the thing about the framework of "attraction" when it comes to child sexual abuse is that it makes it impossible for children marked as always and already "ugly" and "undesirable" - visibly disabled, racialized, fat, sexgender non-compliant - to understand themselves/ourselves as victims/survivors of sexual violence. because "who would be attracted to someone like us?" but of course, when we reframe csa as an attraction to power - its pursuit, its reification, its spectacle - we can understand why it is this category of child that is disproportionately subjected to extreme and persistent sexual violence.

Remember when the entire internet believed that it was entirely the fault of Anish Kapoor that consumers weren't able to purchase an airplane paint that required proper ventilation and a paint booth to use, entirely on the word of a pigment manufacturer who then used the video to advertise his pigments?

I can't imagine living the life of noelle holiday. your dad is dying. your mom is abusive. your sister has been gone for years. your friend peer pressures you into doing fucked up shit. and then you gotta go home to a christmas themed mcmansion. a motion activated santa claus starts dancing when you walk in the door. everything smells like peppermint and roasted chestnuts 24/7/365. id be sitting in the living room with a candy cane on the table looking at it like it's a gun

[jojo pose] count dracula. [different jojo pose] nice to meet you. [jojo walk cycle] alexa, turn down the music! [the obnoxious music doesn't change volume] mr harker

it was international jazz day and all you guys listened to was a single album??

not even close to joking when i say that everyone going "meeeee :3" in the notes needs to ask themselves why they're so much more willing to listen to jazz that isn't made by black artists

the idea that the weird route is exploring transmisogyny by forcing kris into the traditionally masculine role of the achetypical video game protagonist feels so fucking obvious to me that i sometimes forget how mad some people get when you point this out

like I think it is good and important to be able to criticise porn and erotica for the relationship to the political environment/context of creation etc, but I think that’s not too different from criticising any other art on these grounds. how is the erotica speaking to conventions of the genre? what is the author trying to tell you in what they hold up as attractive? what might the author be saying that they’re not necessarily aware that they’re saying? how does the narrative relate to other dominant cultural narratives? these are all valuable questions to ask and can be answered in nuanced ways that do not involve kink-shaming & do not involve calling people degenerate perverts. yknow.

something I read the other day had a storyline that involved a woman being kidnapped by foreign “disgusting perverts” (<- not supposed to be sexy) so that she could then be rescued by an army general (<- sexy) who had to fuck her as part of the rescue. now it’s no bother to me if someone else gets their rocks off to that, power to them. that said, we can criticise the framing of Woman Ending Up In Sex Trafficking Requires An Army Man To Fuck Her To Safety in the same way we would criticise similar framing in non-erotic contexts. how is this serving the image of the benevolent military? how is it feeding into the white woman’s fear of the other? what is being held up as ‘perverted’ in its juxtaposition to ‘sexy’? etc etc. this was bad erotica but it was also pro-military propaganda and that does mean something
