#mean to people that arent in the group

[craycraybluejay]

Transphobes get off my blog, transandrophobes especially. In fact go hate queers with the evangelical white moms who have coincidentally the same talking points as you about trans men.

#the venn diagram between terfs and baeddels is a circle but no one wants to talk about that #because that would mean no longer using trans men as a silent punching bag the same way yall do with aro/ace people #except its worse because aro/ace people arent necessarilt dysphoric and you go out of your way to misgender/degender trans people #istg transfem baeddels hate me and people like me MORE than cis right wing extremists #which is crazy to me #how are you managing to outhate people whose entire identity is hate #leave trans men alone and stop re-enacting transphobic sexism genuinely what is your problem #insular microcommunities of hate often turn into cults (see: antis) #and you can say we're evil for being trans in the wrong direction but we are literally just living our lives and you are isolating yourself #in a community that encourages transphobia #and no doubt yall treat the Wrong Kind of trans woman or transfem like shit too #literally transphobe central on tumblr #transandrophobia #'im going to bully trans men because theyre the easiest group to bully and get away with it' #how are you different from literally every other person who promotes hate #i just know y'all bullied the 'slow' kid in school and went 'well im autistic or something and not Like That so its fine' #'he deserves it' #but he didn't. and you said he has it easier cause teachers pay special attention to him but he DOESN'T

it's crazy to me that there are people out there who still think that media and fiction do not affect how people think at all

#like that whole 'does fiction affect reality?' debate is so stupid to me cuz it's like #i mean just think about it for a second. what is propaganda? what did jaws do for people's perceptions of sharks? #i think studying the effect that popular media and fiction has on people in real life is really interesting #and it's crazy to me that there are people on the internet who think that it genuinely doesn't #like umm shoutout vit sisler for his paper 'digital arabs' i just read it for my game studies class and it's super interesting #about like orientalization how western shooter games' usage of middle eastern/muslim stereotypes as enemies created both a negative - #- stereotype for people who arent in that group and how it negatively affects the mental health and self-image of the people who are #also shoutout stuart hall and richard dyer they're really cool people and also have some super interesting papers on how representation - #- in media affects people's IRL perceptions of certain groups #i know online this focus tends to lean on that whole shipping discussion but i think it's more worthwhile to look at it on a wider scale #because 'does fiction affect reality?' is not just a 'fandom ship war' discussion it's like. the basis for many fields of study #anyways umm #liza post #actually this is more like a #liza ramble #i love tumblr bc i can write a one sentence post and put my body paragraphs in the tags #it's really late and i am tired ‼️ i wish i could be more concise i just adore my game studies class and visual culture studies in general

i just started the newest episode of d20 and i know that this isn't useful bc all of the episodes of burrow's end have already been recorded but @quiddie if you (or anyone else), for whatever reason, need to come up with more words for stoats, consider:

kijetesantakalu

#for those who dont know ''kijetesantakalu'' is a word in toki pona #which is a minimalist conlang with less than 150 words #most of the words have a very broad meaning (/can have several meanings) and are 1-3 syllables #meanwhile kijetesantakalu specifically means musteloid #the word was originally an april fools joke but is part of the official vocabulary #dimension 20 #burrow's end #aabria iyengar #toki pona #(if you wanna keep the phrase within toki pona you can maybe use ''kijetesantakalu kulupu'' which would mean ''group of stoats'') #(bc in toki pona there arent that many options if you wanna be alliterative) #(but if you wanna mix english and toki pona you can just go with ''kick-ass kijetesantakalu'' or something like that) #((also i dont actually know that much about toki pona so @toki pona people please dont come for me if i got something wrong)) #((ive just watched some jan misali videos ok))

this feels like an offensively bad way to divide these things

#in a number of ways. ehhh. #chief among them being 'middle eastern' being used at all #which as i grow older i have less tolerance to even pretending thats not a racist turn of phrase #but also. there are 'middle eastern' ethnic jews. that exist like as an ethnicity. #indigenous is so broad as to basically mean nothing. #ethnically jewish being a distinct category at all. these people are either white or they arent #depending on which group they're from. a large number of them are white. #i was going to keep complaining about other issues but i just realized: its a tumblr poll #and the fact that i politically take offense to my arab part being lumped in with #the part that was arabized . is like. nobody not involved in swana racial politics gives a shit

No your take on gay bars is wrong. Also gay men have a hook up culture whereas lesbians dont and require emotional connection.

lol.................... just walk away from me

#the gender strawman appreciator has entered the chat #idk something about being a girl is so emotions coded and being a man is so sex coded... anyone else? #not sure how this fake argument even matters when the definition presented means they would not be sexually interested in each other #do you think they cast like a sex spell at gay bars or #and again. if they arent welcoming they should be. you just chose to view this as an exclusive attack #also you can not tell me the vibe for every bar on earth and im not trying to argue that so drop it #also i think i left a lot of diplomatic leeway in my post i suspect youre a terf frankly #if not you sound like one. stop being sexist towards women with this reductivism it's not helpful. #if you think any [full group of people] does [thing you dont like] youre an idiot period the end #not how humans work maybe try thinking for two seconds or developing empathy #and i dont even mean in the touching brothership way i mean literally youre not at the understand stage yet #not even the acknowledgement stage #you are treating people like npcs

I need a good dnd group ‼️ but at the same time it needs to be in person, everyone has to be around my age, I need to feel extremely comfortable being myself around these people so they basically need to be really good friends already, I need to be a player, it needs to be a long campaign, and it has to have an intriguing and very specific vibe that I will like and the dm has to let me have decent creative liberty with my character.

God I don't know why that's too much to ask 🙄‼️

#im just so tired of online games. being the dm. everyone in the group being 30 years older than me. playing with strangers. #sick of short campaigns and people that arent as into the hobby as i am :( #ik ppl are busy but i just hate that some wont try to make time even tho i will clear every single evening i have if it means i can play #dnd #ttrpg #lee rambles

not one of my female co-workers glamorising sharia law countries bc she's dating an arab man. that just so happens to come from a filthy rich family 🙄

#having to defend the statement that saudi arabia is hell for women bc “maybe you're just prejudiced! you don't know how people live there! #how about we respect other cultures!” wasn't on my 2024 bingo card #sister. women arent legally allowed to leave the country without their male guardians permission what on earth are you talking about #insane to me how ppl genuinely believe it's a sign of respect to a group of people to justify brutal misogyny under the guise of culture. #respect for whom? surely not the average woman who lives there #she actually used the arguments that many westerners move there and live in luxury #which i should count as a point in saudi arabia’s favour i guess?? since i hold morally bankrupt western males eager to disregard women's #and gay people's rights if it means they can make blood monry off the backs of exploited people?? #in such high regard??

I have been. Struggling w tumblr lately and i am trying to work out Why bc this hobby means 2 much for me to let it fizzle out

#i have muse. i love these characters and i want to write them. #i talk ab them and scenarios all the time. what is the issue #i mean the issue is the actually writing part motivation is low #but i also think its just like. idk i feel like the rpc as a whole has changed and become. less of a community? #like finding new people to write with is so difficult bc no one talks to anyone new anymore #and starting to talk to new people feels so much harder than it used to and getting engagement is impossible #like i have a group of 5-10 people who r constantly showing up constantly trying and i love that i love you #but thats. thats such a small fraction of my mutuals. like whats the. why arent my mutuals willing to interact w me #like is this a me thing. is this happening to everyone or is it specifically something i need to work on #its so much worse on my other blogs its a vicious cycle of not writing bc theres no one to write w but no one new coming bc u dont write #its just. wheres the community gone #like i have over 300 followers. why do only 5 people want to talk to me

"oh, yeah," we think, "we could probably cross this over into Li nked Uni verse if we actually draw out the canon for long enough, smacking different versions of the same character into each other is always fun especially when it has the potential for massive cultural differences and shit like running into things where the thing that has been forgotten has significance beyond the things that are remembered. Hey, we should probably check the comic in order to comply with the six-month rule, we don't think we ever finished-"

We return from the reference images. We have remembered why we didn't finish looking into the base comic.

#we speak #negative chatter #moving one level of fandomization away from og LU to merely use them as inspiration for bootleg LU with more base game inspiration #we forgot why we had the author blocked. we remember now #we probably wont elaborate further on this because we keep a firm policy of not publically shit talking folk at random #we just kinda got Unexpectedly Sandblasted by them being weird abt furries&otherkin in a random twi light reference post #we are censoring this so it does not go into their tag btw! no one likes random shit talk and this is just us being vaguely pissy #the wording is vague enough that they feel like theyre like. they dont mean to imply they DISLIKE this group #they just find them strange and offputting and they strongly dislike that they project anything onto A Character #as we do not control their life and theres nothing we can do to force them to Not be uncomfortable or act Strange towards a group #all we can really do is like. scrunge up at an attitude we find it VERY difficult to mesh with and go our separate ways #the multitude of takes on these characters and the way that their fandom is so creative about them and produces so many different Ideas #is very fun! and we heavily enjoy reading it sometimes! however we cannot enjoy the base comic #because though we know that the author likely didnt intend it to come off like that and we know accusations of hate would be FAR too strong #we cannot shake the feeling that we are the sort of thing that they would look upon as a deeply offputting aberration #and they merely avoid voicing that out of a mix of manners and a wish to not get into discourse while hundreds of people are watching #so it is best to keep our distance where we don't have to be uncomfortable at the subtle bias that will pervade through all art #and they dont have to get grated against in ways that may negatively impact things from us having little shame in our existence #which is to say theres like a solid chance that the bias is not malicious and is in fact just like. lingering cultural bias type shit #however we arent gonna deal with that and us being a huge obnoxious weirdo might be liable to push them against us via abrasion #being exposed to smth more often can very easily actively push you against that thing by virtue of dislike of the people who like it #and though our individual action may not mean much in the scheme of things it will do less harm to both of us if we back the hell off #give that shit some time to soak without being prodded at too hard and hopefully someone else will be able to open the conversation better #because with bias especially you CANNOT break it down with one or two discussions #and you very much have to have the person with the bias willing to step back and examine that pattern of bias and unravel it #because if you go up at people like “this is WRONG and heres why” theyre far more likely to get defensive and feel attacked #and then double down because they feel attacked and don't want to give in to people who have been Nothing But Rude To Them #its a pattern of thought that can be a real bitch to deal with and we really arent capable of the subtle approach it requires to break thro #anyways. where were we. oh yeah we forgot why we blocked someone and now we're making a tumblr post about it

I think it's interesting that the terf was the one you were agreeing with, the terf who was defending your phrasing because you're right, the terf who agreed wholeheartedly with your original post, but it's the terf who gets mocked in your tags. Why is that?

I think we can understand that the target of anti abortion policy is women and it will murder thousands of women while also acknowledging that not all people who get pregnant are women.

#its like how police brutality is a black issue and it effects black people the most even though yes white people are also brutalized #by the police #its the sheer disproportionate number of black people in comparison to white people #that makes it a black issue #same with abortion #criminalizing abortion is femicide #but that doesnt mean that other people such as trans men arent also effected #rarely is any cause *just* a [insert oppressed group] issue #but it we don't acknowledge how it is a part of a groups oppression #we cannot get anywhere
