In case you needed any more evidence that the trans rights activist movement is insane, maybe this failed ‘Interview with a TERF’ will do it for you. It tells young people that they never need to have difficult discussions that might make them uncomfortable – they can just complain of their feelings being hurt & have any further conversation censored. Note especially how a few commenters even said Olivia was expressing interesting, good talking points, but that simply didn’t matter because they didn’t want to hear or engage with it. They voted for this, it was clearly signposted in case they didn’t want to read it: some say they even felt bad for reading it & shouldn’t have, but rather than taking responsibility for their action of choosing to read it, they instead say it’s a reason it shouldn’t be up in the first place. Truly a toxic, close-minded movement.
I can post the interview if anybody wants, but I’ve linked to the original thread if you want to read it there.
it kinda sucks ass when ppl don’t hate from the heart fr….like it’s just something to do bc the social media climate tells you so. not because you actually feel it :/
That reminds of me of someone saying Aerith was trans and someone responding
“The only thing trans about her is how early she died”
I remember lmao, that was hilarious.
More seriously: Does OP realize that women can also be sarcastic, crack jokes, like food and wear chokers? It's such a dumb reason to think she's trans.
something charmingly twentieth century about this
I also heard the game has antisemitism stuff in it too? Is that true?
all I've seen is long posts decrying terfs for being Nazis because the game that jkr wasn't involved in making has goblins as the red herring villains and a battle horn relic. I'm Jewish and haven't seen anything that makes me think it's intentional antisemitic dogwhistles so much as the reality that goblins as fantasy/folklore stock characters already have a 400+yr history of absorbing European antisemitism, though I did hear that some people fired from the game in early development were found to hold neofasc ideals or something.
The thing is I fundamentally don't care about the game: I don't game and, sure I loved harry potter as a kid, but I was never a superfan or even read/watched any of the sequel/spinoff stuff, and jkr wasn't involved with the game anyway. The only reason I know the amount I know about it is because I'm invested in jkr and the witchhunt against her, not in the neverending cashcow franchise that is HP. To say the least, I'm distressed that even when I'm only looking at jkr I can't avoid seeing 20 people a day cry nazi at anyone who plays a highly anticipated mainstream game on the basis that they're ideologically underwriting a woman they paint as a warlord despite her worst crime against them being an essay.
Idk if the game is antisemitic. I hope it's not, but if it is that sure sucks and is scary. not sure why I'm supposed to have a stronger opinion about it than about any of the other many games that allow you to simulate ww2 while playing as the literal nazis, and I'm not sure why or how the content of this fantasy computer game should impact me or my opinion of jkr when neither of us have shit to do with the game.
amazing how, in the midst of all these accusations of jkr's bigotry, I haven't even seen any names of the people who were actually responsible for the game's content.
ppl really r like “how dare you place misogyny on the same level as *ACTUAL BIGOTRY* like idk where people get the idea that it’s like totally unreasonable to compare misogyny to racism or homophobia or to think misogyny is a serious issue
ok heres my hot take: women can make whatever fictional content they want i trust them to still be normal irl. men are mentally fragile, easily influenced and should not be allowed to read
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
— Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride (via corpsicles)
Radical feminists should not be allowed to post about Marsha P. Johnson. She did not wear being a woman like a costume; she embraced it with her life. She gave to the community until she died. If you can look at Marsha P. Johnson and not take trans people seriously, you don't have the right to talk about us like a serious issue you know about. You wouldn't know a thing.
Why should we not talk about it? This way no one could talk about any topic, isn't it right? Just simple logic. If you look up, because there're plenty of evidence, Marsha P. Johnson was a drag queen, so a MAN that dress as a woman for entertainment. He never claimed to be a woman because he identified himself as gay, so a man attracted to other men. Just a simple research on internet and you can find anything you want :)
Us radfems do plenty of researches, but trans people never try to find (they just ignore) the real definition of woman.
HER BRAIN
More shows should be like AMC’s “The Terror”. “Oh, you mean they should be tightly written and make heavy use of metaphor and symbolic imagery to communicate truths about complicated characters in high-stakes situations?” No. I mean more shows should strand their main characters in the remote arctic and have them eat each other
