Perpetually Confused

"maladaptive coping needs to be respected and enabled at all costs" ass website

theres an as-yet uncategorized strain of thought on this website that seems to be like not just critical of but entirely against therapy and psychiatry, against any form of self-improvement whatsoever other than certain very specific forms of gender transition, against physical activity, and finally, against going outside.

I cannot produce the words to describe how deeply I am disgusted by the way a lot of people talk about being nonbinary as a temporary stepping stone to becoming "full-trans."

And if you come out as nonbinary after having previously identified as binary trans, they'll act as if you detransitioned in some way

u need to draw fatter arms it can't all go to the butt and thighs #SORRY

i’m not even that much of a pervert i can just find the eroticism in anything. doesn’t get me bricked up necessarily i just like to appreciate it.

I'm not even nearly as anti-LLM as most other leftists but part of approaching new technology is "hey let's think real critically about the application and scope of this so we can use it in ways that are worth it and don't cause mass scale societal damage" but the fact that it's being injected into fucking EVERYTHING makes any stance more cautious than "USE LLMS FOR EVERYTHING NOW AND FOREVER" so much more anti than the status quo that I don't even fucking want to add nuance

Like most of the problems people have with LLMs are the natural conclusion of decades of tech companies gaining monopolies, environmental regulations struggling to keep up with new technologies, and a growing semi-privatized surveillance state, as opposed to issues with LLMs themselves. There's a theoretical reality where LLMs are implemented in useful, responsible, and sustainable ways but that reality is so far removed from our current one that none of those points actually matters

Every once in a while, I wish the friendship meter from the Sims was real so that way when people tell me "I used Chat-GPT" they can visually see just how much respect I just lost for them in that moment.

One time an acquaintance told me she entered Snape's star chart into chatgpt and I could physically feel that meter dropping three separate times over the course of her sentence

I’m sorry, but the logic that a rapist “won’t stop” because you’ve warned other people about their behavior so it’s meaningless to warn other people is so stupid. I think potential victims actually have a right to know about predators in their community. Lack of accountability is not an argument against warnings, it’s actually an argument for them.

as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.

I am like so serious about trans woman / transfem nonbinary (I like both headcanons) Kurapika btw. Why are you dressing up as a woman multiple times even when that doesn't seem particularly necessary 🤨🏳️‍⚧️? I also think she just doesn't have the like... mental state to look into herself and decide she's transmasc before the story started so her being transfem makes more sense. She's busy with her Internal Darkness and Revenge Quest and all that. Eventually she'll heal and transition trust me

ALSO HXH DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MAJOR FEMALE CHARACTERS. I KNOW THE SUCCESSION WAR HAS BEEN DOING MORE WITH THAT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE THE WHOLE SERIES MORE EQUAL GENDER WISE? MAKING KURAPIKA TRANSITION. WE CAN FIX HXH WITH THIS ONE SIMPLE TWIST

Kurapika reenters the chapters and immediately starts lying for unknown mysterious reasons I'm so proud of her. I missed her
