大想想的姑娘

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY*

here's the lgbtq tag trending as it does regularly due to pornbots catfishing using the same stolen photos from the same trans woman on the same trending tags page

remember the year in review? this was one of the featured tags

here's tumblr staff stating that making death threats towards trans women isn't a violation of the ToS or user guidelines

type of shit you can just say to trans women on this website. same person btw

here's tumblr staff terminating me for appealing the explicit flag on a post immediately before accepting said appeal and then terminating my already terminated blog to change the termination reason to something i can't appeal when I appealed the termination for explicit content

here's tumblr staff doing the exact same thing a second time

here's tumblr staff flagging SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY REBLOGS of a year old post with 15,000 notes as sexually explicit despite it not actually showing anything

here's SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY REBLOG of a post with gifs of two fully nude people fucking center frame being flagged as sexually explicit and the same gifs in the trending tags thumbnails

here's tumblr letting people blaze sissy hypno captions even though anything actually mentioning trans women gets denied

here's tumblr giving my original blog of 13 years a special kind of mature flag that automatically marked every single post i made as mature content separate from the actual content label

here's one of the pictures of the PMMM gachapon toys from the photoset of them that someone reported as CSAM that tumblr terminated me for - one of the two surviving images from it, from back when they actually bothered to moderate posts instead of just hitting the nuke button without looking

here's tumblr instantly denying my appeal for these terminations before I even get the email where they assure me they will carefully review it

here's tumblr terminating me 5 times in the weeks it took them to remove a burner blog and a single post encouraging people to mass report me and harass me forever over completely fabricated claims

here's tumblr flagging my already mature-flagged blog as mature out of the blue 15 minutes before dropping the age verification shit

and here's the episode of the anime that I posted a screencap from that they flagged as sexually explicit, denied my appeal on twice, and then marked my blog mature the first time for posting - available for viewing on youtube with a TV-14 age rating

the TMEs are framing Jax as a sexual predator now lmao

my general point is still that like. even if the label is a colonial imposition, that was ages ago and in today's age many only understand themselves under those terms, bc before that it was caste names for religion which we obviously can't do now, so what are we supposed to do? /gen

Yes, by dominant, I mean Hinduism, as is intrinsically tied to/ continuing the legacy of brahminization and sanskritization in India and Nepal. You can check out this reply by @dominadajarvispokan that explained it in much better detail if you want to know more. As explained, this is a feature that isn't exclusive to Hindu fascism, or 'Hindutva', but one that is still widely practice and this is what needs to be abolished.

I think you're off on your assessment that the project of caste integration is something that's been completed. While it is true that many people today, willingly or unwillingly, understand themselves under caste terms, this is not an attribute to Hinduism's success in stripping indigenous cultures of their identities. Rather this is the manifestation of a coercively-upheld caste-based apartheid which offers very real material benefits to those who fall in favor of the higher caste, who maintain a dominance in political and economic spheres. They are political leaders, bosses, CEOs, billionaires, and elites in every level that hold access to disproportionately higher portions of urban and farm land, and control the means that the lower caste people have to sustain their livelihoods.

Class is how caste is coercively imposed upon people. People understand themselves as a lower caste because that is the material outcome of such a system, not because they view themselves as inherently inferior to the higher castes. Like in any class-based hierarchy, there have been anti-class -- anti-caste -- movements throughout our region that have manifested in ways that people don't even recognize. This ties into the rampant Islamophobia, anti-Buddhist and many other forms of discriminatory sentiments that fascist Hindu leaders are known to take advantage of to enforce caste hierarchy, using hard and soft power channels as necessary.

So, to finally answer your question of what is to be done, I don't see the struggle against Hindu dominance as different from the class struggle in South Asia. While caste hierarchy has been in place for centuries, the growing centrality of class as the primary means of its enforcement is continuously creating conditions for class struggle. Nepal's abolishment of the Hindu monarchy by popular support was a natural consequence of the progress of history, as are the socialist and communist struggles that are ongoing in different parts of India. As the elites resort to increasingly violent means of maintaining their positions, you will find that the situation of challenging Hindu dominance is already much better today than when these regions were dominated by feudalism and industrial capitalism.
