ANYA

Not everything that makes you uncomfortable is actually causing you harm

and not everything that causes you harm will be unpleasant at the time

im sorry but can you believe that cis women are out here believing that trans women honestly don’t understand stigmatisation or demonisation of genitals, like come on

No matter how much of trans hand maiden a woman is, I guarantee you she's seen some male socialised gender fuckery and just needs 2 glasses of wine and a safe space before she's terfin' out.

Unpopular opinion but women shouldn’t have to write 6 paragraph text posts to defend their right to refuse sex with anyone for any reason. Anyone who disagrees with that statement is a rapist or a rape apologist. End of story.

so being against rape culture (specifically the idea that people are entitled to sex from whoever they want) is transphobic. how telling…

I knew as soon as I saw “queer” in the url that this shit bag would be defending rape.

“Trans” is a rape movement.

I love this exchange. it’s such a perfect demonstration of a dogwhistle in effect you couldn’t make something better for a textbook example if you tried, and it’s meta, being also a perfect example of how pointing out dogwhistles can just play into the strategy. the shifting of focus from the context of the original post to its content is somehow both smooth and as blatant as possible, zero subtlety. the rhetorical steps even map 1:1 onto the added posts. it’s awesome

You’re fucking stupid. Keep defending coercive rape and homophobia.

see? you just accuse everyone of disagreeing with the content of the dogwhistle, even as they explain what you’re doing. they can and will do this forever (thanks for the the layup bestie)

☝️ This is the one. This is perfect explaination of what a dog whistle is!

Exactly. Dog whistles have to be vauge. “Women have the right to refuse sex with anyone for any reason” isn’t vauge at all. And when TRAs disagree with women having the right to refuse sex with anyone for any reason, that disagreement and anger isn’t vauge either. TRAs are upset by the idea of women being able to refuse sex with anyone for any reason because they fundamentally don’t believe women should have the right to refuse sex for any reason. They think there are circumstances under which women are obligated to have sex.

“No means no” is transphobic rhetoric apparently 😑 Certainly explains a lot

This is how you can tell an ideology isn’t based on truth: they discourage asking questions about it. Blind belief and obedience is the only way they can stay afloat, because once you start asking questions, things start to not make sense. They say that asking questions is dangerous, because they know that all it can lead to is a loss of faith in their belief system.

"Always be wary of people who are just asking questions." Gay people don't say this when people question if homosexuality is real. Feminists don't say this when people ask what it means to be oppressed as a woman. Scientists don't say this when people wonder what the research really means. The people who do say this: - Mormons: "So-called friends can introduce doubt by asking hurtful questions." (2017 Ensign) - Moonies: "It was dangerous for someone in my position in the organization to ask questions that couldn’t be answered. The other group leaders filled me with so much fear about deprogrammers that my questions were shelved. I believed my spiritual survival was at stake." (Combating Cult Mind Control, Steven Hassan) - Jehovah's Witnesses: "In that environment, she began to thrive, ask critical questions, and challenge assumptions—none of which is permitted in the Witness world." (Combating Cult Mind Control, Steven Hassan) - Scientologists: "I rapidly found out that if I asked 'hard' questions, such as the relationships between their corporations, various churches and other companies they deployed at that time, I was discouraged politely but firmly from ever asking those kinds of questions again. If I persisted, and I did upon several occasions, I was ignored entirely. Several highly-veiled threats were made of what would happen if I persisted in asking questions, most of which I ignored." ("The Scientology Revolution," Dave Laird) Rejection of rational analysis, critical thinking, and constructive criticism is a form of thought control, used by high-control groups to keep their members from questioning the beliefs and doctrine of the group. https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model-pdf-download/

hey does anyone have pictures from that whimsigothic photoshoot jk rowling did in the 90s??? Please

i must say this almost completely online conflation of "punk rock" with "inherently morally good" is like. one of the most laughable things ive ever seen

yesss more habbo hotel™ episodes for me to hatewatch/skim for the fumbled prostitution narrative & form extremely specific outlier opinions about that I will never have the bravery nor any particular determination to verbalize at great depth but could probably write entire essays about

the thing about indie animated original spectacular happy whoretel™ is that it is far more radically anti-prostitution than its fanbase realizes. it likely does not intend to be + I suspect will probably ultimately conclude on a lackluster liberal approach. it is a counterintuitively productive exercise in shadow work & moral de-stigmatization. it moronically attempts to handle some of the most traumatic experiences a human being can live through with all the cartoonish grace of a 20 car pileup. it is a surprisingly accurate representation of the structures, propaganda tools & victims of the sex industry. it is an insult that spits in the face of industry survivors and no one should ever have allowed them to touch the subject of prostitution with so much as a 10 foot pole

case in point: in the first episode of season 2, there's a flashy slapstick compilation of scenes where the hilarious rapist pimp character beats his hyperfeminized traumatized forcefully-prostituted gay male boytoy. in one of these scenes he hits him over the behind with a literal yaoi paddle so hard it breaks into pieces. in the same episode there's a musical number where the pimp & his evil besties coerce a vulnerable young woman into an illicit pornography contract which leaves her visibly desolate & shaken. this is punctuated with such delightful bits as them forcefully shaving her bush and the lyric "we trademarked all your holes!". I've seen a lot of Bad Prostitution Narratives in my time but I really have never seen another piece of media swing so violently & rapidly between being alarmingly on-the-money about the gratuitously violent & exploitative reality of the sex industry and run-of-the-mill Family Guy-tier quips where prostitution victims are the butt of every joke. because sex & violence is funney
