It's legit terrifying whenever I step out of my little bubble and realize the level of copyright cocksuckery that is normalized in online artist communities.

crazy how kim kitsuragi has such powerful gay swag that it makes the fan base collectively forget that one of his main character traits is being a massive centrist lol
usamericans and europeans love to moralize objective economic categories by transposing the relations of oppression to a good-and-bad dynamic which affects everyone as individuals, so that a statement of fact without any bearing on their individual personhood becomes an accusation to them, one that must simply not be true because their self-imposed moralization goes against the real oppression they do face, an oppression which has of course also been unnecessarily moralized, resulting in a completely self-fabricated contradiction between being oppressed (good and righteous) and benefitting from the oppression of others (bad and despisable)
i hate that working out does actually improve my mental health, you're telling me my MOTHER was RIGHT
Americans are so fucking Oedipalized, the whole election culture war was just them debating whether you should prefer Mommy or Daddy. They kept saying it so explicitly too, like JD Vance talking about how Trump is daddy and was coming home to put mommy in her place (???) and the constant Blue MAGA posting about Momala or whatever
while I'm generally pretty wary of narratives that assume transmascs have a more developed feminist consciousness than cis men, I do think it's fair to say they do at least have more opportunities to gain that consciousness. I don't even think this necessarily due to their personal experience with misogyny, as while that can certainly be a factor, "suffering doesn't make you a better person, it just makes you suffer" etc. and being oppressed does not automatically result in a correct analysis or understanding of the structure of that oppression. An equally important factor is that transmascs are much more likely than cis men to be exposed to trans/feminist theory due to their proximity to queer, trans, and feminist spaces, and are therefore more likely to at least be familiar with the idea that masculinity, as it is currently constructed, is inextricably tied to oppression. this is also why I find it very misguided to interpret the pattern of transmascs distancing themselves from cis men as a sign that they are secretly not trans or whatever. instead I see this stemming from a very real internal struggle with the concept of masculinity and what it means to belong to broader social class of men. this is partially because transness is inherently antithetical to cispatriarchy and exposes a lot of its internal contradictions, but it also applies to anyone masculine aligned who also wants to support the feminist project. what masculinity is, and what it could be potentially transformed into, are very good questions that need to be grappled with, and is a discussion where transmasculinity can offer important insight. anyway tldr, I think transmascs are often uniquely positioned to both gain a greater understanding of misogyny and leverage their privilege in discussions with other men/mascs, but none of that is guaranteed by virtue of you being trans. you still have to put in the work, stop squandering your potential by whining about trans women who you think are too mean to men
the last surviving referent was just discovered and humanely euthanized by field semioticians in the salt flats of utah. apparently it was what people were referring to when they'd say. well. it doesn't matter now anyways does it.
imagine if when people mentioned the netherlands people listed every colony, genocide, mass murder and warcrime the netherlands committed. that's kinda how people talk about china but tbh we should start doing that with european countries instead
