just some things i wanna rant about
rant #1: caedsexuality, caedromanticism, etc.
Well I was trying to find labels that fit me as a neurodivergent and queer person. I knew I was ace-spec, but didnāt know exactly how I fit on it. And yeah, I knew I didnāt NEED labels or anything, but for some reason it made me less stressed about finding my identity. I could caedsexual and caedromantic and I was like, ā Shit, I think thatās me. ā But the thing about it is that when I explain it to my parents they think itāll just go away when I heal. And that could be the case, but Iāve never really liked sex all that much. I may not always be caedsexual but I know Iāll always be on the a-spec.
Rant #2: the TikTokification of punk
holy shit this one makes me angryā¦ So let me ask you something, what is punk? You might say itās a fashion style or a music genre, but thatās not it. Itās a mindset and lifestyle. Itās not a fucking microtrend. TikTokās algorithm of ā punks ā is fucking ridiculous. Iām not trying to gatekeep, Iām trying to inform. Punk is about D.I.Y.s, thrifting, using what you haveāāNOT FAST FASHION. Buying from capitalistic websites that sell ā punk items ā arenāt gonna make you punk. SHEIN, Temu, Wish, etc ISNāT PUNK. Also, are we gonna talk about how almost NONE of the people who consider themselves punk on the platform use punk music in their videos? Itās all fuckboy / e-boy shit that doesnāt even match the subculture. Itās watering down the authenticity and importance of punk and making it seem like nothing at all. And itās tiring seeing an important subculture die out due to capitalism and microtrends.
Rant #3: Carrie 1976
In the book, Carrie is intentionally unattractive to society. She is chubby, not skinny. In the movie I think sheās stunning, they got one of the most beautiful actors at the time. And I mean, itās sad that they thought theyād have to use an attractive actor for the movie to be liked. The reason they used pigās blood out of any other animal is because they were comparing her to one, which doesnāt make sense in the movie when sheās skinny.
