Malarkyyy

ive had enough of you and your amazing digital antics

Adding "you would be friends with Hitler if he liked vocaloid" to that same list as "y'all would fuck a fence if it was white"

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

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

Also, in many ways, it's the commonly seen species that are most vulnerable to shifting baseline syndrome. People think, "well, I see X all the time, so surely they're fine!" But aren't noticing that even though they're seeing it all the time, that population has decreased by half in their lifetime

Star Wars (1977) is good because its a really good 70s fantasy movie and not a star wars movie

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

adult life is truly just thinking “I NEED TO CLEAN” while dealing with the 17 other things that have a hard deadline

wizard watching a witch get burned at the stake: anyone else feel like there’s a lot of wizard erasure? wizards just don’t have as much visibility in society as witches. i’ve decided to call this phenomenon magicandrophobia.

seeing "protect the action figures" as a response to "Protect the dolls" is maybe the most insulting thing I've ever seen, to both trans men and trans women.

First of all, the term "protect them dolls" exists because trans women, and especially trans women of color, are killed disproportionally. you are literally "all lives matter"-ing this. Secondly, can we stop this stupid fucking trend of giving gay/trans men the worse version of something that already exists for women?

I still remember having to explain to a lesbian that the term sapphic comes from a real poet who was a lesbian and had droves of love poems about women and is so influential her home is what lesbians are named after and "acheillian" comes from a guy from a story who might've fucked his friend.

"The mlm flag is only so ugly because its the lesbian flag but with boy colors" ok well that's lame as fuck actually

Yes yes... the boobs you've drawn are nice and all. But im afraid you've failed to capture wonder womans personally in this pornagraphic piece. See, Diana does not silently do doggy style with cross eyes. You neglected to portray her unyielding compassion, ironclad resolve, and golden heart. Her partner ought to realize the honor and goodness in her soul and in turn be inspired to better themselves. They do not thrust their penis or scissor their clit for merely self satisfaction. They should be crying with joy that they are being loved in this way and are sharing their own love with this relentlessly hopeful woman. Diana's vagnia/penis is the light at the end of the tunnel for them.
