my sister: *gets a b+* “not my finest work” it’s honestly pretty unfun growing up in a household where an A is the absolute normal, a B is barely acceptable, and a C - which is a passing grade, by the way - is more or less implied to be utter failure.

the collapsing of “antis” into a suppos

via http://ift.tt/2i3ubIb:
the collapsing of “antis” into a supposedly coherent class is one of the nastiest rhetorical devices in discourse. it more or less literally means “people who are against us, whoever ‘us’ is and whoever they are”.

like its nasty in fandom discourse w/ the equivocation of being against underage shipping/abusive shipping/a host of particular pairings for a variety of reasons/rapefic/'darkfic’, whatever the hell that is*, as though these are somehow all the same issue or even similar? and it leads to people talking like “antis” are a community of people who want all fic to be g-rated vanilla curtainfic forever, as opposed to diverse individuals opposed to specific themes for varying reasons.

*ive seen it used for serial killer AUs, villain aus, fic with relationship violence, fic where bad things happen to a good protag, fic with serious examinations of canonically cartoonish violence, and more

and in Community discourse it’s absolutely fucking wild like… anti what? anti queer, anti ace, anti aro, anti mogai, and what do these all mean? opposed to the actual people, opposed to the terminology, opposed to the ideology? nah just Antis. and as though it’s a nonoverlapping group with, you know, queer, ace, and aro people.

lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity

anyone who wants can hmu to read my 14 page essay about underage content in fandom from the 90s to 2012. it doesn’t cover current discourse. I’m gonna radically alter it and toss it up on the ao3 after doing about a million other things. anyway it’s got some interesting stuff (I’ve been told) about early underage fandom. like or reply and I’ll give you a link.
