the thing about proshits and ao3 supporters is that they're proud of writing and enjoying extremely graphic content. they know they're not innocent, and they wrongly associate that form of expression with the lgbtq+ community, which is indeed censored and deemed "dirty" and "inappropriate" by conservatives.

but those are entirely different things. proshits, as well as r/adqueers, are incredibly racist and ableist, often appropriating black ppl's suffering for their fanworks, and invalidating ppl's trauma overall. they're also extremely hostile to children and teenagers, despite the fact they're often depicting graphic content in KIDS fandoms. proshits are smartasses about it, they purposefully want to shock and traumatize others, yet labeling children, teens, black ppl, mentally ill ppl (especially those who struggle telling what's real and what isn't) etc. "puritans" or "fandom police".

and in the end both proshits and r/adqueers reinforce the wrong belief that lgbtq+ ppl are pedophiles or into pedophilia (as well as incest). which is what conservatives think of the lgbtq+ community, and what we're trying to deconstruct. but proshits and r/adqueers are definitely not helping.

Me: Bro, ao3 has a bunch of racism can cannot be easily escaped from and the fact that they kicked out someone for trying to get rid of it doesn't help.

tumblr staff would rather persecute trans women and transfems in their platform than doing something about the literal scammers, nazis, pedos etc. that are still out there

#lotus.txt #i've been getting so many scam asks in my main blog #like HOW #AND HOW COME TUMBLR DOESN'T TAKE THEM DOWN #oh yeah they don't care about palestine (bc those scammers pretend to be palestinian) #and tumblr is just way too transphobic to give a shit

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

Why are y'all still using the word 'Middle East'. We've had this conversation already.

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

censorship is when people of color and children want to be safe online apparently

Went into the tag of my fave Fandom. First fic was an au where the author took two completely unrelated characters of similar age and made them father and son purely so they could write incestuous smut. Went back out. Why are people like this

I usually see the opposite (where the author makes the characters not related so they're shipped) but unfortunately yeah, I've seen stuff like you described. Some people just want to be "edgy" and write sexy "taboo" shit.

#asks #incest tw #pedophilia tw #like a lot of those authors know they're not innocent. they write that stuff precisely bc they want to disgust 'puritans'

[anti-ao3]

mfers will say "im against book banning in schools and libraries!" and then turn around and say ao3 needs to be censored

#ppl think that being quirky and weird is being manic #but if they actually saw someone in a manic episode they would demonize them #lotus.txt #ableism tw

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

Happy Earth Day: celebrate by getting clean water in to Gaza!

(via unrwa): “Gaza: access to water is extremely limited and sanitary structures are insufficient to meet people's needs. Gaza's water supply remains at only 7 per cent of its pre-October 2023 levels.”

Gaza has been in a water crisis for months now, there is virtually no clean/drinkable/accessible water due to Israel’s occupation and siege.

With the summer months approaching, the temperatures in Gaza are rising (it will be nearly 40 celsius there this week) and the lack of viable water is going to continue to cause extreme destruction.

Here are some orgs to donate to that are getting water into Gaza/working on making water in Gaza accessible:

Happy Earth Day 🤍🌍 choose to be kind

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.

do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.

write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.

do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.

boycott ALL of eurovision.
