I think it is foolish to assume that it's possible to "get rid of oppression" without coming into direct conflict with religious interests. Most e.g. homophobia (at the legislative moreso than the interpersonal level, but still significant there too) is coming directly from people who thinks there is a magic sky dad who says it's evil to be gay. Christian fundies are not bigoted shitbags as a way of coping with misery, they believe that certain types of misery (that aren't necessarily happening to them) are actively good. They act like gay rights are oppression against them because gay rights do undermine the evangelical social project.

At a certain point, "yes, your culture is awful, and to make the world a better place we must strip it of all influence and halt the practice of all but the shallowest trappings because it's a self-perpetuating abuse engine if left unchecked" is a bullet you sometimes need to bite. Not every culture or subculture is a self-perpetuating abuse engine, of course, and you have to be a lot more judicious when you're actually bringing the hammer down on people because random irrational haters will try to paint innocents as guilty. But it's stupid to pretend that if abuse is happening at the "layer" of religion or culture it's suddenly okay because it's not strictly speaking being done by an institution or individual.

I also think that responding to "i think people will leave religions voluntarily, given the option and if the world is a less cruel place" with "how dare you want to destroy my religion" is sort of tipping your hand that you either want to hard-prevent people from leaving your religion, or don't want the world to be a less cruel place, either of which would, if accurate about your religion, be pretty good evidence that it's a self-perpetuating abuse engine.

You might say that's ridiculous, every religion ever would want to prevent apostasy even at the cost of members' wellbeing, in which case congratulations on making the case for the inherent abusiveness of religion.

PJ was given the opportunity to produce original middle EArth content and it was. so fucking basement tier do you understand. like PLEASE there are things to enjoy about the hobbit films but,,, uhhhh ,,, most of the original concepts and characters are nOTTTT on that list. literally the laketowners make waldreg look like theeeee most complex evil henchman in the world,,, like there is nAKED homophobia in the script, the fact that there are STILL people out here thinking its a reasonable position to say "only JACKSOn understood the true, progressive, queer (?!?!?!?!) spirit of tolkien's work" IM SORRY BUT YOU ARE SO FUCKInG STUPID if Jackson had been tapped to make a second age story it would have absolutely abysmal it would have been an unmitigated disaster it would have made me weep blood

progressives will really be like “oh yeah we’re not antisemitic unlike those evil money grubbing capitalists controlling the government and all those academics that spit on the common man and tell lies from their ivory towers. also if you point out antisemitism on the left I’m gonna assume you are mad that someone said israel was bad because obviously if you’re Jewish you support israel. Also what else could you be talking about? I haven’t personally seen any antisemitism on the left so obviously it doesn’t exist, and if someone did say something antisemitic it’s bc they’re actually a sock puppet and not a real leftist. Also you used the word goy so nothing you say is valid btw”

#posts I will regret making #anyway I’m mad #torn between wanting people to see this and the inevitable harassment I will get if it is seen #to make rebloggable or not make rebloggable #hm #gonna say nah and if you’re brave you can screenshot this and crop my url #antisemitism tw

I love being told to calm my tits. Like, babe, they’re barely there, that’s as calm as it’s gonna get. They’re Kansas. My chest is as smooth and unbroken the brain of a GOP senator. There is nothing to calm.

Okay so I've actually decided to bite the bullet and start reading Homestuck

I'm 300 or so pages in, still wondering where the trolls, the complicated lore and other weird obsucre supposed references are going to show up

But so far, I'm actually liking this. It's kind of funny.

y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

#everyone shut the fuck up about your sex lives on this post i don't want to read your TMI #sincerely: a sex-repulsed ace who regrets making this post
