Kaede is my Darling

We Africans are the most beautiful humans on Earth, and we need to KNOW IT, and OWN IT!

Absolutely 💯.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to put no effort into my appearance

if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

The loudest guy in the fucking world: hey man

Imagine the level of whimsy I could reach if I just had $5M in my bank account rn

If I killed someone I'd be so impossible to find online I'd be posting "Feels really good not being a killer and having never killed anyone ever"

You have to kill your disgust response now.

To use the most inflammatory example. If your issue with child sexual abuse is that it “feels gross” you will end up linking harmless things to csa and ignoring deeply harmful things that aren’t usually considered csa but absolutely are. If you don’t understand how the sexualization of children works and simply base your entire understanding of what feels “icky” you end up looking past dress coding, the slut shaming of grade school children, children being forced to make unwanted contact with adult (forced hugging cuddling etc) and the refusal to teach children how to recognize and avoid predation and instead get up in arms about cartoons.

also i am really annoyed at people thoughtlessly using the term crutch to refer to ai stuff because crutches are good actually and yet whenever someone uses the term they mean it in an apparently demeaning way. some people do in fact need crutches! idiot

writers, instead of asking ai for help, you can always use your childhood trauma and repressed issues to help you with that fic
