I don’t believe in any God at all lol. I approve of referring to God with female pronouns, though, for the reasons stated in response to your earlier ask (link). Who’s to say it’s even the Christian God Thandie was referring to, especially since she’s also an atheist? It’s not all about you lol. Also don’t lump Jewish people in with you, the concept of the divine in Judaism includes the feminine for some and there is a diversity of thought.

I don’t understand what’s so great about referring to God with female pronouns.
Ummmm because conceptualizing God as exclusively male is a patriarchal construct that’s been used to set men up as the “default” of humanity and women as lesser in the eyes of the divine? I mean what’s wrong with using the female pronoun for God? Or they/them or it, for that matter?
Hi, It not a question per se – I just need to get it off my chest. I was browsing a blog and BAM! right in mhy face – a r/lo rape art with the guardians holding her down in front of Snoke. I’ve seen a lot of twisted fandom shit but I felt just physically sick back then. I know people have the right to create and publish their shit but wtf has to be wrong with people to create and share this kind of content. Thx 4 listening,eh.
Holy shit I hope they tagged it properly so minors and people who don’t want to see that shit can filter.
twitter*com/ashlinthejedi/status/1041064269641658369 did i hallucinate kyle ron throwing her into a tree and mind-raping her? poe’s impulsive but as far as i know has never treated anyone he genuinely cares for (finn, leia) like shit so this makes no sense to me???
[Twitter user Ashlin! @/psykylogist Poe Dameron is actually a living anarchist and y’all insist that he’d treat Rey better than Ben? The only thing that man has higher than Ben is his kill count…]

I like how they think “anarchist” is some kind of count against his character. Maybe they’re using it interchangeably with “terrorist?” (Terrorism and extremism are common talking points against Poe, I wonnnnder why.) I may not like Doomerey but I do enjoy how hilariously threatened Reylows are by it, maybe because it’s still better than their ship despite being a whole lot of nothing. It used to be Finn they used to accuse of killing more people than Benny, funny how it’s Poe they’re attacking now.
For extra amusement points watch this person being torn apart in their own comments section and get all pissy 😂
I oppose abortion because it’s unethical. My opinion wouldn’t change if I were a woman, or an atheist, or if men could give birth. A fetus attains personhood faster than the law says it does, and I believe that abortion should be reserved for extreme cases that threaten the life of the mother, or when the child is a product of incest. I believe abortion in the case of rape is punishing the child for its father’s crime, but I believe it should be an option at a trauma psychologist’s discretion.
But people who abort for convenience disgust me. And men who
force women into abortions are evil people. And I know I’m going to get
hate for this, but women who abort when the father wanted the child to
live disgust me almost as much as men who force their s/os into
aborting. But women who get abortions are not monsters, I want to make
that clear. Except the few women who believe abortions are infanticide
and get them anyway; those people are sadists whether abortion is murder
or not.And yes, women who believe abortion is infanticide and promote
it anyway exist. They’re easy to spot. They believe they have a right to
literally kill someone, rather than your average pro-choicer who
doesn’t believe abortion means killing anyone in the first place.
Thankfully they’re rare and confined to the extremist regions of the
pro-choice movement.
Fetal personhood is irrelevant for the purpose of the abortion debate. No living being, whether or not a person, has the right to use an unwilling person’s body in order to sustain their life. You can’t decide for another person whether their refusal to provide their body for the use of another being is justified. Whether the reasons are rape, incest, or “convenience” as you put it, it’s each person’s right to decide whether they will provide their body for a fetus to live. Pregnant people also do not owe it to cis men to bear children for them, because people are not incubators for others’ use. Okay? Okay.
Also, as someone who went through nine months of pregnancy and labored for the three longest days of my life to give birth, I would have slapped you if you’d told me to my face that pregnancy and birth are an “inconvenience.” You really show the level of respect you have for the process of pregnancy and birth when you dismiss it as a mere inconvenience.
You’re not even making sense with the infanticide part of your already nonsensical ask. Maybe some people, a minority according to you, who get abortions are in fact evil. So? There are evil people anywhere. They get rights over their own bodies, too. That doesn’t pertain to the debate in any way except to demonize cis women who get abortions.
Oh, and some men do get pregnant because trans men, among other genders, exist. Doesn’t mean anti-abortion rhetoric is any less misogynistic, of course, because for some reason your crowd loves to erase the existence of trans people.
For a moment I thought you were saying that you were disgusted by people who got abortions when the partner wants to keep it…and I was very concerned at first. *phew*
Zomg I can see how it looks that way. There has to be a better way to format multipart asks 😂

korr/se/ra reblogs and agrees with goldbatg/nder who is lesophobic and a very big pedophile apologist so I wont even want to hear a word that comes from them let alone how they see antis
Idk is goldbatge/der a pedo apologist? They seem to stand for the very modest proposal that people should not be harassed and attacked solely for creating age gap fiction, which I agree with. Doesn’t mean I like that kind of thing, doesn’t mean we can’t discuss framing and authorial responsibility and the kinds of arguments used in support of ships that could apply to real life (although conveniently, the people who do no more than this are also lumped in as harassers and abusers–what a gr8 silencing tactic!). But overall, “don’t suicide bait people or purposefully trigger them” seems to be pretty mild stuff.
Btw I’m also not in love with the way this person represents fandom racism discourse or how they seem perfectly fine with erein/0n, who among too much other shit to list has called d/verseh/ghfantasy a fascist. Nor do I agree with their lovely take that all antis are pedophile apologists. (Wow I didn’t even know that about myself, thanks!) So the usual anti-anti miscategorization, false accusation and other bs, but not pedophile apologism as far as I can see. And the only thing relating to lesbophobia I could find was about how the all-pink lesbian flag doesn’t represent all lesbians, which doesn’t sound horrible? I mean I’m not a lesbian so I’m speaking from the outside on this of course.
Slee/mo is a guy and a big time re*lo
Holy shit I’m so happy he’s blocked me. A lot of them have, thank God.
I don’t remember ever meeting a male Reylo, unless it was one who just thought Rey and Kylo were going to get together because Finnrey has no basis in canon and Reylo was telegraphed (that’s exactly backwards.) …Imagining a man who actually SHIPS Reylo, is INVESTED in Reylo, is terrifying to me.
I have heard stories of male reylows and seen comments that appear to be by male reylows, and none of it is good. There’s the story of going on a blind date with a guy who shipped reylow because he said it made more sense. He also believed, mystifyingly, that Finn and Rey couldn’t have children–or at least the right kind of children, I imagine (link). I’ve also seen comments by what appear to be anti-Finnrey and anti-Finn racist dudes appear below Finnrey fan videos, at least one of them pro Reylow (link, see comments by user Mike Scanlan. Racism and antisemitism at link). So yeah, all reylows can stay far away from me but male reylows in particular need to get several galaxies away.
Just gonna throw this out there, I didn’t see anything super off kilter about JF’s words. I totally agree that in a larger context it’s important to acknowledge that it wasn’t a healthy relationship & she cut him off, but I think it’s a totally fair point to say that ppl reach for an analogue like a romantic relationship b/c we can’t fully know the experience they are having b/c we don’t have the Force. Not that it’s super accurate, even he said that, just that there’s a reason people go there
My problem is that in going there, people have to ignore a LOT of what actually happened between the characters. I can think of much better analogies, like the forced intimacy of being made to share your feelings and secrets with someone who’s always looking to use them to control you and get at you. This is something I go through in a real life relationship that is extremely difficult to let go of, where I’m trying, so painfully and slowly, to set some minimal boundaries–something that the other person guilts ME over and calls ME cruel, abusive, and ungrateful for. I envy Rey’s ability to sever the connection in an instant and to feel nothing for the man who tried to break her down and mold her to his own ends, because for me it’s a decades-long process, not days or moments.
So yeah, I get some kind of feels when this shit gets put in a positive light. Reylows romanticize my most painful experiences and the manipulative tactics that scarred me for a lifetime. They validate my abuser’s own rhetoric, that he is a tortured soul who I am responsible for fixing by shaping my entire life around pleasing him, and I don’t like that and I speak against it. Fuck me, since that makes me a mean puritanical abusive harassing anti.
