Sometimes Gatekeeping Is Good!

Okay but fr I think mild gatekeeping in alternative subcultures is okay, because I think we shouldn't just let anyone in.

I don't think a Trump supporter should be able to say they're a punk and I don't think someone who sees goth as PURELY "egirl" fashion should be allowed to call themselves goth. Idk if this makes me sound like an asshole but imo if you don't regularly listen to the music or aren't aware of the history/movement behind a subculture, you aren't in it.

I do think there is a level of gatekeeping that is too far but my brain can't put it into words rn if you understand.

its so obvious its a publicity stunt or something. boosting this despite being australian because more people need to see this.

I really do hope that people stick to this 'I'm not going to praise Trump if he brings TikTok back' thing because not only did he support it's banning in the first place, but he just wants to gain support from more people and be idolized in the media. It's the start of his second presidency, it's a distraction you shouldn't fall for.

He's still a billionaire, he is still a Zionist, he is still a fascist, transphobe, homophobe, a FELON, and plenty more.. I assure you, you do not want to support this man in any way shape or form. do not start praising him for bringing back TikTok if he succeeds.

It's so blatantly obvious too,, because this TikTok ban is all over the media. doing something that big and taking all the credit for himself is exactly the type of publicity boost that he needs to gain more support from Gen Z, and you need to remember not to not only ignore that he did it, but refuse to interact with any posts praising him for it. maga is gonna go INSANE over this and you need to stay away from their influence

good luck those who moved from tiktok to tumblr,, remember that activism and awareness shouldn't stop now that tiktok is gone 🙏

i don't know if i'm trans but i've realised i'm uncomfortable with my body and i feel the same way as you wearing feminine clothes, i just pretend i'm a femboy tbh

PRO TIP FOR TRANS MEN: if you are forced to wear hyperfeminine clothing or makeup and that makes you dysphoric, but you’re not out yet/in a position safe enough to come out, here’s how I make the situation LESS uncomfortable. this is what works for me and is not guaranteed to work for you at all.

Anyways… pretend you’re in drag. Just go all out. Wear heavy makeup and dramatic eyeliner or the most feminine dress you have and just pretend it’s drag even if it’s NOT. Just pretend. Note that this may not work if your dysphoria with makeup and feminine clothing is VERY strong. Mines is mediocre discomfort, as I could probably wear dresses just fine if I had a flag chest.

STORYBOARD/ANIMATIC TIPS

ko-fi✏️

I made these for my friends, but I thought that might be helpful for yall as well! hehe! Now whenever someone asks for storyboard tips I can throw this at them!

Examples of storyboards I made for fun:

You know why there won't be anyone as sexy and lustful sounding like Billy Idol and Depeche Mode anymore ? I'll tell you..

Culture Rewards Softness and Control

Everything today is optimized, polished, algorithm-approved. Music especially—so much of it is autotuned and carefully written to be non-offensive.. not to mention emotionally vague or oversimplified.

It lacks the tension, darkness, and sexual charge of the 80s and 90s. “Flesh for Fantasy” wasn’t afraid to be lustful. Music now often apologizes for wanting something.
