@tobito420 @Jakuri_0 i’ve heard of & used “racially marginalized”/“racial minorities”, i think that’s an accurate term but i don’t have a great perspective on this so i’d like to hear other opinions

@Jakuri_0 Do we have a better term for "non-white"? I do agree though

I'm probably being "too woke" here but POC (person of color) is a really Eurocentric term and it lowkey pisses me off.

@cderedpanda @BreeFinale talking about debates of heteropessimism & desire, the writing posits how desire is politically informed but not static. i think it's a good complement to your essay because it discusses how desire can evolve and connects it to queer histories & potential futures.

@cderedpanda @BreeFinale i sympathize bc i think in this kind of topic it's difficult to draw lines between personal & political or turn it into praxis, though i appreciated the focus on safety & not overfocusing on individual decisions. my fav writing about desire: post45.org/2023/07/compul… 1/2

@nbgirlboyfie nice to see you! wish you well

@the_corvidae it's incredible how deeply engrained ableism and carceral ideas of (mental) health are. the impulse is to act like they're icky and toss them to parents & doctors. "reach out" is such a loaded slogan, just victim blaming and acting like they didn't try hard enough.

the cost of “mental health awareness” being the mainstream discourse at the expense of mad liberation is that people use hotlines and mental health resources as an excuse to shirk all responsibility and compassion, people love hotlines because it gives them permission to not care

@houseofsilo literally there’s so many interesting readings of the show. capitalism, patriarchal abuse/conditioning, colonialism, but ppl are like “wow anti-ai”. it’s not completely invalid and can also be related to the other things, but it’s the most boring interpretation to focus on lol.

i cant with this "oh it's about ai" take geez

@suchnerve @marginallymasc i viewed that scene as commentary on how consumption can feel “more ethical” yet rely on the same exploitation. she hates being served but she said she wants her sprouts back, despite requiring the same means. ofc she’s not wrong for not wanting servants. her options are limited.

@marginallymasc they didn’t need to restock the whole store when they had available the knowledge of what she usually buys. that was them lovebombing her like abusers love to do.

and refuses literally every opportunity to indulge in luxury at the expense of others, mind you. she won’t even sit in first class when being flown somewhere because she wants to minimize how much benefit she reaps from the exploitation of others

@Phlegmboyant remembering being assigned quran readings and seeing laws in every surah that amount to "women are half as valuable as men" "you need two women witnesses to equal one man because women are forgetful and need to be reminded" sounds like something from a redpill reddit comment.

I think people underestimate how Quran (and ESPECIALLY translations of Quran) have major “girl wtf are you talking about” energy

Opens up Quran to see verses about when and how to beat your wife.

@nbgirlboyfie it’s always funny to me that every condemnation of polyamory is actually just criticism of monogamy & politics of intimacy, being disproportionately misdirected at polyamory. “polygamy rules are silly!” and it’s just a glimpse of the foundational logic of cyshet monogamy.

@Phlegmboyant this reminds me that i've started to make fun of class-reductionism as "identity politics but with poor people" lol what else am i supposed to call a philosophy of "we're all poor so X oppression is irrelevant"?

“Culture war against rich people”

@blackvisenya100 people when they code-switch, dress a different way/modify their body, or stay closeted queer, all to avoid stigma or marginalization: "wow i'm so manipulative for being dishonest about my true self for my own benefit"

@nbgirlboyfie this always makes me so sad, the fact that victims have to carry the burden of re-telling their experiences. the way others amplify that burden is unjust. victims already tend to police themselves too much.

@Phlegmboyant felt that

I have the seed of many kinks but I’m too unhorny to water them so I’m vanilla.

@v1gorous1 1. you literally assumed they’re a woman while calling them boosted, don’t act like that’s an innocent neutral statement. 2. you thought they’re boosted bc of enchanter offrole at low w/r. do you assume low w/r offrole = boosted for other champs/roles? if not, case closed.

@ttstlol like I do not in anyway think making fun of this one person I thought was boosted inherently insights hate or prejudice towards women

Never ask a woman her age or why she didn't play her 74% wr ekko

@v1gorous1 @emiliacosplay doing a meme and it's just the most plain misogyny

@emiliacosplay They could they could not idk im just doing a meme I've seen as it related to my game it's not that deep

@nbgirlboyfie i just wanna say this is the most true thing i have ever heard in my life
