the point of eowyn is "woman is depressed, wants to be free/respected/seen/known/loved, is put in a (metaphorical) box with the other women, wants to fight bc it will bring her either Respect or Death."

she kills the dang Witch King. she fights and wins and it's awesome and satisfying. but fighting is NOT her happy ending. it's her sad ending. she ends up wounded and broken, like everyone else in this stupid WWI-trauma story. Like Frodo. Like Faramir.

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

When I hear "tumblr sexyman," I think of Cecil Night Vale being constantly depicted as a skinny white man instead of literally anything else. I think of the background character white men who get elevated over protagonists that are women, people of color, or otherwise not the white man power fantasy.

Cecil Night Vale, as previously mentioned.

Oncelercest, because if there aren't two skinny white men to ship, tumblr fandom will start shipping the skinny white man with himself.

Bill Cipher inexplicably being fanon'd as a white twink despite being a fucking triangle.

Everyone fawning over Marvel Loki while shoving every woman and Black person in the MCU aside.

The way nearly every single character in Hazbin Hotel has the same "tall and skinny" body type, along with all the criticisms Black audience members have made about the issues with Alastor's design.

The fact that at the lowest point of knowledge for me as far as things like racial dynamics in this country, my friend and I at seventeen and in the midst of our senior year, were talking about this?

We both recognized the privilege that came with having American/Western names.

Me? Because I'm the descendant of chattel slaves, have a mother aboard the respectability train, and an am junior despite being a girl. So American first name. Last name is likely that of whoever owned my father's ancestors.

My friend? She's a child of immigrants and I didn't know that. Not until she showed her original name. At some point, her parents had changed it. Gave her an more American sounding one.

But yeah, I don't know how many times we need to have this conversation about AI and the biases injected into it routinely.

It started with something "innocuous" and more excusable to many. "Oh, you just can't wash your hands because the soap dispenser doesn't recognize dark skin? That's nothing."

The Amazon AI hiring scandal broke in 2018. They knew about it since they started using it in 2014. Howard University graduates unilaterally dismissed. Ethnic sounding names dumped. Women always ranked lower than men. It hasn't changed and will not change because an LLM is the sum of its dataset and THE DATASET IS BIASED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE BIASED.

What is especially concerning about LLMs is that they are black boxes, which is a comp sci term for "we put input in, output comes out, not sure what made the output the output." Basically, there could be millions of other biases like lacrosse and we'd never know because unless we look through all the data and find trends, we won't notice the correlation. Even that is not guaranteed to work, as LLMs can notice extremely small and specific patterns that humans don't see. So even if we do have all the input, the resulting output, and the time and effort to evaluate it all, we'll still probably miss things.

(Also, mentions of sexual trauma ahead. Proceed with caution)

I actually identified as asexual for a few years before identifying as bi, which I identify as to this day. As mentioned above, I'm also a person who has gone through sexual trauma.

I just wanted to say that, when my trauma is triggered by something, it's asexual activism that keeps me sane. When I feel like I'm seen as immature, or prudish, or that I'm incapable of being an adult because sexual talk is just too much sometimes, it's in this community that I find refuge. It's here where I hear that it's okay to not want to hear or talk about it, that I'm not broken or lesser than my peers because they can handle it fine and I can't. That it's okay to have complex personal feelings about sex. It's here too that I find companionship in criticizing people's constant need of talking about sex.

To the asexual community at large: I just wish to express my gratitude. Even if I no longer "belong", this community is what makes me feel seen and understood in a world where I feel isolated at times. Thank you. Asexual activism and awareness saves lives.

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
