Like is transphobia real? Undoubtedly. I experience it day to fucking day. Is misogyny real? Likewise, I see it day to fucking day.

Do I think some people think that they're cool because experiencing transphobia and misogyny means they're the Cool Kind of Person and that anyone who isn't the Cool Kind of Person talking about experiencing them is cheapening their status as a Cool Person for being Uncool while experiencing the Cool People Discrimination? Aha. Hahaha. Aaaahahahahahahahahahaha fucking kill me.

 

Not to mention people who have "TERFs/rightwing DNI" right next to "proship DNI" are deeply unserious people at best.

 

I do feel like a complete nolife loser for being hung up on antishippers in fandom in 20-fucking-24, but in my meager defense I have to see "proship DNI" almost every goddamn day and it never stops making me feel unsafe. It's literally the same as how I never stopped feeling unsafe around "gamers" after GamerGate.

There was this huge subculture wide conflict that was never properly addressed, it just became cringe to be on the "losing" side, but the tools and mechanics of harassment available to gamergaters and antis never stopped being effective because there's just no beating social death as a tool for harassment for a super duper social species like humans.

But I also don't feel safe around people who insist that "social death" can only be inflicted on people who are sufficiently marginalised, unlike me who is just kind of an awkward white guy as far as the internet knows. You're only ever as safe and taken as seriously by these people as your identity aligns with theirs.

 

This is not a new observation but sometimes I read fics tagged as "parental x&y" (as opposed to, like. Shippy x/y) which makes me think that the author might benefit from, like. Looking into ABDL just a little bit.

Like. It's not a fetish fic, and the author would probably get very angry at me if I called it that. But this is kink, right? Are you aware that you're writing kink? Are you not aware you're writing kink?

XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X

THIS IS NOT A DRILL I AM ABOUT TO BECOME SO FUCKING ANNOYING :DDD

 

Literally the only reason I stopped thinking about this game was because I didn't have a way to replay it without getting a WiiU

This is about to no longer be a problem.
