I honestly believe that the worst part about the way our society treats women isn’t that it’s so dehumanizing, mysogonistic-tendency-creating, viewing them as nothing but sexual objects, subjecting them to over 400 ads today on how they’re not beautiful…

It’s that we’ve taught the women that it’s ok to “joke” about it just like the rest of the world.

The “jokes” wouldn’t be funny and the way we’re treated would be a lot different if women didn’t believe the same thing is true.

I think Karkat is wrong about Jack/Bec Noir being the cancer.

lizzledpink:

First, let’s just establish the fact that Karkat could be wrong. While he is firmly stating that he believes Jack Noir to be the cancer he created into this universe, he gives no support or firm reasoning. This leads me to believe that Karkat is defining what form he thinks his cancer has taken based on the assumption that Jack Noir is the cancer. Jack Noir, as the primary destructive force in the kids’ Sburb session, would seem to be the most obvious person to take the cancer’s direct form.

However, the cancer could still be something else - perhaps, something that caused Jack Noir’s actions and destructiveness in the first place. The cancer’s form might not be “ALL CONCENTRATED THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF ONE HOSTILE AGENT IN THE SYSTEM, WITH AN INSTINCT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IT HATED,” it could just as easily be something else, and Karkat could simply be guessing - with the “certainty” that a leader needs - as to its true identity and nature.

What if instead, the cancer of the universe was a bit more like a real cancer? Cancerous cells in a body multiply not out of conscience, not out of active bloodthirst or destruction. They are simply cells doing what they were made to do, only, they were made wrong. A mutation convinces the cells that they need to multiply, without inhibition - in order to help the human body, even. They aren’t aware that multiplying actually does damage. The intent behind the multiplication and the sequence of DNA that makes it happen is to heal the body, but uninhibited by the unmutated sequence, it hurts, and then eventually, kills.

I think that the cancer could actually be…

Let’s not forget that she is of the Light aspect. Fortune and Knowledge, according to the speculations in the wikia. She’s fortunate that all of these things worked out in the end to create Noir and make Karkat assume it’s him that’s the cancer…. And the latter half of her Land name is “Rain”, something which is notorious for hiding things of importance to a plot in many Romantic/Gothic stories. She’s supposed to be obscure about the number one most important thing to her character, also showing as to why Noir would strike Karkat first, rather than her.

Also, LOLAR is based off of the colour scheme CMYK. When mixed, they create the colour ink printers we know today and also the colour black. Black in the culture that Hussie hails from is known to be something unfortunate (irony? You can’t tell me that HS isn’t full of it) and something that foreshadows death or mourns it. Huh… wait, what does cancer left unchecked usually lead to? I forgot.

stridemother replied to your post: ever see a post where you want to reply to it but…

are you fuckign vagiueblogin about me

Do you just assume everyone is vagueblogging about you when you coffeeblog??

ever see a post where you want to reply to it

but the person who made it is probably too busy and you think you’d just bother them?

I’m a trans man who dislikes the tumblr social justice “trans* community”. Here’s a list of some of the things they say that I dislike and why

stridemother:

toplioncub:

“But if you reject me based on my genitals that’s cisse-

People have preferences when it comes to genitalia of partners. That’s life, being rejected sucks but someone is not oppressing you by not being attracted to you. You come across an entitled baby by shaming someone for lacking in attraction to you. Stop crying about it, move on.

“Die cis scu-

Does that phrase really solve anything? The first time people learn of the word “Cis” should not be after the word die. The phrase accomplishes nothing. Telling people to die is not ok. Justified anger or not. That phrase is the worse idea anyone can come up with. You’re not going to get anyone’s respect by telling them to die.

“Sex is a social constr- 

Anatomical sex is not a social construct. Sex is something that exists in nature, human females and males have different biological characteristics, that is reality. We evolved this way for the purpose of reproduction. (Ofcourse some people are born who don’t fit into the sex categories as neatly as others but that doesn’t negate the existence of biological sex).  Can we please put the sex social construct argument to a rest. It wont suddenly exist the more you say it.

“OMG not only women menstruate some men have va-

 I’ve seen this too many times. People derailing a post that has nothing to do with trans people and then making it about trans people. Trans people make less than 2% of the human population. Nobody is going to mention us every single time they talk about something. Seeing a post that says “girls have boobs” and feeling the need to mention how not all girls have boobs, is pointless, it accomplishes nothing and is honestly just plain annoying to see. Want to fight for trans rights? Well, instead derailing posts about women and abortions to add your two cents about how some people who aren’t women have abortions too, why don’t you instead focus on issues like trans people being forced to be sterilised in other parts of the world? Or the fact that trans people are raped and killed for simply existing in some other places? Or that some can be rejected jobs or housing just because they are trans? Focus your time on issues that actually matter instead of wasting time on tumblr derailing posts that have nothing to do with us and being a pain in the ass.  

FUCKING THANK YOU

This is exactly why I try not to get into any of that stuff
Because really people doing this are trying to be white knights in shining armour, unable to be penetrated because there are so many

but in the end it’s making a worse name for those experiencing the “hate” than before and it’s taking a relatively negative if not manageable situation worse

This is just a forewarning to tell you that about four chapters for Moments of Silence are going to be put up in rapid succession

I just want to point out that Tosh is a satirist. 

Satire:
Noun
Plural: satires

The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

He makes fun of the world’s problems to get people to look at them. A lot of people don’t understand satire. So while the way he attacked the woman that stood up against him wasn’t a good idea, think about it, there wasn’t really much else to do and still stick to his original thought. “Rape is always funny.” No, it’s not. BUT he’s getting people to look at the rape epidemic! 

Read A Modest Proposal and tell me that it’s a good idea to eat babies. 

Stop harping on him. There were a million things better that he could have done when that woman stood up and fought the satirical comment, but he’s also human. He was making a point. And we all make mistakes. 

He has also already issued an apology to the woman. I’m not defending him. I’m defending why I’m not attacking him. 

chendelure:

hey so i know this is tumblr and we all have a lot of different opinions but

fuck wasps

don’t FUCK wasps,

talk to them gently, let them know you care. Take them to a bar, or even a nice night club. And when you finally go to bed together…

swat the damn thing until it’s dead and run away because you’re about to be hit by the horde.
