you blog long enough and you stop making jokes. start posting at two week intervals. shit like "i saw a bug today" and "the visions are getting worse"

i dont think lolcows are funny. i dont think its funny to make fun of people. chris chan, birdie, idc. it never comes from a place of genuine criticism and is always just a way to bully people who are deemed less than human, to easily get away with being a jackass

nobody should be as heavily documented on the internet as some of these people are, its an invasion of privacy, and more often than not, stems from bigotry of some sort

if you genuinly engage in lolcowing then i dont trust you. as an autistic person, if you find that funny, then i dont trust you. ill just assume im next

idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist

oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"

among my least favourite conversations i regularly experience in media analysis is when you interpret something as potentially alluding to an "uncomfortable" topic and people immediately start trying to defang it. "this reads like a rape scene" "umm actually it's not rape, it's just a very intimate act of violent assault that violates the victim's sense of safety and bodily autonomy with NO 🙅 sexual connotations or elements". you do realise that's neither any better nor functionally different, right?

"this relationship resembles a traditional abusive marriage between a husband and wife" "well they're not married or heterosexual so you're wrong and an insane bigot for comparing them to such a horrible thing also" HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A FUCKING METAPHOR???

what’s the most devastating song that comes to mind? like you’re on the verge of tears listening to it

god forbid trans women who have been targeted and had their lives fucked up by meaningless callouts be skeptical of other callouts targeting trans women lmao, this is not an "accountability issue in the trans community" because you guys think accountability means harassing trans women off the internet over baseless claims

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

this problem is easily solvable by not giving a shit and judging art by its actual content lol
