The fact that this website is perpetually searching for a queer demographic that they can oppress and say is actually privileged. Trans without dysphoria, aro, polyam, bi, pan, xenogenders, mogai, enben, intersex, afab transfems, etc. I think right now the main target is trans men and transmascs more generally, but it’s the same old cycle and often the same exact people.

The fact that so many of the aphobes’ “arguments” were literally recycled homophobia: “You’re too young to know.” “Asexuality is nsfw.” “Asexuality is just a phase.” “You just say you’re ace because you think it’s quirky.”

The fact that even after the “discourse” stopped, the perpetrators looked back at it as “that cringy phase I had as a teenager” rather than “that time I bullied hundreds of random queer people for their identities and forced them back into the closet.” There were no apologies.

That literally no aspec person who has been on the Internet since before that time was left untouched, and that the entirety of online aspec culture has been forever altered from this hate wave.

That it was a gateway into radfem circles.

I don’t care if I’m revealing my location. Last night, my house was destroyed from the Old Trails fire burning in Spokane, Washington. I have my family, my pets, but nothing else.

I won’t have anyway to make money for a while, so I need donations. I’m displaced but currently at an Air B&B for now.

Being anti-nazi does not equal support for the Jewish community. Do not claim you support Jews just because you recognize that Nazis are terrible. Surprise, we actually have more to us than the Holocaust!

The thing that gets me is how little things have changed over the years. The OP was deactivated in 2019, and the replies on this post go back to 2017. The post had nothing to do with Israel or Zionism, but to the users, that doesn’t matter. It mentions the Jewish community, and that’s all they need to go off.

I’d be more likely to believe that “anti-zionism isn’t antisemitic” if anti-zionist didn’t insert themselves into posts that aren’t about Zionism in the first place.

“I support Jews, except for these ones! These ones can go die!” Is not the show of solidarity you think it is, and it’s frustrating that I keep seeing it.

yeah this is what the notes look like. which is why when gentiles insist “zionism is not judaism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” i do not believe they believe that. they do equate judaism with zionism, bc they can’t see a post abt supporting the jewish community without bringing up israel or palestine. they’re not saying “zionism is not judaism” because they actually believe that, they’re saying it because they want to create a Perfect Jew, one that says and does all the right things and has the right kind of trauma and the right kind of opinions, one they could NEVER be bigoted toward. the problem is that none of us can ever be the perfect jew. “zionism is not judaism” to them means “my perfect ideal image of a jew could NEVER do the things these awful horrible jews are doing right now (like being upset with rising antisemitism or having family in israel that they care about or reacting from a place of trauma) therefore they are not a REAL jew so i am not being antisemitic!!!!!!!”

anyway i still stand by this statement:

This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

Plus Puck's face here:

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."
