A Bold Business Decision

update from the discord group courtesy of one of my mutuals;

do not trust that damned survey. change your discord password. utilize 2FA.

I use 2FA on every website I log into, and it didn't ask for any details when I took the survey, but I still don't trust that thing at all. One can never be too safe.

whoops I accidentally double reblogged but:

hi, i did some research on this but this link was not phishing and here's why:

qualtrics is a legit website that companies pay to host data gathering surveys to collect metrics on various things. you can also create free surveys but from what i understand the survey results aren't as in-depth as the paid versions get you.

it looks like the survey originates from a banner on the discord app and you click on it and it takes you to the site and you do the thing there. it was only rolled out to a certain amount of people (for the purposes to maybe only get people they thought would be pro-AI? who knows with Discord) but was then passed around everywhere because Fuck AI. And then Discord realized that things weren't going the way they wanted and pulled the survery.

I did some further research on the URL itself:

From ESET link checker it rates it as safe, I also plugged it into a few others as well like Fortinet and Bitdefender and both of those came back safe too, here's a screenshot of ESET:

info on the link itself from urlvoid:

the actual qualtrics site info from urlvoid as well to compare the age of the domain (usually phishing domains are very very young and/or brand new and not legitimate domains but these are both legitimate domains.)

and, inb4 people say "phishing attempts don't always have to ask you to enter your login credentials to scrape your info"

no keyloggers or malware after I clicked on the link (it's been 8 hours now and my discord account is fine).

hopefully, this will quell some panic about the discord thing, its always good practice to protect your account with MFA when it's offered and to change your password when you suspect something may not be right, it's better to err on the side of caution etc, but in this case, it's alright and there's no need to create any undue panic about a link to a survey. fuck AI and Discord should know better than to try and pull more wool over its userbases' eyes because did they not learn from the NFT thing?

okey dokey bye bye now

if your water breaks… i will fix it.

no... i will be the best wife wolf... nothing stands in my way anymore...

thinspo is back and stronger than ever but you aren't even allowed to point it out anymore

we can and we should. so many teens and kids need to see proper normal bodies instead of strangely skeletal model people ngl. it would fix us just a little, as a society.

we all deserve better. we all gotta fight the weird societal shift to thinking 800 cals is enough for a grown woman. ?? eat, people. EAT.

do you think a cornered mouse would dream of cheese

come on man

i want to point out that if tma people are using the third gender terminology from their culture as demonyms they are encapsulating a certain relationship to and within their culture. in the modern era "trans woman" is a globally recognized identity term, and choosing to engage with it or not as a term for oneself or one's community is often understood to be a political choice. that choice, ime, exists in relation to u.s. cultural domination.

while trans women and, say, muxes are both transmisogynized groups and do share many political interests and goals, they will not necessarily share /all/ political interests and goals. the muxe have struggles and support related to their specific position within their culture.

this is of course complicated by individual choice, identity, and social relation, but what i am trying to convey is that if there is a person or group using a traditional cultural term instead of or in conjunction with the term "trans woman" they have a reason for doing so.

i feel like this is necessary to point out because trans women, especially white trans women, have a tendency to understand themselves as the arbiters of tma identity, norms, and politics. as i see more white trans women become aware of the global scale of transmisogyny i also see them equating traditional tma identities with trans womanhood one to one, when these identities actually have cultural and spiritual contexts beyond those of the "trans woman" identity.

as a tma person from a culture with third and fourth genders i do, as i've said before, still want to abolish the gender system as a whole. i recognize, however, that this is a process that will take longer than my lifetime, and that we must engage with the world as it is now.

if you are a white trans woman i implore you to work to understand this, because without this understanding you risk replicating colonial attitudes toward gender with a "trans" prefix stapled on.

its like. the reason we have tma as a term. its an umbrella term for a reason; it isnt just synonymous with trans woman
