Misgendering 

I'm the "Oh yeah we stopped talking but I think I heard she's a guy now and working at a tech company" for a lot of people, and I frankly feel proud of my plot twist heavy personal narrative

after seriously considering the text, wherein the titular subject is named both as a "dandy" and said to call his feathered hat "macaroni" - a term that at the time meant fashionable, perhaps equivalent to modern slang of "on fleek", while being commended for being "handy" with women, i am inexorably drawn to one single conclusion:

yankee doodle is a fuccboi

cool fact: until last year, the bank of montreal only allowed you to have six character long passwords, and they could only use alphanumeric characters (0-9 and a-z), and on top of that, all letters were saved as their T9 equivalent (e.g. "ABC" became "111" because those are the corresponding digits on a phone keypad), meaning that there were a grand total of one million different possible passwords, for a bank with several million users

Disrupting the industry by funneling even more profit to even fewer people

not that we should talk about cisgenderism and heterosexuality the way we talk about bisexuality. it's just nonsense to act like something can stop being real if for one person it was an unstable or temporary identity.

we should instead talk about cisgenderism asn heterosexuality as norms which are imposed nonconsensually to universal harm, tied up with other ideological justifications for violence and exploitation, and an instrument for especial harm against those who cannot fit within them.

It's okay to enjoy something that's problematic; it is not okay to shut down critique because you enjoy it. :3

cisgender and heterosexual are transitional identities for many people that they later end up abandoning, but for some reason only identity shifts out of bisexuality get talked about this way, and trans, gay, bi, etc. experiences get accused of being 'a phase' instead of... cishet, which more or less everyone is forced to pretend to be from birth

I'm not a furry but I read the shit out of "Martin the Warrior" and drew a book report cover illustrating the final battle in all its glory

Redwall sucks because Brian Jacques invented weasel pirates and said to himself, "These are the bad guys."

Fuck off!

People on this website be like "I'm not a furry but....."

I'm such a hipster that I was feeling like an unemployable, immature, anxious failure way back in 2009 and it sucked ass!

So glad Harry Potter is over so I no longer have to hear about J.K. Rowling

pedophilia 

Tbh there was a lot a lot a lot of sexualizing of child actors and singers in the 90s.

I think about how that kid from Terminator 2 was more or less openly being abused by his on-set tutor and that was treated like he was a stone cold 13 year old hunk, instead of, you know, horrifying.
