happy pride month everybody

OK lads but. Why is the r slur coming back. It's 2026. Why am I hearing so many of The Youth use this word liberally and at whim. Do you need me to ground you. Do I need to sit you on the naughty step. Do you need me to strap you into the Learning Chair and deliver a 4 hour lecture about the history of the r slur, ableism, and why using that word is neither big nor cool. Or do you just need me to punch you in the mouth.

It's not coming back. It never left. The only difference is more self proclaimed neurodivergent people are trying to justify using it online because they are "reclaiming" it. Despite the fact that it was never theirs to reclaim to begin with.

That's not true. Many people have added comments to this post along the lines of 'lol it never left', and I understand the urge to be flippant, but I think it's actually very disingenuous to pretend that we're not seeing a vast increase in its usage. It may not have disappeared completely, but I, An Old, went a solid 15 years without hearing it even once, and now I see it fairly consistently online and have heard it used IRL on multiple occasions. At no point in these real life instances was it used in an (ill-advised) attempt at reclaiming it; it was a solid 'that thing is r------- and it sucks' derogatory context. I think we're burying our heads in the sand about the potentially troubling reasons for its resurgence when we pretend that this has been the case all along. It absolutely hasn't.

he was actually a forestry graduate student who was doing research on bristlecone pines (Pinus langaevea) and got his increment borer stuck in the tree. this tool costs almost $800, so he asked the forest service if he could cut down the tree to recover the tool. after cutting it down, it became apparent that the tree was actually the oldest living organism. ever. (around 8,000 years old). so, not just some asshole. the guy feels extremely guilty and has even broken down in tears during an interview about the accident

its so different to know it was an accident and that NO ONE was aware until after. its not like this was one ignorant guy cutting down a fucking relic.

(It also doesn't escape me that most of the time these posts aren't even about kink on its own, it's how things are "fun and light-hearted" when applied to one subset of the population that does certain sexual practices openly and at the same time become weapons in the hands of transmisogynists. But people don't care enough of about trans women to register the argument being made and will just see mention of again, the salacious fetishes in question, and will immediately go BUT IT'S NOT OKAY. YOU'RE ASKING ME TO ACCEPT THIS AND I SIMPLY WON'T like okay. Not really sure who you're talking to at this point because it isn't OP and I suspect you are conversing out loud with a jury existing in your head)

once you realize how much everyone fucking loves age- and incest-play you'll go even more insane when they tell you to join their campaign to run transgender woman #487324 off the internet (where she gets her income) for her incest kink or whatever

it really is Our Righteous "pouting and throwing a cute tantrum at my partner to get what i want", "daddy/mommy", "old man yaoi", and a long etc v. their villainous "calling her partner 'little sis'" to encourage sexual abuse of children or smth

straight people especially LOVE ageplay have you ever seen them interact. it is like their main thing.

and not like it is important but since i sometimes see that thrown around: they love doing it in public too, and i don't mean in an obscure tumblr blog (theyre straight) but at. the store in front of 20 people. again, it is one of their main things.

i'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before but i'm just thinking about how common and rendered-invisible by normalization it is to see a straight couple where the woman playfully acts like a little girl sometimes for whatever reason and it's. fine. and i of course don't mean they should leave it in the bedroom or whatever i'm not christian, i'm saying it's so overt but of course it's fine when non-transmisogynized people do it. they have never harmed children in any way obviously.

people trying to be cute in the notes of this post (not just in this rb, either) is actually extremely annoying. oh you're a poor wittle baby who couldn't possibly know that "teen" and "(M/D)ILF" porn are some of the most popular things straight people wank to? is it your first time using the internet and/or going outside? like come on, i know i'm being harsh here, but this way of distancing yourself from it (and using a memeified image to show how you find it strange and icky) is just another way of signaling "i'm one of the good ones who would NEVER like such perverted things" which is literally just one step removed from the harassment i'm talking about. for the love of god, grow up.

I would let her kill me for sport
