God damn, between Rebecca Sugar getting doxxed, Twitter deciding that VivziePop is Public Enemy #1, and the recent batch of AI Bros claiming that artists ‘gatekeep talent’, this week has just been ‘Fuck You Artists: The Campaign’s, huh?
This is what happens when people decide it’s okay to attack artists because they don’t like what they make.
saying bdsm enables violence is like saying martial artists enable violence
targeting the people play fighting for fun, growth and connection is shallow. it critisizes aesthetics, not material effects
its a detraction from genuine causes of violence
and my experiences in kink and martial arts are genuinely very similar. they both enrich my life deeply
the biggest difference is that martial arts doesn’t carry stigma the way sex does. people have to critisize why they assume sex is inherently *different* from everything else
When a character is assured enough in their own power that they are completely relaxed in dangerous situations??? When that same character becomes tense and uncomfortable in the mundane because they don’t have a framework for peace?????? When they help navigate violence for another character and in return that character helps them navigate softness??????????? That’s all, your honour
anyone else find the desexualization of queer people extremely uncomfortable. like it’s not “queer people are not inherently sexual” but instead “queer people are never sexual and portraying them sexually or being attracted to them is fetishization” which makes me extremely fucking weirded out actually
Hey (with the intention of dancing with you in the kitchen while we cook dinner)
