I need to kill that stupid flowery!

im sorry but um 😒 did your stupid ass just forget we were BORN WITH VAGINAS or something?

"your sexual assault rates dont compare-" wanna know why? 😃 cuz we are put under the statistics of WOMEN. Not trans men. CIS. WOMEN.

or do you just think trans men pop outta the vagina looking like men? like theres no way you are this fucking stupid. "until you get v carded" 😒 when i looked like a woman for 23 goddamm years before getting ahold of testosterone i assure you ive been "v carded" way more than you. i think the one who needs to sit way the hell down is you.

* No, it's negative.

* But she works hard and has a good track record, so she runs unopposed.

* Thaaaaaat's politics.

Hmmm 🤔💭 Are you sure about that? Now, I agree with this sentiment when it's said by other Black people in fandoms. But when white fans start parroting this... I find it rather eyeroll inducing. Sorry, but I can't help but question if they actually believe what they're saying. Btw, I say white people in fandom because they're the main cause of the issue I want to talk about, but that doesn’t mean non-black fans of any ethnicity cannot contribute to it.

So here's my question for white & non-black fans: Is that really what y'all want? Because whenever there is a flawed Black character in a movie, tv show, video game, whatever, y'all crucify them to the highest heaven. God forbid a Black character slips up from time to time, isn't always nice, or has a disagreement with the non-black main character, then suddenly there's a flood of video essays titled Why [Blank] Is The Worst Fucking Character Since The Dawn Of Television. Black characters can't even be a little sarcastic or snippy without people feeling some type of way about it. You can also expect fandoms to respond with even more hostility if the Black character is a woman.

So, again - Are y'all sure? Are y'all sure you want Black characters who are flawed, complex, & three-dimensional? Because we can't even get past "Stage One: Black Character Makes Mistakes", without fandoms erupting into a shitstorm. This means we're in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. A Black character is perfect? Non-black fans will hate them because they're a "flawless token". A Black character has flaws? They're still hated because fandom culture is notoriously racist and anti-black.

Should "Sit pretty and shut up"

Should be assaulted for what they're saying

Have no meaningful thoughts

Are only good for having sex with

Are only good for getting pregnant

Should be impregnated as a punishment

Only exist to serve others

Are being "bitchy" for being upset

Are making up the problems they're talking about

Are too stupid to talk about their own experiences

Must be exaggerating the extent of the treatment they face

And are too stupid to be in control of their own bodies

IS NOT FEMINISM!!!

You are repeating misogynistic rhetoric, and are a piece of shit.

You cannot be a feminist while using "bitch", "cunt", "whiny", and "hysterical", as insults.

Like I try to be nice about this but I have seen SO many fucking people being like "lol yeah ace/aro discourse was one thing" and that is deliberate erasure of real and important queer history in service of dodging blame on the parties that did this who, for the most part, never fucking apologized or owned up to it, or, in the case of a few blogs I still see going around, clearly still stand by all of it and just hope you don't point that out, and ofc, no one ever fucking does.

I can't offer forgiveness or absolution to everyone, but you don't need me to forgive you to forgive yourself and move on, and I do think most of the people who got caught up in it have more than earned moving on.

However, what I want is for everyone to stop downplaying it. Don't call it stupid infighting, don't go "ace stuff was one thing but this with trans men is too far" don't claim it didn't leave tumblr or the internet, own how bad it was. If you were there you know, and your history is valuable, so even when it sucks please be honest about what happened. This part of queer history should not be forgotten, and especially not for the people who never really changed and have an interest in making sure everyone thinks this was just some silly infighting.

That's what I ask, do right by us, don't let us be erased again.

Especially because when you forget, when you downplay it, you downplay what's happened with truscum shit, with biphobia, and now with trans masc exclusion. You downplay it and you disguise that it's the same people saying the same things about a new group. I found out about the rise in trans man/masc exclusion because I saw someone saying that trans men are collateral damage secondary to the real targets of transphobia, trans women, and I immediately knew the person saying it was a shithead I should NEVER trust because that is exactly what they said about bi and ace and aro people. Word for word.

You do those who were hurt a disservice when you downplay what happened, but you also make our spaces less safe because if we pretend what happened didn't we can't stop it when it starts again.

REAL PICTURES OF HER DECAPITATED BODY.

Anyone who ever participated actively in this discourse on the side of the ace exclusionists, FUCK OFF MY PAGE. I don't give a shit if you're trans, gay, anything, anyone who willingly did that you can fuck off.

I am sick and tired of people going "hurr durr cishet ace" and trying to emphasise that yeah this website is too PURITAN we need actual SEX now because we DEFINITELY didn't have that before. If someone doesn't like sex, if they don't have sexual attraction, if they are sex repulsed, then they just are. Simple as. You don't need to police them, in fact you fucking SHOULDN'T police them.

And to anyone who says that aces don't experience systemic oppression, you can fuck off too. There is no one marginalised identity that doesn't experience systemic oppression, and the idea that people are pretending that they are pisses me the fuck off.

cherubim-nylpho: okay so imagine youre born and chucked into a dark disgusting basement INSTANTLY because, because your mother sees you as cursed by a baby she aborted and a man she had an affair with (a servant, specifically) and she is so distressed that she KILLS herself, you are, a devil, the thing that killed your mom! but of course theres nothing truly there at all... maybe a longing for True Unconditional Mother's Love, because venomania is,, misogynistic in exactly the way a donna tartt protagonist is lol. as for his stepmother well. im sure they didnt speak. but maybe his brother often spoke of her and so he felt a sort of connection there nonetheless. Its beautiful but it isnt real...

cherubim-ilotte: me when king minos and the minotuar.¹

banica-megour: I just ranted for a whole ass post about this... she sees herself as her mother. She sees herself as the demon. She confuses & conflates the demon with her mother. Her goal of anything is because she fears her mother. Her identity is based on traits her mother gave to her. Her intended last words were also the last words of her mother.

banica- ??gonna be real i forgot his name. mezuru?: certainly communicates Something to youe child when you won't or can't lift a finger against your wife for screaming at and forcing food down your child's mouth but cut her down when she takes "unacceptable actions" ie cannibalism. banica conchitaibalism

ril-anne: "out of respect for her mother she has elected to remain a princess" Man. :( anne wasnt even that good a mom tbh when you look at how ril and allen turned out. she watches and learns from the adults around her... her emulation of her mother... do you think maybe in her later years she realized oh maybe the warmongering king and his schemeing queen were not the best people. ah.

ril-arth: me #continuing my father's #imperialistic expansion wars!

margy-mrs. felix: did i ever have a mother? I cant remember.

margy-marx(😭): BAD bad bad BAD BAD BAD terrible going from studying your child like a lab rat to betrothing her at the oldest 15 to someone half a decade older than her for social status?! Dude KILL YOURSELF for real. or your daughter'll kill you, just as well²

kayo- rahab: dont even get me started. Rahab misdirects kokutan, explictly because she wants the world not to end so she can laze around a little longer, but also because she thought kayo could use a child, someone to care for... kayo's mother is dead, her father is dead, her husband & child are dead and shes left with nothing and nobody. She has her mother's Nature, a mermaid who envies and loves... an ugly unkillable monster. and ofc to top it all off she kills with her mother both literally and figuratively lol. kagura cares for her in an abstract way that kinda really confuses me. Kagura is so chill about everything I think maybe nyoze might secretly be descended from her instead of noted malder anan octo

kayo-nagare: well he died in a plague and thats kinda sad I guess.³

gallerian-ma: see this is the one relationship that's super super interesting but literally only on ma's end because to gallerian shes just a lady who looks exactly like and has almost the same name as his mom, who also had sex with him. the cheating & the grooming is not really what im looking for here

gallerian-gandalf:???blank and nothing?? you get the feeling gallerian was parentified as a kid

nemesis-ma: ouughh. nemesis in that cabin hearing hansel and gretel say that at least theyre not All alone. deluding herself into thinking that her mother loved her and visited her... a far-away warm figure to look fondly back at becuase she had no warmth in her life none at all. left with nothing... killing her. being strangled by her. sobbing over her corpse.

nemesis-gallerian: me when my dad who is my boss forces me to shoot my boyfriend and also murdered my ragtag street gang for actions I and only I took

1: it intrigues me so bad that cherubim was allowed the venomania name. with how ilotte behaves otherwise you'd think he'd be given the name of the servant that nylpho had an affair with. a malformed, hated, scapegoat is still your child, still a member of the "venomanias". the labyrinth was built to house the minotaur... he was named for king minos...

2: I think margarita on the surface is the same as she is to Kaspar except less of the prince stuff. but obviously she envied and resented and hated him too. marx at the end of his life: holy shit im the reed warbler raising a cuckoo

3: lest we forget rahab also found him sexy enough to be extremely motivating⁴

If a post is using "woke" in any way that's disparaging or negative, or is saying "wokely" or any variation like that straight from the mouths of antiblack conservatives, don't reblog it. No, not even if the person claims they're "mocking" or "parodying" conservatives.

Just because someone else was antiblack firt doesn't mean you get a free pass to continue the antiblackness.

The word "progressie" literally exists if you're trying to criticize people for being fake allies. The word "Fake ally" also literally exists. So dose the word "performative", and so many others.

If you're feeling supremely audacious, you might even dare to call the person you're criticizing the exact kind of bigot of what kind of bigotry they're enacting!

Black people have been asking us all for years to stop appropriating AAVE and bastardizing their terms. Do your part!
