Physogs or having fun with a very sexist, misogynist and racist game; not surprising at all from a game based on a “science” like physiognomy.

Physogs, the Novel Card Game (1940s) · Playing cards (eyes - nose - mouth) Physogs, a British game from the 1940s, is a popularized version of physiognomy, the art of judging human character from facial features. Based on sociologist Jacques Penry's How to Judge Character from the Face (1939), the game consists of fifty-six...

Fandom Problem #4023

Kinda getting tired of every weird/quirky character being headcanoned or retconned into having a mental illness/ be non-neurotypical. Like I get the need for representation but calling any character that doesn't fit in the very narrow view of "normal' autistic or bipolar seems ridiculous. Like, some people are just weird, that's it.

whenever I say I worked at a care home people always assume I mean an OLD PEOPLE'S care home and start talking about dementia, and even when I correct them and say no, it was adults of all ages with disabilities like cerebral palsy, some of them younger than me, people still don't listen and start talking about how hard it is "when you get to that age".

like people who live in 24/7 care for their entire adult lives exist!!!! residential care is NOT something that only comes into play at the end of your life. lack of awareness and funding is, in my opinion, partly why negative experiences of full time or respite residential care are so widespread.

ALSO when I successfully clarify that I worked with people of all ages, people start talking about how SAD it is when young people who have conditions like cerebral palsy can't move or talk or whatever. and I ALSO take issue with that. I think seeing disabled people's experiences as wholly "sad" or "what a shame" pre-emptively dictates what kind of life we expect disabled people to live. people in residential care CAN be happy, largely independent, or happy with their level of control where they are dependent on others. if we assume they can't, we won't even try to help them get there.

some people have high support needs at home and then go into residential care. some people spend their whole lives in residential care. some people won't need it at all with proper support and funding at home. people need support, not pity and people seeing their lives as lost causes.

We need to cool it with the "people have no media literacy" spiels for real. Surely you can tell people they are wrong in one instance without presuming it's representative of a larger problem with their behavior and reaction to media.

We all say stupid things some times, stop fundamentally attributing their behavior to a lack of intelligence and lumping them into categories.

It doesn't make you superior; it's actually pretty exhausting, lacks compassion, and demonstrates that you, yourself, are incapable of critical analysis without going to extremes.

Not stereotyping people includes men too

In a world where stereotyping people because of their colour/race/religion/gender is rightly found upon, the "all men" bullshit needs to end.

It is plain stereotyping, passing judgment on a whole section of society because of the category they were born in. If you would not judge someone by their sexuality, by their nationality, if you would not judge a woman just because she's a woman, you should not be against men just for being male.

And notice how when women comment that's it's not all men, and talk about their positive experiences with men, the radfems shoot them down with vengeance. Why? Because their challenging the spew that all "men are monsters" and pointing out that the world is not so black and white. Like every social category in the world, some people will be good and just and kind and some people will be cruel and hateful. But it has nothing to do with their social categories and everything to do with the individual and the choices in life they make.

Now, from my personal experience, I have experienced some bad ones. I've had the creepy guy sneaking into the girls shower at high school, the perves in the bar, the guy who broke all professional protocol to get my phone number and made me feel unsafe. There's a list. But I also know my step-father, who I trust with my life, the men in my extended family, my male friends, classmates, coworkers. I remember being 18 and traveling alone with my male supervisor to work on isolated sites in the hills and later going into the scrubland with four male colleagues, and they behaved with complete respect and professionalism, they treated me with complete equality, as a fellow colleague.

So no, I will never let the "all men" argument slide, because lumping the good people in the world in the same pot with the bad ones is always harmful. It fosters hate and division. We are supposed to be becoming an enlightened, rational, equal society.

Stereotypes, Identity Anxiety, and Self-Fulfillment

The theory of "stereotype threat" is {...} fear of "being judged and treated poorly in settings where a negative stereotype about one's group applies." As performance anxiety is triggered, the fear often manifests in stereotypes being borne out by reality. The research suggests that awareness of a negative stereotype about one's group can interfere with the performance of the members of that group whenever the stereotype is invoked. {...} Stereotype research warns that members of marginalized ability groups {...} are stymied by their own knowledge of how they're popularly perceived. The threat doesn't even have to be explicit. {...} The combination of familiarity with a stereotype and membership in a stigmatized group impairs performance. {...} One group of researchers hypothesizes that the effect of the stereotype is "to make sure that any sign that they might be confirming the stereotype is identified and suppressed. Ironically, this increased vigilance and control hijacks the same central executive processor (i.e., working memory) needed to excel on complex cognitive tasks, producing the very result —poorer performance— that they are trying to avoid." Stereotype threat research has been carried out over multiple domains, from academic to athletic to affective. The expectations laid out by stereotypes influence results. Research has also found that people engage in self-handicapping to reduce the applicability of a negative stereotype to their performance. That is, they will not try as hard —say by failing to practice a skill— in order to avoid hits to their self-esteem. When they fail, they can attribute their failure to lack of personal effort rather than natural inadequacy. {...} Writing about the potential undoing of stereotype threat, Toni Schmader has noted, "[T]hese differences can be reduced if not erased by changing the nature of these performance environments to encourage more positive views of one's group or one's own abilities, or through greater transparency of the pernicious effects that stereotyping can have. By deconstructing stereotype threat, we can diffuse the damage it can do." What Schmader means is that the power of stereotype threat lies in its invisibility. We can counter it in one of two (not unrelated) ways: by putting a stop to the ways in which we marginalize {groups}, or by shining a light on he fallacy of the stereotype.

Fandom Problem #4028

Being (rightfully) upset about bi people being stereotyped as promiscuous or more likely to cheat, and yet CERTAIN fans acting like a bi character being shown as being in a committed long-term relationship with one person is a "cop out" because they aren't actively getting with both genders. 'Cause it would be sooooo much better for representation if they dumped or cheated on their partner to meet your quota for acceptable bi representation.

I think that the aro community needs to stop stereotyping the entire ace community as a bunch of sex negative assholes. And stop using acephobic stereotypes as excuses to be hostile towards asexuals.

Given the predictable intersection of various conversations, I would like to say, just in general:

Being critical of widespread trends in fandom that replicate mainstream societal biases does not make you:

An anti

A gatekeeper

An asshole

Engaging with and enjoying "problematic" ships or kinky/dark fic as fantasy clearly unintended to intersect with reality does not make you:

A bad person

A pedophile

An enabler

These things are on two different scales. The first is about creating a fandom culture and environment that doesn't constantly direct microaggressions (at best) at marginalized fans and continue replicating stereotypes, saturating the dominant fandom culture and further entrenching existing biases.

The second is about recognizing that "problematic" ships and fics are equivalent to solo kink roleplay in your own head, using the characters as personas instead of acting it out with your partner(s) (and please recall that kink is not always sexual).

The first issue is addressed by listening to and elevating marginalized voices and being open to introspection and learning. It is in de-normalizing harmful stereotypes and trends that pervade real life within fandom spaces.

The second is addressed by clear and appropriate tagging, to ensure that such content consumption is consensual and curatable on an individual level (and the act of clear and appropriate tagging and labeling itself even calls the "problematic" elements what they are, the opposite of normalizing them).

The first is about overarching, dominant trends in fandom that constitute patterns that reveal how we at least subconsciously perceive people and characters.

The second is about how on an individual level, fic and shipping are tools for the brain to process any number of concepts and experiences, for non-straightforward reasons.

An inclusive space is (or should be) a kink-positive space, and vice-versa. And both of these are antithetical to purity culture.

As someone who didn't know they were high Te for a long time, what common claims have you learned are myths/bullshit about TJs? And has something about you finally made sense after learning you use Te?

The biggest bullshit claim is how Te is associated with being an emotionless robot. If there is one thing I have learned about Te is that it cares a lot. And cannot hide where it stands and how the person feel about an issue. It's transparent, crystal clear and particularly vocal about anything it has an opinion about, which is many things usually. However, if they don't care about an issue or are indifferent, they can be cold hearted about it, since Te still deserves its reputation for being tactless and bold in how it expresses its points.

I wouldn't say that it made "more sense" when I got typed as NiTe instead of "NiFe" (/INFJ). It actually helped me sort out better the cognitive functions and redefine with better clarity. What made more sense is the concept of "development" levels, or integrated functions, that helped me seize myself better and enlarged my general comprehension of cognitive functioning. INTJ was my initial typing when I started delving into typology years ago, so I already had a mental conception of how functions were supposed to work within me. It switched back rapidly to that previous comprehension, with some adjustments.

For me, it was knowing I had Fi "integrated" in my consciousness that helped me understand a lot about myself, and it clarified why the INFJ label gave more justice to that aspect of myself than the INTJ one could. I don't want to go on for too long about this tho. I only wanted to highlight what really helped me to make more sense of myself. This notion could deserve a whole post of its own because of how fascinating it is, and well, complex in its own fashion.

In the end, I'd say xxTJs (specifically ExTJs) deserve their reputation for being real careless bulldozers sometimes, but their reputation for being robots is hilariously wrong. They really are the opposite of robots, even tho as I mentioned, when they don't give a fuck, they really don't and can be cruel, but they do care about lot of stuff and will get reactive and emotional for sure about those. Just learn to know what they care about and you'll get a fiery passionate inflamed essay that you really didn't ask for about it lol.

I would simply mention that SiTe and NiTe that don't have Te integrated are closer to being emotionless robot tbh, since Te is very passionate in itself. If it's not integrated nor much valued, it makes those types much more carefree or absorbed than a typical ISTJ/INTJ type is expected to be.

Anyway, I won't derail furthermore. That's what I could think of, if there is a stereotype you have in mind and wonder how much bs it is, you can ask. Rn, that's the only things that came to my mind while thinking about it. So, I hope it could answer your question. If you have any other question or want to share how typing as high Te changed your perspective, you're welcome to do so x).
