#i don't understand the anti mentality

[thepacksurvives]

"alicent is not the girlboss her stans think she is" okay but have you considered the option that we might not want her to be a girlboss? 😭

#alicent hightower #hotd #anti team black #we love her because we love tragedy #how hard is it to understand #like please i don't want her to be a 2019 hashtag girlpower character #she's sad her mental health is crap she makes shit decisions and goes crazy #that's enough for me

first post but i just saw this on a youtube video about how tony was a terrible person. like why post this on the video when u know the people seeing it would be people who don't like tony. also like all of these points can be easily debunked cause they don't make any sense at all. this person is acting like everything good n progressive that happened in the mcu was down to tony n no one else did anything productive which is not true as well. i just don't understand the point of this comment so enjoy looking at this :)

#anti tony stark #anti tony stans #anti ironman #anti team iron man #what goes through their brains when writing things like this #i will never understand iron man/tony stark fans i swear #have fun experiencing the mental damage i went through guys #honestly made me laugh tbh #pro team cap #pro captain america #please someone debunk these so i don't have to pls im begging

it really is so interesting to watch people fandom wise in terms of their stances go from “huh that’s a slightly different interpretation that’s neat” to “okay that’s kind of a weird take” to “alright bad faith mischaracterization” to “you’re criticizing this character for traits they don’t even have” to “you clearly resent and/or hate this character (even if you won’t admit that you do) for weird personal projection reasons” in real time

#fandom nonsense #like the blatant anti buddhism attitude in the atla fandom that gets hurled around in the way ppl take about aang YIKES #viren harrow rayla ezran & callum probably get it the worst in about that order #OH AND AMAYA TOO SOMETIMES #like most of my fandoms when they had a Weird ass stance on a character it was like #the last two so i never got to see the evolution #so the evolution is interesting #as well as good to know shit never changes #there's always misogyny / racism / dehumanization / lack of understanding and/or awareness of mental health #and eurocentricity stacked on top #every time #'i just hate monarchies i'm not being racist i just think if white man viren was King all the issues would be fixed' #LIKE HMM. H M M #for rayla TTM was the watershed. either you get her or you don't. dear god

#religion talk up ahead mostly of the lds (mormon) church #but anyway if you post/reblog anything that's critical or demeaning towards the church i would appreciate if you tagged it #i understand and acknowledge and criticise the church for actions they've taken and words they've spoken #and know that several queer folk and people of colour have had negative experiences with it #organised religion will be corrupt #that is the way of men #however #i really love the gospel that it teaches #and it makes me sad when the men who lead the church misinterpret it #the church i was raised in and taught from gave me only positive experiences #even if i do not officially associate it i do consider myself lds/mormon because of my religious beliefs being heavily affected by it #i was not raised in a war or stake that preached hateful speech of any groups #and i am very thankful for this because i know others have #it comes down to experiences #but if you reblog anything that is demeaning or hateful towards the church i ask you to tag it #because i have to be in the right mental space for that lol #i do not ignore these things but i don't want them to be the first thing i see when i open my dash either #smth like anti-mormon or exmo #i have those blocked

I just recently found out that Alexis and Jared actually posed for cutesy couple pics to promote the 5th season of Gilmore Girls (somehow I missed this at the time as I was obsessed with Luke and Lorelai) and I actually think ASP/the WB wanted us to....root for them? The show initially backs away from framing their "affair" as a grievous mistake by a delusional Rory and frames it as a love affair. They exchange I love yous, Rory plays their "special" song (gag me), Lane is absolutely giddy over their reunion and doesn't care that Dean's married. Rory was confused less than twenty four hours ago but now she LOVES Dean and Dean LOVES her and she goes to talk to him about it and they have sex again because she just can't help herself and Lorelai is the mean, mean authority figure who has to point out facts and who Rory freezes out for months because she's ruining her buzz, even though she leaves thr country the next day. And despite the fact that we see that Dean is verbally abusive to Lindsey and that he is lying to everyone and despite the fact that he never does a single thing to indicate he actually intends to leave on his own, Rory is written as the one who's not worthy of him because she "abandoned" him. And she doesn't regret it, they make sure to let us know that she wrote a break-up letter to him telling him how "special" their 45 second coupling was and how she's not sorry it happened.

I honestly think someone behind the scenes thought the audience would see this whole turn of events as sweet and destined to happen. The majority of hardcore Dean fans hate him during this era, even now, so I don't think it worked. And to this day I don't think ASP understands how horrible Dean comes off to the audience most of the time.

Oh, well. If they did have fans that rooted for them I'm sure they enjoyed their dating relationship falling apart after two minutes because Rory got bored.

i can't Not take your little "haha ew men" jokes to heart when 2 thirds of the people laughing along with you in the notes are terfs

bioessentialism is still shit even if it's for laughs/satirical/pwning the patriarchy or whatever your little excuse du jour is

#i am begging y'all to understand that the LGBTQ community isn't woman fem & non-binary only #''oh you must not care about women if you don't like anti-men jokes" #i can not even begin to explain to you how well my fist fits on your face #learn to cope with shit like a normal fucking person #''oh men have hurt me a lot so it's ok it's my trauma response'' #ok. every single person who has caused me the most harm in life has been a woman. do you see me being a misogynist ? #your revenge mentality is getting you nowhere have a glass of juice and calm down #also no matter how many little 'but not trans guys ! i'm not saying that about transmascs !' disclaimers you half-heartedly throw around #you're still insinuating that people of my gender have no value and deserve no respect #do you think maybe that sounds familiar ???

[robzombies-hotwife]

Not "pro self-diagnosis" or "anti self-diagnosis" but a secret third thing (while there's nothing wrong with doing your own research and using it as a useful tool to find coping strategies to make your life easier, along with making you a stronger self-advocate during the diagnosis process, mental health is complicated and many conditions overlap in ways the average person cannot understand, particularly when you factor in family history/trauma/lifestyle/etc. so maybe see a psychiatrist before you diagnose yourself with a life-long neurodevelopmental disorder or other serious mental health condition and then use your incorrect self-diagnosis to spread misinformation about it)

#'i'm a minor and my parents won't let me see a psych!' this is a valid reason for self dx but you still shouldn't make it your identity #and you especially shouldn't be spreading misinformation online about it #also even actually diagnosed people shouldn't make a condition their identity #because MANY mental health conditions are temporary and can go away with short-term meds changes in life circumstances or therapy #'i don't have money for a psych!' and that's upsetting but you still shouldn't be spreading misinformation online about x diagnosis culture #or taking resources including public advocacy opportunities from people who actually have the condition #please understand that your behavior actively affects public perception of people who actually have the condition you claim to have #'that's not fair!' i never claimed it was. the medical industry is fucked up and financially inaccessible to many people. #but removing the legitimacy of a medical education is part of a larger culture of anti-intellectualism in this country #where everyone thinks opinion = expertise

[traumacodedtransbitch]

I don't hate my sister. Because I don't have a sister.

#there i said it #it breaks my heart but with how rampant the desire to eradicate trans people is #unless how i hear that she's trying to change #this is what she's contributing to #vent #i needed to vent so much #rant #transphobia tw #mental illness #trauma #abuse tw #i tried to understand her #but i don't want to have her in my life unless she wants to change #it shouldn't be my responsibility to try and help her #clearly since she always seems to shrug off responsibility on others and still get so fucking annoyed #personal #anti terf

if you don't think the designs are bad then why don't you like them??

lol Gods this is such a post-2016 tumblr ask 😂

I dunno, buddy, maybe because sometimes people just don't like things, and they don't have to make a big moral crusade out of it?

I just don't vibe with the designs, that's literally it. They just don't do it for me.

context

#yeah I don't like the song ''Hayloft'' either #because I find the singer's voice grating personally #that doesn't mean I think she's a *bad* singer or person #just that her voice isn't to *my* taste #this is what happens when you apply morality to dislike/disgust #you become incapable of understanding that sometimes you can just not vibe with things and that doesn't mean it's *bad* #anti bs #just anti things #proship #I'm including those tags because this ask feels *very* anti-adjacent #like maybe the Helluva Boss character designs aren't *all* this anon is talking about here lol #''the only reason someone could dislike something is if that thing is morally reprehensible'' is such anti mentality

[doctorcollege]

im so sorry if this doesnt make any sense i just woke up but i had a dream that ur anti and i were in a psychiatric facility together except all of the dream was realistic but him. like everyone looked like a real person meanwhile he was still just ur drawings of him copied and pasted into a real life background

i keep forgetting to answer this because every time i try i am unable to think of how i'm even supposed to Respond as truly absolutely nothing i say here could possibly be funnier than this ask on it's own

#the mental image of 2 dimensional antiepticeye and You in a psychiatric hospital together is so fucking funny to me you don't understand #i am so sorry that you had your dream invaded by my anti of all people. truly a traumatizing event i'd imagine #anti #i am printing this ask out and pasting it to my wall i'm never gonna be able to stop thinking about this #the thought of you and anti in a mental hospital is already funny enough but the fact that he was just. a drawing. i'm going to die #ask #florenceisfalling #brody.txt

for the sake of my mental health tumblr needs to stop bullying people who can’t read/watch/play adult books/movies/tv shows/games

just because an adult likes kids shows or can’t watch something that would be considered “adult” doesn’t mean they’re “immature”, it sometimes means that sometimes, certain adult themes are too uncomfortable for them and they may feel only comfortable reading ya/watching cartoons/playing stuff like pokemon because it doesn’t make them feel bad about themselves or trigger them

like it doesn’t make you a bad person if most adult themes and subjects trigger you or make you uncomfortable as an adult, it just means you’re probably more sensitive to these things or you have comprehension problems which, both aren’t flaws, they’re just disabilities and disabilities don’t make you a bad person

#ableism for ts #yeah yeah i'm gonna be called an anti intellectual whose everything wrong with entertainment but i don't care. i want to be able to watch #preschool shows and play children's games or ya centric games or shows without feeling like i'm intellectually inferior despite being TESTED #as having high comprehension skills for my age #it's not that i don't understand difficult subjects its that difficult subjects make my ocd really bad and i need to avoid triggering things #like homophobia or transphobia or the existence of bigotry in general because it just makes me feel like i have to have the weight of the #world on my shoulders and i shouldn't have to justify myself and me being mentally ill because 'ocd isn't a SEVERE mental illness'

#gogol bordello #jello biafra #dead kennedys #ukraine #fuck putin #I am very happy to see that Jello supports Ukraine! I had the impression he'd be a chomsky-ish leftist anti nato idiot #but I was so wrong luckily. after all he wrote Holiday In Cambodia which makes fun of leftist bullshit as well #and Nazi Punks Fuck Off #he knows what's right and wrong and he knows totalitarian systems are shit. not just some but all #ruZZia included. unlike uh italian musicians&artists who are all chomsky-ish leftists fake pacifists anti nato #who have no idea how war happened and who's to blame...they are so sensitive and so sorry for everyone #and basically they either don't give a shit about ukraine or they are critical about it all bc they're part of our leftist society #which is influenced by ruzzian propaganda since decades and they don't even realize it. so if it's america bombing some country #they are very angry and they totally know who's the aggressor #but if ruzzia does they really don't understand how it's possible that such things happen #fuck them #both mainstream and alternative ones. it's the same anyway. same mentality #nazi punks fuck off #totally dedicated to them...especially the alternative ones who should support freedom but nope

Had to come home from Joe's a whole hour early because his friend who came over to visit gave me an anxiety attack just by talking and being in the same room. I am THAT bad with new people.

#joe did warn me that not everyone got along with this guy #he isn't an asshole but he is very assertive #and he made one too many comments that made me feel uncomfortable #at one point he went into detail about another friend's anti-semitism which made joe start picking at his fingers again #which he hasn't done in almost a year #and my brain latched onto these things and marked the friend as a 'danger' #which isn't fucking true at all - i'm just super fucked in the head #i tried to make it clear that the friend can stay and that this is all a personal problem #i don't want to be a wedge in their friendship - especially since the friend needs a place to stay #just need time to reset #joe understands (because he's a saint) but it's still bothering me... #mental health adventures

Feeling very confused™

#sabi's words #Idkwtf this is cause it's different from when depression makes me lose interest in things but somehow! I'm disinterested in all my hobbies! #Gaming baking coloring fandom you name it #Why! Why! Genuinely why! I don't understand! #Like.Am I turning into some boring adult who only knows how to work study and think of finance and read nonfiction?NO I DON'T WANT THAT #I wanna keep enjoying fandom and new stories and new characters and I wanna play new games and I wanna bake new stuff but I'm just! #Unmotivated and uninterested as fuck ! #AND IT'S FRUSTRATING! #AND THE THING IS!? #I've gotten the hardest-to-manage classes for this summer esp bcs of the age range and the classroom I've been assigned to but somehow? #My brain went like 'I'll take this on as a challenge' instead of breaking down and being sad n begging my boss to give me a different class #Like.?honey.?what's going on up there? I'm anti capitalism why are you making me like working #(ik loving the mental reward of your job is different but lemme be dramatic)

The whole trans push came at a bad time when you'd respond to a comment with content of worth with male pronouns and they'd reply "thanks but I'm a girl"

Buddy, your profile icon and username are who you are to me. I don't give a shit what your body or mind is in real life, I'm telling you tech support info to make the driver work, I hang around dudes, no shit I used my default verbiage when communicating, do you seriously expect special treatment? Really? Right now when your nvidia drivers need updated? Really dude? Now?

#again #before the trans push #still happens but understand how little you're adding to the discussion #it's such a “me me me!” mentality #not the trans stuff #but the fact people were so immediete to be anti-s goes to show that tiny bit of dialogue did not help at all #and because someone will say it #it's not an immediete assumption of gender #it's called not giving a shit and speaking normally #as you would anyone #I'ma dude #likely trans #who hangs around other dudes #I'm not going to randomly use different pronouns because I don't give a shit #if it hurts ya of course I'll change it #but if it's not relevant actually shut the fuck up? #like #actually shut the fuck up #that is forcing shit on people #when a comment not about you is then made all about you #egotism as it's finest

[astraltrickster]

What frustrates me about disability advocacy is that...of all the people I've seen talk about it, 99% of them - even ones who are disabled themselves - have eventually proven that their support has limits. Really stupid and arbitrary ones, at that.

You support disabled people...but if you see an adult with a DIAPER BULGE in their pants in public it's ON SIGHT, get your kink out of my face! Actually, even if it's not a kink, that's still gross and, like, it's not like the diaper exists to CONTAIN waste, you're a biohazard! Just stay home!

You support disabled people...but, ugh, you're so sick of masks, they feel so icky, the CDC isn't advising them anymore so really how bad can it be, if you don't want to be permanently disabled even worse than you already are then why don't you just stay home forever?

You support disabled people...but if you see anyone using a non-conventional straw that someone's billed as "anti-aging" on TikTok you proudly declare that you'll smack them, because what do you mean it might be a motor control or sensory thing?

You support disabled people...but no one is REALLY so disabled that they can't manage their lights conventionally, clean their homes by themselves, or hold a pen for extended periods of time or at all; that's just something people make up as an excuse for Bad Tech and exploitative luxury services.

You support disabled people...but, god, control your by-definition-uncontrollable tics, they're SOOOO annoying and rude!

You support disabled people...but when someone stops masking or runs out of spoons and starts speaking in a choppy, hard-to-understand way, it's a joke.

You support disabled people...but AAC is, like, sooooo annoying and hard to understand, learn to talk like a normal person instead of pointing like a baby or whatever, geez.

You support disabled people...but you hate image descriptions and video transcriptions because they're, like, sooooo ugly and transcriptions SPOIL things. (Not to be confused with "frequently not having the spoons to translate images and videos into text, which is a skill; one which everyone should try to develop, but a skill nonetheless" - I get that, it happens to me, but if you take issue with OTHER people adding them to your posts for Aesthetic Reasons, you're...kind of a dick! I'm not sorry for saying it!)

You support disabled people...but you think teehee funny joke annotations are a much more valuable use of caption tracks than, you know, actual captions are.

You support disabled people...but you still concern-troll people with armchair diagnoses of heavily stigmatized disorders for harmless weirdness, or try to paint them as icons of some kind of horrible social ill.

You support disabled people...but you're still convinced that every asshole is mentally ill, probably A Narcissist, and what do you mean that's a loaded thing to call someone when a heavily stigmatized disorder is rudely misnamed as such too, isn't it easier to, like, change the name of the disorder throughout the whole system than it is to just stop using that word as your go-to Bad Person Pathologizing Word, which you definitely need? (Or worse, you see no problem with this clash because you're convinced it IS Bad Person Disorder...)

You support disabled people...but you see someone mumbling to themself on the bus and you get as far away from them as possible because it's "scary".

You support disabled people...but you constantly try to pull "gotcha"s about people telling you not to touch people's assistive devices.

You support disabled people...but someone being okay with their delusional disorder and talking about that is BAD and PROMOTING SELF-HARM.

You support disabled people...but your body positivity still focuses exclusively on "people can be healthy and fat at the same time!" as if people who ARE fat because of health issues and/or have health issues BECAUSE of their weight don't exist or deserve support.

You support disabled people...but you declare that advocates who want us all to have more access to things that improve your quality of life are the REAL ableists for acknowledging that those things that you currently can't do tend to improve quality of life.

You support disabled people...but your advocacy for yourself involves distancing yourself from people with more support needs than you.

You support disabled people...but you treat addiction of any kind, or use of anything with known addictive tendencies, as a moral failing.

You support disabled people...until the accommodations they need clash with your own, then it's not just a benign incompatibility that sucks just as much for them as it does for you; no, you are an innocent victim and they are a horrible ableist.

You support disabled people...until it's too inconvenient. Too weird. Too scary. Once that line is crossed, it's not a disability issue anymore, they're, conveniently, just a Bad Person.

It's fucking exhausting and I'm sick to death of it.

#disability #serious tag #bitching #and even after i posted this i keep thinking of more shit people have said #not gonna edit them in because this post is long and has already been reblogged a couple of times #but might keep track of them in the tags or add more in a reblog #because. i can keep going.
