i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

and this isnt a "japan bad lol" thing theres so many characters out there who are functionally treated as adults but designated to be in their late teens. i think the oldest (official) disney princess is like. 21. its a feature of how society at large treats 16-25 as the only viable window of attractiveness yknow. the dicaprio problem. its everywhere once you look for it unfortunately and even characters i love are not exempt from reflecting the bias.

there's no point in arguing with trans men about their gender politics for the same reason that there's no point in arguing with cis men about feminism, or a member of the bourgeoisie about communism. they don't hold their beliefs because they haven't been convinced, they hold them because it benefits their class interests. come on.

why would somebody whose gender project has been to enlist in the class of man and maintain the integrity of the male class category be at all invested in the liberation of women? it's opposite to the entire project. it doesn't make sense. when you view them as people who should "know better" by merit of being trans or whatever you forget the very basic thing: they chose to be men, which is a class defined by its relationship with gender power. there is no such thing as becoming a man without a tacit or explicit endorsement and self-enlistment in patriarchy.

"what do we do then" you abolish gender-class

findom is so fucking hot in concept but in this economy? untenable

you could tell the sub to rob a bank

be a good girl and put on this clown mask for mommy and don't forget to watch out for the bus driver

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

media literacy includes understanding why a media product was made, to whom it's being sold, and the assumed preferences of its marketing demographic. narrative is not produced or sold in a vacuum.

refers to my alter as a tulpa for post clout the same way trans girls gotta call themselves femboys for sex work

really bad post

sorry

I'm sure all my settings are set to "yes show me mature content no don't filter anything" what are you TALKING ABOUT

the posts are ON THE WEBSITE. I can't search dirty words?? am I five??? is this club penguin??? when I get you

just so you know, if you completely ignore the search feature on the website and just type "tumblr.com/search/term" into the address bar, it bypasses all of this. broken-ass website

why do police officers even try to make thirst content in their cars on social media like your ex girlfriend's body is probably in the trunk
