In case you forgot who Sharron was, let me remind you:
Radfem/terf/GC ideology leads to far right extremism. Because that’s where it stems from. It has ZERO to do with feminism.
They conspire with anyone and everyone, as long as they share one common goal: Their hate for trans people. Their desire to eradicate us. Everything else comes second (if at all)
So, I’ve reached some new milestones! I’ve bound a book with silk moire endpapers. I’ve bound a book in leather, even though it was still learning-quality leather, and it had been largely pared before being handed down to me (I’m working on it! leather takes so many knives, and this one just arrived today). And I’ve used heated brass tools to do some blind tooling! Just straight lines for the moment, I’m working on consistency more than anything else, and still figuring out heat/pressure/etc, but oh my god.
And…. I’ve officially bound my own writing for the first time!!! This is in honor of the anon who reached out to me last year. I wasn’t able to answer their question in the affirmative, but it made me realize I’ve done a lot of work in this arena, and it would make a lot of sense to collect as an anthology
And I haven’t given up my wicked ways, I’m just writing about exciting new blorbos at the moment. Also, as I was going back and collecting text, this writing slaps, I stand by it. So the title is very tongue in cheek, this is very good writing, but!
YEAH, BABY!
This does cover a little more ground than pure noncon, because I haven’t written all that much of that, this is supplemented with a lot of material where consent is technically given, it’s just not given in a good way. It’s a very melancholy book in some sections, but I really do think I do a good job of writing sex where neither person actually wants it to be happening, and one or both of them is using it to self-harm. Unsurprisingly, Starscream shines in this arena, and I stand by my writing for him, I proudly recommend my own archives.
I did also write a quick little intro to the anthology, just an overview of the what and why, and specifying that this is the first time I’ve put my own writing in a book. Only took me like 140 books to get around to it, haha!
The book is subdivided by fandom, approximately in chronological order. The one mcu fic would properly go in the middle of the transformers fics, but that wouldn’t have been pretty. And I wanted the starclonus series to all go together, the fic to fic flow is important. I finished a star wars fic last week, but still have a tgcf wip that would belong here, that kind of thing. The bulk of this book is homestuck and transformers, but marvel, xianxia, and star wars all show up too!
This was so rewarding. I still have a lot to learn about working with leather, but even as a sleep-deprived amateur, I’m having such a delightful time! I also have unfinished leather and dyes and knives and no adult supervision, so I have the power to make a hellacious mess next time I get restless, amd I’m so excited

LCSW Erica Woodland launched the National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN) in 2016 to create “a healing justice organization committed to transforming mental health for queer and trans people of color (QTPoC) in North America.”
NQTTCN states that “we do not see our communities or our identities as problems that need to be fixed…We recognize that systemic oppression and degradation (colonization, white supremacy, ableism, patriarchy, queerphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, capitalism, etc.) lead to our experiences of suffering, trauma, and mental health issues…We recognize the ways the mental health system has been used to pathologize and criminalize our communities…We honor the traditions, creativity, and cultural practices QTPoC have used to build resilience and survive.”
Love it when people act like proving “rape or incest” exceptions for abortion are even possible, lmao
Quick, prove you were raped so you can access an abortion! How? I don’t know! Maybe you’ll have to get a rape test done at the hospital and prove you have sufficient bruising? Maybe it’ll require filing charges? Maybe it’ll require a full ass criminal trial which is gonna take longer than 9 months, lol.
Prove you were a victim of incest! How? I don’t know, because if you’re a victim of incest you might very well be a young child who doesn’t have the emotional strength and knowledge to even describe the abuse that’s happening to you, let alone advocate for your rights. And even if you are an adult, I dare you to go in front of a judge and detail the sexual abuse from you brother/father/uncle and come out of that untraumatised, all to get permission to have access to abortion. Make sure you get the courage up in just a few weeks!
What about threats to life of the mother exceptions? Quick! What’s the line you draw there? If a mother has extremely high blood pressure and diabetes and is at risk of death early enough in the pregnancy, is that enough for a termination? What about if the mother has an ectopic pregnancy? Or do we have to wait until the mother is suffering from sepsis and shock, blood poisoning maybe? Do mental health issues ever factor in?
It is literally impossible to place such restrictions on abortion that actually work, that are feasible and acceptable to those that would otherwise ban abortions outright.
Might just uninstall tiktok after watching someone sincerely criticizing Russian soldiers for raping Ukrainian women and children and using the word “grape” and putting the emoji in their captions to avoid the video being taken down

I had no idea people like that existed. Or had the money to rent a house.
in addition to two comments reading “FUCKING EPIC” and “THIS A THOUSAND TIMES THIS” op elaborated further in another post:
Holy shit, is this still being posted?
I figure I owe /tg/ a bit of an update on these guys.
Their leader, O he of one eye and little common sense, nearly had his visa revoked for these kinds of shenanigans. One too many arrests meant that his right to stay in the country was contested, and he had to go to court to defend himself and prevent his visa from being revoked.
I was his ride to court, and had to testify to the board that he shouldn’t be deported for lack of common sense or social normality.
His defense? A written speech, about three pages long, about the rights of man, the education he has received here, and the opportunities for a one-eyed machinist. The spirit of his crimes were all in defense of people who would otherwise suffer. For other witnesses, he had some of the random people he’d helped out, including one memorable point where a woman, nearly on the verge of tears, pointed out how he’d taken on a guy threatening to rape her and carrying a knife by whipping out a fencing saber, disarming him, and mocking him in his thick Swedish accent so that the girl could call the cops. Something like a dozen people all showed up, explaining how this dude, despite his eccentricities, made the country better.
He was not deported, and lives here to this very day, stalking the streets in musketeer garb, rescuing drunks, and dispensing his own brand of justice.
He always seemed like a big enough piece of work in more than enough other ways, on the public political front. But yeah, looks like he is indeed likely as major a tool on a personal level.
Basically, the only redeeming feature there is that he really likes dogs, and has actually worked for some sensible animal welfare stuff. As Mr. C was just observing, that is SO FAR from enough.
(Brought to my attention by Mr. C, who wondered why Rosindell was trending when he got on Twitter earlier…and OH.)
A decent sample of political highlights in replies here, btw:
every day I get exhausted with people not knowing child marriage is legal and happening in America. In most states the age limit is something like 13 (iirc) and all that’s needed is parental consent and it is regularly used to cover up rape, usually of young girls by older men. And no one talks about it and everyone assumes the age is 18 because this shit couldn’t happen in America right?
One of the things I found most upsetting about VLD and the fandom was the weird moral double standard they applied to Lotor. According to the VLD writers, Lotor had just gone too far to be redeemed and HAD to die a horrible death. Then in the final season they turn around a redeemed Haggar, who abused her son, tortured people, and committed multiple genocides. But she, according to the narrative, still had good in her despite being objectively worse than Lotor on every level.
Then there’s the fandom itself. Fuck. The tidal wave of hate began before the character even made his first on screen appearance. I remember a bunch of anti types screeching and whining about how you couldn’t separate Lotor from his previous incarnations, including Sincline. According to their logic, because Sincline was rapist and stalker, VLD Lotor was also a rapist and stalker. And if VLD was to redeem Lotor it would, by extension, redeem Sincline as well. They were the same character. Period. Expect,this logic again seemingly only applied to Lotor. No one was insisting we hate Coran because his GoLion counterpart was sexist. Or we that we hate most of the male GoLion pilots because they were 20 something year-old men who spent about half the series ogling a teenage girl. And, strangely, there were no posts tell us how we can’t like Zarkon or Haggar. Hmmm, funny that… These people were exclusively, and weirdly, obsessed with making sure no one liked VLD Lotor. And to this day I haven’t seen any of them post a coherent answer as to why.
Really, I could go on a lot of longer, but I think you get the picture at this point. It’s been something that has bothered me for awhile and wanted to get off my chest.
Sorry I haven’t been super active, twitter has been absolutely disgusting and wild recently.
TW Sexual assault
Honestly after some anti drew art of a real life pro ship minor being gang raped after they discussed their history with sex trafficking, I’ve been at the end of my tether when it comes to patience with antis. Been trying not to blow up at them, but Jesus. And now they’re telling some 13yo Warrior cats fan to kill themselves.

Link to the twitter thread. If you boost one thing from my blog and Twitter it should absolutely be this. I cannot overstate how disgusted I am right now. I’ll add/link image transcriptions when I can.
Just in case I haven’t made my stance clear enough, I wanted to lay a few things on the table.
Tumblr is cancer, and the entire anti movement even more so. No one on this website knows how to do research and instead prefers just to make up their own definitions, spouting them as truth. Fujoshi does not mean what you think it means. Fujoshi are not inherently bad people. They’re in their right to ship whatever they can conceive. As it has recently been brought to my attention, let me also say that lolicon does not mean what you think it means. Loli consent is literally the worst case of Western bullshit I’ve ever seen. Its shorthand for lolita complex. Which by the way, Lolita is a name. There is nothing inherently sexual about the name. Its been twisted by trigger happy morons, but the lipstick or the fashion? Absolutely nothing to do with pedophilia in any way shape or form.
As a fandom old, I like and support “bad ships” because I have the brain capacity to wrap my head around the fact that these are fictional characters, not real people. If Inuyasha aired today, everyone would be having a fit about not only the Kagome x Inuyasha ship (15 year old human female x 50+ year old half-dog demon) but also the hugely popular Sesshomaru x Rin pairing (god only knows how old dog demon x 10~ year old human female). That being said …
My favorite Golden Kamuy pairing is Ogata x Asirpa (30+ year old man x 13 year old girl) and thats just the fucking facts. I like it. A lot. Its a good pairing.
I have no qualms about people shipping age gaps, whether legal (Endeavor x Hawks) or with minors involved (see above).
I have no qualms with people shipping incest. I’ve read a LOVELY Endeavor x Shoto series that was very cathartic for me regarding my own trauma and I’ve read plenty of BLmatsu fics as well. And to be honest with you? Incest isn’t even bad in real life, so long as its not rape. If a 25 year old man consented to having sex with his 22 year old sister? Its a non issue.
I harbor rape fantasies (being on the receiving end) as does a significant portion of the female populace. Stories about noncon or dubcon are not bad things. The people who read and write them are not bad. Its SUCH a prevalent fantasy that a published book written by a female author I’m currently reading wrote a staged rape scene. No trigger warnings. No notes that said “just so everyone knows, rape is not okay”. No deflecting comments to make sure that the reader knows shes not romanticizing it. The scene literally just IS.
Multishipping is not an endorsement for cheating (something else that was recently brought to my attention, much to my disgust). If someone wants to write about a female character fucking the ENTIRE male cast behind their backs, thats their prerogative and its really not that deep. Cheating in real life is bad because real people get hurt in the process. Fictional characters cheating on fictional characters is angst fuel. Plain and simple.
Any ship being labeled a “bad ship” is fanwank and nothing more.
Trying to tell people how they can and cannot enjoy their fictional media is wrong, and every anti should truly be ashamed of themselves for making people feel bad over something that doesn’t even exist.
I was raped by a father figure from the time I was 11 until I was 18 and I can assure you without a shadow of a doubt that there is absolutely nothing in shipping or fandom that even comes close to the real thing. Equating the two is honestly offensive to anyone whose actually been in that position and I honestly, truly believe that every anti who says they were abused in some fashion or another is lying. Because anyone whose really been there knows that fictional works on the internet are of so little consequence it doesn’t even ping on the radar. Its harmless. Real life though?
And no partaking in these things does not magically turn you into a rapist or a pedophile or anything of the sort. The man who took advantage of me for YEARS didn’t wake up one day and decide to fuck his 11 year old stepdaughter because he read a fucking incest fic on FF.N. He was raped when he was a child and the cycle of abuse continued.
Media effects reality but not the way you think it does. The power of suggestion only works enough to convince you that you need the newest Iphone or you’ll literally die. It does not somehow make you believe that real rape or real pedophilia is fine and dandy. It just does not work like that and anyone who thinks contrary needs to seek professional help ASAP. No amount of rape fic or lolicon doujins is going to make me go out and rape real children. Period.
Oh, and for the record? Theres nothing wrong with ageing up characters either. I don’t see the point (refer to this entire post) but if it makes someone else happy then so be it. They’re not pedophiles for wanting to age up a fictional character they have a crush on so THEY’RE more comfortable, especially considering that said fictional character will always be 15 in canon. Like these fucking mental gymnastics are astounding. Literally pump the brakes for five seconds and think about this.
If I had the power to magically warp into every anti’s house, or just anyone who believed any of the above “Bad Things” were true, I’d honestly kill every single one of them. Like, no joke. You’re a waste of space. You’re a waste of oxygen. No one loves and no one is ever going to love you with that attitude.
Peace.
that’s…….i…someone please launch a police investigation into this person’s life. this is actually a very concerning post.
This person said it’s okay if a man has sex with his sister. What the fuck?!
I will continue to be away for a bit as I’m starting the process of pressing charges against my rapist and trying to move out of town away from him. I’m not sure how long this is gonna be, how much more stressful, etc and I can’t keep up with my mental health and this blog simultaneously unfortunately.
With this being said, I will still try my best to set up a queue in the following days and try to check up once a month.
It is considered not only morally acceptable for young children to read the Bible, but it is actively encouraged even in very puritan areas.
Therefore any topic that is in the Bible - which absolutely includes incest, rape, physical and sexual child abuse, genocide, murder, torture, and racism - is acceptable content for media that children may be able to access. Especially since all of the above is presented in a positive light within the Bible.
If a guardian doesn’t want their child accessing that sort of content, the guardian has many measures they can take to prevent it. Starting with protesting children being involved in religious rituals when they’re too young to understand any of the topics mentioned.
And yes, I’m very annoyed this has to be stated. Claiming that children reading fanfiction is causing social issues is like blaming whale farts for climate change; it’s a deliberate smokescreen meant to distract you from doing things that actually help.
If any more of you clowns are tempted to leave an essay in my notes about how I’m wrong to be unhappy about the stupid verdict in that stupid trial please just go ahead and block me instead. I don’t give a shit what you think about Amber Heard. Really. I don’t. I’m just gonna block you if you try it. Just unfollow me. I’m begging you.
Everybody wants to come out of the woodwork to be like “well actually I think thadfk fhdkd fkhdhnfnfn” SHUT. UP. Know what I’m not worried about? Who did what. Know what I amworried about? The fact that a fucking jury just ruled that describing oneself as an abuse survivor without naming one’s fucking abuser can constitute defamation.
If survivors need to meet the legal standard for proof beyond a reasonable doubt in order to be allowed to talk about their abuse and/or assaults publicly then most of us will be unable to talk about those things publicly anymore. Guess what? I couldn’t prove to a court that my rapist raped me either. That doesn’t mean he didn’t fucking do it. Get a grip lol
*sigh* I can’t believe yall are gonna make me say this depressing shit again, but the majority of rapists and child molesters already don’t go to prison. Only a small fraction of sexual assaults ever get reported, only a small fraction of those ever lead to arrest, and an even smaller factor of them ever get convicted and face prison time.
You repeatedly ask prison abolitionists “but what about the rapists?” Well I’m asking you, what about them? What does prison do to prevent sexual assault when most of our politicians and police are the ones committing the assaults? When prisoners themselves are sexually assaulted, often times by the guards?
Stop falling for the propaganda that prisons keep dangerous people away from you. They don’t. The dangerous people get to walk around every day with guns and badges.
I’m not reblogging much on this URL anymore - especially regarding social issues - but I just want to get this out there in case any one of my 1k followers is wondering…
I’m pro-choice.
I believe abortion is a necessary procedure sometimes; and often that necessity isn’t just about physical health, but also mental wellbeing & financial security.
Because of that, it’s up to the person immediately affected to be well informed of the risks (physical, mental & social) to decide if it’s the right course of action for them.
I’m not exactly pro-abortion, though. What I want is for the world to progress to a need for no abortions (just like I want it to progress to a need for no chemotherapy). But the world isn’t there yet, so we have to make do with the limited options that are available.
First and foremost, I am PRO the LIFE of the person with the uterus (& related organs). Their needs come first.
I feel sad that anyone needs to make that decision for whatever reason. I feel sad that whatever birth control methods they or their partner were using didn’t prevent the pregnancy.
I feel angry when that situation is forced upon them - through violence, coercion, and medical/government interference.
My faith is Christianity, but I was not brought up with the “abortion is murder” mindset (either at home or in my church).
However, it was present at my Christian high school. There was a talk from a woman who had supposedly been an “aborted baby”. She said she had a disability because of that. She was there to tell the girls not to have an abortion should they get pregnant too young.
I had no interest in sex so it wasn’t a factor to me & I wasn’t socially active so I couldn’t be a “rape target”…
[Sorry, I was brought up with thismindset. I was told it wasn’t the girl’s fault if she was raped, whatever she’s wearing, but was also told not to go to certain places just in case it happened (like, it would be my fault for being there). Because there are sinful non-Christian people who do these horrible things. Also sinful Christian people, but I wasn’t to learn that for a few years.]
Anyway, point is I didn’t pay much attention to her warnings… But I did feel sick that the school thought it was important to have this woman around to talk to the girls at my school, and to basically imply that all abortions are bad.
The truth is, all abortions are sad.
And most are necessary (especially the ectopic ones, like WTF are people suggesting those can be saved?).
Some might not be necessary for any of the reasons I’ve given, but I don’t hate anyone for choosing it. I hate that their circumstance put them in that situation.
There is not enough justice in this world. I feel like there used to be a lot more, but I also recognise that was my middle-class white Australian privilege making it seem that way.
Not that my life was all that great, but I was definitely sheltered from most of the crap I’ve learned in the last 20 years. It’s been a learning curve to say the least, but one I’m grateful to be on. I just wish I could do more to improve society.
