no im a person with a functioning brain is what i am, the internet trying to reduce this down to just some ideological difference with bizarro reductionist terms to try and reframe the issue at hand as a simple disagreement on preference is fvcking ridiculous and only serves to protect those who can and have fvcked up actual real people.

if you look at the image of, explicit representation of, what is in context and confirmed as a 9 year old child and go “what if they had s3x”, that is a problem, that is not healthy behavior, and to treat that me being appalled by and hating that people are spreading written and drawn child p*rnography is just me being some “anti” is like. where is your head even at, where did everyone’s critical thinking skills go?

but! i ain’t having that shit! not today!

the rhetoric of “anti” and its counterpart “anti anti” only serve to pull attention away from the root issue, which is the COMPLETELY SANE AND NORMAL revulsion to people on the internet trying to convince other people on the internet that it’s okay to s*xualize children and the imagery of children.

get outta here with that shit. i’ve been around for too goddamn long, been thru too goddamn much, to even ENTERTAIN the idea that people doing this is okay.

and like consider too how i have to repeatedly declare my discomfort with people entering my space with my content who behave in this way, how people are repeatedly trying to poke at the boundaries i have every right to have.

so the thing about Big Cats is that they’re all closely related members of the genus Panthera! 

because they’re all part of the same lineage, they share a lot of traits like the ability to roar.

and cheetahs are actually members of a completely different cat lineage altogether, the genus Acinonyx!

they’re not very closely related to the big cats at all and are actually most closely related to Pumas, which you can totally see if you stack them up next to each other and squint really hard. 

B-DM TSCH!

about nine million years ago in North America, cheetahs and pumas split off from the rest of the small-cat lineage together and evolved into their separate groups! different species of now-extinct ancient cheetahs thrived in North America for millions of years, streaking across the prairies and clobbering the everloving shit out of any herbivore too slow to get out of the way.

(this is why the North American pronghorn antelope is actually the second-fastest land animal alive today, despite not having any current predators even vaguely in their speed range! once upon a time, not that long ago, they had to dodge a prehistoric cheetah that could pull highway-level speeds.)

cheetahs were successful enough that they even made it out of North America and into Eurasia via the Bering Land Bridge, only making it to Africa after conquering their way across the steppes!

but things changed, as they always do, and global climate disruption led the the extinction of all cheetah species except the one in Africa, effectively terminating the entire cheetah dynasty.

do they remember? I hope so.

pumas are doing JUST FINE, though! guess there’s something to be said for being a mid-sized hypergeneralist predator in the face of global change.

gold experience: this is the truth of requiem: that you will never experience the end of your actions. giorno doesn't even know the true capabilities of his own stand. this may not be bad. because humanity is such a fragile concept, you see. the slightest motion, touch, or concept, even, could ruin them. alas, this would be his fate. as it is yours.
