I'm sending this to everyone I remember being around back then: years and years ago, a post of an oil painting of a muscular but soft warrior woman bathing in a stream or pond circulated regularly. I cannot find that painting for the the life of me, and I'd appreciate any help you can give.
blow on yr screen every couple seconds to simulate annoying an anime boy
i came up with this idea when i was very sleep deprived and i then spent like 30 minutes intermittently blowing on my screen. i was very entertained, at one point i laughed so hard i almost lost my voice. i figured that this was just a symptom of being very easily amused due to my condition but now that im awake again i see that this is easily the best post ive ever made. i have peaked, i will never post anything this good again. fffffffffffffffff. ffffffffffff. ffffffffffffffffffff. ffffffffffffffffffffffffff
My final project for my visual journalism class! we were asked to write an informational comic about any topic, and I chose to talk about the history of video games as a narrative medium!
There’s an incredible amount of discourse in the LGBTQ Extended Universe of people very angry that certain factions would perceive their sexual attraction to women as being inherently predatory. Various types of lesbians and bisexuals and trans people attracted to cis women, who all need to make it very clear that their attraction to women is wholesome and harmless.
Which would all be unnecessary if you just didn’t concede the radfems’ point in the first place: that hetero male attraction to women is automatically suspicious, probably inherently predatory.
If you concede that point, then various types of queer or trans people have to find a way to differentiate their own attraction to women as different than hetero male attraction. “How dare you imply that I as a butch lesbian/trans woman/male-attracted bisexual woman am in any way analogous to a hetero male in my sexual interest in women.” Since you’ve already conceded the point that hetero male attraction is bad, you’re stuck fighting a rear-guard action to prove that not all sexual attraction to women is bad, it’s only bad when it comes from cishet men–perhaps only when it comes from white cishet men because some of the more advanced woke people understand the historical atrocity of identifying black male sexual interest as dangerous.
And this discourse will never end. You’ll never effectively delineate who is ~wholesome~ when they want pussy and who is ~yikes~ when they want it. Not unless you’re going to be an out-and-out TERF who can easily cut through this issue by simply refusing to agree that trans women are women and trans men are men.
You could, of course, refuse to concede the point in the first place. You could say “no, it’s actually fine to be horny. It’s fine to want pussy. Men aren’t doing anything wrong by being sexually interested in women and pursuing sexual relationships with women.”
But that’s difficult, because it undermines the entire basis of at least half of the feminist movement since its 19th-century inception, which is based in sexual repression and the identification of sexual intercourse as the primary site of women’s oppression. Which is why to this day the only concession the radfems can make to free love or sex-positivity is “well, some women are deeply damaged and traumatized, and for some unfathomable reason they want to have sex with men, and like with drug use or the sex industry, it causes harmful side-effects if we try to use force to stop women from self-harming inthis way (by having sex with men), so we’ll bitterly tolerate women being horny, but male horniness is still absolutely unacceptable.” Hence “sex-critical” feminism, the reincarnation of sex-negative feminism. They happen to regret wholeheartedly allying with the Christian Right in the 1980s; but they still don’t think they made any moral or theoretical errors there, only tactical errors.
Just found this old screenshot, detailing exactly what I was talking about. “Remember not to let your seething hatred of men bleed over into self-hatred just because you share a trait in common with them, uwu”
Also lol at putting the word ‘love’ in scare-quotes. Unhinged
