#Bigotry mention

[brettdoesdiscourse]

When talking about important social issues, be mindful of what language you use and if you're subconsciously being bigoted.

I see a lot of cases where someone brings up an important social point and then attributes it to a specific country that has a lot of stereotypes around it when another country they consider more "civilized" does the same thing.

For example, someone might post,

"It's horrible that child marriage is still legal in Africa."

It raises a good point, child marriage being legal is horrible, but it adds to bigotry by specifying a certain place when it:

1) Does not need to

2) Is not the only place it occurs.

Child marriage is legal in a lot of places, including the USA.

A social problem is an issue everywhere it's prevalent at.

the transhumanism tag is wild cause you can see the most based take about improving the human condition and a great shitpost about wanting a robot cock (truuuuu tho) followed by a 1000 word unhinged screed about how jewish aliens are beaming waves into people's heads to make them transgender and want to erase their sex spirit with technology or some shit that was too long for me to read. TERFs, luddism, and new age are a wacky-ass combo

I think the reason Zionists say "there's no such thing as an Arab Jew, once you are a Jew you are no longer Arab" besides general culture erasure is that it makes it easier to excuse racism and islamophobia around them. It's not even a you are one of the good Arabs situation, it's an I'm not being racist against YOU, you're no longer one of them.

*bigots, putting on a facade, telling the general public what they want:* We just want women and children to be safe and not be influenced by this 'harmful' ideology. 🥺

*bigots, facade off, telling queer people directly what they really want:* It's simple, we just want you to ...

Look, can we just all agree this is what they want and stop pretending this has anything to do with women and childrens safety? This is what they mean. They send death threats to queer people, attack our social media accounts, and make our lives unsafe, and it's entirely unprovoked. They want us dead. Adults and children alike. And they know they can't advocate for a queer child to be killed, so they focus on the adults directly, and then go after schools hoping the student body will be made so inhospitable the problem will take care of itself. Ie. via murder or suicide. We literally have statistics that prove this and evidence that a more accepting school life reduces the risk. They don't even deny the statistics and evidence because they agree they're right. They -want- it that way. That's their goal.

I'm just done dancing around this. It's not even like they're hiding it. Just rewording it so it's easier to swallow.

Me: I want to go on T!

Me: What if it manifests in a way that means I can’t be the twink boy I want to be and I can’t reverse it? What if my voice gets too deep and I lose my ability to do all those really good voice impressions? What if I grow a beard and my parents don’t let me get a razor specifically for my beard because it’s more efficient to use the same one that I’ve used for my armpits and nether regions even though I think that’d be really gross and it would trigger my OCD (which I can’t remember for sure if I have or if it’s just part of my autism)?

Me: What if my desire to “be a femboy” means that I’m being bigoted toward other trans men? What if I’m like “omg I want these cute programming socks” and I’m being bigoted because “that’s a trans girl thing?” What if the fact that I view my ideal body as “looking like a flat-chested trans girl” means that I’m being bigoted?

Me: What if I can’t bring myself to go on the diet my mom said I need so I can lose weight for a safe breast reduction?

Me: …What if it turns out I was correct when I thought for 3+ years that I was genderfluid and not just a trans boy and I change my mind after I DO get top surgery?

TrueSwapTale

So uh, finished writing and putting together an idea for an AU and wanted to share-

Long ago, two races ruled over Earth.

HUMANS, and MONSTERS.

One day, the humans filled with fear over the monster’s possible powers, a war between the two races was started .

In the end, the king of monsters was able to absorb 7 human souls and defeat the human King.

The monsters, made of love and compassion, wished to put it all in the past, and live in peace with humans once more.

The king, filled with nothing but hatred, bigotry and paranoia, refused their offer and forced what remained of his people into the underground caverns of Mt. Ebott, sealing it with a spell so no monster could ever enter. 

Now a complete monarch, he turned the underground into a place filled with hate, torture, rape, slavery, and no hope. The rich took advantage of the poor, and orphans were no more than things to use, abuse, and slaughter.

Several decades after the war, a small human child had managed to escape. The human, injured by their time in the underground, laid by Mt. Ebott, weak and sure they were to die.

But they got lucky.

Prince Asriel had gotten curious and decided to explore the mountain, managing to find them. He helped the human back to his home, where they were healed and spared from their pain. The king and queen adopted them as their own child, and the human was finally happy.

One day, the human and Asriel returned to the mountain, searching for buttercup flowers that grew about for their mother’s birthday. They were attacked by guardsmen who had been searching for the human, who all but slaughtered her.

In the human’s dying breath, they begged Asriel to absorb their soul.

Asriel did so… but not for the reason the human wished for.

They did it so they could grab their sibling’s body and run, they wished not to attack or hurt anyone.

They managed to grab their body and run off the mountain, but not without being mortally wounded. Covered in injuries. The prince didn’t make it far before he collapsed, clutching his best friend’s body as his dust spread upon the flower’s around.

The King and Queen were filled with grief, and ordered every monster to not go anywhere near the mountain.

The journey to reach the surface was hard and treacherous, but the journey to than climb down the mountain and pass the thick jungle to a monster was usually too much, for the children who were often starved, wounded and weak.

A little girl, about 5 managed to make it out of the barrier, then immediately collapsed and was too weak to continue, leaving behind her toy knife and blue ribbon.

A boy about 12 made it out in better shape, ready to fair the jungles.

… was unfortunate enough to be caught in a freak snowstorm, burying him alive his boxing glove and bandana becoming trapped in the hard rock on the descent down. 

An 11 year old girl was quick and nimble enough to slowly make her way down the mountain, but unfortunately had her leg shatter from a sudden nasty fall, and was left to starve. Her broken ballet shoe and tutu left as reminder’s at what she didn’t get to achieve.

A ten year old sweet girl, though badly wounded was able to slowly and carefully make her way fully down.

The jungle, thick and hard to navigate, made her lost often. Starving, she didn’t realize that the berries here could be poisonous. She died in less than an hour, her pan and apron a reminder of the meals she never got to make.

The second oldest, a 14 year old was tactical, making their way down the mountain and able to make their way through the jungle.

… they were about a day away from safety when they met a hungry tiger, who simply tore them apart. Their cloudy glasses and notebook stained with blood tell their story, and how they got lucky.. right until the end.

The 6th human, a 16 year old boy, was the only one who made it

… but right as he came to the end of the jungle, a snake bit him, and poison was too strong for even him to fight. The monsters tried to save him… but they got to him too late

Even so, at least he was treated with the upmost care in his final days.

The humans all lost hope of trying to escape, simply accepting their fate for thousands of years

…. Until an 8 year old with a striped shirt, attempted to escape with their 6 year old cousin.

They managed to escape, but the younger one was captured… and they were the only human who had quite a powerful tool at their disposal.

Determination, they were determined to find the monsters, ask for their help in saving their cousin, and end the tyranny that was the underground.

Well… the determination might not be the only help someone so young has to be able to survive the horrific journey.

~~~~~~~~

AN- This is the main story for this AU! I came up with this a LONG time ago, and decided it was about time to fully develop it! I’ll definitely be drawing character sheets later on- hope you all enjoyed!

~Why I'm no longer a Harry Potter Fan~

I've had these views for a while, and I should let you guys know why I'm no longer a Harry Potter Fan. Along with the reasons as to why I no longer support these books. I'm just typing this up to make everything official. Also it'll be a long post, so I'm putting it under the cut.

~The author is a toxic bigot~

This is self-explanatory, there have been multiple occasions where she has said something incredibly toxic and bigoted. I personally can't stand bigots in any capacity.

~The books are extremely problematic~

This one is self-explanatory as well, and I didn't realize how bad it was until I got older. Plenty of peeps on here and elsewhere can explain this better than I ever can.

~Supporting Harry Potter would support the author~

I don't feel comfortable supporting Harry Potter in any capacity. As it would be supporting the author and her bigotry. The last Harry Potter thing that I vividly remember buying was a used copy of The Cursed Child, and the only reason why I bought it was because I stumbled across it in a local thrift shop. That, and it was dirt cheap. But that's beside the point.

~Current thoughts on Harry Potter as a whole~

I'm still a little fond of it because it was a significant part of my childhood. But I don't feel comfortable going back to it, mostly for the reasons I listed above. That being said, its place in my heart has been replaced by other things. Namely Undertale and Deltarune, Miraculous Ladybug, Billie Bust-up, etc.

--so is everyone already on board with the fact that Quincey is also an Outsider to European Culture in a Very Narratively Significant Way, or do I need to make a post on how Americans in general and Texans / Westerners in particular were often seen in Europe as provincial/primitive/ “savage” in the 19C in a lot of ways by a lot of people, with the important complicating caveat that US culture clearly descended from “western” European and especially English culture so the US was also “civilized” , and how Stoker in particular shows a fascination with this concept of “Western” Americans in several of his stories, so part of what’s going on with Dracula and Quincey is Stoker putting an Old , Scary, Foreign Primitive Worldview against a  NEW Scary, Foreign, Primitive, but friendly and sympathetic to Western Europeans,  Worldview, in an absolute disastermash of 19C Western European bigotry and colonialist cultural assumptions? because it’s very relevant to the general Everything about Quincey

🎈 How does your muse relate to gender dynamics in their world? Is it different from IRL? (Felix ofc)

Well, this question falls under optional lore since pokemon is a huge fandom; there are followers I have who write escapism and followers who write dark topics.

But there is lore. Basically, world-building wise, bigotry and gender dynamics stem from the 'Alpha Wolves' cult/ideology, spreading historically from Galar the way it would have IRL, minus the guns; instead they weaponized dogs.

Pokemon seems like a place that is ahead of reality in progressiveness, but only by a little- a consequence of probably many things, such as easier travel, the weapons being living creatures, and a culture of love- ask many IRL an adult and many deem life just being unfair, independent- I don't see that streak in this world; aka i don't see bullies getting far/too violent without a team to back them up.

Anyways, Felix is in conflict about gender dynamics as a trans gay man born in the 90s. There's thought patterns, internalized toxicity, that bubbles up and causes him to take caution- I'm leery of strangers IRL that are 'too' nice to me because they might be about to misgender me. I don't wear makeup IRL because i don't pass as male 'enough' and am not comfortable yet. Because he's very small and 'cute' and such, he's not confident that other men will have genuine sexual interest for him- masc4masc gay culture at work, the want to appear more 'adult' and/or earn love. passing as a 'little boy' is both a trans and dwarfism thing;; and just trying to be gender euphoric without being misogynist/transphobic himself.

and, for the sake of my comfort and world building, his transition was fairly quick- i don't really wish to RP 'in-between' states, such as the wait for top surgery, bottom growth, voice dropping, etc.- I've had to drop contact with somebody over clearly preferring him pre-transition, and while i do still relate hard to the nonbinary agenda™️ mid-transition, I'm working on it. I'm not rlly comfortable with they/them due to terfs but i try to be kind/understanding. like, i still have boobs irl and i hate it. i don't trust nsfw themed blogs because the possibility for chaser behaviour ooc is high. consider a lot of that kind of stuff happening offscreen/off the radar. He just sort of reappeared in Alola under a new name and gender- only real exceptions being ORAS and Magikarp Jump with they/them pronouns. But, he's been blessed with very dramatic changes, when some trans guys get Nothing for any one change.

Ideally, he's so comfortable in his masculinity that he likes to be fruity sometimes- but he's still for the time being a bit shy about it, especially compared to my other, more traditionally masculine muses. He's a baby gay growing into his masculinity(/femme queerness), but is recognized as male by society. He's not used to the top energy side of himself; he grew up wanted as a 'bottom'.

IRL wise....i get hit by dysphoria here and there, especially with faceclaims. there's a fine balance between my personal style, looking as young as i do IRL, looking old 'enough'.....and y'know the work involved in finding or drawing shit and fkdgjkd. As well as enough expressions to work with- that's top priority.

facial hair's working wonders for my gender presentation, but I'm waiting for more. I'm waiting for surgery. I'm waiting to be 'There' tbh. my mixed passing is leaning into male.

"not all" sure but if the majority are bigots, that's still bad. can we stop making excuses for bigotry?

Hi anon

I don’t really disagree with you about how we shouldn’t make excuses for bigotry but like...

what’s this about? because I have absolutely no context for this ask whatsoever, I just found the start of a response (the first sentence) in my drafts folder and  just... ????

Oooooohhhhhh my fucking god some people in this YouTube comment section I’m looking through are really pissing me off. Sorry to get violent but I wanna punch these people in their faces. “Oh no these people are reasonably criticizing a piece of media, y’all hate this series” what????? Aight so the second someone critiques a piece of media they like, they suddenly hate it now? The person in the video specifically said that they’re not saying you should hate everything about the media but it’s good to pick out the flaws in it. They even bring up like “it’s an hour and a half long, of course this person hates this series” when all that really means is that the vid is packed with evidence and also the person who made this vid, all their vids are about this series and not all of them are negative so like. These dumbasses don’t know that things aren’t that fucking black and white. “Y’all say everything is bigoted these days I could breathe and y’all would say it’s offensive to people with asthma” you’re clearly telling me that you’re a bigot by saying that, literally anyone who says shit like this and over exaggerates people pointing out bigotry, especially to combat reasonable arguments about certain flaws in media, just tells me how disgusting they are as a person, and hate it or not buddy but you’re bigoted for that (they’re comparing someone rightfully critiquing the sexism in a series to this over exaggerated dumbass “breathing is offensive” bullshit that no one says, stop making up people to hate as an excuse to hate those who are actually doing good and pointing out shitty stuff). “I won’t call a female he/him unless she’s a trans guy” Ok ignoring that you completely contradicted your own statement there, you’re being blatantly transphobic, saying trans men are just women who “identify” as men, same going for trans women being men who “identify” as women (yes they put identify in quotes like that in their comment) and also saying that he/him are strictly male pronouns and she/her are strictly female pronouns. “But the authors can’t be sexist to women, they’re all women” Yeah, internalized misogyny is a real thing, dumbass. I wish when you block someone on YouTube, you wouldn’t be able to see their comments at all but nah I keep seeing these annoying fucks. My blood is boiling and I want to smash their heads into a wall. Luckily the majority of the comments are good, I just hate stumbling onto someone I’ve already blocked before, being like “god you’re annoying” and then see I that I’ve already blocked them. Hm

[decolonize-the-left]

Ive seen an influx in posts asking the LGBT community to hold itself accountable for ace/aro bigotry and they're fucking right.

How are we supposed to hold homophobes and transphobes accountable and demand they do better when we won't even do that for each other?

We're a community right? A family who's supposed to look out for each other? What happened to everyone being valid? Is a sibling saying "you hurt me, please correct it somehow" not valid?

For my part I'll admit I was part of this.

I was on the side of the asexual exclus back in the late 00's/early 10's. I was deep in the belief that oppression had to be systematic in order to count and at the time I didn't see any systematic oppression faced by aces. I even identified as ace and I didn't consider myself oppressed for being asexual. I saw the hostility and vitriol directed at aces everyday...but I didn't see it as wrong. I didn't see it as bigotry. I saw it as righteous anger.

I know how awful things were because I was one of the people making them that way. There is Real trauma that was experienced. There's no fucking way that a normal person could be invalidated that much and take the vitriolic bigotry aces/aros did everyday and have it not leave a lasting impact.

I fucked up. That was wrong and awful of me and I'm genuinely so fucking sorry.

I see the broken trust and promises between us now in 2023 and I see how shattered the community is and it's partly my fault. That gap is there because of me and people like me.

We should have loved and supported and welcomed you. We should have saw the way you were being treated and said something. You deserved to be protected and loved and supported from people who treated you that way.

And you weren't. We didn't. And it was normalized.

We absolutely fucking failed you as a community and as human beings. I need to own that. And I need to be one of the first people to trying to repair that.

And I know an apology is barely even a first step and I know it's just a drop in a giant bucket but I am sorry. For everything it's worth to you, I'm sorry.

Because of me and people like me you experienced the kind of identity trauma that typically only homophobes are capable of. And you experienced it at the hands of the community that's supposed to be fighting specifically that sort of ignorance against a-typical sexualities.

We fucked up

And it'd just be hypocritical salt in the wound if 10+ years later we ignored your asks for accountability and didn't do anything about it when it's resurfacing.

So yeah.

I was a bigot. I hurt people. I hurt my own community. I thought I was right and I wasn't. I was wrong. And so is everyone who insists on continuing that today.

There is no excuse or justification for it. I thought there was too but I was wrong and I'm gonna spend the rest of my life making up for it.

Whatever justification you find for treating people with a-typical sexualities and genders is shit. It has no leg to stand on and it sure as hell isn't being done for the sake of the community.

The LGBT community was founded not by people with checklists on how to be a Good Gay or Acceptable trans woman but by people being treated like shit for who they were choosing to love or not love. It was founded by people who's gender didn't fit in cishet boxes. It was founded by people who just wanted to be free to exist as themselves.

You can't treat asexuals or aros or bisexuals or pansexuals like shit and say that it's in the name of the LGBT community.

It's not.

It spits in the face of everything our community is supposed to be and it's time someone besides aces and aros said it.

None of us should be okay with how they're treated and all of us should be part of stopping it

the terror a novel by dan simmons is.
