Don’t forget that Hindus especially feel this because most of the sex negative bull crap wasn’t even in our original scriptures at all (which were sex POSITIVE).

Gandhi, the Mughals, and the British (but tbh mostly Gandhi) inserted their own prudishness into Indian culture and BJP Bhakts are going around acting like that’s real to the point of censoring and sanitising actual religious texts to fit their ideas.

The moment someone says “sex isn’t a part of Indian culture” or “true Hindu women are chaste virgins” you know they don’t really understand Hinduism.

Level 1: Prophecy proclaims that no man can kill villain; killed by woman.

Level 2: Prophecy proclaims that no weapon can harm villain; pushed down stairs and dies.

Level 3: Prophecy proclaims that villain will be brought low by no mortal hand; kicked to death by angry mob.

Level 4: Prophecy proclaims that no power on Earth shall be villain’s undoing; fatally distracted by sun in eyes.

Level 5: Prophecy proclaims that only power of laughter can defeat villain; beat up by clown.

Level **: Prophecy claims that villain cannot be killed by man nor beast, at day or night, or inside or outside. He is killed in a doorway at sunset by a half-man, half-lion

(this is actual Hindu myth)

Unpopular opinion: lesbians creeping on straight girls saying that “no girl is truly straight/girls are better than boys try it uwu” are just as creepy as straight dudes creeping on lesbians and your gender doesn’t make it ok. Sorry i just really hate how tumblr glorifies that sometimes

thorscourse:

anyone creeping on anyone is bad, but tumblr villainising lesbians for,, having crushes on straight girls is awful. i’ve never actually seen any lesbian do this, nor anyone showing proof. if your only proof is toppdke, then your argument is stupid lmao

I’ve seen many radfems outside of topdyke say things like this, and just LOOK at the way f/f rape victims are treated when they come out… not well at all.

What other people think writing is like: The scene perfectly plays out in my head like a movie scene. Every character knows their lines, the lighting is on point, the acting is brilliant. I know every single detail of the setting, every prop as I write down the scene and I obviously know every line of dialogue because I let the characters have conversations in my daydreams all the time.

What it’s actually like: Wait, didn’t you talk about this earlier? Dammit, that was with a different character. Shit. Find a different topic. Uuuhm, yes. Yes, that’s good. Okay, no. No! Something that makes sense for the story! And don’t just stand there in the middle of the room while the other character is already busy with stuff. What position where you in last? You were over there, right? No, no, over there. Okay. Now, sit down. And no one changes their expression five times in a row! And where are your hands? Wait, didn’t you just have something in your hands? Put that away. Aw, shit there’s no table close by, why are you still standing there, sit down! And where the fuck did you get that water from, THERE’S NO PIPING IN YOUR HOUSE!

people acting like diversity is inherently a political statement or sjw bullshit are so fucking stupid like… thats just how the world is. its almost like the real world is diverse and that its unnatural for media to not reflect this… like these people literally get mad about female protagonists, gay protagonists or protagonists of color bc its “political correctness gone too far” like idk how to explain to you that poc, lgbt people and women existing isnt political correctness its just life dude

idk how to explain this to you but “it ought to be mandatory for all media to have a certain amount of women and minorities in it or else it makes me Uncomfortable and should be banned” is definitely a political statement and what most people have a problem with, not female and minority actors in the first place

The Uk film council has now taken it to “if your villains are scarred/ugly, you won’t get funding”.

So yeah, pc did indeed go mad.

Because we’re technically a sfw blog, we will be shitposting in solidarity with the NSFW artists and blogs that once breathed life into this place. Tumblr took us to hell, but we’re going even deeper. Expect regularly scheduled posts in addition to dumb bullshit.

i will join u

Wappanese don’t report rape, or pretty much any crimes, honestly at all. That said I’d still believe they have less rape than the multicultural paradise of the UK.

Japan is a cesspool or misogyny and such but here’s the thing… all that pornographic media there has a cultural context. It’s made to rebel against a society that wants women to be chaste pure virgins who never have their own desires.

And as for the loli stuff when less than 10% of your population is under 20, well… how can there NOT be a pedophilia problem in a country where there are no babies? The real life shortage of children CREATED lolicon, not the other way around.

Not everywhere is America and people need to understand that.

Seriously tho, don’t use “but the racists are getting a pass!” while complaining that shipping communities are losing a safe and empowering place to share porn.

The most dominant shipping communities uphold racist aesthetic ideals, methodically erase people of color from their narratives and uphold white men as superior to all – and they continue to congratulate themselves for their own enlightenment while doing it.

Instead of glorifying shipping communities as empowering spaces for women, this is an opportunity to talk about what’s really lurking under that so-called subversive feminism.

After all the ugliness they’ve injected into Tumblr fan spaces, we can do better than letting them go down as martyrs. (Again.)

I mean the reason nipple is happening is partly their fault. A lot of adult, female shippers had zero problem with shipping adult characters with minors. Hell, when Big Hero 6 came out, the tags we full of racist, pedophilic art featuring Hiro and his brother. These women aren’t heroes, they’re part of the problem.

Yes, how tumblr is handling this entire this is low but part of the reason this is happening is because of adult shippers, mainly female ones.

These women aren’t heroes, they’re part of the problem.

Yup.

“Why don’t they take care of the Nazis instead of us”? – Sad fact: The  amount of racist crap I’ve gotten from female shippers on Tumblr absolutely obscures the amount I’ve gotten from actual alt-righties. I’ll get some rightwing dudes mocking me now and then, but the harassment, the campaigns to take me down for blogging about racism in fandom, the false accusations, have all come from women shippers. Not all white, but all women, and 100% from so-called “subversive” shipping communities.

These are the women we create holocaust or Native American AUs without batting an eye. I’ve had female shippers send me death threats and I had one tell me I should get hit by a bus. Yeah, that’s totally feminist.

Also, these women are dangerous too. They have influence over fandom and there are tons of minors they can potentially harm. Why doesn’t anyone care? Isn’t their safety more important than this faux feminism?

Again, the reason for nipplegate is the fault of adult women who have been making fandom unsafe from the get go

I love how you both blame adult women specifically for this debacle (as if there aren’t plenty of men and teens who ship the “bad nasty things”) and not, I dunno, incompetent website moderation combined with corporate greed

And, of course, @rootbeergoddess says this shit right after reblogging this post from @thebibliosphere:

This post is literally about how targeting the “wrong kind of” fiction is, historically, only part one in crackdowns against general LGBT content in fandom spaces.

And yet, somehow, women are to blame for this, and not incompetent, greedy, homophobic corporations.

But nah, think of the children, etc, and ends justify the means, I guess. Because hey, fuck LGBT people if we can punish those gross old (mostly queer) women for drawing cartoon characters, right?

Congrats on derailing a post about racism.

I blame the adult women who fly into attack mode when racism is brought up for their actions. Transformative fandom doesn’t deserve to be lionized with zero acknowledgement of its rampant racism.

Since it is being lionized across the internet in response to the Tumblr Purge, I’m absolutely going to point out its long-standing racism. If you want to make that into something homophobic, that’s on you.

So anyone who objects to your cold dead take on how “adult shippers are to blame for nipplegate” is also to blame for nipplegate, somehow?

Also, the discussion of fandom racism has been around for years, including among shippers. Talking about concerns over censorship doesn’t mean that somehow everyone forgot that racism within fandom spaces is a thing.

Nobody’s lionizing anything. People are, quite understandably, angry at corporate censorship and corporate incompetence, which almost always hits marginalised people (such as queer people, many of whom are in shipping communities) harder than those in power (which includes white supremacist blogs). That’s why people are talking about this, and that’s why people are angry.

You’re intentionally trying to twist the situation to focus once again onto fans’ faults, because you can’t bear for a moment for people to direct their anger towards the groups who actually have power and actually cause harm, or see people sympathise with folks you have a grudge against.

Blaming censorship on the victims of censorship is disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

OP you suck, and you’re exactly the reason why no one can have good discussions on how not to be racist, because y’all start defending actual censorship and homophobic pedophilia libel and blatant misogyny and make outrage for the sake of outrage, misapplying serious issues to generate excuses, because it’s more fun for you than tackling actually issues, which would require you to admit nuance exists and your “enemies” are real people who can change instead of fun punching bag toys.

Not to mention that, in actuality, where else do marginalized writers and artists even get heard of? Meanwhile, in fandom spaces, by design, literally anyone can be seen and heard if they tag well. Particularly on AO3, but before Tumblr fucked up how tags and search worked—which is entirely the fault of Yahoo’s execs and brogrammers—here as well. There are no official gatekeepers, no interviews with those already in power, not even real names and people guessing your demographics from them. Just tags and date posted. So long as you tag well and post regularly, which are skills, not inherent attributes, you got heard. I dare you to act like that’s somehow more racist than mainstream publishing.
