Noping around

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."

@noah-moth-cursed-chaos Arwennar except they refuse to articulate it to themself

a friend with a boyfriend is a type of dead wife

There's a somewhat-unstated division in social progressive circles that goes "being socially inept for autism reasons is fine, but being socially inept for regular reasons is bad and mockable." And then in practice everyone assumes it's for regular reasons when it comes up

Gods help you is you have a personality or schizospec disorders. You’re no longer “quirky” socially inept you’re a child up until they want to persecute you

computa make my mutuals have a great day

Hey, look at me. The overwhelming majority of people who hold some degree of "anti-bra" sentiment are not anti you wearing a bra of your own volition because you find the support helpful or even anti you wearing them just because you like them, what "anti-bra" people are actually upset with is the socially and in some cases even legally-enforced pressure to wear a bra if you have female presenting breasts. What they want is for it to be okay to walk out in public and have their nipples poking through their shirt without being seen as obscene or inherently sexual or subjected to harassment over it. What they want is for it to be okay for breasts to sag without it being seen as being sloppy or not taking care of yourself or "gross". "It's okay to wear bras!" is giving "it's okay to wear dresses!" or "it's okay to be a girl with long hair!" not because bras are inherently connected to beauty standards (although they certainly can be), but because it's frankly such a nothing statement encouraging what is already an extremely well established societal norm and you aren't subverting or challenging fuckall by saying it. I still remember about a decade ago hearing that a girl at another highschool in my province had been sent home for not wearing a bra on the basis that she "was distracting to the male students". I still remember people calling me disgusting behind my back in highschool for not wearing one (who I would later shut up with a free the nipple speech during a public speaking competition but I digress), and I still remember how much I had to fight with both of my parents as a child in order to secure my right to not wear one. If you don't believe there's any pressure on people with female-presenting breasts to wear bras, you probably haven't tried not wearing one out in public. Anyways fuck the post that pissed me off this morning and free the god damn nipple, wear what makes you most comfortable, but remember what is counter-culture and what is you taking it personally because someone else finds freedom in not wearing a garment they've been told they had to wear since they were 12. That's all folks.

there is something deeply unsettling about the fact that women are only allowed to go shirtless if they surgically remove their breast tissue
