“touch of the ‘tism” = punishable offense

when youre trying to fuck her doggystyle but her big ass tail keeps fucking whacking you in the face as she wags

the most common way i see people on the left frame women not shaving is that women who don’t shave think they’re better than everyone else and need to be put in their place. this framing is so powerful i’m actually a little afraid to talk about it because i KNOW some people will read this and think i think i’m better than everyone else. but like we gotta know this isn’t actually progressive.

It’s really telling that being able to push through constant negative societal and personal feedback in order to allow your body to just Exist is seen as “thinking you’re better than everyone else”. Shame is so fundamental to womanhood that being able to shake off even just some of it is perceived as arrogance. (When it is not possible to write it off as slovenliness anyway; if they can dismiss you as a less-than-woman or not-woman then they don’t bother labeling you arrogant! If they’re ~progressive~ they have to find another reason to express disgust, e.g. by linking it to character.)

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those

kind of obsessed w the idea that manual labor makes you fit and athletic. bro these people have chronic back pain and repetitive motion injuries

Imagining a beautiful world where white people understood the concept of cultural appropriation as in misappropriation, misuse of cultural practices, doing things Wrong out of their original context simply for your own gain whether it's financial/spiritual/aesthetic whatever. Rather than thinking it's about, like. Copyright infringement

Like the majority of poc will have no issue with actually respectfully engaging with their Things, a lot of the time you'll literally be invited if you're chill! People like sharing! But white people only know stealing, anti miscegenation, and lying

It's really and truly not a matter of "you're not allowed to do xyz if you're white" we just keep having to reduce it to that so they'll listen. That's babytalk. It's like telling a kid it's illegal to have the light on in the car. But then they repeat the oversimplification and start scolding other white people for, like, being in interracial relationships and participating in their partner's culture ??? Which is transparently weird if you think about it for 2 seconds

like I think it is good and important to be able to criticise porn and erotica for the relationship to the political environment/context of creation etc, but I think that’s not too different from criticising any other art on these grounds. how is the erotica speaking to conventions of the genre? what is the author trying to tell you in what they hold up as attractive? what might the author be saying that they’re not necessarily aware that they’re saying? how does the narrative relate to other dominant cultural narratives? these are all valuable questions to ask and can be answered in nuanced ways that do not involve kink-shaming & do not involve calling people degenerate perverts. yknow.

something I read the other day had a storyline that involved a woman being kidnapped by foreign “disgusting perverts” (<- not supposed to be sexy) so that she could then be rescued by an army general (<- sexy) who had to fuck her as part of the rescue. now it’s no bother to me if someone else gets their rocks off to that, power to them. that said, we can criticise the framing of Woman Ending Up In Sex Trafficking Requires An Army Man To Fuck Her To Safety in the same way we would criticise similar framing in non-erotic contexts. how is this serving the image of the benevolent military? how is it feeding into the white woman’s fear of the other? what is being held up as ‘perverted’ in its juxtaposition to ‘sexy’? etc etc. this was bad erotica but it was also pro-military propaganda and that does mean something

the thing is is that you'll be like. 11 years old and someone will tell you that you have to shave your legs. either it will be your mum or a friend or a mean girl in the p.e. changing rooms telling you how gross it is that you have hair on your legs. so then you ask your mum about it and she says yep you have to take this razor blade and drag it across your skin under running water and just hope you don't cut yourself too badly and you have to do this every single week and maybe more frequently than that and you have to do that for fucking ever. the rest of your fucking life. because the hair that grows naturally on your legs is gross and ugly and people will laugh and boys won't like you! of course boys have hair on THEIR legs. but that's normal and even attractive and it's just not the same for you. and a few years later they'll say well you obviously should also be shaving your armpits. and then it's your arms and then it's that you have to wax your upper lip and pluck your eyebrows and ewww why do you have hair on your fingers and your toes.. you need to shave that too. and then suddenly you need to buy spray that will make invisible hairs on your face visible so that you can shave that too! and it's expensive and time consuming and difficult and it HURTS but they just say beauty is pain babe! and you're not allowed to say that maybe if beauty is pain then you don't actually want to be beautiful

and i'm so fucking tired of girls who do shave being defensive when this topic comes up because then i have to say well of COURSE it's your personal choice whether you want to shave or not! no offense! maybe it makes you feel empowered! you do it for YOURSELF! because that's bullshit and i actually DO think you should stop shaving your legs because it's not fucking empowering it's insane. if you give it more than a minute of thought it can't possibly be empowering. you're in a PRISON!!!!! and i was in the prison too okay and i know it seems hard to break out but i promise you it's not. and the more people we can break out of the prison the easier it gets for everyone else i swear to god. please
