be yourself or die dreaming

I understand the urge to comment on recent trends in which people seem to want increasingly sanitized media compared to the recent past, but when you say things like "people used to just shrug and move on when there were books and movies that made them uncomfortable" it's like...well. actually people used to convict artists of obscenity in a court of law.

Instead of crass and discriminatory "jokes", I prefer to get my chuckles from wholesome humor, such as: "my god, the scrimbly blumbo!" Hahahaha! Really, there's no need for slurs and put-downs when comedy like "skcrunklo bonglo bingo" is available! I am racist as fuck though,

imagine a german going "haha we all have that friendship we remember with the stoicism of an operation barbarossa veteran" thats literally what that post and any other post deploying the 'vietnam vet' as an unermarkable comedy archetype sounds like if you know anything at all about the invasion of vietnam

earlier i saw someone on here say "god forbid men do anything" as though society holds men to any kind of standards at all

self-described "cozy" games aren't even cozy they're just advertiser friendly

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

god forbid you tell a trans man that he has male privilege and now you've gotta hear about every single time he's stubbed his toe since age 0

walk into an lgbt org, about to try joining one of their events. ask organiser if the org is transfeminist or transmisogynist. she doesn't understand. i pull out the diagram explaining the difference between transmisogyny and transfeminism. she laughs and says "it's a good org dude"

People don't get that non passing trans women are not seen as men, they are seen as non passing trans women and are treated the way they are according to the social script for trans women, which is transmisogyny.

more than anything i want a world where a trans girl realizing she is a trans girl faces zero fear from that realization and subsequent coming out. Where she can say "Oh sweet, I can just be a girl? Sign me up!", no worrying if shes girl enough, no worrying if society will accept her, no worrying if she'll be an attractive girl as she transitions, no worrying at all in any way shape or form.

ngl people who dont have an anime girl as their pfp are kinda weird, I don't trust them and neither should you and I think we need to harm these people, maybe even kill them
