the guy passed most of his life in the american deserts. He's just tanned

 

[neverendingmidi]

All of this is reminding me of when tumblr kiddies shrieked about Chris Pratt doing blackface in Jurassic World because the guy was tan.

 

[The Fair Lady]

I fucking knew they were gonna whine about Doomfist being a villain. Lucio and Efi don't mean jack apparently.

? But wasn't Symmetra a good guy last I heard? And Sombra is neutral more than working for a team, too...

And I love how they put all the asians under the bus for their melanin fetish.

Symmetra has good intentions but some people view her as evil because she works for Vishkar. And yeah Sombra's neutral more than anything but since she's helped out Talon that makes her evil too by OP's logic.

Typical black-and-white, guilt-by-association shit you should expect from tumblr.

They're all fish belly white from never going outside, so they're probably unaware that people get tans.

This feels like a seed of a good idea that's taken too far and ruined by Tumblr.

The conceit that artists deserve recognition for their work is hardly a bad thing, but this post ruins it by outright demanding that you give it to them, taking the time to guilt trip anyone who doesn't do so.

I understand that a lot of artists feel underappreciated, but Tumblr has a horrible habit of producing artists who think they innately deserve praise and admiration for their work (c.f. Rory), and posts like this cattily bitching about people who don't tow that line aren't helping at all. Do they not understand that people can make art or writing and keep it private? (Or that some of the greatest literary works of all time were never intended to be published by their authors?)

Spoiler: Bonus

OP bitches about people not taking her shit

Funny (by which I mean not so funny) part about people like this, at least on tumblr, are the types that shout "I SUPPORT ORIGINAL CONTENT", but then whenever something original gets posted it gets either ignored by them or stolen (Though I'd mostly just chalk it up to the internet being the internet with the vast amount of art and images it has).

Meanwhile people who write/draw for obscure series just laugh, because they sure as fuck aren't getting asspats on tap and don't expect to.

This thread is big and I'm not going to go through it to see if anyone's posted about it, so I apologize if someone has, but what's the opinion on Tumblr's views of trans men and the fact that even when they're closeted they still experience 'male privilege' because of the fact they identify as men? And also the whole "transmisandry" debacle, if anyone's willing to go that deep. A lot of these posts are older, but they still apply to Tumblr's current mindset. Like, it's a very unpopular opinion to say "trans men are alright, I guess".

I could make a post saying "I hate trans men lol" as a joke and people, not realizing I'm a trans guy myself, would agree with me and say "youre so fucking right!!!! kill all trans men uwu". Hell, I've seen other trans guys get death threats for trying to be positive towards themselves and do the whole "if youre a trans man youre valid!!! uwu" shit.

Nice to know that crushing depression that can only be treated with expensive surgery is a privilege.

Feminism, racial equal rights, higher prosecution for sex crimes, gender equality in the workplace, lesbian and gay rights, acknowledgement and compassion for legit body dysmorphia... what amounts to a century of civil rights activism is being effectively annihilated in less than a decade. It used to be funny, then it became infuriating, and finally, for me at least, it's reached a state of profound sadness. The fascists are the ones who keep howling about living in a fascist society. Not even the dimmest matchstick in the deepest cave.

Let me begin by saying that trans men face obstacles in life because they are trans, that is unavoidable. What is also unavoidable is that you will be privileged no matter what as a man if you are a trans man.

Over the last week I’ve seen a lot of people talk about having to be gendered correctly in regards to receiving male privilege. That’s looking at this entirely in the wrong way.

If you aren’t gendered as a man by others you may be denied certain privileges and that is a reality. You will be targeted like a woman for misogyny but you will also never experience misogyny as a woman does. You are literally incapable of having the same experience. This doesn’t mean that horrendous things can not be done to you however. What it does mean though is that because you are a man, and have always been a man you have always internalized the cultural soup of messages that we are bombarded with as a man. It may take some work to bring out what you have internalized because as trans people we create a disguise to try and blend in with our assigned genders for survival. That disguise comes about by others enforcing the patriarchy and attempting to make us be our birth designations. However that disguise is not who we really are, it’s not what is really inside of us.

So what does that really mean? What it means is that as a trans man when you hear messages like “don’t throw like a girl” you internalize the message that girl’s are inferior at throwing and you should not be like them. The effect of these internalizations should be apparent in how many trans men easily fall into line with sexism and misogyny. I highly doubt the trans men who enact misogyny are doing so consciously in an attempt to blend in with cis men as that would be so utterly malicious as to be true evil. No, they are just regurgitating what they have been taught about being a man. That fact is also that all of you do it. It’s not some trans men, it’s all trans men. You all think and do misogynistic things.

So what does this mean on a broader scale?

As men you have been socialized to try and dominate women and as part of that you enact and leverage misogyny along with transmisogyny. The ability to leverage these social institutions is part of your male privilege. That’s right, being able to wield misogyny and transmisogyny is part of your privilege. Even the most cis woman looking of trans men is still capable of being a transmisogynist and the closer you get to being gendered as a cis man the more access you will have to misogyny and the less you will be a mistaken target of misogyny. Do not get me wrong however, even trans men that are in transition are capable of dominating lesbian, feminist, women’s, and trans spaces because of the social capital that you are afforded for being a man.

[TW: rape]

A strong and disturbing example of this is the ability of trans men to rape and assault trans women and then leverage transmisogyny in the form of claiming to be “female socialized” to silence, and ostracize their victims.

A week prior to the time of writing this I witnessed a trans woman who was trying to talk about how trans men are capable of rape, be told by a trans man that she was the real rapist because of her “male socialization”. Then later in a discussion on this derailment (her being called the real rapist) while the trans women involved were rightfully calling the trans man a rape apologist for trying to defend trans men from being told that they are capable of rape, a DFAB non binary person who wrote from a position of authority, that position being as a victim of sexual abuse and from being the assumed only one, told them to stop calling the trans man a rape apologist. She literally erased the fact that numerous women involved in the discussion were not only survivors themselves, but that a trans man had been their abuser. This silencing of the abuse that trans women receive is endemic.

[end TW]

Speaking of using the “female socialized” argument, it’s part of the ways in which trans women are excluded from women’s, feminist, and lesbian spaces. By claiming to be socialized as women trans men essentially degender themselves to remain in women’s spaces. This argument inherently creates the opposite notion that trans women were “socialized as men” and therefore do not belong. This argument also often allows trans men to leverage cis women against trans women.

As trans men you are socialized as men. You have male privilege. You may not be granted full access to that privilege but for example neither are feminine cis men. However your other marginalizations do not negate your privilege. Gay cis men try to leverage that same argument. I can’t even begin to describe how often I have seen gay men try to claim that they can’t be misogynists because they’re gay. It just doesn’t work like that. Your other marginalizations may deny you access to certain parts of your privileges but they don’t erase them.

This is what trans women are getting at when we talk about your transmisogyny and your male privilege. We aren’t engaging in transmisandry because that is literally impossible. We’re not being transphobic and if you think we are that means you don’t actually see us as trans. We’re not being misogynistic because you are not and have never been women. Just like you call out cis people for oppressing trans people we are calling you out for oppressing trans women as well as the social institution which allows you to do so.

I'm pretty sure that trans men are more likely to be raped by trans women who think they're entitled to females.

 

[soryu]

Wait, so what I'm getting here is that people think that trans men are depressed being told they have male privilege is because they aren't "actually trans men but they might feel better identifying as non-binary"?? This is basically saying any "cis" man who feels offended at misandry should just choose to be non-binary. Or any Asian who doesn't like racism towards Asians would feel better if they poked around and identified as black.

Tumblr's been doing this thing since the beginning of the year where if you're gay, BUT you happen to be white, you're not oppressed anymore because racism is more oppressive than homophobia. If you're a lesbian Latina, BUT you happen to be cisgender, you're not oppressed anymore because transphobia exists and we need to protect all white women who are transgender first before we discuss racism within the LGBT community.
Oppression Olympics is at it's prime. We can't do this until THAT is taken care of first (it will never go away completely but SJWs think so).

 

[Android raptor]

Tumblr likes trans men when they're ~uwu gay soft nonbinary trans bois~ (aka straight cis girls who read too much yaoi and make no attempts to look remotely masculine) but otherwise trans men have been booted off the list of oppressed people for years. Same with white gay men, and lately white and straight women. I feel like white trans women are gonna be the next group to be kicked off, but that might be a while given how much they love trans women in general.

 

[DancinTim]

No one is being racist by calling Lucio a sweet boy.. Context matters, everyone calls each other boy/girl especially older teens and young 20 somethings. It is extremely obvious when someone is using the word boy in a racist way. Also that was just a response to a picture that the OP deleted because everyone was saying they were over reacting.
it is whitesplaining

Forgot to mention that this is an American issue and I haven't seen OP recognize that + they make/reblog art where is Reaper a flustered gay boy with Doomfist

Funny how one minute they stan hard for their "Latinx" brothers and hating Trump, but the moment actual latinos are coming in to explain their culture, they accuse them of being white and are pretty much "that's cute sweetie but ya see AMERICA CULTURE is infinitely superior to your dumb brown third world country".

And they say the conservatives are the racist! Tumblr should just come out at this point and openly say they hate latinos already, anyone who isn't black or a muslim is on their shit-list anyhow.
