New Crow Time 🎀🏅

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.

Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.

All Dividers are Feds. Stand united or die separately.

ANYONE who is trying to divide our community is a fucking Fed. That includes other queers who like to argue about who is and isn’t “allowed” in our community.

Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).

Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).

Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included  78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)

Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important. 

This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.

Be kind. 💜

“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”

Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.

The way transphobic cis gay men depict gay trans men is so weird.

Why did they give the trans guy a phalloplasty scar on his arm but no dick to go with it. Do these idiots think trans guys just get their arms operated on for no reason? Also, why is the trans guy more curvaceous than the cis woman in panel 1? Why does the trans guy have eyelashes but the cis woman doesn’t? In fact, no one has defined genitals EXCEPT the trans guy, who is drawn very specifically to indicate he has a vulva and not a dick… again despite the fact that he’s definitely had bottom surgery because of the arm scar.

I’m not even gonna comment on the random syringe just hanging from his leg, that’s too ridiculous to warrant critique.

Its funny, the artist both wanted to emphasize how trans men don't belong in gay men's spaces because they want to FORCE homosexual males into VAGINAL SEX! But they also wanted to shit on phalloplasty.

The artist of this is clearly just so focused on being transphobic that any logic goes out the window. Like, some transphobes will make trans men out to be super feminine hairless twinks who don't understand Real Gay Men's masculinity. And this person clearly wanted to that. But they also make the trans man explicitly hairy, which seems like exactly the opposite of that. Because they are both trying to say "trans men are too girly to be men" and "trans men are ugly hairy women."

They literally just threw whatever they thought could be most hurtful at the wall and then tried to pretend they were making some profound statement on modern homophobia

Schroedinger's gender theory strikes again: you are both and neither male and female, based on whatever hurts you more in the moment, and that can change literally second by second.

Is the trans man an ugly hairy woman or an ultra-feminine woman? Does the trans man have a penis or not? Is the trans man casually rejected by others or does literally everyone else join in rejecting the tragic gay man character instead? The answer to all of these is yes, whatever in the moment does the most heavy lifting to make the point that the artist doesn't like trans men and considers them outsiders.

Thisss I think this is something more people need to just realize.

There’s such a push for trans people to make themselves ‘safe’ or ‘palatable’ for cis women.

Trans men can’t be too masculine bc it makes cis women ‘uncomfortable’. Trans women can’t use women’s spaces bc it makes cis women ‘feel unsafe’. Trans men can’t use gender neutral langue for reproductive/menstrual care bc cis women feel ‘uncomfortable’ with it. Trans women can’t call themselves lesbians bc cis women ‘dont feel safe’ .

Like who cares. Cis women aren’t the center of the universe. And there’s nothing I can do to make cis women feel ‘safe’ around me without being a doormat they can walk all over. Me just existing as a trans man who is open about it and doesn’t let them misgender me makes them ‘uncomfortable’ so I’ve decided to just not care what cis women think about me.

Its transphobic security theater. Being safe isn't what matters, feeling safe is. And it's only (White) cis women's feelings that matter because their victimhood justifies patriarchal violence against queer people & people of color.

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

#whats arbitration someone help me

Bad news, @noodelzmop. Arbitration basically means that if you want to sue Discord for whatever reason, the dispute needs to be handled in house. Specifically, in their house. If you don't get this email out, you're basically signing away your right to legal recourse if they do criminally shitty stuff to you, like with the McDonalds app.

I have been told that emailing "I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord." With the Email you used for your discord account is enough for the notice but take this with a grain of salt as this was not said by a lawyer

reiterating that this only applies to US users

THIRTY DAY LIMIT BTW. I suggest taking sixty seconds to fire off a quick email with op’s recommended text. I have no plans to sue discord but better safe than sorry

So uh.... Anyone want some JaSka because I am. Fucking. FERAL FOR THEM

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY
