The World Is Quiet Here.

i'm gonna be honest with you all i straight-up did not notice that the E in this picture was fucked up. i don't know what's going on here and i'm scared

This kinda gets it backwards. Cause trans men are regularly spoken over, and often left out of the conversation completely.

Yeah that's the point. People on here claim that the top happens all the time when it doesn't. The reality is the bottom one is what happens, and it's not talking over. I'm dismissing the strawman that people on here push.

Nah, this comic is extremely clear, and you are not making a reasonable conclusion. No one is above criticism, but this criticism is deeply undeserved. Shelterdog has been nothing but a fierce ally.

For something so “clear”, my very autistic self also did not find that clear in the slightest. And I’m sure many other people, autistic and otherwise, had the same issue. The joke being exclusionary in its execution is worth criticism, everyone has the right to understand. And an ally to one community can still be an ignorant person in other aspects of life, someone bringing that to attention is okay. So kindly, go fuck yourself, @sapphoslilhelper

Why is it literally impossible for people to be normal about trans women

these people will message within seconds of you posting something even just mentioning the word commission, even if you aren't searching

They’ll also make several posts complaining about people calling them a scammer or get upset when someone they target commissioned someone else instead of them lol

yes I've seen that! even felt bad lol. I think they'll also sometimes support or back each other up?

Yep! You yell at one and then a swarm will come after you and say you’re not the ‘better artist’ and claim harassment…while they all have stolen art on display and get called out for it too lol. All the easier to find them!

Hearing about Book Drama wherein somebody's publisher or whoever pushes to market their book as romantasy because it's #marketable and then romantasy readers read it expecting it to be romantasy and are understandably shocked and confused when it's Not. On like a semi regular basis. And I'm starting to thuink maybe we should aim for people who would "actually want to read it" instead of "demographic that makes the most money for the publisher"

Now, the "falsely advertised not-romantasy book" in question typically also has Other Problems making people Hate It. But. Yknow. Maybe the false advertising set it up for a Not So Good reception. I think we need to start hunting publishers for sport. This is not to say I am fond of Authors. Frankly the written word is of the devil

New question: would it be funny if I started lying about my own work being romantasy. It is sff and technically involves relationships between characters. Scaring the hoes would almost certainly be detrimental to, like, everything. But it might be funny to call it that. Like saying Alien (1979) was a romcom

@little-tiny-raccoon-hands and I have been lying about Rabbit Heart being a "cozy fantasy" and it certainly hasn't hurt our numbers. genre deception is okay when it's funny.

Everyone says @derinthescarletpescatarian 's writings are normal and maybe contain new adults, so it has to be true. Copy|Paste especially should be New Adult (a genre that apparently exists).

Good point! Copy|Paste contains so many new adults!

Lies. I read it and it only contained one adult.

But she was new so many times

derin, your advertising!

Oh right I could've put that link in. Advertising is hard.

your erotica doesn't need to align with your principles. you can find something hot and not believe it should be the way of things. you can play out dynamics in kink that shouldn't be replicated societally. what gets you going is not an indictment of your character

the Masters of the Universe remake makes this video relevant again which means we are in the best timeline
