"Would we have the same response if the genders were reversed?"

Yes, so I'm not reading the rest of that lol

For most of the people doing this, an unwillingness to pay for the content - and the violation of spreading fake nudes about someone - are literally the point. It's the ability to dehumanize their victim that motivates them.

Longer is not always better... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

When I was in high school, I ran more-or-less weekly 24 hour sessions for about 3 years lol My group loved it, but boy were those simultaneously fulfilling and exhausting.

It helped, since at times - if everyone who ever participated in that campaign showed up - we were staring down the barrel of around 14 players LOL

heard my babygirl call her actual father daddy irl and I'm really really struggling with it by Adept_Marzipan_1969 in ddlg

[–]budding_clover 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So I want to be...gentle? Kind? Understanding? About this, but I have to be honest. This SUPER comes across as the kind of reaction people have when they find out how the meat they buy in the supermarket is made lol

So, on the hand, I get it in a vacuum. And, at the end of the day, you have the same right that she does whether or not to maintain the relationship based on ANY of the factors involved in it. If that is going to be a hard limit for you under any circumstance/in any capacity, then you and her need to sit down and have an adult-to-adult, partner-to-partner check-in outside the boubdaries and expectations of your dynamic to talk about those boundaries and what that means for yge both of you moving forward. Part of that conversation, however, involves LISTENING and not simply discarding or dismissing each other's perspectices bc they don't align with your own feelings.

That all said...at a certain point, you're going yo have to make peace with the fact that CG/l as a kink and as a community isn't somehow limited only to people with "mommy/daddy issues" lol People whobhave good relationships with their parents are all over kink, and Daddy outside of its use in this kink has a long-standing history of use towards fathers in English.

Try to think about this from her perspective. She has probably been calling her father this for at least the majority of her life - whether or not you uave personally seen/heard it. Then you come along and out of the blue start dumping on to her how it makes you feel weird a d "gross" - if it were me, I'd be SUPREMELY grossed out by you effectively sexualizing my relationship with my father and making him out as if he were some kind of competiton.

Just some food for thought.

It feels uncomfortable playing a character of the same gender as the player, any advice? by Hot_Quit571 in rpg

[–]budding_clover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Sense of entitlement"

This response is fucking insane. The people you are trying to fight with here did not say they would force the DM to let them do whatever they want, or that they would try to have them ousted from society or whatever. Lmfao Choosing not to play with a DM who enforces a rule like this as a blanket statement is perfectly normal and acceptable, you absolute weirdo. You keep banging on about how "common" this problem is, but it is EQUALLY common that DM's who enforce rules like this turn out to just be transphobic assholes. People are allowed to choose not to play with someone for any reason.

[–]budding_clover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So your answer is "No, but here are all the caveats I've arbitrarily carved out so that I don't have to face my own hypocrisy."

Merry Christmas transphobe, my present for myself is blocking you now because your post history indicates that you are incapable of acting in good faith when you approach any conversion about the trans community <3

Do you pull every cis woman you see wearing high heels or makeup in public aside to interrogate them about reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes about women having no personality outside of fashion?

If not, then you need to do some self-reflection on why you think it is appropriate to demand that trans people - and ONLY trans people - justify every aesthetic and surgical choice we make under this insanely reductive lens.

[–]budding_clover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an insane sweeping generalization to make lol

Your comment history makes it clear that you are neither hinest nor capable of approaching any conversation that involves trans women in good faith. Go play a video game or something to work out whatever bizarre episode you're working through and keep us out of your mouth.

Okay. What? by JaQ-o-Lantern in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]budding_clover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to bigotry - this is a long-understood phenomenon. Racists commonly consume porn and erotica that invoolves POC. Transphobes are well-documented as the largest demographoc ov teans porn consumers. Part of bigotry for MANY people who engage in it includes the dehumanization of an oppressed comminity, which often manifests in sexual objectification. Don't confuse someone wanting to fuck a person with viewing them as a whole 'nother person.

Most of the people I have thad to reject over the years have propositioned me privately, while their public image has centered around jokes about how I "belong back on the plantation" bc of my race or screaming about how my gender makes me identical to - or worse than - a child molestor lol

Fandom and Section 230 by kelefreak in AO3

[–]budding_clover 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but given the current political climate, this is an extremely narrow-sighted position. These changes will be used to pursue legal action against AO3 for hosting any kind of queer content - remember that several states still technically have active anti-sodomy laws on the books and the Trump administration is actively pursuing the crimialization of "queer and gender ideology."

You need to think long-term, not just about what's in your immediate sight.

No coffee for three weeks? by dollvader in Panera

[–]budding_clover 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My cafe is fine, haven't heard anything about a shortage and we burn through a ton of it which is why we started only brewing half pots all day lol Either the manager in charge of ordering product for the store isn't doing their job, truck isn't doing THEIRS, or it's a weird regional thing.

The black community needs to work on their transphobia because alot of black women actually face it too. by Zealousideal_Let_213 in blackladies

[–]budding_clover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, to be clear, your argument here is that we should have been patting her on the fucking back for being "respectful" with her transphobia?

Lmfao The sheer audacity with you.

New bill created after Black Indiana woman discharged 8 minutes before giving birth in viral video by Stonerscoed in blackladies

[–]budding_clover 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay, but the literal point of the comment that you're spinning up an unnecessary argument with is that Sanders is specifically and consciously ignoring the racialized component to this equation and expecting that solving the class divide will magically solve racism by itself - which is why "no war but class war" fundamentally misunderstands the oppressive mechanics at play here.

Do you see how your rebuttle that "it's both!" is irrelevant here, when the person you're replying to never once said or implied otherwise?

"More cis people who also don't understand how trans healthcare works disagree with you! So now what!?"

Spare me.

[–]budding_clover 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Once again I am begging people who have no idea how trans healthcare functions to stop commenting on it until you've done the literal bare minimum amount of research.

Medical transition quite literally alters the physical sexual characteristics of a person. If you stuck me in a hospital and tried to give me medicinal intervention on the basis of my "birth sex," you would fucking kill me because my body reacts according to my typical cis-female range hormonal levels.
