it's kind of crazy to not allow kids to swear. why do they have to perform their own childness. is it like, a sex thing for parents, some kinda power play, or what?

it's the same as how violating gender roles (and especially being transgender) makes other people around you uncomfortable even though it has nothing to do with them. it makes the artifice of the social category visible, when people prefer to believe that it's natural. that has implications for the viewer's actions and position within the social category, not just the person they're viewing. they could violate those gender roles in the same way, and so the fact that they're not doing so becomes a choice, rather than a natural inevitability, and their separation from the "opposite" gender becomes lessened, and what does that mean for their own gender? if children aren't a fundamentally different type of creature from adults, with appropriately different moral standards for what behavior towards them are acceptable, then maybe some of the ways that they have treated (and intend to continue to treat) children were like, bad? these types of social categories require active maintenance to keep people believing in the reality and naturalness of the category, and making people do arbitrary and visible stuff like that is a component of that maintenance

yes we are all very impressed with the depth of your research. Your 27 citations in two sentences, however, goes past ‘impressive’ and becomes ‘your historical article looks like the goddamn warrior cats wiki page for firestar’

where's that native meme that's like "lol you worship the sun lmao" and they respond "ok. the sun is real"

ok but if you go to the actual article the person was buried with women’s accessories and in the manner reserved for women and from that they decided it must be a gay man which is sort of hilarious

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.
