#on here it’s occasional terfs but they are flooded

[kit-screams-into-the-abyss]

hello tumblr. here is stuff about this blog ig

terfs and proshippers/tcesters do not touch this blog. you are not allowed within fifty feet of the premises

i’m gonna be honest i only made this tumblr bc it started hiding the reblogs from people who didn’t have accounts. aka me. i couldn’t figure out how to get past that so my days of lurking are over

mostly this will be filled with reblogs of fandom things: owl house, rottmnt, hermitcraft (and other mcyt, chronic grian enjoyer here tho) make up the majority of those, however amounts of any fluctuate depending on my mood and when that brainrot hits. so if you follow me and your dash gets flooded with like 10 posts of funny turtles in a row out of the blue you know what’s up. conversely, i will watch something, intensely scroll through its tag in one session, reblog exactly one (1) post about it with a tag implying i will continue, and then never mention it again. you know how it is

once in a blue moon i will post the occasional arts :] you can see those in the #kit does an art tag!

if you have put something nice in the tags of my art i have seen it :] i have cherished it :] i will be rotating it in my brain for the rest of time :]

(i do reblog the occasional hermit/trafficship content but it’s purely of the characters they play and not the ccs themselves! i started tagging them for blacklist but have since given up. oops)

#will anyone read this? no #ppl from dA hello there #kit says things

🌊   Welcome to the island~ here’s my intro~ 🌊  

🐺 Greetings, hello, hi! I am Tala! You also may have heard of me as Grunge. This is my personal blog for my relationship with my spirit husband. Commonly known as Alhazad/Alhazred. (Google him.)

🌌 I am a real whole ass adult. If this bothers you feel free to block me. I don't care. Spam me with bullshit judgy things and mark my words you will step on a Leggo every night for the rest of your life :)

🎸 I draw and paint. Quite a bit.

💫 Alhazad is one of the main antagonists of Wild ARMs. He’s also the infamous Alhazred. We’ve been together since 1999. He occasionally goes by the name “Aubrey” in other corners of the internet. If he's pissed you off for whatever reason; - He Doesn't Care. He's probably cackling about it.

❌  DNI ❌  

❌  If you’re here to start shit. Or be a passive aggressive coward who has nothing better to do with your time. I’m a good dog. But if you start shit with me you will regret the day you crawled out of your mother’s womb.

❌  It should go without saying; MAPS, pedos, zoos, Nazis, TERFS, and any other sort. Fuck off.

❌ I am not pro/anti anything. I've just too fucking old and have far-too-many-other problems. If fiction affected reality I would have flooded the world two decades ago. Common sense isn't very common though. Bite me.

[chronically-jinx]

Howdy, welcome to the pinned post. My (nick)name is Jinx and you've stumbled across my stupid blog. Here's some stuff about me:

I'm disabled, I have a movement disorder and while my condition flexes, I've been told in no uncertain terms that there is no cure for me.

I am also very hard of hearing which, I'm told, counts as a disability as well but I think this is peak human performance because i can just take off my hearing aid and stop hearing people's bullshit.

I'm also chronically ill, I have a list of other stuff wrong with me, including but not limited to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), unrelated severe allergies, scarring in my sinuses, essential tremor, functional pain syndrome, etc.

I am a bisexual transgender male. My pronouns are he/him or they/them. If you're a TERF, if you're transphobic, homophobic, racist, fascists or a pedophile/"MAP", YOU AREN'T WELCOME HERE. IF I FIND YOU ON MY BLOG, YOULL BE REMOVED (maybe even removed from life :) )

I have a tendency to get absorbed into one Fandom or another. Stick with me, I promise I won't flood your dash.

Perhaps I will post some art here someday as I make a lot of it.

TLDR; Jinx, 21, He/Him/They/Them, very sick, somewhat disabled. A general disappointment who gets stuck on Fandom and occasionally posts memes or art. ok love u bye

regarding cults and cultlike communities (and how easy it is to get sucked in)

(My authority: born & raised in a very cultlike church of only 20-ish attendees, a lot of research attending the departure from that church)

a person i follow reblogged a post today to respond to the OP’s open question: were they vulnerable to being sucked into a cult? and I wrote up this longass response to send to OP but then felt it was .. well. long. so I’m making it into a separate post instead of flooding a stranger with words they didn’t ask for.

tl;dr: Q: are you vulnerable to being sucked into a cult or cultlike community? A: IMO: almost definitely yes. (we all are.)

cults and cultlike communities suck in vulnerable people looking for safety, camaraderie/a social circle, a meaning for their life, an explanation for their trauma, etc etc by promising to provide the thing they’re looking for.

the insidious thing is that cults actually do provide the intangible desired thing, usually. Friends? a cult is a ready-made social circle. a meaning to life? cults certainly will give you a purpose for living. A reason for your trauma? A cult will tell you who to blame for everything wrong with your life. Safety? well - they’ll convince you that everyone outside the cult is your enemy/untrustworthy down the line, but the good news is you’ll feel safe in your cult space.

Once a cult inducts somebody by filling their emotional or social need, what entangles members isn’t usually an instant, deep loyalty to The Cause or The Leader or whatever. It’s community and the sense of belonging it engenders.

With increasing quickness, the cult community creates the sense of being a member of the ‘in’ group. you and your cult friends are In the Know. people outside your group are ignorant of the truth. And because of this, it doesn’t take long for a new person to feel that they can’t have true friendship with people outside of the cult. they can never be fully honest with them (unless they’re interested in joining).

outside friendships fall away. now you have no meaningful social circle outside the cult, putting you into a social echo chamber of people who all believe the exact same things and raising the stakes of leaving the cult. where would you go? you have no other real friends.

At this point a person is pretty well ‘in’. if it’s a true cult, this is where your investment level means you’re ready to have your loyalty tested: are you willing to take the (economic/social/physical/faith) leap the cult is asking you to take, or will you turn back, be abandoned by everyone you care about*, and left alone and friendless?

(*because as you already know, people In the Know can’t really be friends with people who choose to not be In the Know. they’ll be forced to abandon you.)

basically: the choice about your willingness to bend to authority isn’t asked until the deck is heavily stacked against you. all your chips are on the table. you’ve invested almost everything. will you invest the last bit you’ve got? and if you decide ‘yes’ - which many people do, because where else can they go? - escape becomes nigh impossible.

the only sure(-ish) defense against getting sucked into a cult is satisfaction with your life: having self-assurance about your purpose, your choices, and your social circle, plus a sense of good health and economic security. hardly anyone has all these things at once.

because of this, it’s my opinion that literally everyone on Earth is susceptible to getting sucked into a cult. almost everyone has some emotional weakness, something that makes them feel inadequate or afraid: if a cult happens to hit on that Achilles heel, you’re vulnerable to them. and frankly: if you get sucked into a cult, it’s not your fault. cults are designed to recruit.

regarding cultlike communities specifically:

there are ‘cults’ that aren’t actually cults, just similar to them. true cults glorify and enrich a person, the leader; cultlike groups usually glorify an ideology.

the major commonality between cults and cultlike groups is that both demand/strongly encourage your loyalty above anything else: above your happiness, above existing friendships/social ties, and above human respect or decency towards others, particularly outsiders.

cultlike groups are more common than cults. they’re easier to escape in a strict sense b/c usually there’s no leader controlling the strings, sucking every dollar and moment of your life out of you, but the social investment can get very high and create high stakes to leaving the community anyway:

having been so utterly radicalized by the echo chamber of the cultlike group, their understanding of the world is alien to non-members; it takes a while to deprogram.

people who leave these groups can be sure of being vilified by their old friends & probably harassed, and 

they frequently have few friends outside the group to support their departure.

big, well-known examples of cultlike-but-not-strictly-a-cult groups include Radfems/TERFs/SWERFs, Christian Dominionism, & each individual alt-right white supremacist organization.

(the fandom cultlike baby of radfems and dominionism is anti-shipping/kink/’fujoshi’/nsfw, combining purity culture & swerf politics. the aphobic cultlike baby of radfem ideology is REG.)

you can watch your friends groups for warning signs of becoming cultlike* by asking yourself a few questions occasionally:

has my friendsgroup ostracized and turned on a friend when they said they didn’t agree with an opinion the rest of us held? was it a rapid/sudden turn without allowing any discussion or debate? was it so vicious it made me afraid to express a dissenting opinion?

do I feel pushed/goaded to dissociate from friends who don’t hold the same opinions as my main friendsgroup, even if it’s against my wishes? does my friendsgroup talk disdainfully of all people who aren’t in our group or engage in ‘us vs the world’ language frequently?

Realistically, is there anything I wouldn’t do in the name of protecting/advancing the beliefs of my friends? If I think there are limits on what’s okay to do on behalf of our beliefs, would my friends agree? Am I afraid to tell them I think there are limits?

If someone in my friendsgroup hurts me, would I be afraid to confront them? would I feel like I’m betraying my whole friend circle by saying somebody did something harmful? Would I be afraid of severe consequences, like having my friends turn on me, even if I was believed?

If the answer to these questions suggest that loyalty may be more important than being kind or respectful to one another in your friendsgroup, that’s a warning sign of toxicity and potentially cultish dynamics. D:

(*use your discretion, dangit. obviously this isn’t a 1:1 for-sure correlation to your friendsgroup becoming shitty.) 

and here’s some good reading on the subject of cults/cultlike groups:

How Good People & Well-Intentioned Groups Can Go Bad - i have some quibbles with language (it shows its age) but there’s a lot of good stuff in this article and these two articles about the cultish thinking that radicalized groups develop.

Dominionism Rising - focus piece on the cultlike ‘Dominionist’ movement that is (quietly) pushing an anti-Christian agenda in US Christian circles. shows how cultlike thinking can deeply influence less cultish circles.

We Need to Talk About the Radicalization of Young White Men and The Alt-Right is Recruiting Depressed People and The radicalization of white Americans on how cultlike alt-right ideologies recruit people into their ranks

Who’s Behind Newsweek? - A focus piece on The Community, a true cult glorifying David Jang as the second coming of Jesus Christ.

J.K. Rowling Has Had Just About Enough of the Transgender Radical Agenda

J.K. Rowling, one of the most famous and successful authors of the last twenty years, has previously dipped her toe into the transgender ideology wars before…if only barely. Rowling, nonetheless, attracted plenty of negative attention from Woke Twitter for even these minor forays into the Field of Wrongthink. Last year, hundreds of aggrieved Harry Potter fans threatened to burn their collections after Rowling weighed in on the controversial case of Maya Forstater, a UK woman who was fired after she said on Twitter that “men cannot change into women.”

“Dress however you please,” Rowling tweeted at the time. “Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?  #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill.”

Rowling didn’t respond to any of the consequent backlash, but she did occasionally emerge to retweet and “like” tweets from other feminists who don’t buy into the newfangled transgender doctrine. All of this Twitter activity – as muted as it might have been – got her labeled a TERF: A Trans-Excluding Radical Feminist. Other than “conservative,” we imagine this is pretty much the worst insult the trans-accepting left can come up with.

Rather than back down, though, Rowling is digging in. On Saturday, she tweeted out her clearest feelings yet on the matter.

“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” Rowling wrote. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”

She continued in another tweet, slamming the idea that both men and women can have their periods.

“‘People who menstruate,’” she tweeted, linking to an article using that phrase. “I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”

J.K. Rowling has said quite a lot in recent years that we disagree with, but it is immeasurably refreshing to see an old-school feminist with this kind of fame and prominence show this sort of fearlessness against what she knows will be an enormous flood of hate.

It seems almost unbelievable that it would be considered hate speech in 2020 to point out that there are innate differences between men and women that cannot be resolved through any “gender identity” belief, any change of clothes, or any surgery, but here we are. Good for Rowling for actually having the guts to say so.
