[soon your askbox would be full of shitpost asks like Argumate’s and] you’d be tempted to make an ms paint collage for every single one.
This television show blog doesn’t have that kind of animation drawing budget.
But don’t worry. Most anons on this blog do not get a Full Custom™ MS Paint.JPG for their asks. It’s just the rate of images per ask that would reduce.

Ugggh. Who do you think you are, Google?
Come back when you’re a multinational corporation physically embodying the threat of a societal panopticon in order to more efficiently sell Authentic™ skinny mom jeans to hipsters, loser.

The memeing (#augmented reality break, #chronofelony, #the year is, etc) serves several purposes…
As for the writing style, it is what it is, you either read it or you don’t.
If you only want the actual serious stuff, I recommend the #flagpost and #policy tags.

I was really expecting to be accused of misogyny, actually. I’m trying to calculate how many levels of misdirection this ask is on.
Maybe it’s about this post?
They can’t undo Toxic Masculinity, because they don’t understand Masculinity, and they don’t want to.
…because that would mean understanding things about themselves that they don’t want to understand, either.
In which the “they” is actually Mainstream Feminists.
Patterns of male behavior are in part driven by what straight women like/don’t like, or more accurately who they treat as hot/not hot, who they date/don’t date, etc.
Undoing what the Mainstream Feminists call “toxic masculinity” would mean that straight women, on average, would have to change, which would mean they’d have to first understand how cishet female preferences shape the very male power/dominance/status hierarchies they ostensibly oppose.
However, Feminism does poorly at attributing agency and power to women (beyond some of the “rah rah, girl power” stuff), as it’s more politically useful to present as the unpowered underdog.
are you a “makes fun of otherkin” anti-sj or are you a “writes thousand word posts about intersectionality and the evils of normativity” anti-sj
I’m “thinks otherkin are ridiculous since that’s not a realistic variation on human brain designs, but supports their right to morphological freedom in the transhuman future”.
Everytime an anti-sj/”skeptical”/whatever says that using the right pronouns for trans people is a matter of courtesy I want to scream in the void
What’s wrong with saying it’s about respect/courtesy?
if it is about respect, then you misgender people you don’t respect (as we see SJ do to any outside The In Clique) and then accurate pronouns are something you must earn by adherence to their ideology
It’s about winning the local battle (pronouns), since it’s easier than winning the war (trans is legit), and maybe if the local battle is won people will go easier.
But it does have that side effect.

Challenge: find a blog that criticizes tumblr culture, but doesn’t make fun of completely innocuous kin stuff.
OH HEY this is right in my wheelhouse! I recommend:
And myself, if you don’t mind sifting through the dross of complete shitposts and Maleficent fanart for the occasional gold of a real post.
omg thank <3
what really annoys me is when people to about the subreddit tumblrinaction and are like ‘i liked it when it was just making fun of otherkin,now it’s all about SJWs’
really? the ONLY bit you were ok with was making fun of the people pretty much trying to do their own thing and even if misguided weren’t harming anyone?
When it was a baby subreddit (i remember those times) it was way less mean-spirited and we were even fans of some otherkin bloggers (but also, I’m going to note that a lot of otherkin bloggers were super vile for no reason)
What’s the SJ value if I think Otherkin is ridiculous and undermining transgender people, but also support their morphological freedom in the awe-inspiring/terrifying Transhuman future?
