if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

I actually don’t mind that “dead dove” has become conversational shorthand for “fics with heavy themes where you REALLY need to pay attention to the warnings”. such is the nature of language. what i do mind is when people tag their actual fics with dead dove and then give no indication of what they’re actually warning about. that is useless. that helps no one. that is completely against the spirit of the meme. i will not be reading that

When the tags say "bdsm" and "dead dove" it means that the bdsm is, like, super duper bdsm.

When the tags say "dead dove" with no other clarifying tags, it's like walking down a hallway and having someone shout "BE ALARMED" and then vanishing into thin air with no further details given. Be alarmed about what.

[ID: A comic by Sophie Labelle (@assignedmale).

Panel 1 of 4: A random person tells Stephie, "We shouldn't allow kids to be trans because 80% end up detransitioning."

Panel 2 of 4: Stephie rebuts, "That number is from Kenneth Zucker's study from 30 years ago, in which he claimed to have "cured" some gender non-conforming kids of gender dysphoria with "reparative therapy"―a form of torture. Half of them never even expressed gender dysphoria!"

Panel 3 of 4: She continues, "The researcher's clinic was eventually shut down after he was revealed as a fraud, and his methods recognized as inhumane and unethical. His results were never reproduced.

Panel 4 of 4: She continues talking to the random person, "Actual, recent studies consistently estimate detransition rates to be between 1 and 2%". The random person dismissively replies, "Ok well I got my studies, you got yours. Agree to disagree."
