The anti-end stance is one that includes the refusal to acknowledge or accept the personal experience of fellow human beings. It can be inherently dehumanizing, and it absolutely treats some people and their lived experiences as lesser than others because of how they present and understand themselves.

In comparison, the pro-endo stance is basically an "I believe my fellow beings" stance that's largely neutral in its position.

These two things are not the same, and it really bothers me when they're treated like they are just two sides of the same coin.

And yeah, some people choose to call themselves anti-endo for reasons that are not tied to their beliefs about endogenic systems. It's possible to accept that systems with different origin labels are having real experiences and not want to interact with them even then. I get that.

But plenty of folks on Tumblr use the tag and label to describe the underlying belief that systems not directly tied to severe trauma are either faking their experience, lying to themselves, or in some way misinformed about themselves. And the common terminology in other spaces absolutely ties anti-endos with these beliefs.

anyhow have Cyrixia's new fullbody ref, I gotta finalise some more stuff before her full AF ref is ready

Originally a Ranger of Silvermoon, Nixxie died the first time in Arthas's attack on her people, being raised as a Banshee with her sisters in their last stand near Fairbreeze; one of the original Dark Rangers of the Forsaken, she was a devoted follower of the Banshee-Queen and a skilled soldier and assassin--ultimately driven by duty and loyalty, when she died for the second time as a result of the Fall of Dalaran over Dornogal, she first found herself in Revendreth for her crimes, but later in Bastion, where she became a Kyrian Watcher-of-Souls, able to provide comfort and companionship in the final moments of the dead in a way she never had.

Which is extremely sweet and a good high note for her arc I feel. She's in a really good place, and her devotion is now being applied to helping others, instead of just her superiors in the Forsaken. She has a task, and a way to help people through that task.

...but that doesn't stop her from being very horny in her free time. Have you ever done it in mid-air with a ten foot tall buff blue woman with wings? She has.
