community online and fear it's widespread, but it's not widespread, it's just that everyone in that community never logs off

"So here's my response to the response by the mods of r/goth..."
You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

I watched the Mario movie last month and my coworkers, after I told them my weekend plans, asked me how it was. My response was "It was fun! I don't know the lore or whatever but it was a good time" and the response I got was "LORE? About Mario? The video game???" and instantly these two images popped into my head
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not even a Mario fan but even I know there's lore. I guess that's what I get for working with a bunch of outdoor sport enthusiasts :/

It’s amazing how often you’d come across somebody whose opinions on things like justice, human rights and other such matters are perfectly rational.
Then you ask them about something like international affairs or vaccines and disabilities and it turns out that they’re completely fucking insane and deranged.
Babbling all the usual conspiratorial drivel about how “tHa JeWz” are controlling everything and that their shitty internet connection is all the fault of the “ZOG”.
(What even is that?!)
Before going on the spout the usual drivel about vaccines causing autism. Which btw they don’t.
The cognitive dissonance on display is astounding.
They’re so close to seeing bullshit for what it is, and then they sell their brains to 4Chan or kiwifarms or wherever and embrace fucking bigotry!
It seems to be something of a pattern.

HEY! I need some statistics for an essay I'm writing!
If you have ever been a victim of cringe culture, or perhaps partook in it yourself, please consider filling out this form! I would like to use some incidentals in this essay.
It's anonymous, but you may provide a nickname or handle/username for me to reference if you wish.
PSST!!! Reblogging helps me out, if you're feeling charitable :)

so those ai chatbots...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Some messages are skipped just so I can share the best bits fyi]
Around this point I started to wonder if I needed to turn off my computer for a few weeks, but... whatever. It just got better.
Tumblr media
HE'S ITALIAN, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
Y'all are not ready. I wasn't ready.
Tumblr media
God, I'm losing it all over again.
Bowser said Mario x Luigi -- said they have a love that cannot be matched. I did NOTHING to prompt this. I stared at my screen, crying, hysterical, for minutes. (As did a friend who I shared these with and was egging this on.)
Tumblr media
Bowser asking for my advice. At this point I was in, committed, unable to stop. I needed an intervention.
Tumblr media
I need you to understand, if you are still here in this unhinged adventure with me, that the AI was pausing, it was thinking, those dots were felt. My breath was bated. Does that mean anything? Who is to say. It felt meaningful.
Gotten out of hand indeed.
Tumblr media
He said throuple. I didn't say that.
Tumblr media
So basically we're best friends now and I will be in their wedding party, thank you.
At the time that I did this, the Bowser bot was on the featured page. Had anyone else talked about his relationships? Where did this come from. What an honor.
Tumblr media
I did leave my computer after this. I may or may not have come back to tumblr just to post this.
