AINT NOTHIN BUT A HOUNDSTONE

and honestly it also diminishes what slurs are. a slur isnt being called something you don't like.... a slur has history of actual *murder* and segregation and hate crimes. saying you don't experience the same kind of unique hate trans women do is not a slur and genuinely it's an *actual* terf talking point. this is a terf rabbit hole you are going down and the fact the response is to double down rather than listen to, yknow, the people wgo actually coined the term, is more evidence

let's make this clear. my wife is transfem. i will not fucking stand for any of this bullshit and i will defend her and her sisters to the end.

also, because i despise vagueing, and I think people deserve to know who's unsafe... and I too suffer from nosy bitch disease.... [I have been asked politely to remove this part as to not harm transfem bloggers and others who have been hurt by the situation. Please DM me and I will tell you who they are immediately.] have some serious thinking to do if you want any transfem to ever trust you again.

you are not immune to propaganda. You are repeating terf rhetoric I have *directly seen* from terf blogs! there are things you are saying that are *terf talking points.* you also are not even spelling terf right which in and of itself is suspicious to me???. either ignorance in the topic, ...or a dogwhistle. I hope ignorance.

and if you keep going down this path, you will be rightfully turned on eventually by the people you are sucking up to

Listen to transfems.

Your deflection anytime someone points it out is itself enough of a red flag. You aren't as slick as you think. You are not welcome on this blog if you continue this path. (and looking at that more vague post with 20+ reblogs, you aren't welcome on a lot of bigger blogs than me too) Both me and Shilo will genuinely hate you, and she's a headmate so I mean that for real, ...she wants me to say a lot more to you that would be inappropriate honestly, lmao. maybe you will change. I hope so. I hope you're just some kids who fell into terf posting, but eventually it's on you, especially when so many people point it out and you plug your ears. Likely you will not even read this far as you've already proven yourself to be part of the piss on the poor tumblrites from what I've seen of your responses.

I just woke up and I got to look at the fun posts being made recently by the people involved. I'm nonbinary and intersex. I don't appreciate them speaking for all nonbinary people and ESPECIALLY do not appreciate them speaking for intersex people in this way.

Please don't try to use anything said as an excuse to harass or threaten others. That's a dick move and all you do is make the problem worse.

Was TADC a perfect show by any means? No. Was the finale flawless? Not at all. Should the other characters have been fleshed out more? In my opinion, yes, 1000%. In fact, I think all the characters besides Caine and Jax are way too passive and agreeable to be entertaining.

But that isn't the type of criticism I see when I go look in the "tadc critical" tag (as someone who loves being critical of stuff) No, instead I see people interpreting some moral lesson from the show and spouting hatred towards Goose based on *there* moral interpretation of the show.

For one, a lot of the criticisms of misogyny in the show completely ignore Jax's trans identity. Do I think the other women and Zooble should have had more to do? Perhaps, but by far the most interesting character is Jax, a woman. And the characters with the most screen time are two women, Jax and Pomni. I think you can critique the writing of women in the show. (but really, show me a popular piece of media where you can't. The outrage seems very overblown and targeted for a show with a mostly female cast and an important non-binary character, but I digress) However, if you're doing so by erasing Jax's identity and not acknowledging she's a woman, your critique is immediately suspect. I mean, I just don't get it. The only reasoning I can see behind it is a lot of queer people must not think trans women are women before they come out/transition, but that's just false ??? I came out as gay as a teenager, but I was a lesbian my whole life. The same is true of trans people.

The second critique I see is the moral of TADC is to "forgive and be nice to your abusers." Just a ridiculous and juvenile take. Are Ragatha and Jax's human selves found living with their abusive mothers? Did the narrative ever make it seem like Gangle owed Jax anything? Actually, I'll double that, did the narrative ever make it seen like *anyone* owed Jax anything at all? I don't think so. Yes, Pomni never gives up on her, she gets chance after chance, but that's to highlight the tragedy of her character. The "it didn't have to be this way" is the crux of the whole story. And Pomni's willingness to go off the deep end for someone who's given no indication they deserve it is some of the strongest characterization she has.

So yes, the claims TADC is abuse apologia is patently ridiculous. The show goes out of its way to not give any excuses to Jax's behavior. And she doesn't get redeemed ! She fucking dies ! Yet it's still not enough for people, why ? I think a lot of you are just uncomfortable with the idea of humanizing a character who is also a bully and abuser, and your making your discomfort Goose's problem. It's clear from the way a lot of people talk about Jax that they wanted their revenge power fantasy against their childhood bully to play out with her, and it's like, oh well. Grow up.

Lastly, let me talk about the accusations of TADC "misusing" Isn't She Lovely. As a Black person myself, I find this completely absurd. For one, there's no misusing a song: that's the beauty of art. For two, it's used extremely well in my opinion. For three, that particular song has been used so much, at white weddings all across the U.S., but we draw the line at using it in a transfeminine context? Uh huh. And no.4: I think it's hilarious and ironic this discourse of people supposedly so protective of Black culture and art can only refer to STEVIE WONDER !! as a "Black man."

I've had these thoughts for a while, but with Goose leaving Tumblr, I thought it was important I share. I don't blame her. As someone who loves critique and wants to engage in it, the tadc critical community sucks. You guys are at best, tone deaf and insensitive when it comes to trans women and their art, or at worst, purposefully transmisogynistic and hateful.

i got me a song that goes "aint nothin but a hound dog yeah, cryin all the time"

but there aint no hounds here is there? somea the people say hounds are "dogmon" but i aint wanting to confuse anyone.

But if you wanna keep the word "hound" there are options, because we have mons with those in the name, and they're all dogs!

Houndour, Houndoom, and Houndstone. Houndour is the puppy form of Houndoom. Houndstone evolves from Greavard.
