Fuck With Me

ok heres my hot take: women can make whatever fictional content they want i trust them to still be normal irl. men are mentally fragile, easily influenced and should not be allowed to read

It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.

Ok. Thank you. Carry on.

In case you needed any more evidence that the trans rights activist movement is insane, maybe this failed ‘Interview with a TERF’ will do it for you. It tells young people that they never need to have difficult discussions that might make them uncomfortable – they can just complain of their feelings being hurt & have any further conversation censored. Note especially how a few commenters even said Olivia was expressing interesting, good talking points, but that simply didn’t matter because they didn’t want to hear or engage with it. They voted for this, it was clearly signposted in case they didn’t want to read it: some say they even felt bad for reading it & shouldn’t have, but rather than taking responsibility for their action of choosing to read it, they instead say it’s a reason it shouldn’t be up in the first place. Truly a toxic, close-minded movement.

I can post the interview if anybody wants, but I’ve linked to the original thread if you want to read it there.

I can’t believe a bunch of men were like “actually, women have it easier when it comes to mental health because everyone already assumes you are weak, irrational, crazy, and stupid 🥺” and a significant amount of feminists were like oh shit good point

genderists look at the very few gnc women that girls have to look up to–they look at mulan, joan of arc, arya stark, anne lister, mary ann talbot–women who either pretend to be men for their safety (most of the time so that they can marry women, or go on expeditions, or enter into war or academia) or simply wear pants—and say ‘well actually, they want to be men’–>‘actually, they’re trans’ –> ‘actually, they’re men.’

it does not matter your intention, your reason for saying that, it matters the implication. you teach girls that no, you can’t actually be this, not unless you become a man first. 

and they look at gnc men like marquis de lafayette and marsha p. johnson and say, ‘well, actually, they’re women, see? because they’re wearing women’s clothes’. what do you think that teaches girls about what women are? woman is not a costume. man is not marriage with a woman. you’re just misogynistic and homophobic.

I also heard the game has antisemitism stuff in it too? Is that true?

all I've seen is long posts decrying terfs for being Nazis because the game that jkr wasn't involved in making has goblins as the red herring villains and a battle horn relic. I'm Jewish and haven't seen anything that makes me think it's intentional antisemitic dogwhistles so much as the reality that goblins as fantasy/folklore stock characters already have a 400+yr history of absorbing European antisemitism, though I did hear that some people fired from the game in early development were found to hold neofasc ideals or something.

The thing is I fundamentally don't care about the game: I don't game and, sure I loved harry potter as a kid, but I was never a superfan or even read/watched any of the sequel/spinoff stuff, and jkr wasn't involved with the game anyway. The only reason I know the amount I know about it is because I'm invested in jkr and the witchhunt against her, not in the neverending cashcow franchise that is HP. To say the least, I'm distressed that even when I'm only looking at jkr I can't avoid seeing 20 people a day cry nazi at anyone who plays a highly anticipated mainstream game on the basis that they're ideologically underwriting a woman they paint as a warlord despite her worst crime against them being an essay.

Idk if the game is antisemitic. I hope it's not, but if it is that sure sucks and is scary. not sure why I'm supposed to have a stronger opinion about it than about any of the other many games that allow you to simulate ww2 while playing as the literal nazis, and I'm not sure why or how the content of this fantasy computer game should impact me or my opinion of jkr when neither of us have shit to do with the game.

amazing how, in the midst of all these accusations of jkr's bigotry, I haven't even seen any names of the people who were actually responsible for the game's content.
