Mfers will hear about the “ROGD uniquely affecting poor innocent young girls” argument transphobes make and then claim transandrophobia (or whatever you want to call it) isn’t real

Or even worse, that it is real, but it’s really proof trans people assigned female at birth are being “protected” by society and are therefore benefitting from the oppression of transfems

As if infantilisation isn’t harmful, and as if this isn’t literally preventing people from transitioning, therefore leading to them dying. If this is a benefit, where? Where’s the benefit?

Sure, transfems are harmed by the transphobia being cultivated here, nobody is denying that. They’re being harmed by the assumption that there are no trans men, only trans women. In their minds, only confused girlies and male predators.

This fear of transness being a social contagion that spreads within female social groups makes any transmasc the vector of a dangerous disease, who must be shunned by society, in addition to the other obvious harm. It was bad enough when people thought I was a lesbian- now they really, really don’t want me around their daughters.

It’s a fear of maleness or masculinity that creeps into racism and transmisogyny, and this fear is behind tiktok transvestigation pages.

Infantilisation is always bad. It’s not a “lesser” form of oppression- and even if it was, there’s no sense in comparing oppression. Transandrophobia is one side of the polyhedron that is transphobia as a whole. Its existent doesn’t negate transmisogyny or intersexism/endosexism/perisexism. Disabled people face infantilisation the most, and are extremely frequently abused and denied agency. The same goes for elderly people and yes, even children. It’s never good.

a criticism I see of sao is often along the lines of “what’s the message? that video games are better than real life? that being trapped in the game was Good, Actually? that doesn’t apply to real life at all. that’s a useless thought experiment akin to contemplating the ethics of fucking your clone.”

the way the aincrad arc was about how you have to find love and happiness in the here & now, no matter how bleak things are. because when fighting for a cause, it’s so easy to deny yourself joy until that far-off dream is achieved; you tell yourself you’ll rest after you’ve saved enough money for early retirement. or when capitalism is over and homelessness eradicated. or when you’ve finally reached peak physical form. or when the war is over.

but so many people die before that happens. or they live to see it but shortly succumb to trauma or just the ravages of time. all those years spent fighting for your cause, but now you’ve won you’re an adult and you never had a chance to have any semblance of a childhood. or now you’ve grown so accustomed to misery, you don’t know how to treat happiness- so accustomed to pressure and hatred, you’re cruel and harsh to the people around you.

in sao, life went on, in its strange way. people went fishing. they got married. they cooked and ate for pleasure. they did quests and events for fun. people sarcastically say “they’re trapped in a death game and all they can think about is buying a cottage and fucking?” as if there wasn’t a very direct reasoning for this in the plot. them experiencing a sort of burnout, as well as distrust in the system as it was. them realising their own mortality, that they could be killed any day now; that it’s better to die in love than to die miserable.

Saiki K episode where Aren finds out about mafia AU tiktoks, makes a tiktok account to film a video about how it's Really Serious, Actually, and it's Disrespectful to make it an aesthetic.

but then he gets a bunch of thirst comments about how they'd be his mafia wife or whatever and he would take them in earnest. he'd think they were actually committed and he'd have a moral crisis about abandoning these fair ladies.

Anime Artwork for Palestine and Israel relief

This is the full post showing everything that I offer.

How this works is, you show me receipts of donations to aid-related organisations, and I will do the monetary equivalent as a commission for you (or a friend)! If you were looking to get a treat this month but also wanted to do charity, now you can have both!

If you're not sure where to donate, this is a list of trustworthy organisations. It’s not an exhaustive list but it is a starting point.

And I’m happy to do the same deal for other conflicts happening globally, just tell me the details.

Palestine: Palestine Children’s Relief Fund - Focuses on medical aid to children in Palestine Medical Aid for Palestine - “[H]elp MAP respond to the ongoing emergency in Gaza, as well as provide medical supplies, support healthcare services and deliver long term development to healthcare in the occupied Palestinian territory and Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.” MAP reportedly has a team on the ground in Gaza, providing critical medical aid. Anera - Providing food, hygiene kits, and medical care in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Palestine Red Crescent - More medical support in Palestine; the rest of the webpage is in Arabic, so be prepared if you want to click around at all. Basically the Palestinian Red Cross. Gaza Cemetery Project - “Al-Hamdulillah, a ​​5,500 square meters’ piece of land has been secured to create a public cemetery for the city and neighbouring areas.” This area still needs a fence to protect the burial plots before it can be used.

Israel:

Israel resources The Refuser Solidarity Network - Providing support for Israeli citizens who refuse government mandatory military service.

Mesarvot Network- Another refuser support network

pretty telling that transphobes get all “I have a valid concern”, saying “young girls are getting sterilised!!! how are they gonna have babies now!?!”

and then relentlessly mock the idea of a man being pregnant. almost like they aren’t actually concerned about fertility..

ANTI AGEING TIP: don’t let your friends find the magical oil painting that bears your likeness and your sins

theoretically, I understand that reading something Evil doesn't pollute your mind with Evil Thoughts. consuming media, no matter how awful, doesn't make you awful.

that's why to me, continuing to read/watch/play harry potter content in 2023 is a red flag, for sure, but not enough to indict someone. (paying money to do this is entirely different)

philosophically, logically, I get it. a lot of people, myself included, have had some kind of "problematic" media as a special interest, but been smart enough not to let it influence us negatively.

what I don't understand is why fans can't understand and make peace with the fact that being a potterhead in 2023 is a red flag. people have a right to not trust you or feel 100% safe around you. you don't get to be offended that somebody might be wary around you. it's not bullying when somebody calls hogwarts legacy antisemitic and says that it has no redeeming qualities. because it's not about you, it's not about making character judgements on you, it's about staying safe.

"If the depths of our mind contain within it strange forces capable of augmenting those on the surface, or of waging a victorious battle against them, there is every reason to seize them-first to seize them, then, if need be, to submit them to the control of our reason."

Surreality is "the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality"

-André Breton, Manifesto of Surrealism
