Do you prefer movies/tv, reading, or videogames and what's your favorite movie, book, or game?

the answer to "theo have you seen [insert movie]" is almost always no. as a hard of hearing and visually impaired person, movies are hard for me to engage with. i have to watch movies in a very specific way (sitting close to the screen, with high contrast subtitles and/or blaring volume) so it's just like?? a lot of effort. that said, i like pixar movies and also jurassic park movies. i liked all the jumanji movies new and old too

i love reading and have lots of tools to help me do so! i've always loved to read. i can't pick a favorite book, but i really really like simon sinek as an author lately! i'm also enjoying the bioshock: rapture novel but i'm not very far into it yet.

gaming is tough. the aforementioned problems with movies arise in games as well, plus my hands strongly dislike controllers and tend to lock up (the same reason i'm HoH is the same reason my hands are very very bad - bone/connective tissue disorder my beloathed) if i play too long. that said, i like pokèmon way too much bc it's my comfort game series. the fandom can get a little odd though unfortunately in my experience but that's what block buttons r for

i also enjoy stardew valley and minecraft. i'm working on bioshock and final fantasy IX rn and love them so far. it just takes me a long time to get through games 😭

also technically it wasn't part of the ask but i LOVE card games and board games and TTRPGs

hi hiii Theo(ry!!) can I ask why you call SeongJoong “madz” and not “matz?” :0 /gen

yeah no problem! it’s just a different romanization of the korean word/phrase but i’ll give a quick little rundown. so it comes from 맏형 which means oldest guy or oldest brother and this character > ㄷ < is the equivalent of an english “d” sound. the way madz is written in korean is 맏즈 “m a d j eu” and you can transliterate it as a t sound but in my opinion it doesn’t make as much sense here. there are letters that can make what are called t-stops when put at the end of a syllable and they’re called that because they make a sound similar to the last “t” in “that” if you’re someone who doesn’t put emphasis on it, which is probably why people write it as “matz” with a t. ㄷ is a t-stop (which i may have forgotten till just now) and another common thing with t-stops is that in pronunciation they kind of get dropped and instead you place more emphasis on the next letter, which in this case is ㅈ, the equivalent of j. so it doesn’t really make a difference because it’s not big in the pronunciation anyway but yeah i just kind of transliterate it more directly ? i guess :)

#you probably weren’t expecting such a long reply😭 but i’m a language nerd i love language structure #tldr it’s just one way to romanize it and i’ve seen it both ways before #but i’ve been studying korean for around 2 and a half years so i just use madz bc it seems more right to me! #if anyone knows korean better or is more fluent in it feel free to tell me im wrong! #all part of learning #theo.ask

what are ur thoughts on why radical inclusionism is harmful and/or do u have any resources on the subject? im interested in learning more about the pov

sorry for this taking so long! school has been taking a lot out of me. thank you for your patience! i've put my full response under a cut as to not clog dashes.

first off, i want to very clearly establish that i am not in any way talking about inclusion itself as a concept. being against radical inclusionism does not mean i'm for exclusionism as a blanket statement--again, i'm not against inclusionism itself, i'm against the very specific radinclus movement.

honestly, I totally understand why radinclus people think the way they do. it's a very easy rabbit hole to go down, and on a surface level, the concept of "including all good-faith identities" sounds fantastic. the problem comes when you look into what a lot of that really means.

defining it as "good-faith identities" means that if someone says they are identifying as something in good faith, you have no right to criticize them. i've seen it play out more than a few times--take people who are transabled or transrace, or identities that are inherently bigoted ("afab trans woman", for example). the very basic premise of radical inclusionism removes the suggestion of critical thought ("who is affected by this? is there harm coming from someone saying this?") and makes a person's inclusion in the community hinge on accepting everything told to them at face value.

this is not coming out of nowhere. i'm not going to block evade to get a few examples i'd like to because i'm not an asshole but the gist of it is "what right do we have to dictate anyone else's experience, just trust what people say they are". again, on the surface this sounds fine, but if you look a little deeper into some of the things that people who say this support, it becomes evident that there's a nasty correlation going on.

most evidently, it leaks into ableism. the venn diagram between radical inclusionists and people who treat mental illness like a fun game (aka endos, which is a whole other thing i'm not going to get into rn, and """transabled""" people*) is pretty much a circle, and it all connects (from what i've seen) to the single biggest problem with radinclusionism: it actively discourages critical thought. like i said above, radical inclusionism punishes those who dare to be "exclusionists" (criticize any part of any "good faith identity") with ostracization from their peers.

it also discourages looking at actual queer history or talking to people with experience to make your decisions. instead of asking for unbiased sources and talking to those around you, radical inclusionism shoves the idea of criticizing "good faith identities" being evil down your throat. if you ask for hard medical scientific sources when someone claims that they're a system without trauma so that you can review the evidence and make your own independent decision, you're discounting people's lived experiences. same goes for if you talk to someone affected outside of the group and ask how they feel about mspec lesbians or afab trans women and learn their opinion and then go back to the group and ask them to account for or respond to it.

they push the narrative that you're not using your resources and learning about science and history and figuring out your own stances through critical thought, you're perpetrating an exclusionist mindset and discounting "good faith identities".

not that you'd be able to see opinions outside the group's--it's a very, very tight echo chamber, with almost no chance of a dissuading opinion getting through in a way that isn't in the tone of a "get a load of this guy cam". who would want to interact with a nasty exclusionist, after all?

instead, i propose informed inclusionism. inclusionism that encourages critical thinking and discussion. inclusionism that advocates for talking to those around you as well as looking at historical and scientific sources as appropriate to make decisions. inclusionism that lets you take stock of the harm that some so-called "good faith identities" can cause, and that discourages you from turning a blind eye in the name of inclusionism when someone says how they are affected by said identities.

in order to become truly tolerant, you must be intolerant of intolerance. and, most importantly, you must know how to spot intolerance when it is disguised as tolerance. this requires critical thought that radinclus philosophy not only goes against, but actively punishes.

i hope this has helped you understand where i'm coming from better! again, thank you for your patience, this took a while to type out and edit and i've been very busy lately. if you have any questions, feel free to ask! i'll get to them as soon as i can.

note: this really doesn't seem to be an issue that a lot of people are talking about, which is interesting, and a reason there aren't more resources on this. i searched and searched, but couldn't really find much if anything that expressed this viewpoint. i honestly would have thought that there'd be more of a pushback against radinclus philosophy especially with how much tumblr tends to emphasize the need for critical thought, but i guess not. hopefully this can help create a space for dialogue + discussion in an area that sorely needs it! ^^ *i'm fully aware that biid is in and of itself a disability. someone being disabled in one form does not stop them from being ableist to those with another disability. if someone with biid identifies as transabled to being an amputee, that is ableist towards amputees. you cannot identify into a disability.

what's wrong with transandrophobia?

implies trans women oppress trans men, implies "androphobia" exist, the idea was spread by someone who has a corrective rape fetish for lesbians (EXTREMELY graphic sexual content, transphobia, lesbophobia, misgendering, etc in link. be warned.), completely unnecessary considering it assumes people are oppressed for being men rather than the way in which they are men, etc etc etc etc etc the list goes on and on.

tl;dr it's an unhelpful concept that furthers the things it claims to stand against while spreading the voice of someone who should not be listened to
