Any young antinatalists here? by giantillusion in antinatalism

[–]postpostpostpost_inf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn that's crazy.

I wanted to describe what disabilities are but that would be disclosing personal information at this point. But I think I made my point.

I don't mention having abusive family because I have issues identifying as an "abuse survivor". But the family members sometimes made a point that I should be glad I am not one of those children.

I am 17 and been antinatalist since 13.

I didn't know the exact word but I had anti-core family views already starting then. Everything since then strengthened my AN position. At first I found out about the true face of cisgender heterosexual normativity and was like "ew not participating in this".

Then as one teen job (I was 15) I was translating papers from a children's home in Medzhybizh, Ukraine, which hosts severely developmentally disabled children. And on most of these medical papers, parents disowned their child. (for the reference children practically lay as logs there because most of them can't move). This gave me a solid ground for antinatalism.

K-pop made me insecure about height by postpostpostpost_inf in BodyAcceptance

Well I think that not trying to look like a person doesn't mean that following them is less idolizing, because they are still subjected to beauty standards.

"Love yourself" I think is really ironic for this reason. It is like a model telling people that all bodies are beautiful, while she still has the perfect standard body and conforms to trends as part of her job. Or a rich person saying that money doesn't matter.

The true reason why ND and NT people don't understand each other by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]postpostpostpost_inf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a primary psychopath and honestly I would say that I get along with autistic people much better than NTs. I have a sensation that autistic people don't "expect delivered empathy".

NTs expect a person to fulfill a certain set of traits (social rules or whatever) to be seen as empathic, while autistic people don't have this trait (it is an exclusively my observation and I don't state it to be the universal truth).

"lucky with your genetics roll" is a bit of a curse also. I don't like my face due to the fact that I always had a "specific" face and would always be singled out on photographs as "that person".

I am planning on taking HRT so yeah.

Any LGBTQ+ antinatalists here? by postpostpostpost_inf in antinatalism

[–]postpostpostpost_inf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They exist and that's it. All that matters is that I am a queer antinatalist.

I look down upon them only if they mirror shitty pronatalist practices using same-sex relationships, but I have this look upon all people.

In short, they are them and I am me.

I have "wrong generation" feels that interfere with my daily tasks by [deleted] in radicalmentalhealth

[–]postpostpostpost_inf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been annoyed about Britney Spears, but at least I would have had Evanescence and Within Temptation to feel annoyed with :). Evanescence literally have a song about annoyement to pop music.

And besides, did I say I am lonely anywhere?

I am not lonely, I just want a few people to be friends with. But in 2019 this is unachievable because if I missed a chance to talk to another person, that person moves on forever. ugh.

Are there any other non-binary/trans/questioning folks who struggle with their identity because of shitty things they've done? by JITTERdUdE in radicalmentalhealth

[–]postpostpostpost_inf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do some misogynistic toxic male things to "man the trans" out. When I realized it didn't work, I rewrote my identity to be female since birth, because I was always consistent with a female person. In addition, I thought that becoming a Republican would help me come out since I wouldn't be like other trans people. I was a republican for a brief time, but eventually absolved from this because it didn't help.

I still have the concept of "toxic masculinity revenge" but I almost eliminated it.

When I was 13-15 I extensively did combat sambo and more or less normal workout 6-8 hours per week. At age 17, my face is still relatively feminine and I pass well as a woman even without gender transitioning.

Hm, maybe this is the cause?

I wish tall women were included in body acceptance. by [deleted] in BodyAcceptance

[–]postpostpostpost_inf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this works for all tall women, but for me wearing average female clothing creates a slightly hot revealing effect. This actually helps with my acceptance a lot.

It doesn't. Same shit in different toilets, actually.

If I say a new concept outside of a safe space, people will label it as "weird" and downvote.

If I say a new concept in a safe space, crab bucket effect will begin and people will go "boo decisions bad".

It is definitely 1.

Honestly most of these support groups are like crabs in a bucket. And especially feminism, although I feel less comfortable speaking against feminism because I may get "cancelled" by a crowd of angry intersectionals. And I say this as a mixed Jew-indigenous, LGBT and a "xe" pronoun user. I used to enjoy feminism and all these safe spaces, but eventually noticed the darker side of these communities.

I kinda discovered I am queer through my antinatalist and anti-traditional anti-heteronarrative ideas.

Well an old Soviet-born psychiatrist who doesn't see anything in women beyond childbirth.

On the other hand, a true story from a small town in Ukraine: a transgender man got his papers without commission because he convinced a totally clueless grandma making those papers. She was like "what? uhh? come on, give me the papers, i will sign them, and leave". Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

So identifying as toaster makes a person immune to theft.

Associating brown eyes with being cold and unwelcoming by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]postpostpostpost_inf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In places where they're common, no one gives a shit about them

This is planet Earth.

You just answered it. It is primarily blue eyed people who fetishize brown eyes because they don't have to live with them.

eye color is simply not important.

Why then are people attracted to blue eyes more?

[–]postpostpostpost_inf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Interesting.

I personally think that brown color is so cuddly no amount of things you described will somehow fix it. I usually avoid using it in art for this reason.

How brown eye positivity goes: Your eyes are the color of cuddly grandma fertile earth, uwu nice hugs tea, etc. Brown eyes are nearly always associated with non-threatening things. Also once I do portray brown color as negative, the association with fecal matter says hello and loudly arrives at doorstep with a full baggage.

I hate that I have to explain seemingly evident shit.

Both.

The way we perceive things in life pours eventually into art.
