Pro-Para Polyam Transfem Girllover BLM. NO AI. You can message me. No horny dms tho

it is just as real as therianism which is just as real as being trans and i'm sick of people not treating it on the same level i am a permanently 12 year old nonbinary cat each of these parts of my identity is equally important and real

this is harsh but a lot of maps who are not politically conscious or youthlib will rely on their existing politics and be self-hating gooners who should stay away from kids

seeing kids (<16) cheering on the censorship being imposed by payment processors under the pretense of it being against "proshipping" is uniquely bleak. like they genuinely do not understand that they are being brainwashed / groomed into a twisted, conservative, puritanical way of thinking

The truth is, everyday we commit to fascism. It’s in the jobs we have, the transportation we take, the money we spend, how we raise our kids - everything is an investment in systems of oppression unless we’re investing to build a liberated world. We are all accountable for this world.

Thinking about how much accepted common-sense moral reasoning was established through violence. Do McCarthyism for a while and sure you'll look like a jerk but people won't remember "we take this rhetorical position to avoid violence," they just internalize the position.

using the concept of "childhood innocence" as an excuse to not teach them anything and coddle them is just making it so they don't have the words or knowledge to avoid or handle abuse it's always been a weird thing adults retroactively push on children Because the naivety of youth is fetishized

just because someone consents doesnt mean that its good for them. it also doesnt mean they want it. just because someone didnt say they consent also doesnt mean they dont want it. consent is more than just words, its about trust and respect.

going to school is actually a form of labor and its unpaid and the social pressures are even higher than with other employments. the product of the labor is obedient working adults. the cost is your time, energy, material resources, mental health, identity, untamed emotions, suffering,

do people really derive significant pleasure from taboo? i feel nothing for taboo itself. i like the things i like because they matter to me and i have respect for them. when someone interacts with something i like for the thrill of doing something "deviant" and "wrong" it makes me feel appropriated

Kodomo no Jinkan's anime's specials were the best part because Rin and Daisuke expired in my mind after the first few episodes. All that was left was a sad lesbian with unrequited feelings and Mimi. I'm glad that Kuro got Sae, and Mimi started talking to Reiji.
