Before following, consider:
I identify as a transmasc non-binary person (he/they/it)
I am diagnosed with a Cluster A personality disorder
I am a fujo and like old men
I like hard kinks
My humor and opinions are EXTREMELY unorthodox
My aesthetics are these four pictures
Its actually quite funny to be explaining to people what my cannibalistic drives entail and what that means for me, but also seeing the “you’re a terrible person” commentary like lmao yea no shit that’s why I voluntarily got psychiatric help for it dawg
This was part of a larger more specific thread actually, I just reread it and realize I left the implication this was about a specific subject, but after a bit I realized that this is just a problem that’s broader than any one incident because it happens a lot and often
I haven’t expressed it on this account, because it’s a newer view of mine that I developed in hiatus but you guys have to remember most of the discourse in LGBT+ spaces is dominated primarily by white queers, especially white femmes, which makes a lot of this harder to discuss
I have personal experiences with this, I have friends with personal experiences with this, it’s not like it doesn’t happen, it’s just not touched on because it’s not considered worthy of actual examination despite it being majority reason why people turn on these spaces wholesale

Like, gods forbid you ask why there’s an abundance of trans spaces entertaining documented and evidenced rapists, pedophiles, racists, domestic abusers while pushing anyone non-white and (trans) masculine out of these spaces or forcing them into silence
There’s also the very likely, under appreciated aspect that people who push these buttons don’t have any deeper thoughts than “hmm…button”
This is part of why I don’t like these hypotheticals, because humans are indeed stupid and contradictory
People keep arguing about the nature of humanity being either altruism or selfishness because of which color button they’ll press but I genuinely don’t think people want to hear that humans are selfishly altruistic or altruistically selfish
There’s a non-zero chance people pushing the blue button are doing is to ensure that their own circles are protected in case they don’t push the blue button and there’s a non-zero chance people pushing the red button are expecting some reward for following everyone pushing red
And that as someone who does rely on harder kinks as a form of coping mechanism to work through my feelings, I don’t see any difference between “horrible, disgusting, traumatic 😭😖” and “horrible, disgusting, traumatic😈💋” execution wise
Okay what if I say the continuous treatment of sexual assault as some life ruining traumatic experience that’s disgusting and some unspeakable egregious sin is also fetishistic and extremely unserious? And produces an unrealistic expectation of what a victim’s reaction SHOULD be?
Something I learned as a long time giant horror fan is the fact that "some" people get extremely uncomfortable and despise the idea of sexual assault being represented as what it is (a traumatic, disgusting, awful experience) rather than a "lol fetish thing or funny joke". Sigh.
You don’t have to agree with me but you should know that I hate it as a sexual assault victim because I feel gaslit that my reaction was somehow wrong, that I should be weepy about it as a traumatic event, not just irritated about it as a mild inconvenience to my sex drive
For someone who joined in 2022 and who’s been on Twitter for a while my views haven’t really shifted any direction other than further to the bottom of the political compass
Saw a post a while back of British folks teasing Americans for being afraid of ticks and it made me realize they don’t have lone star ticks out there…
My mom got bit by one and now she’s can’t eat meat or dairy ever again. Like ticks are crazy scary out here actually.
I can tell you I don’t have one because I like arguing with people, and if people can’t read the very honest bio and pinned then they don’t deserve to be treated seriously
Don’t look at me, I think this CIA nuclear comms experiment has gone on long enough! I’m just saying a majority of you are going to hate the reality that this mindset is gonna produce and you won’t know it until the black mirror is a paperweight and everything collapses over it
People are going to Anti-AI their way into the internet no longer existing and I doubt a majority of you are actually prepared for that reality and what that’s gonna actually do to you and society as a whole
Genuinely think a lot of you going on this Butlerian Jihad purely because of AI existing—in forms that have already existed in small pieces for years now—are not actually prepared nor desiring the full extent of what that means for you and everyone else
