Wait, that's old news. What's the new avocado toast that rich people think we're squandering money on?

Even on tumblr, most people will tag it so people like me can filter it. I'm not clicking the post, but if it's the word I think it is, then yes -- it elicits an immediate involuntary trauma response in me, so even on tumblr I filter it.

I'm not saying not to use it, but I'm really thankful when people are thoughtful about it. There's a reason it's generally considered a slur. May have something to do with me being older and growing up in a very much not safe place for LGBTQIA+ people, so my experience with it was ... not good. Wish I could move past that, but I have my coping mechanisms like what I described above.

No thank you. I don't even know how to filter stuff on lemmy. I know my comment is long, but basically I want to say I appreciate the thoughtfulness

@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I'm so glad you understood because I was a little bit scared to share.

And honestly, I really hope it does get generally reclaimed so that other people don't need to feel the way that I do when people use it. But I sure appreciate it being tagged!

Yeah, I've seen ignorant takes about that on tumblr too, from accounts I thought knew better. Genuinely disappointing to see.

The number of comments here that seek to immediately discount what you are saying is deeply troubling.

A lot of people seem to think things like sexism are a personal failing or deliberate act as opposed to a systemic issue that affects us all.

Hi, I'm going to chime in here as a male survivor of SA.

They are distinct in that the problem is far more pervasive toward women than men. If I may recommend some reading about this, the book "Everyday Sexism" by Laura Bates explores this very thing and was a big eye opener for me regarding what women experience just by existing in society as women.

This in no way diminishes the experience and trauma of people like myself, but this is a greater societal issue that disproportionately affects women. That's what we're talking about here.

Similar to how anyone can experience discrimination, but we need to talk about the specific groups and larger systemic issues lest we lapse into the "all lives matter" way of thinking.

Then they put her in an institution for the rest of her life, all because they thought it would hurt their political careers.

In response to her condition, Kennedy's parents separated her from her family. Rose Kennedy did not visit her for 20 years. Joe Sr. did not visit his daughter at the institution at all.

Just the most soulless people ever.

Which Star Trek was it? TNG?

Thank you. I've been meaning to rewatch that series for some time now.

I'm not sure it's so much the rules. There are some really bad instances out there, most of which are defederated from the more popular ones because they're so filled with things like what you described.

The difference between this and reddit is that most of the instance admins aren't really interested in making a profit, don't have to answer to things like advertisers or media perception, etc. so they're more interested in creating a positive community for their users.

Yeah I've got my own playgroup, and while it's got its own problems, I think it's still so much better than playing with some salty randos at the LGS.

Regarding proxies, I bought a couple non-sexy ones on etsy so I wouldn't have to take my most valuable cards with me, and now like 50% of my recommendations are big tiddie anime proxies. Even my search results have them inserted, even when I search for something completely unrelated. That site is wack.

LinkOpensChest_wav OP ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I like it!

I ended up discovering this site called printing proxies where you can create your own design, and I think I'll use that from now on.
