That post about cannibalism becoming too mainstream and destigmatized by certain sections of the internet and therefore losing its weight and horror and visceral nature just has me thinking about how HABIT ate a baby and everyone was like oh lmao he’s just an edgy cool guy!!!! He’s just like me fr!! Haha!!! Which. I think not enough people are freaked out by the fact that he forced Evan to eat his own child raw and possibly alive. He mentions “the bones” and implies that it took awhile. Like that wasn’t Hannibal-style Brioche With Baby Pâté and Shredded Zucchini in a Plum Vinaigrette, he just opened Evan’s mouth and bit down until the job was done, and I think that says a lot more about Habit than people want to examine. Idk it just. has me thinking. The number of times hurting children comes up in entries and supplementary materials about HABIT is kind of overwhelming, really. I’ve seen people talk about how they think he’d draw the line at hurting children, but the source material goes out of its way to state otherwise- just about every time he’s in contact with children they die. Or worse. He’s the summation of the worst of humanity, the combined aggregate of all of our flaws and crimes, and one of those crimes is cannibalism, so honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if he made a habit (ha) of it.

#he would not respect your pronouns he canonically made a man beat his own dog to death and he made Evan eat his own baby. #like maybe some people are not ready for horror media #maybe some people resort to making silly fun posts to cope but I think not enough people read his blog posts #they are genuinely horrifying and evil and so is he! #and that’s why he’s an insanely good villain! he’s so charismatic despite it all! #but god like. the fact that he was friends with Albert Fish. and Goebbels. #emh #idk ignore me I just think like. not enough people care about the violence done to women and children in emh and nobody wants to give it #the weight and meaning it was intended to have #if you don’t care about Jessa and Jess and Steph and the baby and the kids in the stories and Vinnie from the past it’s like. okay #nothing HABIT does will mean anything to you #because nobody you care about got hurt except Vinnie #it’s pretty telling. to me #everyman hybrid #everymanhybrid #cannibalism tw #I guess???? if you’re on here you probably don’t care but just in case

Like I don't Post about drama but vis a vis predestro's Tumblr ban, like. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing that we on the Internet have become so desensitized to threats of violence that we use them as jokes, but like.... That's been Tumblr culture for, what, a decade now? At least four years. Almost definitely longer.

And like. I've seen so much worse. Folks admitting to sending asks telling others to kill themselves!! Folks outright wishing x/y person killed themselves!!! Folks harassing trans folks (esp. trans women!)

But what gets this one lady banned was her man door hammer hand car boom-ass post???

Like, talk about enforcing the TOS from the wrong angle.

I totally get that part of it is "this person had their rule breaking reported en masse so something happened" but shouldn't the severity of the response have more to do with the severity of the offense, rather than how many people reported that user?

Like. The fact that we have to do mass reports to get anything to happen to anyone is ridiculous.

And, the fact that INCORRECT mass reports aren't punished more is also ridiculous.

There's also no report function for discriminatory content, or for seeing users harass each other. So... If you're not the one being harassed, your report does... Nothing??

Unless you, what scroll through someone's blog looking for things you could report as threatening violence??

On the "I hope every politician dies" webbed site???

There's obviously something fucky with their reporting system- either the way that reports are handled, or the way the severity of the reports are being judged.

Cause right now, it looks like they got a flood of reports from TERFs, photomatt saw a post about him, and went "well, fuck it, get her out of here" without looking at the context of HER BEING HARASSED FOR AGES. And that the post in question- the only one I saw shared!- was almost certainly a vent post for Said Situation that was...

Comically mishandled?

Like this one?

Like. Look. Do I think maybe at some point, on the "way too comfortable with violence on people I see as Wrong in some way" webbed site, a popular user said something that could actually be construed as a threat, and due to rampant transmisogyny got, got her shit reported?

Yeah, I can see that.

I don't follow her blog too closely, I know she does a lot of hyperbolic stuff. (as is Done on this Web site, again... I've almost certainly rb'd things just as bad)

But the example photomatt uses is hilariously bad and so obviously not a threat, and one would think, IN LIGHT OF THERE BEING ALLEGATIONS OF TRANSPHOBIA ON THEIR TEAM FOR YEARS, THEY WOULD BRING OUT A MORE CREDIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAN A LOONY-TOONS ASS DEATH WISH.

Just. The bar was on the ground and they still fumbled It! Fucking! Amazing!

#dragontalk #i don't like all her views on transandrophobia. but her takes on the ways trans women are policed are spot on. #but seeing this shitshow is wild! I've followed thia lady for ages and she's like. Intense but fine? #again. i don't follow her blog too closely! there might be more harsh shit that I'd never seen! #but. mostly i see a lady who's had to fight constantly. in a way lots of trans women have. to be taken seriously. #not as a threat. not as a joke. not as a hypothetical. but as a person! who's experience this like. #really shitty intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny and probably regular misogyny and like. l #i think most of us would get pretty snippy at that point too #and given we exist in a culture way too comfortable with wishing violence on people... yeah. #most of us would have wished ~someone~ got hit with a falling grand piano or an anvil or stepped on a rake so hard they died #just. truly wild times we live in. #maybe i should start a collection of 'this post wishes violence on someone' #maybe even narrow it to 'violence on someone who hasn't upheld state sanctioned violence during their life' #to cut out the ronald Reagan margeret thatcher queen lady ass violence wishes #which i can't even bring myself to care about. and that says something about me o don't think i like. but like. #but at the aame time too much colonial ass violence in this world. I'm Tired.

thinking about what rubs me so wrong about the writing of furiae really felt like "woman who really only has control over her own mind and fantasies, hardly unable to do anything than what's expected as her both as a goddess and a woman" and how the way the staff viewed the writing of furiae as "woman who can't do anything"

I feel like Tadashi really summed it up good in this passage here

#gu6chan's musings #drakengard #furiae Drakengard #hot take i suppose but it makes so much sense looking at woman later in the series that their writing isn't based in anything actually HUMAN #so much as 'subversive of ORDINARY woman' without consideration of where any of that is routed #kainé; A2; Zero; etc. CLAIM to be subversive - 'what other jrpg woman has masculine-like violence and swears a lot' #but they're all surmountably treated as jackoff material at the end of the day; regardless of how 'progressive' their narrative treats them #that women's 'worth' by the series creators is really only seen in how 'subversive' they can be while still being comfortably appealing #and the only one whose main point of terror and tragedy LIES in the terror of being forced into submission; objectified and being unable to #do anything for herself because of that is viewed as 'plain' and 'annoying' and 'boring' makes a lot of sense and it's so..... #the moment it comes to that being treated as a subject of terror and discomfort on the behalf of the people DOING it it becomes an issue #otherwise they just slap a 'oh she's INDEPENDENT and sticks up for herself which is better than a LOT of women but that's all in a way that' #'she looks and acts in a baddy way where *I* can still feel comfortable objectifying and jacking off to her at the end of the day' #anyways many thoughts I'm taking a shower #maybe ill ramble about how they got seere wrong next too lmao

immortal days women are so diverse and interesting genuinely. it feels like their most common trait aside from ‘being a woman’ is ‘being into women’ also which is definitely a bonus

#also like how they get to be just as violent as the male characters even when their role in the plot isnt one that would normally involve #violence. like ekin gets hit and we get the little box with ‘ekins actually a trained boxer lol’ in it as she fights back and then we got #karl as the classic ‘civilian gf of runaway mafia heir’ but when ashas in trouble instead of sitting back and letting other people handle it #she calls her own troubleshooter and then shows up to the fight and kicks ashas mom in the head. fucking fantastic #and then matilda is like the classic feminine fighter of the troubleshooters but also shes six feet tall and shows up to a party in a suit #and calls a girl she barely knows ‘babe’ #kan onix is also there but shes a cop so. #and i cant talk about hira because i would just go on forever and ever! and then id bring matilda back into it too and we would be here all #night :) #no but like kinda early on i was like huh maybe hgg thinks women are people… #did not know how right i was #mine #immortal days

thinking abt (1) that post abt how most censorship is preemptive self-censorship¹ (2) bras²

⸻ ¹ wow, tumblr search actually worked for once??? ² i do understand and respect that for many people bras serve an actual structural function wrt support/comfort! however, for many other people (hi!) they do not, at least in everyday non-sports contexts, and that's the set of concerns i'm speaking to here.

#i mean for me personally it's also like. sometimes/often/always i don't want to have visible tits‚ for Gender Reasons #so rendering them more compressed & visually ignorable is a move in the right direction #but that's sort of seasonal (which sounds insane‚ but‚ idk‚ in the summer the visible body hair helps balance out the visible tits???) #so it's like. objectively very obvious that i ought to go braless more in the summer #when it would bother me less visually and dramatically increase my comfort levels #and i do‚ in the house! but like. when i go out i still feel the need to render myself Presentable and i'm mad about it #bc like. yeah it's partially a trans desire to hide my chest but like. is that actually separable from the way women are socialized #to manage their breasts to HOA-approved standard or else open themselves up to a whole gamut of inappropriate treatment. (no.) #and so it's really just like. reimposing many different shades of cisheteropatriarchy on myself simultaneously #but unfortunately the only way out is to just. accept all the bad reactions i'm living in fear of. but those DO feel bad! #as always it's like. hard when yr self-protective conditioning isn't serving you wrt being a free person #but IS a rational reaction to the hobbled reality of yr actual existence… #like. easy to say 'just ignore those worries.' and maybe i will‚ at least in the context of like. casual public appearances #but like. even if the material consequences are unlikely‚ for me‚ to be more than unpleasantly judgmental stares— #that's still a real emotional consequence that has an impact on my well-being! but so does the self-censorship. #anyway. too many tags & no novel insight. just like. sux lol #(also usually on here i omit any discussion of Tit Management Issues bc it's my space where i get to pretend not to have a body) #(but like. that's self-censorship of a kind too.) #embodiment (is violence)

[karmaphone]

can u imagine if they tried to make atla today. 'yeah here's my pitch about a child who has the weight of the balance of both the physical world and an ethereal spirit world on his shoulders on top of being the last survivor of a literal genocide. yeah he's spiritually enlightened already in a non Christian religion, and reincarnation happens to him and him alone. yeah no the show's major themes are about how war and imperialism are bad for everyone involved, including the world around us. no, there'll still be cool fight scenes but it will also fundamentally explain the difference between defending oneself from an oppressor vs using that power to oppress and how even children can grasp that- where are you going'

#not to mention the backlash I'm sure they would have gotten for the 'feminist agenda' like looking specifically at katara & how the northern #water tribe and even sokka learning to respect women juice I can HEAR the outcry of subverting male power for fake female empowerment #or what fucking ever #don't even get me started on the racial aspect I had to hear about that enough growing up #like 'hey here's my series about No White People whose main messages fly in the face of American culture' #I'm not like 'wau things were better then!!1!' I know it contributed to the normalization of feminist viewpoints and the idea that maybe you #don't actually want to be part of the war machine #im just saying considering the level of fan engagement and social media I can just imagine the backlash they would get for making it today #like? the hama episode????? I DOUBT they could have gotten that passed today #literally the entire episode where they explain zuko's scar I don't think they would have gotten away with such a direct portrayal of #physical child abuse without changing the rating of the whole show #in fact all of the child abuse presented. everything that zhao did to zuko. everything that general did to katara to get aang Triggered #the blind bandit fights I can see passing bc it's like wwe and not real violence but like child kidnapping?? at the direction of the parents #how did this show get approved for 10 year olds is all I'm asking I'm NOT complaining I'm genuinely exuberant it exists im jus stymied lmao

Nobody asked but white supremacy is the reason why white women are obsessed with true crime.

So when chattel slavery was becoming cemented in the United States and other European areas, the idea of biological race and racial hierarchy emerged to justify the generational enslavement of Africans and the genocide of indigenous people. Africans and other non-whites were labeled as less developed, more susceptible to their "primal urges" and committing sex crimes and therefore needed to be controlled by white men. Specifically to protect white women.

White supremacy is typically framed as necessary to 'protect' (read: control) white women, the mothers of the next generation of whites. They must be protected from "sexually voracious black men" (read: miscegenation and mixed race children). So white supremacy operates on the myth that white women are constantly under threat of sexual violence and must be protected by white men.

That myth becomes baked into the public consciousness, many unaware of the origin or even that the idea is there. It even becomes less racially based, but there is still a common belief that white women are inherently vulnerable to violent crime. Especially among white women. To be fair, it's difficult to not internalize an idea that you are not exactly aware of but is still seeped in every interaction and bit of advice. Don't wander off, don't talk to strangers, don't go out alone or late at night, cover your body, hold your keys between your fingers, take self defense, watch your drink, don't be under the influence. Your body is soft and valuable and delicate and you must protect it.

This idea of vulnerability is reinforced in the news media, which chooses to focus on stories which fit this particular narrative of white women's vulnerability. Missing white women syndrome. This subconscious belief has saturated society. White women develop an outsized fear of death by violent crime. So what do they do? They embrace it. They eat up stories of families like theirs and the deaths of women like them.

It's been suggested that experiencing that fear of violence in the controlled environment true crime provides can be cathartic, somewhat like watching a horror film. There is also a sense of justice and closure felt when the perpetrator of that crime is punished.

In conclusion; White women love true crime because it's a coping mechanism for their deeply embedded fear of violence which was established and is upheld by white supremacy.

#statistically white women are the least likely to be victims of violent crime. they can be and all victims need support but white women are #just not as vulnerable as society makes them out to be. and it becomes the standard of behavior and treatment for women of all races #women don't need control and protection they need empowerment and for men to treat them like goddamn human beings. #i kno im using binary language but u tell me how to better word this. the binary is fake tho. all the little stranger danger things got to #me. walk away from the street don't walk too close to unknown men I'm not afraid of my community!!! no one should be!!!! #we should not fear each other. i understand that violence and assault are real things that happen to people all the time but it's much more #likely to happen to men and women of color. they deserve love and support and real effective change. and white women shouldn't have to #be afraid and feel vulnerable. we need legitimate efforts to address and prevent random violence #not fearmongering and the offloading of responsibility onto potential victims. anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk #why am i talking #maybe I'll use this one day #i wrote this at 2am don't @me. i am right tho. i also like me some ethically filmed #true crime content. it needs to be tasteful though. and people need to be normal about it.

pls dont kill me but i gave bottoms a 3.5/5 on letterboxd

#talking about violence against women with men is so exhausting #always having to reassure them no no haha not you of course or anyone we know haha just other men #like it isn't statistically likely that it's them or their friends or brothers or fathers #but mention that it might also be someone they know and like and watch how fast they do a 180 #'Oh well that was a different situation' IT WAS STILL VIOLENCE #or even worse 'yeah well what am i supposed to do that's just how it is' #you know what. maybe truly everything is lost. I don't want to believe that but with how often i have now heard men be defeatist #or straight up claim it's not a problem at all idk what to do anymore. #Girls learn how to rip a man's testes off and how to break a nose I guess #and i'm not putting the usual disclaimers here bc i'm tired of it i put so many disclaimers for friends colleagues and family and in the en #it's all just so they can lean back and say 'but not me though' like ok cool wish that could be me but can't #anyway rant over and if i see a terf or Classical Radfem or political lesbian on this i block on sight this is just for me and my 5 followe

being punk and seeing fictional punks get mistreated and thrown around as if their fundamental beliefs aren't *that* important has been a new pet peeve of mine. Like I don't even ship with them (yet.) but ultimately I end up being defense squad bcus fictional punks can't have shit without people eventually removing their beliefs from them 🗿🗿🗿

"control, baby, it can be controlled. so give me back the story." well that's crazy!

#hate how badly my seminar for this flopped no one wanted to actually like. talk about it #not even my professor 😭 after like ten seconds of silence he was like yeahhhh I'm not putting this on the syllabus next year 😕 dude... #ok I guess that's not true it's more everyone wanted to talk about it against a very particular framework which i didn't necessarily #disagree with it was just like. very decisive and I felt like it instantly closed any proper discussion we could have had #especially because the professor (who is great! and again I don't disagree w the interpretation!) himself was like oh yeah this book sucks #and is deeply conservative and we can acknowledge that #and it's like ok but maybe we could still talk about it. and talk about it a bit beyond that or in more depth #also this is something that has annoyed me about him before he has this really frustrating perception of themes surrounding women #and violence against them/misogyny/etc as like. trite and banal #like w rosemary's baby. he's like oh that's obvious we don't need to talk about it. #like. ok. I don't understand why ever ever dissecting how women are framed in a story is so boring for you #he almost always uses racial frameworks to discuss and I think that's extremely valuable #and important to the works we look at but like. why is that always deep and interesting and revelatory but #discussing women (or hatred of women) is innately shallow. :/ #sorry that's only very tangential to what I quoted it's just something I've been thinking about a lot since the start of term #especially after rosemary's baby. like I'm sorry not talking at all about female autonomy etc during that was insane.

'this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation' sounds like the kind of exaggerated, colorful complaint that I associate with like, modern-day internet humor, but when hear see it in context it's completely different. jack's voice is breaking, he's holding back tears. the pain in his delivery of that line is starkly audible. this is at the end of nearly two decades of seeing ennis only a few times a year, and just hearing that ennis has to cancel their next meeting. he's at the end of his rope, and he's ready to break down. as much attention as "I wish I knew how to quit you" got, I think this is the line that stays with me for the sheer emotion in its delivery

#I wish I knew how to quit you is legendary for good reason tho #and the fact that jack is cheating on his wife with another woman means he's TRYING to quit ennis right? #on some level he just wants to be happy with a conventional lifestyle with a woman #but it's not working for him. that's not who he actually wants and he can't change that no matter how hard he tries #it's sad! it's really sad! #and ennis is obviously afraid of being outed and terrified of dying the way the old man did when he was young like he's obviously #traumatized too. and sure maybe he could have left his family after the divorce and moved to texas #but wouldn't that miss the point? homophobia ruins people's lives #jack is angry that ennis refuses to move #but it's not ennis's fault he may be murdered if people suspected and he's not wrong to be concerned about that #it's a commentary on a wider social issue that ALSO leads to that rage in him that brings him to violence #they could have said more about income inequality and poverty too but that's not the focus of the film #even tho imo it's a really big part of the story and the things that factor into ennis's situation #if he was independently wealthy he'd have more freedom #furthermore if they were women their movements and lives would be far more tightly restricted #bbmtn lb
