One of life's great ironies is that almost everyone who makes the active decision to not have kids would probably be way better at raising a child than all the people who just kind of have children because it's what they think everyone is supposed to do

Like genuinely if you're like "I don't want kids because of the financial strain/the commitment/the irritation I would feel/the possibility of traumatizing them/whatever reason" you instantly demonstrate to me that you 1) understand the realities of parenthood and 2) believe that children should be treated with at least a base level of respect and compassion. Meanwhile everyone who's like "I want kids because I don't want to be alone" "I can't wait to dress up my babies" "I won't raise my children to be soft" may as well be talking about Neopets for all the fucks they seem to give about kids

This is so fucking embarrassing. This is one of the most embarrassing business quips I have ever seen in my entire vile career.

tag yourselves i'm the GREAT ROOM beside the GOURMET KITCHEN

i remade it in the sims 4

One time my dad and I got into an argument cause he said it was unprofessional for a man to wear a skirt to work because a man would only want to wear women’s clothing if it was a sexual fetish and at the time I just thought it was stupid but in hindsight I think I learned something deeply personal about my dad

“I wouldn’t be caught dead in any kind of dress because dresses are for women and I’m a man so it would be perverted, the only reason a man would wear a dress would be if he was getting off on it” really is the most weirdly conservative way to admit you find crossdressing so intensely erotic that you cannot imagine a reality where it’s boring, huh

I have no idea if there’s any merit to this at all but now I can’t stop and it’s requiring my brain

“cleavage is slutty and suggestive” only if you think it is. Why are you giving boobs power over you like that

“crossdressing is erotic” Why? Does it turn you on? And if it does, why is that anyone else’s problem? Are sandals erotic? People with foot fetishes aren’t banning flip-flops

“same sex relationships are perverted” Even if they never fuck and just do taxes and shit? Why are you so fixated on gay people doing horny stuff. Why can’t you divide a category of people from porn

Like

Am I late to the fucking game or does just about every single social taboo related to promiscuity boil down to “your insistence that it’s kinky is the only thing making it kinky instead of boring”?

Imagine being so pornbrained that you cannot conceive of a reality where a dude might want to hold hands with his husband or go to a nude beach or wear a cute summer dress to the farmers market without being insanely rock hard about it the entire goddamn time

The tags are gold too

There are people who will say shit like 'well, now I have to imagine what they're doing in bed and that's ewwwww' about their gay co-workers while I'm generally just not in the habit of imagining what my coworkers do in bed.

This post is about Wednesday s2, but its moreso personal. I want to release something from my mind and know that I put it out into the world. I want to talk about Tyler Galpin, as a teenage grooming victim myself.

I've felt strange ever since the shows come out. I think I figured out why. I've been seeing tiktoks and posts regarding how people want to support male victims, until they are imperfect, like Tyler Galpin. This rhetoric really bothers me, because I'm imperfect. The things that took place at the height of my grooming will haunt me until I die. In the ways I tried to heal from that, I hurt a lot of people close to me. But even though I was imperfect, I certainly never physically harmed anyone. Being an imperfect victim, doesn't mean your destined to hurt people. It doesn't mean you get to hurt people the way Tyler does.

A lot of edits and posts have been people attracted to Tylers character. People interested in his romance with Wednesday. Seeing this, it scares me. The idea that a boy could cause intentional malicious pain to a girl, and still be perceived as attractive and desirable. It causes a very real and intense feeling of fear.

I don't know what highschool was like for everyone else. But for me, I remember several girls who were being abused by their boyfriends (or boys they didnt even know/like). Sometimes they would break up, then get back together. And whenever it happend, the boy would hurt her even worse the second time around.

To see Tyler hurt Wednesday and then watch the public wish for them to be together. Its creating a very scary feeling of disconnection from broader society. Especially as a queer and trans man (Im 24 now, the grooming was long ago), seeing the queer ship get denounced so swiftly and without wiggle room. The idea that romantic abuse to girls is desirable, but romantic love between girls is inconceivable bothers me. I feel overwhelmed by this discomfort.

I'm scared how the back half of the show will go. I really don't want to watch Tyler be redeemed and date Wednesday. Because maybe in a TV show an abusive boy changes and never hurts the girl again. But in real life the girl is only hurt worse. I know this is only a show, but I am so tired of watching women be hurt.

If you read this just know this isnt really an analysis of the show. Its just expressing the feeling the show and reactions to it have evoked within me. My feelings are based on my own personal experiences and don't negate anyone elses. I ask if you leave a comment or reblog to be respectful. Thank you for listening
