#but be aware of spreading harmful stereotypes

[arliedraws]

Reminder, everyone, that queerness is not a personality trait. It can be an essential part of your identity and representation fucking matters, but your personality does NOT define your gender or sexuality.

The point of this post is not to call anyone out in particular for perpetuating harmful stereotypes about queerness/gender, but to ask people to be more reflective about why we tend to base our understanding of queerness in particular around stereotypical ideas of femininity and masculinity. Hypermasculinity harms all of us. If you are a trans woman, there is no RIGHT/CORRECT way to be a woman. If you are a trans man, you should NOT feel like you are less of a man because you embrace qualities our heteronormative society deems “feminine.” Obviously, right? Well, if you were to observe fandom and shipping dynamics, these values become…murky.

I say this out of the kindness of my heart and with all the love in the world, but folks gotta be more careful when they say, “I can’t believe people think THIS character is straight!!!!” with 100% sincerity particularly regarding a narrative where the author very obviously did not intend to make characters gay. (You’re excused if you say it because you’re just passionate and having a good time and I respect you for that.)

I am bothered by these statements because…upon what exactly are you basing this argument? The problem is, because the author (derogatory) did not intend for people to interpret particular characters as gay/queer, there is a strong likelihood this statement is based on stereotypical ideas of what queerness looks like. “He is dramatic/emotional” is…uh…not a good reason to think someone is gay. A man with stereotypical feminine qualities does not necessarily mean they are gay. A woman with traits associated with hypermasculinity does not necessarily mean they are gay.

Do I think Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are gay? YES. Do I think Tonks could probably be gender fluid? Yes! Do I adamantly believe that Sirius is a bisexual semi-aro superstar? Also very much Yes. So it’s not like I don’t have opinions or feelings about this. However, there is SO MUCH HARM in believing that men who embrace softness, beauty, and vulnerability MUST be queer. Okay, you say. But in MY mlm ship, one guy is SUPER DUPER masculine and the other one is feminine. Right. That’s part of my point. Hypermasculinity is so pervasive even in queer spaces that ships are often reduced to “this is the top/masculine person in the relationship, and this is the bottom/feminine person.” So…uhhhh…what does this sound like?

Yesterday, I had a conversation with my students (teenagers) to explain why “she wears the pants in the relationship” is an extremely harmful idea. I asked them, “Okay, so what does that mean when you say that?” Students responded that it meant that the woman was the “boss” in her heterosexual relationship—that she was the controlling one.

“So when you say ‘she wears THE pants,’ are you suggesting that one person wears the ‘traditionally masculine’ article of clothing and the other should wear the traditionally ‘feminine’ article of clothing?” I prompted. They could see where I was going with this. So I went on, “Think about what we’re insinuating here. We’re saying that men are leaders—or at least, they SHOULD be. Masculinity is being a leader, and femininity is being a follower. Making a snide remark that ‘she wears the pants’ suggests that she is NOT assuming proper gender roles and it might strike some of us as funny. But do we see the problem with this? What does that sound like to you? And for that matter, should ANY partnership be so unbalanced that ONE person controls it?”

Kids were shaking their heads, but one student was really troubled by this. “But in every relationship, there’s got to be the person in charge and the person who is just…” He didn’t really finish the sentence. I’m pleased to say that most of my students immediately recognized the glaring issue with this. Most of the class shot this kiddo very horrified looks, and he was so shocked that people weren’t on his side (goodhearted kid, but clearly some messed up gender roles going on at his house). I let them discuss a bit more and finished with, “Be reflective in your relationships, friends. Dynamics like this can sometimes point to power imbalances—and generally, people shouldn’t feel inferior in their partnerships.”

Fandom is SO LIKE THIS. We equate personality with sexuality and gender so hard!!!! We try to inject hypermasculinity into queer spaces SO HARD. At some point, your desire to be ‘subversive’ just turns into toxic heteronormativity. When you make Remus hypermasculine and Sirius hyperfeminine because it “just feels right” - consider WHY this feels right to you when there really is not a lot in canon that points to these things. Why does it feel right to you that one person should “be a top” and one should “be a bottom”? This is not to say this is ILLEGAL or you shouldn’t make Sirius feminine—it’s just…think about the underlying message here when it’s in contrast to very very masculine Remus.

My point here is NOT “stop making characters gay/feminine!!!” My point is, hell yeah, the characters who are canonically straight could be gay, but also I really recommend avoiding basing this on stereotypes. “I can’t believe people think this overly dramatic/emotional/fashionable/soft man is straight!” Unpack that. Really think about it. What are you really saying? Just…be reflective, folks. You are not immune to the heteronormative agenda.

TL;DR // softness, aggressiveness, beauty, love, gentleness, competitiveness, etc. belong to everyone, every gender, every sexuality.

#taking a bit of a risk with this #this is coming from someone who is uhhhh heavily into fucked up ships #i love fucked up dynamics #it’s hot #i am personally into playing with power dynamics in a kink way #but not in my regular life #disclaimer #you can do whatever you want #whatever floats your boat #but be aware of spreading harmful stereotypes #don’t just reinvent toxic heteronormativity lol

People saying they are "higher needs" when you point out harmful and misinformation that they are spreading about higher needs autism.

I have noticed this quite often, it is definitely not uncommon. When you are being called out about misinformation it's much easier to say that you are a part of that community as a "free pass" to validate anything you say than come forward that you were wrong and maybe reflect a little bit about what you have said.

Whenever people say "levels are ableist", "levels are stereotyping us" and I point out that this perspective is very low needs centered and it's usually late-diagnosed, low needs people that spread this kind of information that is incorrect and harmful people always, always end up saying "I am higher needs too", "I am level 2/3" and this makes me so incredibly upset.

First, if the person is being honest about their level, which honestly you just have to believe they are and hope for the best, since a lot of people seem to be self-diagnosing with "higher needs", which I absolutely do not agree with, that doesn't make them exempt from having typically "low needs/late-diagnosed actions". Being higher needs does not make you immune to saying bullshit and to ignoring other higher needs autistics. Being autistic also doesn't exempt you from being ableist, from being an Aspie Supremacist, being part of a community does not make you immune to being ableist to your own community. The biggest example of this is how often gay men are homophobic towards their own LGBTQ+ community, how often they can be transphobic, lesbophobic etc.

So, if someone is pointing out that what you are saying goes against the majority of the higher needs autism community, you do not get to say "I am higher needs" to validate what you are saying. I never, ever assume someone's needs over the internet and to call you out for harmful misinformation about levels and the general higher needs autistic activism is not assuming your level. If I tell you that what you are saying goes against what the majority of higher needs autistics talk about, I am not assuming you aren't higher needs. I am simply pointing out that you are being harmful to higher needs autistics, whether you are or not one of us.

Second, I am honestly very surprised to see people claiming they are higher needs while clearly not participating in higher needs activism and discussions. It's clear to all of us here, as far as I am aware, that levels are needed and that they are not ableist. All of my online "friends" (I call you all friends, because I remember your usernames and always check to see what you've been posting, even if we don't really interact) are fighting to get low needs/late-diagnosed people to understand our perspective and to understand that some of us do have more needs than others and that's fine. And very honestly, if one of us, who truly knows what we go through in the autistic community, keeps spreading this type of misinformation, this makes me so incredibly sad and I honestly am unable to understand why they would do that.

And I honestly assume (I know it's not really okay to assume, but be patient with me, we're all trying our bests and a lot of us are just tired with the backlash from the mainstream autistic community), by the things these people usually say that they really do not engage in our activism and do not truly understand what we try to fight for within the autistic community. So I do not know if they are late-diagnosed higher needs and therefore do not know about us, if they aren't higher needs, if they are higher needs yet refuse to participate in our activism, if they self-diagnosed higher needs... I don't know. Anyways, in any of these cases, telling you to keep up with actual higher needs activism (like what we do here, over at Reddit etc) is not, in any way, assuming you are not higher needs. It's telling you that you are clearly not listening to higher needs autism activism.

I always try to be nice and end up being blocked because people within the autistic community cannot take any criticism, ever. Just happened right now. I put so much effort into my words (which is much harder when you have a language impairment) to try to educate people, to be nice and let them know what they are saying is incorrect and people just assume I am either attacking them, being "ableist" or any other kind of misinterpretation of my words. Sometimes I think I will lose my mind over activism. I feel so left out, I feel like I am screaming at no one. I am so done with mainstream autism activism and I am so done being ignored. I think sometimes that I need to distance myself from activism because this is so hard to cope with emotionally. But at the same time I cannot because I cannot see misinformation and ignore, misinformation makes me furious, injustice against people like me and my friends here makes me absolutely mad. I cannot ignore. Maybe this is a symptom of my own autism, I don't know, if anyone does feel free to let me know. I can't ignore this. Anyways, this post was a vent. I am always very opened to criticism and civil discussions as long as long don't keep your arguments to impact phrases(+) everyone is done listening and as long as you don't block me when I am trying to have a civil discussion.

+ I am not sure if "impact phrases" is the correct word to what I am saying, I had to google this on translator because I don't know how to say this in English. By "impact phrases" I mean very used things without any meaningful thought like "levels are ableist", "levels divide us", "levels are new functioning labels". If you actually believe these things, I am also opened to explain why I (and a lot of higher needs and allies) think this is incorrect.

Addressing A Racist Issue In The MOGAI Community (TW : discussion of racism, sexualization, and mentioned SA)

hey. this blog isn't active, and the part behind it isn't active in my system either, but i do still exist. this used to be a MOGAI blog, as i am someone who considered myself (and still do consider myself) a part of the MOGAI community. unfortunately, i kept losing motivation to make flags and the blog has since been abandoned.

that's not what i'm here to discuss. i'm here to talk about an issue i've noticed in the community that has been irritating me for a while : yandere related genders.

for those who don't know, a yandere is a japanese anime trope used to a describe an individual (most often, a woman) who is madly and unhealthily in love with someone, often going to extreme lengths to try and achieve that person's attention.

i am a japanese trans woman with BPD. those who self identify as yanderes most often claim its a label exclusive to those with BPD or OLD, but this is where i see an issue begin. out of everyone i've seen 'reclaiming' this label, *none of them are japanese*. they say the term yandere is harmful against those with BPD and OLD and romanticizes the disorder, which i don't even necessarily disagree with, but here's the thing; the term yandere, most often, is used to sexualize, oppress, and stereotype japanese women. i have experienced things like this myself, firsthand, and i'm sure i'm not the only one out there.

we are fetishized, treated like objects of nothing but attraction. every white weeb wants a yandere anime girlfriend, it'd be so cool to be loved like that to them, but they see a japanese woman on the street and catcall her and call her slurs. asian fishing white women love to cosplay yanderes, but constantly steal and appropriate japanese culture without a second thought to it. the white man may joke with his friends about his new japanese girlfriend, calling her kawaii and yandere and unique for showing even the slightest bit of affection and love for him.

i have never been called a yandere for my BPD. i have seen myself and plenty of others be called yanderes for being japanese. it is, in my opinion, not your term to reclaim. you are not viewed inescapably as 'nekos', 'lolis' 'anime girls', and yes, 'yanderes' in the way that we are. you are not sexually assaulted and harassed and hatecrimed for your BPD like we have been.

i ask, respectfully, that non japanese people stop self identifying with this term. please help spread awareness to this issue with me, share this post in any way you can. i am tired of experiencing constant racism even in safe spaces like the MOGAI community, and i ask that you help me bring an end to it.

thank you, and please be mindful of your actions.

Hello! I'm a big fan of your network and I find your advice very soothing after a long day of studying. I was wondering if you can help ease some worries I have about a future career? I'm from the states, and I'm entering into my final year of college. I'm planning on becoming a teacher for middle school (unfortunately I'm unsure of what you call it overseas where you are? I want to teach the age range of around 12-13 year olds. My apologies). I've really enjoyed the program so far! I've made quite a few creature friends entering into the career as well, both in and out of my genus. Unfortunately, there's some harmful fear-mongering and stereotypes surrounding my genus, specifically with regards to kids? And they're just the most ridiculous, too? Like, these people think I'm gonna kidnap their kid and pull them to the nearest lake and drown them! Seriously.

Regardless, I'm rather worried about how they could affect me in my future career. I'm not very good at ignoring how people perceive me. While I was working as a lifeguard over the summer, I felt very on-edge and hyper aware of every sapio who looked at me funny. Even though many of these stereotypes are easily disputable, I've still seen quite a few articles spreading this misinformation alongside a wider surge of similar misinformation regarding other genuses. I guess my question is, how do I cope with this?

I'm sorry you're having to cope with this kind of prejudice, reader. Liminal culture in the United States is not – obviously – my area of expertise. That said, we certainly have our fair share of bigotry and anti-creature sentiment here in the UK, so I have high hopes I'll be able to help, at least a little.

The first thing I would stress to you is that it is far easier to be vocal in the name of hate than acceptance, and that venom and vitriol will sell more newspapers (or garner more clicks, as the case may be) than open-mindedness and a live-and-let-live attitude.

Do not mistake the loudest voices for the largest population. Very often, they have been artificially amplified by a media industry that knows the selling power of outrage.

Besides which, people are not generally speaking inclined to march in the streets and wave home-made placards at news cameras for the sake of telling the world, “This is an issue I have no strong feelings about.”

I don't think you should be trying to ignore this issue. But you need to be able to see it for what it is – a loud, vocal minority whose success is due more to the passive silence of the majority than any truth or charisma on their part.

After all, their beliefs are patently absurd! The world is full of aquatic creatures who manage to go their entire lives without drowning anyone – or at least, nobody who didn't deserve it.

Rather than ignoring these people, I think it would be healthier and more fulfilling for you to actively seek out ways to counter their ridiculous narrative.

Look into opportunities to get involved with cross-community education projects. Make your classroom an explicitly creature-friendly space. Support the children you teach and their families to learn more about liminal folk.

In short, let your own liminal life stand as example of the good that can come from mixed genus communities.

There will always be people out there determined to believe the worst of anyone they consider to be the “other”.

But with time, energy, and kindness, we can build a world where they are seen and understood for what they are – small-minded bigots more interested in making themselves feel important than in building any kind of lasting, healthy community.

And if they really get up your nose, remember: you can always drown them.

Here's the downlow on the 'You can't be punk if you have [interest here]!!!' and 'You're gatekeeping punk by saying i can't like [same thing] and be a part of it!!!' discourse:There are many ways to be punk.There are many things that can make you inherently NOT punk unless you change them about yourself.I'm gonna use myself as an example so you can understand what i mean with specifics:

I'm afrolatina.I'm extremely feminine,pastel,super goofy and i wear skirts and stockings and sweaters and do my makeup in 2000s styles.I'm autistic and some of my special interests are kidcore and the indie genre,including listening to stereotypical transmasc/nonbinary bands like The Front Bottoms and being fandoms like Adventure Time and MLP.I haven't been able to go to protests or deface public property yet because my current living situation would put my life at risk if i did.None of this makes me punk nor disqualifies me from it

I've read a lot of punk history and will continue until i literally can't find stuff i haven't.I'm a socialist.I'm learning to diy.I listen to punk music.Because of all the restaurant chain boycotts that have been going on,i've stopped buying from the ones i used to go to and looked up recipes on how to make their foods so i can still eat them but not give them support and similarly,i've decided to buy all my merch from media i like either secondhand or much preferably fanmade so i can support small artists with a focus on ones of color and trans and disabled ones.I save up spare money and have lied to my relatives to get them to give me more so i can donate to causes.I spread awareness about people in need so others can help them too.I do my best to be as respectful as possible in a humanizing way to minorities i'm not a part of and have erased my conservative family's teachings

I plan to get piercings,a battle jacket from a thrift store and load it with patches i made and pins bought from punk bussinesses and my current style is inherently gnc by virtue of me being both a man and a woman and i'm gonna present pastel punk specifically and that'll make it even moreso.I'm a firm believer in rights for all minorities with children being one of the main one's because i'm an eldest sibling and that made it so i ended up befriending a lot younger people enough that we consider eachother siblings too and a few of them even call me their parent because their actual ones are abusive and that's what made me go so hard for children's rights to begin with,especially since in almost all their cases it was motivated by them queer or neurodivergent or so forth,and a few of them have gone punk too because i inspired them to.This makes me punk and the first part dosen't invalidate that in any way,it's just another part of who i am because i'm a human person and therefore multifaced

And that's just the thing-Hobbies and tastes and most styles aren't inherently punk.There's tons,TONS of punk subgenres for a reason.Yes,they're are ones that make it so you can't be punk and yes,there's also ones that would you make a dumbass if you said they're the same as that.Punk has rules.You can be punk and be edgy,femme,indie and everything inbetween.You CAN'T be punk if you don't actually have our ideologies and do our cultural requirements because punk is not a universal heritage.You're not unpunk for not living up to the most popular imagine of us even though you have the personality and fufill the actions.You're unpunk if you prioritize fitting in over being kind and don't help out minorities to prioritize oppressors even though they're the ones you're supposedly fighting for and cry 'cencorship and purity culture' when people think you're gross for having age/raceplay and incest and noncon kinks and sexualizing minors even if they're not 'real' or it's 'just pretend' when there's actual harmful cencorship and when purity culture is about christians historical abuse of young women using their sexualities against them to cater to men.Los Punkeros son asunto serio,no mamen

[aroaceconfessions]

There’s a popular fanartist in a fandom I’m in who has been spreading posts about how aroace people can fall in love, participate in romantic/sexual gestures, etc. through their art of the characters.

And while l understand that they meant it in a “people who identify as aromantic/asexual are not all the same and are in a spectrum”, as someone who is romance/sex repulsed, it makes me feel like a fraud.

It gets more frustrating when l see my favourite characters as aroace and doing stuff like kissing because it makes me feel like I’m not normal for not wanting to do those kind of things. Seeing other aroace people praising the representation also makes me feel out of place for thinking this way.

I totally understand that not every aroace person is like me and goes through the same experiences, like that’s something I’m aware of as someone who tries their best to understand everything about the identity they have. But when I see someone say that it’s a harmful stereotype to say that aroace people cannot fall in love, it makes me feel selfish and someone to be hated on as someone who well, doesn’t want to or able to fall in love.

That anon really reminds me of something I've been contemplating a lot lately, to be honest, and it's that we need to treat racist media differently or else it's never ever going to improve. Instead of saying "it's okay to consume 'x' so long as you're aware of the harmful stereotypes 'x' is spreading because all media is problematic to some degree uwu", if a piece of media has any racist stereotypes or perpetuates any racist narratives period no one should buy it at all. And no do not come on here with bad faith arguments conflating media that perpetuates racism with media that discusses or critiques or is commentary on racism. There is a difference, and most discerning people know that as well. Stop being disingenuous. Racist narratives and stereotypes continue because popular creators like SJM and the booktok faves have no incentive to improve because people buy whatever they put out, regardless of how damaging it is, regardless of what racist narratives their works spread from "having darker skin is ugly" to "fighting against oppression makes you just as bad as the oppressors." So I'm waiting for the day we all collectively just. Boycott racist media. All of it. Boycott Throne of Glass and ACOTAR and beyond publishing to television and Hollywood and boycott all new media that comes out that perpetuates racist narratives. Or more specifically, media where the audience note something is racist and the creators refuse to respond to said criticisms. We need to boycott it ALL, no matter how "fun" it is, no matter how much you like it, and demand better.

#this ofc is coupled with supporting authors of color and non racist works #like if you REALLY want to engage with something like throne of glass or acotar or something then just pirate it #and again save your coins for and support non racist media #whew i needed to get that off my chest #fandom racism #not really? #publishing #bookish rambles #real world issues #on media #anti sjm #anti acotar #racism #anti booktok

i dont think anon was referring to sps simple style, sp is a pretty controversial show. from what i've seen, it seems pretty bigoted? i could be wrong. sorry if this ask is rude, i don't mean to be rude, but yeah i think that's what anon meant

Oh no, not rude at all!! Sorry you have to apologize my response to that anon was a lot more srs than I intended I just wanted to get my point across, I'm all for open discussions :] to answer the bigoted question, I wouldn't entirely say no. but I can say that South Park was not made to make fun of minorities and spread harmful messages. The show presents bigoted behavior from the antagonists who are too stupid to realize they're wrong, it's up to you as the audience to realize that what they are the antagonists and that their actions should not be justified and supported. And even then, there are characters who outwardly speak out and work to fight against said bigots in the episodes they're in. However, the show also relies on shock humor. And this is a criticism on the fans part, but they really gotta stop saying "why are you surprised? It's South Park" as if being surprised over something gross or offensive wasn't the point in the first place. The ridiculous shit in the show isn't supposed to be normalized!! It's supposed to be absolutely ridiculous to the audience and catch them off guard!! You're not supposed to get used to it!! You're not supposed to like it, but you're not supposed to read too deep in it either, breaking down why it's wrong and why you found it shocking and why this is SUPER PROBLEMATIC!! Isn't the point. You just gotta acknowledge that "oh that's fucked up I cant believe they did that, that is so wrong" and just sit in shock for a bit and move on. Like, you can't tear the show apart for one joke when its purpose was for you to realize it's supposed to be ridiculous and wrong at the same time, and the show itself being aware of that fact. A lot of the offensive material circulating around on why South Park is bad lacks context. Cartman and Butters dressing up as chinese stereotypes? They are at a normal Chinese restaurant, harassing a Chinese family because they're idiots who believe that china will overthrow the world, they are asked to leave. Ike in a relationship with his teacher? Ike is a victim of a grooming that is not taken seriously by the police because the predator was a woman, portraying how male victims situations are overlooked in real life, the teacher dies in the end. Randy saying the N-word on live television? He is ridiculed and seen as a total asshole, he gets called "N-word guy" by the people around him and retaliates by making it illegal to call him that name, a satirical role reversal portraying the hypocrisy and sensitivity of white people (oppressors) where they make the "slur" against them illegal but not the slurs against the people they have oppressed for years.

But even after all this, I can see that there are other examples that I can't, and I am not willing to justify. At the end of the day, we all have to acknowledge that South Park was made by two cishet white men. (this was why I said I can't entirely say no) Their opinions will not always be right, and I'm sick of fans trying to justify some of their episodes and jokes just because they like South Park, South Park is not one of those shows you want to ride or die on. I personally have a few jokes and episodes I dislike and will absolutely never watch again, but that is not my main focus. Discrimination is not my draw, and I don't think that's the show's either. Now we're going out to discussion territory and more of personal opinion. I personally enjoy South Park because I feel very drawn to the characters and I find their character driven adventures and antics to be really entertaining. I don't care much for the social commentary. Not that I completely ignore it, it's just something I acknowledge is important in some episode's narratives, but not something I pay too close attention to.

I don't think I watch South Park for the intended reasons, and I don't think most of the fans over here on Tumblr do either. I can admit that I enjoy a version of South Park that isn't technically South Park entirely. I enjoy South Park for what it isn't, and that is a situational comedy with four little guys getting into all sorts of trouble <3

And the funny thing about this whole post is that I used to be a South Park hater.

I thought it was just a bigoted show where the only jokes it had were slurs and children saying fuck, right before I actually gave it a chance and was surprised to find out that it was more than I thought it was, and that I actually somehow enjoyed it.

It's kinda crazy to me that I'm technically defending SOUTH PARK of all things right now.

But uh yeah, I like South Park, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was, and I ended up hyperfixating on it. I'm not here to change anyone's mind and make them watch South Park because "it's ACTUALLY spotless and politically correct all the time, you're just sensitive ☝🤓" People are right to label South Park as controversial, and people are right to be offended by it when it's making fun of something it doesn't understand or without the proper nuance, and people are allowed to discuss and criticize the show for it. With all that said, The show is not emblematic of its own fans, and some of its own fans need to stop looking up to it like it's the bible.

Matt and Trey can be wrong, and even fans like me who enjoy it aren't too dumb and ignorant to recognize and rightfully not be in support of certain aspects of it when a line is being crossed.

This whole thing was supposed to end right after I attached the photo of the characters, but then I just decided to write more and so I puked this extra fluff out, sorry about that lol

#taikko asks #me and my homies hate matt and trey meatriders sorry 👎 #<- the meatriders who defend them at every turn and justify everything they do. theyre grown ass cishet white men dude #meatriders who just have a crush on them.....you do you idc its none of my business LOL #SORRY YALL THIS IS LONG #do not ask me about my opinions (walls of text that is too long) #im new to the fandom/south park in general but i watched the whole series already so sorry if this screams 'NEW FAN!!' #be GLAD im a new fan i was too young and impressionable to watch it before #do NOT let 13 year old mikyomix near south park EVER #i dont usually write essays or stuff this long idk if i did good or not lol #south park

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but as I caught myself doing it, I realized it was very likely a good chunk of others are also - I think having the racist parts included in the poll is going to heavily skew the data anyway because people will, very likely, not feel able to vote for something racist in good conscience, and so the votes the racist screams would have gotten if they weren't racist are lost, thus making the data unusable due to personal bias. not even considering the number of people abstaining completely, dropping the pool of data further! I'm not aware if this has been broached yet, but I think it's definitely worth noting that the data for the racist clips will always be untrustworthy, even if the scream itself is good. On top of all of the other reasons why they should be omitted ofc!

GOD YEAH. i feel so dumb going “🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 well gee you make a good point there 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔” all contemplatively because i’m realizing that was my intent too, in that “well hopefully they’ll whittle down as the rounds go further and further” has been constantly harping on my mind. but that absolutely feeds into everything you laid out too, which, again, i DEEPLY appreciate.

i’ll be doing that, then, in that i think it’s the safest and SMARTEST course of action. it’s likewise been pointed out that the setting is a little different here than if i were doing one of my analyses, in that i’m still making it available to vote for one of those options, and that interactive element innately delegitimizes the harm/makes light of it under the guise of a poll.

i was conflating that perspective with my analyses, which IS often a more objective presentation of “okay: this is it. here is the historical context. here is how a more modern perspective impacts how it currently stands” and forgetting that polls are polls. you’re voting on them. they’re going to get spread around and viewed as a game. and they are! and i was viewing the polls from the same archivist lens as the rest of my blog, when, due to the intrinsic nature of how these polls works, you can’t really do that. it’s not the same presentation. i do view this as a historical archival of the progression of these cartoons, how Mel Blanc’s voice changes and adapts through voice direction and even the impact of history on these shorts (like, the shorts made during the WWII years are much more energetic than the domesticity of the post-war cartoons. there’s more yelling to be found in the WWII era shorts for that reason) and i was getting too lost in that and sticking to my guns of “all of this is history and deserves to be acknowledged and accounted for fairly, if/especially describing how well or poorly something has aged, otherwise it’s not history” and that doesn’t… really… work… for these polls.

i can’t believe it’s taken weeks for me to come to this realization and again, i sincerely thank you and everyone else who has called me out on this or offered other means of perspective. it was pure ignorance on my behalf, and i do want to make it known that it was never my intention to perpetuate these stereotypes and caricatures further nor harm anyone. but, obviously, prefacing it with “my intentions were good!” doesn’t negate the very real and serious harm these caricatures and i myself have caused by spreading them in such a leisurely context (or lack thereof).

as mentioned before, i take the safety and comfort of my followers and readers incredibly seriously, ESPECIALLY with the nature of these cartoons. and it’s exactly why i’m so adamant about asking people (such as yourself) to speak up and call me out, let me know what i’ve done wrong, so i can apologize, take accountability, and move forward. those disclaimers aren’t a way to avoid accountability or make it seem like i have a free pass to discuss racism. i really do mean them with every ounce of my heart, so i deeply, deeply, deeply appreciate people such as yourself acting out on those messages. thank you.

i will be excising any future deplorable examples that come up (that, thankfully, have been very few and far between, i’m up to 1948 in logging these and have “only” run into 2 that would apply) and am just going to cut any of the winners out that survived and are going into Round 2. it’s not worth it. none of it has been, but definitely, if i’m constantly thinking to myself “it’ll whittle down!” then maybe we ought to restructure our thinking now haven’t we. funny how that works.

thank you again and my deepest and most sincere apologies. i feel like a complete and utter heel for my negligence—especially because the gut instinct of “just don’t put them in there” was there all along. but, again! these exact situations are why i stress the importance of calling me out on my BS. i’m likewise deeply aware of literally just how silly this entire thing sounds, because none of this should have ever been a problem because i just shouldn’t have included them in the first place! but i did, and i take full accountability, and the harm has already been done. so i just ask and thank you for your patience, understanding and forgiveness, but completely understand that nobody—especially those harmed by my ignorance—is entitled to give it to me.

nobody ever deserves to be confronted nor harmed with such egregious stereotypes, even/especially if said stereotypes are peddled under the guise of objectivity or historical preservation. a poll is not a history site. likewise, nobody deserves to be alienated over cartoons. i post what i post because i want to share the same overflowing love and passion and joy i feel for animation history with others. i love learning new factoids. i love being educated. i love feeling like i’m learning, like i’m indulging in an intimate slice of life from a bygone era. i want to share that same love and passion and joy to my followers. i’m here to make people laugh and to make people smile. i’m here to remind people of long buried memories, or to inspire them to make new ones and investigate these cartoons themselves. i’m here to preserve the history of these cartoons within their proper contexts, and do what i can to ensure i’m doing that safely and smartly and in a way that benefits everyone. and i’m not going to accomplish any of that by slipping needlessly horrendous caricatures in something as inconsequential as a poll on which clip sounds funnier or more impressive or whatever and causing the harm.

so, sincerely, thank you.

#there are a few Hitler caricatures coming up that i may similarly apprehend—the shorts are making fun of him and Blanc of course is Jewish #but it’s just not worth it for the reasons above. a poll isn’t the proper context for it #i know i’ve been making a lot of big grandiose responses and apologies and posts lately and i know those can come off as pious and hard to #take seriously. and those who do not feel they owe it to me to take them seriously don’t have to. again i’m not owed anything #but i do hope to stress that this all comes from a very genuine place and that i mean every word #i really do genuinely feel absolutely terrible. and obviously the only direction is forward. nobody is asking for me to feel terrible and #what’s done is done i’ve caused the harm i’ve caused and the best thing i can do is own up to it apologize and not repeat my mistakes #so. i know long messages like these can come off as guilt trippy or manipulative but i really am just speaking from the heart (and you guys #know me i never shut up) #so. thanks for listening and thanks for reaching out. i appreciate it immensely. #gothglam #asks

I will say that the usage of psychopath and sociopath do tend to get muddled. However, I think Luci might have been using it as a broad term. I don't think there was any harm meant to it. You know what I mean?

It's just that it used to be a medical term for people with Antisocial Personality Disorder and is still used in reference to them, and by using it negatively it spreads stereotypes. I don't think they meant harm though, I just think they weren't aware. Like I said, many people are not aware of this, I myself only finding out recently.

What IS menhera:

Spreading awareness and information about mental health

Sharing coping mechanisms

Cute vent art or edits

Motivational posts

Menhera fashion (which is a whole topic on its own)

Keep in mind that menhera is a movement by mentally ill people, and FOR mentally ill people. Menhera is also strictly PRO-RECOVERY! Menhera.jp defines “menhera” as “a person who seeks mental well-being.”

So, these things are NOT menhera, and shouldn’t be tagged as such:

Yanderecore or reinforcing stereotypes about mental illness

Gore or irl self-harm images

Blood or self-harm as “makeup”

Anti-recovery rhetoric

Anything that would make the tag unsafe to browse for a mentally ill person!

And, of course, as always, be sure to trigger tag potentially upsetting content! 💊💖

Reasons why I think GLaDOS from Portal is autistic. This is not meant to be a hurtful post as I myself am autistic. I know some traits can be demonized and spread as if they are bad when they are not, so please be thoughtful if you comment !

Feel free to tell me more traits to add on and I will do so !!!! Same for if I'm wrong on anything, some of these are probably worded weird.

×××

- GLaDOS seems to have more care for animals than humans

- she has a special interest in science

- she prefers to be alone than with others (although that might be because she only gets to see humans) and doesn't really have many friends

- she likes pretty extreme/specific organization

- because GLaDOS is a robot, she doesn't understand proper communication or social norms as much. She doesn't understand why others are into what they are and finds it boring or confusing. Same with humor. With communication she also doesn't seem to know what the proper things to say to someone are.

- she likes things to stay on schedule and gets worried or freaked out when they don't. She doesn't fully know how to combat it. She likes the rhythm and learning of testing and that's all.

- she seems to get anxious very easily. Like most of these it's probably because of the content in the game but it could apply to what we don't see as well.

- she tries to always be a smarter person than everyone else and stay correct.

- She is incredibly intelligent and is more considerate than the other characters around her

- she tends to copy others. Like how she has a lot of similar habits to Cave.

- she stims by swaying side to side and by singing (like in PotatOS Lament)

- she seems to be very emotional and can become obsessive

- GLaDOS has a line about human sex being ridiculous, making her probably asexual, and I looked it up and apparently autistic people are more likely to be asexual (or be hypersexual)! so that's cool. Also GLaDOS is canonically bisexual and sexuality varies more with autistic people too. Same with gender. So it makes me wonder if GLaDOS could be under the trans umbrella as well.. /hj

- GLaDOS has very strong senses and gets overstimulated! When she's PotatOS she has less of an ability to process things and shuts down due to it. She is more aware of things and that can be overwhelming.

Extra more written rather than bullet point thoughts.

GLaDOS is a very complex character. I find it so interesting how Valve portrays her and it makes me wonder if the writers knew that GLaDOS would be like this. Like if they knew most of what she did was autistic rather than allistic. Or if they thought that's just what robots were like. I haven't seen anyone at Valve talk about where they got her personality from (other than Erik Wolpaw saying he got GLaDOS being mean about Chell's weight from things his grandma said). It also makes me want to know more about Ellen McLain (GLaDOS' voice actress) and what she thinks about it as she says she relates to GLaDOS a lot.

Despite the fact that GLaDOS is a robot therefore that's probably why she acts so disconnected from other people, I think she could be great representation. She doesn't have any harmful traits (besides the whole. Murdering everyone thing. But by harmful I mean autistic stereotypes and harmful things centered around it) and just kind of lives how she wants to. It's nice to see. I think GLaDOS is such an important character and im glad she exists. <3

I found this article and it lists many traits of autism in women and it's pretty interesting!

The kpop fan community is very fake. Obviously I won't put everyone in the same bag because I'm not that kind of person, but it hasn't even been a week of talking about how words and mass hate on the internet can affect our idols for those same people to celebrate Dayoung's comment towards Shindong because he supposedly "deserves it" and it is "an eye for an eye". Context here.

Shindong has been criticized, judged and labeled as macho and fatphobic for a comment that went out of context 10 years ago. The situation was this: A radio listener told him that she wanted to lose weight to look pretty for her boyfriend and he didn't agree. The phrase 'I am a man and you are a woman' that is attributed to Shindong is without context. He was debating how macho the girl's boyfriend was and what would happen if it was the other way around, then Shindong says: 'he could say I'm a man and you're a woman' thus showing a normalized macho thought in our society. He said that he would support his girlfriend's decision if it were the other way around, but he also mentioned that "If you'll be happier starting a diet do it, but only for yourself, not for someone else" That was it. He also wrote an apology on Twitter and mentioned that he would be more careful next time. But still many antis are not satisfied with that and they keep pointing him out for what he has done, does or does not do. To this day, many kpop fans take as fact and reality what some Twitter and TikTok accounts say about how "bad" Super Junior is. They have been in the kpop industry for over 18 years so I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they have made some ignorant comment because all of us have grown up with dysfunctional and toxic beliefs that over the years we have had to unlearn. And if you think that this is not real and is not valid, then I tell you that you will have to carry a huge guilt throughout your life that will make you unhappy.

Society is not the same as 10 years ago because we all evolve and change, it is part of the course of life and it is a reflection that we will not stay with a square mentality if it is not convenient for us and different vulnerable sectors who suffer different kinds of hatred, discrimination and rejection. And for that same reason, I do not label Dayoung as a bad person or fatphobic, because I do believe that it is valid that our mistakes do not label us and that we have the opportunity to grow and improve every day. She is young and just starting out in the world of kpop (and hopefully for her and her fans for many more years). The point of reflection here is about the fans and their malicious comments on the internet. I know we are all aware of what the community is like on twitter and tiktok (since many of us have moved from there to create a healthier community here on tumblr) but it never ceases to amaze me how lost many kpop fans are. Do you complain that the kpop industry is difficult and harmful? Ask yourself who consume it and what they demand. Everything is a vicious circle of supply and demand. If you really want to make the kpop industry healthier go to yourself and ask yourself what are you doing to make it better. Industries move and accommodate based on what the public prefers. If you continue to spread hate based on stereotypes, misinformation, ignorance and double standards, then you will continue to feed dehumanization in that industry that you want so badly to change. Please don't minimize the power of being kind and the ability to see life in a more nuanced way than just "bad" and "good." Believe me that by doing so you make a big change.

Living in a World of Ignorance and Stereotypes

How many times have you heard people talking about autism like it’s a worse fate than death? In recent years, anti-vax movements were fueled by the idea that vaccines cause autism. More often than not, I hear autism being discussed in ways that portray autistic people as inhuman. However, autism is actually very similar to another neurological disorder—ADHD. 

Although they are distinctly different neurodevelopmental disorders, most people fail to notice the crossover between the two. The social impairment often associated with autism also appears in those with ADHD. ADHD is known for impulsivity and inattention; autism can come with that, too. According to Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, a study was done on the similarities between ADHD and autism, proving the overlap between symptoms of ADHD and autism.

So why are ADHD and autism treated so vastly differently? When a person with ADHD struggles to communicate, they’re called shy, but when an autistic person has the same struggles, they’re labeled as low-functioning.

Stereotypes surrounding neurodevelopmental disorders create stigma against people with disabilities. Rather than doing research on certain topics, people tend to listen to stereotypes. This has been shown throughout history with queer people, neurodivergent people, disabled people, and people of color.

Not only are stereotypes harmful to people who they are targeted towards, but they make it difficult for people to realize the truth about diagnosable disabilities, such as ADHD and autism. I was never taught about disabilities; I was only taught the stereotypes behind disabilities. Even those who were diagnosed with ADHD at a young age were not taught about it. Consequently, people who have experienced this struggle to understand why they act and think in certain ways.

The people who said that ADHD is a ruse also believe that being autistic is worse than being dead. These are the very same people who watched me struggle to perform even the simplest tasks, things that I wanted to do so badly. These people created and upheld the stereotype that ADHD was a diagnosis that belonged to hyperactive elementary school boys, which prevented me from getting a diagnosis until sixteen. It continues to stand as a barrier between people who were assigned female at birth and adults who have ADHD. A diagnosis could aid them in significantly improving their quality of life and give them an understanding behind the difficulties they face daily.

Blatant ignorance cannot be cured, but the spread of misinformation can be stopped with the aid of others. Ignorance, even with positive intentions, can prevent people from finding the resources necessary to help them succeed and understand their disabilities. The best way to counteract this effect is to spread awareness.

The TOA Fandom + Diversity (please read & reblog! it’s important that this post circulates)

I’m not going to sugarcoat: this fandom is fucking horrible about the arcane order (and people who don’t conform to the stinky gender binary in general)

the toa wiki has a category for ‘wielders of excalibur’ (an exclusive title of which literally only two people have ever held) but no non-binary/agender one, which is #1, a real identity, and #2, careless to not have, considering the arcane order.

I literally started a post about adding one awhile back, or at least removing the ‘male’ and ‘female’ tags on their pages, and I was told that without confirmation I couldn’t do it, that they used certain pronouns, and a bunch of other things that would’ve been completely valid if I hadn’t given them proof of every single thing I said.

but that’s not my point here— i can feel sorry for myself all I want, but my point still stands. the admin had almost terrifyingly close-minded beliefs for someone so active on the internet; non-binary people have to use they/them pronouns, gay people can’t be transphobic, and many other harmful things.

I’ve seen this sort of purposeful ignorance way more than I should be in this fandom, and not just directed towards us non-conforming queers.

The input of Indigenous, Jewish, Asian, and many other kinds of peoples have been pushed aside in favour of a lack of responsibility and reconciliation. @sundown-draws has made many, many posts detailing the issues of representation in the Tales of Arcadia series, as have I. Others have added on to their posts with their own perspectives and issues, which I genuinely find to be such a beautiful show of unity between otherwise disconnected people.

However, it seems that these posts on their own don’t spread much beyond people who are involved with them— which is fine. algorithms (or people, in this case) can be finicky, and that can’t be blamed for the lack of awareness here.

The white, non-queer people who are the root of the problem can be, though.

We have interacted with people who are perpetuating stereotypes and communicated with them that they are doing so. We receive no answer.

This is not unwilling, innocent ignorance.

This is bigotry. This is an unwillingness to listen or to admit that you are wrong. This is a conscious choice to ignore marginalized people who are trying to tell you what is acceptable and what is not.

please, don’t take this as an insult, or as me trying to be a jerk. I am begging you, genuinely begging, to please be aware of what you are saying, and if you get something wrong, listen. do your research, listen to the people around you.

and if you mess up, don’t get all blamey and think you’re a bad person! because i guarantee you, you aren’t. no one is perfect, and it isn’t realistic to try.

just walk through life with an open heart, an open mind, and a loving soul, and I promise that you’ll experience things in a whole new point of view that you could never imagine <3

(this isn’t just for fandom! all of this can and should be applied irl :D)

[bisexualsdeservebetter]

Apparently today is pan awareness day. Maybe people should use this spread awareness about the history of the label.

For Pan awareness day I'd like to take a moment to talk about some common misconceptions and harmful stereotypes!

1. "Bi = 2/2 or more, Pan = All" in reference to sexuality. Bisexuality has long been described by bisexuals as attraction regardless of gender! Not "2 or more". In fact, the "bi" part of bisexual denotes not 2 genders, but 2 types of attraction: homo and hetero, genders like and unlike one's own, which would of course encompass all.

2. "Bisexuals care about gender, pans never have preferences" tell that to all the people who call themselves pansexual yet insist they're attracted to everyone bit cis men, which is both not "no preference" AND it's transphobic towards trans men. Also, nobody is attracted to someone solely for their gender, including bisexuals. That's ridiculous.

3. This one is a little out dated, but it still needs to be discussed. "Bisexuals don't like trans people, pans do". This is not only incorrect, but it's also transphobic. This purposely others trans people and insinuates that there needs to be a whole other sexuality for people willing to date a trans person.

4. "Biphobia isn't real." Biphobia refers to prejudice against bisexuals, I have never seen anybody claiming that bisexuals are specifically targeted by institutional oppression. Prejudice against bisexuals is very real, and can be seen both in and out of the LGBT community. Examples of biphobia include the ever growing list of mspec labels, people insisting that a bisexual is secretly straight or secretly gay, the idea that bisexuals need to pick a side, the stereotype that bisexuals are promiscuous/prone to cheating, and yes, also the constant misinformation about bisexuality and bisexual history that has become such a problem because of the popularity of the pansexual label.
