#this is a largely negative post

[throesofincreasingwonder]

You know what? I want a whole post for this:

Sex Repulsion is not the same thing as, or an excuse for, Sex Negativity

non-negotiable!

I am a sex-repulsed asexual. This means that I am uncomfortable and repulsed by the idea of engaging in sexual acts. This does not mean that I have an excuse to be repulsed by other people's sexual attraction or the right to police how other people engage in or express sexual acts or attraction.

Young queer people need to learn the difference between sex repulsion and sex negativity, and actively work to unlearn sex-negative attitudes. Asexuality, even sex-repulsed asexuality, is and should be fully compatible with sex positivity.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of other people feeling sexual attraction or engaging in sexual acts that do not involve you in any way, that is not sex repulsion it is the cultural Christianity and you need to seriously work on that.

#we as asexual people have got to have a talk about this because the shit i have been seeing is NOT okay #asexuality #sex positivity #this is largely intracommunity allo people can engage w/ it but don't be clowns #original post #500 #1k #PLEASE STOP TAGGING THIS AS 'CULTS' YOU CAN CRITIQUE A RELIGION W/O CALLING IT A CULT I AM BITING YOU #this barely even mentions Christianity like someone does not need to be in a cult to be sex negative. and also not all religions are cults #please be normal #other than that y'all have actually been very normal abt this one so far thank you #2k #5k

I say this in the kindest way possible, but I think this style of prose is more appropriate for a personal account rather than an update account. I have no idea who's being talked about half the time. 🥲

you know i think i had gotten kinda lucky finding so many great to ok totk reviews bc i went to search yesterday (my god is youtube shit at searches now man, i want to see stuff for what i searched for not 20 things other people watched) but there truly is some utter shit there

i went through some that boiled down to angry gamer mad about game (kinda glad really bc seeing someone that actually is like that it makes me feel less like im doing the same xD) one of which saying the only reason the building is in there is bc they were trying to copy ... FORTNITE??? and another ones big point was that .. the graphics and animations are the same which ... just sounds like one of those pokémon people angry that a new game doesnt redo every single model and animation for 400 NPCs

(also one with a one step away from porn thumbnail that later i saw someone else talk about and apparently og video was about zelda being ..... too ... woke ... actually made me a little curious bc what the fuck could possibly be woke in totk?? sonia having slightly darker skin????? but theres no way im giving someone like that views lol)

and a huge portion is videos making fun of bad reviews for totk ...... which i dont think i need to explain why thats not worth anyones time lol

i find it sad how hard it is to find more diverse kind of people making totk reviews since id love to hear someone that may understand and know more than i do talk about it, new perspective and all that (also since most reviews i found good are really taking everything at face value with no one really looking at how the whole hyrule kingdom vs evil desert man is kinda ... not cool) but then again i know how youtube can be and how extreme some hardcore totk defenders are so i probably wouldnt want to get into all that either :U

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #kinda #i did find a few from poc but they largely didnt really end up saying anything and were more of what the game is #or the audio was actively hurting my ears #i know not everyone can afford good audio equipment but theres a limit to what i can listen too #:( #im gonna keep looking every now and then and update the big post when i do find soemthign thats at least fine #i know it might sound like im obsessed with this but its just kinda good to hear others talk about it #and it can point out stuff i didnt realize before either #both positive and negative

Blog 1: lol anyone else seeing a lot of strawberries in new recipes now? sometimes its fun but i really dont get the appeal of adding it to everything. why did you make strawberry garlic bread

Blog 2: u kno im not a fan of strawberries, i really like the rich sweet and sour notes from oranges, oranges and chocolate is such a good combo. i altered a recipe for a smoothie with oranges last week and it was soooo good ill give you my notes if you want Reblogged by: Blog 1: ahaha yesss i love chocolate and oranges

Blog 3: I canNOT believe the hate im seeing to strawberries right now, like, you know guys know the rule don't like don't bake right?? you know you can hit the back button right?? honestly what's wrong with yall

Open draft- wait guys you know there's a difference between leaving a comment on a recipe saying you hate strawberries and the recipe writer should never use them, and going to your own blog to say you don't really like strawberries, without naming any specific people or recipes right? you know there's a difference right?? - Save - Post - Discard

Draft discarded

Blog 4: why is everyone jumping on the strawberry hate train right now. what is wrong with you. Reblogged by: Blog 5: I knowwww like guys some people stop baking because of reading things like that, please stop it, if you don't like strawberries you can be quiet about it

Open draft- im so sorry if anyone's getting sent mean messages or comments about what they're writing and baking, but i'm literally not seeing any of that and if you are, please use the block button. but someone making a post on their own blog is not that, and if you can't see the irony in you being allowed to complain on personal blogs but not them i can't help you... - save- post- discard

Draft discarded

Blog 2: are strawberries even in season?

Blog 6: woo cherry pie!

#trying so hard to be a blog 6 rn #im discarding those drafts #but clearly it has been too much for me as this one is getting posted #like i really am sorry if any. strawberry antis are directly being rude to anyone #that isnt ok #but i have seen zero of that on my dash or in the tag #i saw a few blogs saying lol they don't like strawberries #and then i saw a ton of blogs saying how dare there be any negativity at all #and seeming to act as if those blog posts were specifically about disliked fic authors i mean recipe makers #which... if any of them were... i didn't see it because of how i blocked large swaths of the fandom like three years ago #when i realized that it was determined to blow up a discourse topic every single month #and if there are people doing that. please. do what i did. block en mass #if you open a recipe that turns out to have strawberries in it and you cant hit the back button but instead leave a nasty comment that is a #you problem #but also if you see a random blog post about someone saying they dislike strawberries- hate strawberries even- and you feel personally #attacked and start crying about how now you never want to bake a strawberry shortcake again and they're so mean #that is also. a you problem. #'what fandom is this pocket' dont worry about it #not one i have any mutuals in #which. considering the mass blocking and the annoying chronic discourse explosions. perhaps is not surprising

THEY DONT KNOW IT'S AYIN

(instead of doing it in the tags/replies i'm just going to start posting every time i see a THEY DONT KNOW ITS AYIN post that is very much about ayin even though THEY DONT KNOW ITS AYIN)

#also this post is gehrman to me. #i hate when ppl try to make his feelings about maria less unsavory. #i think you should let him be creepy and weird and manic #if you're going to like his character you should like all of it. #and not ignore the parts of him that complicate him. #im a gehrman enjoyer btw! #im just also a maria enjoyer and a bloodborne lorehead atp #and for me his Maria Thing is kind of his one strictly negative quality...? #without it he's kind of largely a sympathetic victim of circumstance and i find that a bit boring. #i have a lot of headcanons about his Maria Thing and if i ever felt like writing fanfic again #tbh my n.1 interest would be to write a piece about gehrman / laurence / maria #their whole dynamic and what i think of it. anyways

“i hate children but—“ is honestly such an annoying fucking way to start a sentence . even if it’s saying that you’re still kind to them etc etc it’s still so weird to me that people constantly have to express their hatred for a group of people that have no control over being “annoying” or whatever makes people “HATE” them. like that is just such an unnecessarily strong word to use against the most helpless people among us imo. you can dislike children you can think they’re a bit much sometimes you can not want to be around them bc they stress you out . its good for people to know their limits so they’re not in situations where their stress would harm children !!but to say you hate them is so??? like obnoxious to me idk. also maybe it’s just bc i was an observant kid and am around observant kids but i feel like if you profess that you hate children constantly but “act nice” around they probably feel that hate . bc children know when they’re not wanted and guess what . it fucks them up like why would you add to that even minutely. maybe work on not hating vulnerable small beings instead of being so proud of it . it’s just unnecessary and annoying to me like okay . good for you ig

#this is kinda words recreationally like i don’t necessarily think it’s That Serious all the time #but i do think that little things add up #and the fact that it’s so acceptable to profess HATRED for an entire vulnerable group of people #is part (even if it’s a tiny part) of the large scale disrespect aduse and disenfranchisement of children #basically i think it’s over dramatic to say at best and actively harmful at worst #but idk #i just hate when there’s a post like about x topic . and so many people have to add on their little caveats and adjustments . like who care #s #that’s not really the point and the fact that you can’t see a post about literally just being nice to children without being like #me personally i HATE THEM is so 😭😭 #maybe have a little kid come up and hug you and show you a picture they drew for you and maybe you’ll chill a little…. #speaking as somebody who doesn’t want children and knows my limits and sets clear boundaries with the children in my life to avoid them #being negatively affected by any stress/overstimulation i feel #it’s weird TO ME how often this seems to be stretched to generalized hatred

i am on my hands and knees begging and pleading for queer people on tumblr dot com to learn to identify a psyop/cryptoterf when they see one

#multi makes text posts #i don't have any criticisms for the aro manifesto that no one's said yet #but truly. if this isn't a psyop. then it was written by fucking idiots. #discourse cw #negative cw #either it's a psyop or the people writing it need to apply for the fed #you're doing their job already. may as well. #(to be clear: being romance repulsed is not the problem here. #the problem is making broad strokes assumptions abt the queer community at large #and saying that romance as a concept is queerphobic bc some aros are romance repulsed. #you're either stupid or a fed. which is it.) #setting to do not rb just in case

the way tumblr talks about medicine makes me wonder how many of us here actually have critical thinking skills

#stop trying to explain shit you know nothing about so you can frame it negatively for clout!!!! literally knock it off!!! #there are so many valid opinions but i don’t understand this and therefore it’s bad “ is NOT one of them actually #fuck it’s far from perfect but seeing people talk about people I work with every day as if they’re monsters is honestly so tiring #it’s just all over my dash #if you read something and it confuses you and that makes you angry #the solution is NOT to make a tumblr post flaming it with all of your misinformation and undereducated opinions #“it is batshit to base dx criteria on statistics “ NO IT IS NOT NO IT IS NOT NO IT IS NOT ARE YOU STUPID??????? #THIS IS STEM LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS MATH WHAT THE HELL DO YOU M E A N ????? #literally like!!! 90% of dx criteria involves statistical probability!!!! doctors prescribe statins because you are statistically likely #to develop heart disease or endure a major cardiac event #like they calculate your disease risk based on averages and so so so much data and math and shit THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!! #so why are you complaining about it as if you do!!!!!!!! #sorry. I know it’s in good faith for the most part but. it feels like straight entitlement to constantly complain and dog on doctors #I’m a victim of medical malpractice!!! i still show respect and understand that they’re individuals. people. human beings. #who are largely trying to help others #regardless of my personal experience with others in their field #sorry this is just a vent now #i love research I love science I love medicine please stop hating on every aspect of it and my community ty #delete later #not fandom #stinky speaks

[macadam]

I’ve only been in this fandom a few weeks but you mean the world to me. I want to study you like a bug.

Thank you this is the highest honour actually. (And I cannot stress that enough. I'm blushing)

#Mac asks #you came at such a weird time #this is my weird girl era I think #worse than the shitpost or chill guy era but far better than the complain era #which occurred right when I came back from my 2 month internet cleanse (camp counsellor and portage/tripper guide) #and lasted a solid... 3 months? #lost a lot of mutuals over that period anbfdjslbfaslfbasjdfa #I was going through it #coincidentally a lot of my negativity did largely come from my recently developed wasp allergy #queue series of unfortunate events etc etc #now how on earth did I acquire a wasp allergy out of the blue I wonder #it's anybody's guess #man look at me rambling about myself in the tags (vain) #this is what happens when I log on whilst waaayyyyy too tired. back to regularly scheduled robot posting

lowkey tempted to just start spamming the “canon jiang cheng” tag with just like. every single quote in the book that tangentially references him. how’s that for canon huh. just dumping screenshots frame by frame. using the biggest font size to drop single lines one at a time. it’s all canon so you have nothing to complain about.

literally just use the “anti” tag like any other respectful fandom participant and this would be a non-issue

#mdzs talk #salt is salt #if canon jiang cheng is homophobic then why have i said the same shit to my sister about her husband #is it heterophobia?? or am i being homophobic to a m/f couple??? or perhaps?? it’s a sibling thing #or maybe you just don’t fucking like pda goddamn imagine that #like jfc you don’t see people making posts detailing wwx’s brazen disrespect and penchant for pettiness and cruelty #and going ‘but it’s canon!!!’ #you don’t see any posts about how he could have tried to help jc’s relationship w jfm or how wwx inherited jfm’s placating tendencies #you don’t see posts about how wwx’s fate was ultimately of his own creation due to his sheer arrogance and inflated ego #these are all really unfavorable and negative interpretations of things that WERE present #but are an egregiously bad faith interpretation #and that’s the point!! that’s what y’all do to jc!!! #wwx is disrespectful and arrogant and combatitive and irresponsible and selfish #but you don’t have any problem with that #also btw wwx has CANONICALLY tortured minimum hundreds of people to death (most likely including civilians) #but you don’t seem to have any issue with that #terminal protagonism #some annoying ass loser picked a fight on a post from months ago #abt how no subordinate is not a derogatory term and the basis of a large chunk of their arguments falls apart #because being someone’s subordinate literally just means ‘you work for them’ #and they were like ‘um if not violently classist and hate wwx then why not falling over himself to worship wwx?’ #again: my post was about ‘this word is not derogatory an in context is actually a good thing. pls stop acting like it’s a bad thing.’ #i’m just so fed up with these fucking losers who think they’re the goddamn chosen ones or some shit #like newsflash: if you were actually right about your interpretation being canon #your opinion would be the majority #but instead we all just think you’re annoying and self aggrandizing #imagine why that might be. #think about if it has to do with the fact that you tag everything with ‘i do not interpret; i am the authority and my word is law.’ #just think about why that might draw some ridicule.

All I want is a computer that doesn't lag on community lots

#playtesting my own community lots is nearly impossible 😭 #no cc in my game and 5 mods - two of which were just TOOL and Better Build Buy like it should not lag this bad #It's my laptop and I know that. But it's just so irritating #I wish sometimes that I had a different hobby but this game IS my biggest hobby. I love the sims and I love playing #I would have gameplay posts out the ass if my computer loaded community lots and large households without lagging severely #but as it is now it isn't even enjoyable to play #I just build and dress up sims that I can't even play with #and the games are already expensive as is but then you need a great - ultimately expensive - operating system to play them on. It sucks!!! #keeping all this negative energy in the tags because there are MUCH bigger issues in the world than having a shitty computer like #I feel silly complaining about that obviously but sometimes you just have to vent no matter how dumb #please ignore me #personal #gif warning

can we stop treating our participation in the voltron fandom as something horrific and shameful or is every single voltron post going to be prefaced with self-deprecation and disgust

#before anyone jumps down my throat I am being hyperbolic #but also!! I think we can all agree that vld deserves criticism & its ‘16-‘18 fandom had some miscreants #I think we all collectively understand that custody of these characters/this universe has been revoked from dw by the remaining fans #the miscreants have retired. they left. you’re safe #you can make positive posts I promise I swear to god you don’t have to justify being in this fandom to the rest of us… also in the fandom #yes even in 2024 who cares #use your filtered tags and enjoy your stay my liege #I am just exhausted by the constant negativity and the qualifiers and the criticism of other fans just?? expressing themselves normally #‘I don’t like this trope’ ok cool!! it’s actually way easier to scroll away and not think about it than to make a post shitting on it #we don’t need to know that you don’t like it honestly #filter it and enjoy never seeing it again! #but considering how small the fandom is now there’s a good chance the person who created that piece of art or that fic is going to see your #post proclaiming your hatred of it #idk just leaves a sour taste in my mouth #everything doesn’t have to be For You #anyway there are so many fandoms in the same boat as Voltron where the fandom has largely disengaged with the source material bc it’s bad #and not just bad but at times painful to consume #rant in the tags

[mumpsetc]

Gotta admit, your bot rant intrigues me. I definetly agree with what you said and all but it makes curious, how you rewrite the bot plot to make it not as bad as it actually is given the choice? <:) (Also want to take this as oppurtunity to say I love your takes and art by the way!)

First Off: Omg Tysm That's So Sweet of You :]]]] 💕💕💕

Second Off: My Issue With the Bot Situation is I Feel It Squanders the Concept of Bot Being Based On Bow, a Person Who Did Exist and Also is Still Around. S3 Has Several People Who Knew Her, Her Miraculous Return From the Dead Should Raise a Couple of Eyebrows. I'm Not Crazy About Test Tube and Fan Making Her, I Feel Its a Odd They Did This When They Explicitly Learned Not to Project Their Feelings Onto Other Concious Beings Before, and Also I Simply Don't Think Either of Them are This Disrespectful. Both of Them Were on Marshmallow's Team, They (In Theory) Would Know How Much Bow Meant to Her.

S3 Keeps Gesturing At the Theme of a Show Being Dragged Out Long Past When It Should've Finished and I Think Bot Should Be a Thesis Character for This, and I Think the Weird Walkie Talkie Voice Should've Been Responsible for Her Existence. We Don't Know Anything About Walkie Talkie Because She Doesn't Do Anything, if She Did Make Bot That Would Make Sense With Her Whole Goal of Keeping ii Running and it Would Add Some Tension ans Complexity to the Series. How Did She Do This and Why? Are There Other People Involved? Isnt This Horribly Invasive? You Could Still Have Test Tube and Fan Adopt Bot or Whatever Idc But If She Was Made By a Shadowy Faceless Entity Using the Likeness of a Popular Dead Celebrity to Boost Ratings of a New TV Show That Would Say Something Right? There's a Statement Being Made Here, What's the Statement of Test Tube and Fan Making Bot Other Than "We Did Not Learn From the Egg Baby."

#Like Imagine Mephone Finding Out He Worked With Someone Whos Also Doing Some Weird Robot Child Abuse? #Or How ii Contestants Like Paintbrush Who are Very Aware of How Theyre Percieved Would Feel Knowing Theyre Profitable Enough to Bring Back #After Death? #This is Kinda Creepy and Raises a Lot of Questions About the World Outside of the Show and How They Regard the Show Itself #Idk S3 Keeps Forsaking Unique Ideas That Match the Plot and Characters for Cookie Cutter Generic Schlock #Also This is Unrelated Fan Left His Kid #When He Got Eliminated He Didnt Even BOTHER Trynna Get Back #This Guy Left His Fuckin Robot Kid!!! He Told Test Tube He Was Getting a Pack of Smokes and Didnt Come Back!!!! #He Doesnt Deserve to Be in the Found Family Test Tube Was a Single Mother Here Basically #ii negativity #Dreamy.txt #Awseriously and Schoolunchtray Made Good Posts Abour Bot Too Thats Why Im Thinkin Bout Her #It Would Also Make Them Fucking Around Aimlessly On the Island More Interesting Cuz Like #They Dont Know There are Weird Clones of Them #FUCK THE HORRIBLE IMPS IN THE NEWEST EPISODE COULD BE REVEALED TO BE WEIRD LAB MONSTERS OR SOMETHINF!!! #AE LET ME WRITE YOUR FUCKING SHOW I MADE THE DOGASS POKEMON EPISODE LORE RELEVANT!!!!!! #If iii Revealed the Object World at Large Was Like Antiviral Id Forgive It for Everything Its Done to Me #Objective Criticism

I swear I'm trying to type out the thing about my brain but I'm really not sure how much detail I feel comfortable going into... I used to be so open on here, but then uh, I had several big falling outs with friends and a couple of them started stalking me, so I left my blog on queue since 2014 and then stopped posting from 2016 to 2020. The only place I felt comfortable making posts relating to my personal life or mildly dissenting fandom-related posts was on a locked twt account with only 20-40 people on it.

Anyway, I'm Trying

#erin talks #text #I Think those people have moved on but honestly at this point I don't care as much #all of them have my address so if they were going to send me a bomb it would've happened years ago (they don't live in this country #so that takes part of the worry out of the equation) and I've started taking medication so I don't think I'd Completely fall apart if they #showed up in my notifs now compared to back then #so it's more a matter of forcing myself out of my comfort zone & reminding myself that unless I act like a complete asshole #with 0 regard for others then there's a very low chance there will be extreme negative reactions to my silly little posts #(but if you've ever wondered why I seem so hesitant to be completely honest about negative opinions or I put disclaimers on a lot of posts #it's not bc of like the whole 'twt is the only place where well articulated sentences get misconstrued. 'I like pancakes' 'so you hate #waffles?' no that's an entirely new sentence' thing . I feel bad that most ppl have this problem with the internet at large #since 2014 wrt rocking the boat the slightest bit but mine is from . teenagers who had similar issues that I did/do and didn't set out to #be 'evil' . I don't forgive them but they're not unforgivable ppl . you know?)

"People don't like/romance Blackwall because he has depression" is truly the "people don't like Cullen because they dislike drug addicts" of Blackwall opinions.

#bog post #this goes here bc it's just cunty #stay salty #fandom bs #begging y'all at large to please please please #don't fuss too much about whether the things you like are popular #at the very least don't take it personally if your favorite cishet white man isn't best boy #if it has ANY effect on other people's opinions and preferences #that effect WILL be negative

[sasaranurude]

I'm sure it changes later cause I know the twitter discourse doesn't come from nowhere, but considering Terra charismahouse has used "boku", "-kun," and "otoko" in self-reference thus far (and no feminine terms that I noticed), I'm... Wondering where the gender bit comes in, beyond the fact that the character's whole deal is clearly invoking transmisogynistic tropes about self-obsession

#suchobabbles #i realize my charismahouse posting has been largely negative #but im really enjoying the show i prommy i spend most of my time watching it laughing uproariously #i just dont have anything to say there beyond wanting to post a million clips #(i send the clips to my friends instead)
