Idk man I might get torn to shreds for saying this, but I simply cannot understand the new trend, particularly among younger internet users, where people write a laundry list of their triggers in their bio and then expect everyone to read and cater to said list on a PUBLIC PLATFORM.

This is the same mentality that drives people to attack appropriately tagged fics on AO3 for having x y or z content because “How dare you post this when I have trauma about this???” Obviously if someone is going to write a super heavy and highly sensitive fic and NOT tag it properly, they ought to be called out on it. But this isn’t about that, it’s about the people who don’t curate their own content, it’s about the people who enter public spaces and demand that the general public cater to THEM specifically.

Additionally: Listing out your triggers for everyone to see is just ASKING for trolls to come into your inbox and flood you with triggering content. (Unfortunately, as much as we would like to believe otherwise, the internet is full of selfish jerks who don’t give a crap about anybody’s trauma.) Not only this, but the algorithm does not read your bio. The algorithm does not care about your triggers unless YOU make sure to block specific tags and content.

YOU are responsible for curating your own content, and nobody else.

Obviously this is not to say people shouldn’t try to tag their posts for common triggers, because that’s the common courtesy thing to do. But if Becky has a phobia of bees, it is on her to block that tag and curate her feed around it, and she does not get the exclusive right to suddenly demand that nobody talk about bees within a ten mile radius of her. If Alec has a phobia of dogs, then it is well within his right to avoid contact with them, but he doesn’t get to go to a public park and yell at anybody who brings their dog there. It is his responsibility to know his own limits and seek out parks that are dog-free. (If someone brings a dog to a dog-free area, that’s a whole different issue that I won’t be getting into rn but yes, the person who does that is in the wrong there.)

The internet is widely a public space. If you want to create a safe space completely and utterly free of your specific triggers, you have to put the work in to make that space for yourself. You don’t get to ask other internet strangers to do it for you.

I’m saying this out of genuine concern (and admittedly, frustration) because there are so many young teens in fandom nowadays who don’t understand this, and they end up putting themselves in extremely vulnerable and even downright dangerous situations because they don’t understand that putting your well-being in the hands of a stranger is a terrible idea.

Please be safe, and for the love of all that is holy, be reasonable. Curating your content yourself is just as much a protection for you as it is a vital key that allows public communities to function.

another thing i've Witnessed in all spheres of modern feminism is who gets afforded the grace of "internalized misogyny" vs who just gets called a "misogynist"

like if you are a feminine cis girl (& usually white too) all your sexist bullshit is excused as internalized misogyny that was pushed on them by a sexist society that they have to unlearn but in the meantime we cannot hold them accountable or be too mean to them bc they're traumatized and trying :((((( so if you call out their sexism, YOU are in fact being a woman-hating bitch/dyke/etc who hates girls and girlhood

but...... if you are a trans woman or you're butch or a stud or a woman of color and you say anything even perceived as sexist, oh no no you do NOT get the grace of "internalized misogyny". you don't get time to learn or grow. you are a sexist and you should be shot and you might as well be a man.

and usually the latter group's "misogyny" is just pointing out the other group's double standards and sexism which gets us called not girls girls and "pick-mes" (used wrong) and sexist etc. like sometimes obviously we ARE misogynistic, everyone is, but usually it's over the dumbest shit and even in the cases where someone in the latter group is being genuinely sexist, they are NOT given the same grace as the former group

#sorry ive been on a feminism kick lately it's an autism mode rn but like. i have so many thoughts constantly just rattling around in there #discourse cw #but i REALLY noticed this one w my infamous post abt girl dinner lmfaooooo #the amount of ppl in those notes being like how dare you theyre traumatized by girlhood you fucking misogynist #like. do you not see the double standard there or.... no? okay

please remember wilbur isn't the representative of the mcyt community as a whole, and does not represent all cc. there's been a lot of doomspiraling over the past few days, and i understand the lashing out and feeling hurt or betrayed, it makes sense in scenarios like this.

but he is not the end all be all of mcyt content, if you look in his apology tweet right now, you can see dozens of other mcyt cc speaking out against him or standing up for his victim. or even the people in private she came forward to that supported her coming out. don't let a bad apple cause the efforts of the rest of this community go to waste.

#there's also other cc who definitely have circumstances of their own they're going thru rn so don't expect someone not replying = supporting #that's a dangerous mindset to get into. we don't know what everyone can be going through that they cannot comment at the moment. #just that the people speaking out deserve the credit for doing so #discourse #abuse cw

thrilled to announce that you can now become a yaoi war profiteer thanks to tumblr polls

#🐉 #iceberg of discourse passing by type statement but theres an ao3 top ships poll going on rn and some people paid for voter fraud #idgaf and i dont think anyone with half a brain does either but the out of context posts on my dash about it have been very funny

[vulpinesaint]

the hate on demisexuality specifically when ace exclusion was all the rage is still so funny to me. bitches going "some teenager on the internet made up that term for a character and then decided to use it herself!!!!" as if that was. a rebuttal? like wowwwww a teenager projected an experience onto a character of theirs. that's never happened before. that's so crazy someone made up a word to describe their experience??? yeah dude you should definitely go bully teenagers on the internet about it that seems like the reasonable thing to do. can't let those teens. uh. [ checks notes ] come to a realization about their sexuality and then talk about it

#valentine notes #ace exclusion #ace discourse #i've absolutely made this post before but i'm thinking ab it rn haha #demisexual

Once again I want to remind everyone that if you don't feel personally comfortable buying stuff from the qsmp shop, it's completely fine, however if your reason for it is that you're helping ex or current admins, then I'm sorry but you're not at all. It's been said multiple times that the qsmp is not financially stable rn, it is the whole reason why the egg admins can't come back to the server now, because there are no funds to currently pay them properly. Until qsmp's financial situation is sorted, the egg admins can't come back, and ex admins cannot be paid back for their work. Quackity can't pull money out of his ass. This is the whole point of the merch, to hopefully increase qsmp's funds.

Again, don't buy anything if you feel uncomfortable to do so rn, it's perfectly alright, just keep what I said above in mind if it's not about comfort. Remember to be nice and respectful to each other!

#I'm sorry but it makes sense that pomme's admin hasn't been contacted about payment yet #because they have no money to pay her rn #it's way too early for that #especially when other egg admins haven't come back yet #this is a conversation to have when stuff starts to stabilize #qsmp #qsmp discourse #qadmin situation

I’ll probably be bitter forever about the things Purgatory has done to our fandom. We all underwent incredible amounts of stress because we thought the eggs’ lives were all at risk. It fractured and divided us in such lasting ways.

We all legitimately thought that if our team lost then the most beloved players on the server, characters we canonically think of as children, would be killed. That’s fucked up! It’s now double fucked up in my eyes because there wasn’t even a point!!!

There was no planning and the idea of a “cursed team” was bullshit. We know from a few signs from eggs like Dapper and Tallulah that even they didn’t know what the deal with the cursed team was and it sucks to know that apparently NO ONE knew. Tubbo and all of us fans were investigating and trying our best to prevent disaster and it was completely pointless.

I’ve seen so many people who, to this day, still can’t watch Bolas or Soul Fire streamers because of how much they experienced.

I’ll be so honest, it took me close to a month to be able to watch Badboyhalo without feeling some level of upset. This is a guy I had been watching and appreciating the work of for MONTHS then one two week span mentally turned me against him. The only thing which pulled me out of that is reminding myself that I realistically have no real problem with him. Everyone was just in a horrifically stressed frame of mind and we were dividing ourselves even though all of us want the best for the eggs.

I was probably able to do that /because/ I was both a Bolas and Soul Fire watcher. I was fighting to see both sides, but damn. The stress and fear around Purgatory actively made that so difficult. I’ve been upset for awhile about the division in some of our fandom spaces, and now that I know for certain about the absolute failure of storytelling that happened here, it feels so much worse to me.

Nah, settlers forfeit their right to human decency because settlers aren’t human. Can’t be antisemitic against someone who’s not human

i think we have a fundamental difference of morals.

#ask avishai #the state of Discourse rn is so fucking depressing

[420technoblazeit]

i keep seeing people make the argument that hobie's WAY older than gwen and pavitr despite the fact that they're all really close friends in the movie. and i get that there's no canon established age for him in atsv yet but let's be honest. it's because he's black and miles is 'less threatening' than him isn't it

#this is a hot take but hey if youre white. check urself rn. because i can see him being an older teenager but some ppl are saying 20s WHY #would that make any sense considering gwen is like 16 dude cmon. like this feels weird can we stop trying to cancel ppl over a #fictional character without an established age who is stated in the comics to be a teenager anyway #across the spider verse #across the spiderverse #hobie brown #hobert brown #spiderpunk #spider punk #atsv #discourse #the pig squeals

Reminder that dolphins are not inherently evil

You cannot apply human morals to any animal

Just as people call sharks evil or orcas evil or hippos evil

None of these animals have the ability to apply morals to situations like we can, they simply do the things that requires them to survive

Cetaceans are incredibly intelligent and social, but they still should not be deemed evil in the same way as we apply morals and good and evil to humans.

If sharks, dolphins, orcas and hippos are evil because they kill animals to eat them then maybe have a look at humans who have driven many marine animals to extinction
