mid thirties, genderqueer butch (they/he), married to revleftshark, otterlymagic on AO3. avid fan of aggressively queering all things, perpetually out of the loop, CSA survivor with many kinks you might find gross. believes in kindness, nuance, and not engaging with bad faith arguments
Sextus would come out as trans and Harrow would largely be respectful but say something privately about how confounding it is that someone of her caliber has time to waste thinking about gender at all and then two weeks later quietly start using they/them

i just saw a post on reddit titled “the writer is cooking but the food doesn’t agree with me” and it was about OP clicking off a fic because they don’t like the direction it’s going in. slightly different context but can we all be more like this reddit OP. i think “the writer is cooking but the food doesn’t agree with me” should be the new “don’t like don’t read.” dead doves may give you diarrhea but don’t make that everyone else’s problem.
this is a great way to frame it lol like just bc i’m lactose intolerant doesn’t mean i should leave a bad review on the ice cream parlor

I really wish people would understand that there is a vast gulf of cultural difference between “nomadic ethnic groups” and “ethnic groups which are not and have never been nomadic, but which were repeatedly violently expelled”
The Saami people are nomadic. The Buryats are nomadic. Uyghurs are not. Jews are not. Many Native American groups, including the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek are not. This distinction may seem small and academic but it is absolutely vital to understanding modern day conflicts involving these groups.
Some cultures are itinerant, with physical movement from place to place as an inherent part of their identity. Some cultures were violently displaced, with a cultural identity that carries the scars of being forced to relocate, against their will. It is victim blaming of the highest order to treat the second type as though it is the first.
i wonder if this whole Calling Typical Misogyny “Porn Addiction” thing wasn’t just a successful psyop to shift feminist critique into a right wing framework i.e. trying to make it about “modern degeneracy” and thus paralyzing discourse on the root issue
everything these people claim is “porn addiction” is literally just misogyny. porn could be dismantled globally and men will still view and treat women as sexual property because surprise! turns out men have expected sexual subservience from women loooong before porn ever existed

quick tip from someone who has been in fan spaces for 20 years: being enthusiastic about your rarepair and making your own stuff/engaging your fellow rarepair shippers will ALWAYS work better than yelling at people who enjoy a more popular ship about how bland their ship is
trying to explain why i like horror to people who don’t: ok so you know how it’s fun to be deeply disturbed and unsettled
