anyway i’m tired of saying this but ā€œgayā€ isn’t a slur just because it’s used as an insult, it doesn’t have the same history of usage as the t slur/f slur/d slur/q slur, which are words forced on us to insult us. ā€œgayā€ is used as an insult and a joke because the thought of being gay is a joke to homophobes and it’s insulting to be compared to gay people. we’re weak, gross, etc, and we call ourselves gay, so people call things they think are stupid/useless/weak ā€œgayā€.

y’all know how much obnoxious people call shit ā€œautisticā€ as an insult? if you go on certain circles of the internet there are plenty of anti sjw-type people calling anything they think is even slightly stupid ā€œpure autismā€ and call people autistic over stupid internet shit. that doesn’t make ā€œautisticā€ or ā€œautismā€ slurs. like gay, they use it as an insult because it’s seen as insult to be compared to autistic people.

learn the fucking difference between people mocking our identities and using a word that has historically been tied to violence against us.

whats with the new bullshit ofĀ ā€œcriticism of softboys started with terfs trying to make fun of trans menā€ like correct me if im wildly wrong but i have literally never seen that and i dont really think terfs care about that much considering they dont actively target people besides trans women like…… this seems like another one of those things where people are attributing something toĀ ā€œterfsā€ as a vague concept of Evil rather than the actual group they are, just to dodge criticism

wait i didnt even think of that omg

so yea basically if you see people claimingĀ ā€œcriticism of softboys was started by terfs to target trans men uwuā€ its bullshit just trying to derail criticism. dont buy into that crap

really worries me to see teenagers seriously wanting older men as partners like… thats not good for you and its gonna get you into bad situations. no older man with good intentions would be willing to date a teen, if they reciprocate they are taking advantage of you and predatory

this absolutely goes for older women too ofc but there are some unique dynamics that come into play when it comes to older men preying on teens so its worth the additional emphasis

I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.

Whoever fucked this up should be stabbed

If I recall, they didĀ used to be the corresponding months.Ā  It was just when Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Augustus came into power, the months July(Julius) and August(Augustus) were added, thus throwing off the numbering of the calender.

Good news, though: whoever fucked it up did in fact get stabbed.
