Invading other countries and violating their soverignty has been what constituted the majority of french history for at least the past 500 years
Comm!
Hello everyone, the US Senate is conducting a survey to get the opinions of people on issues such as a ceasefire in Palestine, America funding Israelβs weapons, and the TikTok ban. Please share and take the survey, let your voices be heard. (Non Americans can participate )
This survey is NOT BEING RUN BY THE SENATE.
I am begging you to read the website URL. It is being run by Republican Senator Thom Tillis. His name is IN THE URL.
He is a senator who violently opposes everything that left-leaning people support. This survey is being done for campaign research so he knows how to pitch his campaign to get people on his side. Filling this out is helping republicans with free campaign research.
THIS SURVEY IS NOT BEING DONE BY THE SENATE. THAT IS WHY THE QUESTIONS ARE FRAMED SO BLATANTLY BIASED.
the best yaoi is written by straight men who don't know they're writing yaoi and the best yuri is written by lesbian women who want to inflict you with a brain disorder
unreliable narrators my beloved. reading from the perspective of a liar whoβs deliberately obfuscating their depiction of the world my cherished. relying on the reader to ascertain their true intentions my dearest. books that trust their readerβs intelligence my treasured. stories that question the nature of the narrative itself my darling
So p/atreon is amping up its lockdown on nsfw material, gumroads is amping up its nsfw material-
Pornhub is currently not available in texas.
KOSA keeps coming closer to getting actually passed-
Can people please just admit that nsfw is being driven underground? That adult artists are being banned and pushed out of their spaces?
And dont start saying "oh just the yucky stuff." No, this is *ALL* Nsfw.
We are losing spaces left and right...
Not only that, it feels like we creatives are being killed. And that isnt exactly hyperbolic.
Paypal implemented taxes not that long ago, a hit to those who use it. Artists especially. Midjourney and other ai, stealing artworks, having people think less of artists.
Platforms kicking and banning artists left and right.
It feels like being an indie creator is being choked out of possibility. That you have to be born rich and lucky for your creative dreams to come true.
"oh you're just a porn addict its not that bad"
Its not that bad until your stuff is banned.
We had ROE VS FUCKING WADE thrown out the window. You dont think we could have LGBTQA+ rights thrown out too!?
The internet is becoming SO HOSTILE to creatives of all sorts. Its fucking heartbreaking.
Its like we're entering nsfw prohibition of the internet, buy a 160 dollar keychain for a 'free' picture of a dragon fucking a Volkswagen π
Exactly. And if people think it's just 'porn' being banned, they're wrong.
The lgbtq community is going to be the first to be thrown under the bus, especially with states like Missouri proposing laws where teachers are not even allowed to address a trans student by their preferred pronouns.
In other states, merely dressing as you identify is now being deemed as 'pornographic' and a crime.
It doesn't matter how 'wholesome' you think your queer art or writing is. It's going to be lumped in with anything lgbtq, and as far as the alt-right is concerned, it will be seen as immoral 'porn'.
This ban is the alt-right taking yet another step over the line to see how hard we will fight back.
Give. Them. Hell.
KOSA is the next step, and if it passes, we're fucked.
There is a planned lawsuit against mastercard nsfw policies (as it all trickles down on every monetized platform that USED to host nsfw) i hope it goes somewhere https://www.tumblr.com/taikeero-lecoredier/745142469891670016/lawyer-up-literally-i-think-itll-be-the-only-way?source=share As for KOSA,take the time to learn about it and help fight against it https://www.tumblr.com/taikeero-lecoredier/709890130733826048/these-twos-bills-are-very-bad-for-the-future-of?source=share
Also, for the people still uncertain what counts as 'nsfw'
Michaelangelo's David counts.
The Willendorf Venus counts.
Every millennia old stone or bronze statue depicting nude men and/or women. Every painting, every tapestry, every painted vase.
This isn't just 'icky porn', it's stuff that is entirely nonsexual depictions of nude human bodies too.
(I'm pointing this out bc every time I see this argument SOMEONE chimes in with 'oh but they don't mean REAL art!'. Yes, yes they do also mean your narrow definition of artistic nudity as well)
all of this is important & true but worth mentioning that the first people being thrown under the bus in online sexual content policies are sex workers. we canβt leave sex work out of these conversations.
I was going through the anti Jason Todd tag because I hate myself and want to understand where people who dislike him are coming from and one thing I kept seeing was annoyance at Jason fans who claim that Jason is female coded and realized that the term βfemale codedβ might not be the best term to describe what we mean.
A female coded character in literature and media typically means a character that has no specified gender or otherwise does not have a gender but is obviously meant to be a stand in for a woman or female. Kind of like how Starfire has no specified race (due to being an alien) but is still obviously black coded based on the way sheβs drawn and treated by the narrative.
This is slightly different than what we mean when saying that Jason is female coded. Itβs not that Jason is literally supposed to be a stand in for a female character, itβs that the way a lot of characters treat him and a lot of the tropes used on him are things that usually saved for female characters, not big buff men like Jason.
To start with, being Robin is narratively (or at least was) very similar to being a woman in a story. Robin is a role made to complement Batman (who we all know is basically the ultimate male power fantasy). Robinβs role is to be an accessory to Batman. Robin can be smart, but not smarter than Batman. Robin can be strong, but not stronger than Batman. Hell, Robin is often kidnapped and used as a literal damsel in distress, a role often regulated for women as a whole.
What sets Jason apart from the other robins (except for Steph) in this regard is that they were allowed to be characters outside of Batman. Dick might not have been the βmanβ of the story when heβs with Bruce, but when heβs with the teen titans suddenly heβs the smart one who has all the answers. Jasonβs Robin was never really allowed this.
Then we get to the most, controversial, part of Jasonβs female coding. The fact the he was effectively fridged. Fridging is usually only referred to as frigding if itβs a female character, but Jasonβs death checks pretty much all the other boxes needed. An incredibly brutal death that was more about Bruceβs feelings on it than Jason himself.
This is especially apparent when compared to the other Bat characters. For all the female coding, the only other Robin to actually be fridged was Steph (and we all know about the misogyny surrounding her death). Barbara was also kind of fridged during the killing Joke. The only female character to escape this is Cass (to my knowledge). When you look at it through this lens, the fact that the only other characters to be permanently damaged like this for Bruceβs story are female, itβs not hard to see where the idea that Jason is female coded comes from.
You can even find this in Jasonβs origin story. Poor little orphan is saved by benevolent billionaire is a role usually saved for little girls, like in Annie.
Despite what you might think, this even continues after Jasonβs revival. Jason is still used less as a character and more as a motivation for Bruce. Heβs regularly called emotional and hysterical (terms usually used to refer to women).
Jason is first and foremost a victim. A role performed by women in most media. Men are expected to be stoic and βrise aboveβ the things done to them as to not be victims, as continuously shown by the was characters like Nightwing are not allowed to be effected by the horrific things they go through. The fact that Jason is shown the be angry, and sad, and emotional, constantly, and the fact that heβs punished and vilified for it puts him in a place much more similar to a female character.
Thereβs a reason that so many Jason fans (that like him for a reason past βantihero with gunsβ) are female. For most characters, when you swap their genders there would be a pretty clear and big difference in the way their story takes place. If you swap Jasonβs gender, the story takes place identically.
A lot of this is best shown in menβs reactions to Arkham Knightβs version of Jason. In that game, Jason is similarly angry and emotional, albeit for slightly different reasons. He is also still unmistakably a victim. Youβd think the men playing would like him. After all heβs a big cool angsty guy with a lot of guns and muscles. Instead, a lot of menβs thought that he was whiny. That his feelings were annoying.
Thereβs also something to be said about how his autonomy is regularly undermined by Bruce (specifically in Gotham war) and how his decisions and feeling are constantly treated as if theyβre worth less than Bruceβs, but thatβs a discussion for another day.
i decided all plays are time loops btw. itβs true because they keep getting performed over and over and over and the ending never changes and they can never escape it. if you even care.
So Iβve been teaching 6th grade since January, and one thing about my female students which made me upset to realize is how many of them are obsessed with skincare. I've heard the girls in my class discussing the EYE CREAM they use. Like tf you mean eye cream? You're ELEVEN!!! I'm a decade older than you and have never even touched eye cream!! The most skincare a middle schooler needs is cleanser and moisturizer, maybe some acne cream. Who tf is selling you all this other stuff? Who tf told you you needed all this?
It hurts me to see. Their brains are too young for these types of insecurities π no 11 year old girl should be obsessed with wrinkles, I wanna beat tf out of whatever tiktoker made them believe they needed skin that perfect
Do you know how fucking miserable it is to watch a group of 11 year old girls obsessively check their skin on pocket mirrors? And hear them talk about how they need new products to fix βimperfectionsβ created by tiktok?? I just taught them last week what the OCEAN TIDES are. I helped one of them spell the word βconductionβ yesterday. They just learned what the atmosphere is. Who the fuck is telling these literal children that they need eye cream??!! When I catch you!!!
Thereβs no results
You have to pick
And one and 2, electricity and Wi-Fi does magically work
if you want to actually materially address child abuse, the single most important thing you can do to start is give children the legally enforceable right to leave any situation they no longer want to be in.
church, extracurriculars, summer camps, school classes, their biological family's houses. notably, these are the places that child abuse is enabled by the child's inability to just fucking leave if they need to. they can't walk out of church if their youth pastor touches them inappropriately; they'll get punished for leaving. if they walk out of their house because their dad hits them, the cops pick them up and give them right back to their dad.
children need the legal autonomy to leave abusive situations in order to even begin to usefully materially address child abuse.

I know that canonically Jason is more of a Punk/Metal/Rock guy, but DC editorial itself will need to take him listening to blues and rap from my cold dead hands
