PSA

Some of you may be aware of the utter shitfire that my blog has become for the last day or so. You can read the post that first made the issue visible (link), and/or the one where I tried to clarify my stance (link) followed by a cliff notes version (link). There are also a bunch of other tiresome back-and-forths that have consumed this blog, if you have the time and fucks to give.

Given that some people are calling me a reylow now and have expressed discomfort at interacting with me, while others have given their support, at this point I’m a little uncertain who is comfortable with me following or reblogging from them and I don’t want to unwittingly cross anyone’s boundaries. So if you no longer want me interacting with you, please block me so there will be no misunderstanding or discomfort. Thank you.

On the same note, if you want posts and art of yours removed from my blog before you block, let me know. I generally won’t count posts where you are not the op (that is, posts where you are part of the reblog chain) as “yours,” so if you want those removed as well you’ll have to specify. I will decide on a case-by-case basis whether I will honor that request, depending on the size of your contribution to the thread.

I will delete everything I can find but due to the spotty nature of Tumblr search there may be things I miss, so it would be prudent to do your own search as well after I have given you the delete notice. And of course, if there are any previous URLs you’ll need to specify those as well.

Additionally, Tumblr does not always show me comments added in a reblog and I might not be able to see and respond to delete requests if they’re in reblogs as opposed to asks or messages. If you put a delete request in a reblog and I have not answered, that is the reason so try my inbox or messages instead. If you want me to answer an ask privately, indicate so in words or add double asterisks**

As for the people whom I have blocked recently and who cannot contact me for delete requests ( @shropshiregirl79 and @santababyfinn), I have gone ahead myself and deleted all their content I can find on my blog. I have left up reblog chains and asks about the recent mess as a matter of record. I have also searched and deleted posts by muslimfinn and thotfinn, two past urls I can recall for santababyfinn, and if anyone can name others I would be grateful.

Recent asks roundup

Since there’s no need to clutter up this blog with even more of the same I’ll put recent asks in this post under the cut. If you want to be answered in a separate post fucking work for it.

Keep reading

You just ramping up with the condescending tone with people, especially with the black fans who sent you ask – honestly you would have been better just shutting the fuck up and none of this would have happened if you werent so fucking vague with your answers

Your being unable to comprehend =/= me being vague. And nah, this is my blog and you don’t get to tell me to shut up. You’re free to stay the hell away if you don’t want to see me talk, yet here you are anyway. Here, let me help you out with that.

Look I am fully on board wih the aims of the Escape the Corset (탈코) movement in Korea. Women don’t need to cater to the male gaze and they shouldn’t be pressured to use all their time and energy to look pretty. It’s a very necessary movement and I hope it keeps up.

That said, there’s also a subset in the movement who are not just escaping the corset themselves but actively shaming women who do wear makeup and saying they’re not true feminists, their minds are enslaved and so on. Yes, anyone can be jerks about a movement and take it way too far, but there’s a clear trans-exclusionary undercurrent to this rhetoric against the reality where trans women are unable to be accepted as women at all unless they perform femininity to degrees far beyond cis women.

To be clear, trans women should not experience these pressures to be hyperfeminine, any more than cis women, and easing the ridiculous beauty pressure is good for all women. This isn’t about discrediting EtC or dismissing those who adhere to it as shrill bullies. It is not okay to invalidate the very real problems that prompted EtC by saying “I wear makeup because it makes me happy!” or such shit. Shut up. Not about you.

At the same time we can recognize that the trans-exclusionary part of the movement is using it to paint trans women as enemies of feminism and male oppressors, when makeup may be necessary for them in a way it is not for cis women.

The EtC movement is admirable and necessary. At the same time, please be on the lookout for ways activism can be co-opted to isolate and demonize some of our most vulnerable sisters. Please don’t forget trans women in your activism.

“korean feminism centers the rights, safety, comfort and life experience of females, why can’t these white korean feminists learn how important it is to protect feminine males by yielding to social constructs that harm them and watering down their rhetoric to make it more palatable to said males, how dare they recognize females as the social class that their activism serves, what is their fuckin problem”

You know, even aside from your ignorant generic TERF talking points and deliberate strawmanning, I love how you’re trying to tell me, a Korean feminist, that TERFs represent Korean feminism. Your blog is also full of terrifyingly violent transmisogyny and I am now blocking without further ado, bye.

When TFA came out my dad wasn’t impressed with the attractiveness of the cast. He thought Daisy was “alright” but John was “funny looking” (I guess Finn does make some weird faces sometimes?) and Kylo Ren looked like a zitty teenager with a big potato nose (had to agree with him there.) But hilariously, he said the best-looking person in the movie was probably Harrison Ford.

lj-writes:

Yeah John is an actor with awesome comic chops and I think a lot of people used that as an excuse to pass him off as comic relief. He has plenty of serious scenes, though, where his heartthrob handsomeness comes into full relief. I know intellectually Daisy is a beautiful young woman but on a personal level she fills me with meh. Adam… omg 😂 I don’t think he’s a conventionally handsome guy, but I can see something endearingly coltish and and awkward in him. I wonder if that’s one reason people perceive his character as much younger? Harrison did look good lol.

And there you have it, @thephantomporg84 denigrating someone’s looks for not thinking Adam is handsome. This is how you know they’re an anti SJW btw, because “Trigglypuff” is a derogatory nickname trolls have given a Hampshire College student seen protesting a talk by Milo Yiannopoulos and other alt-right figures. As promised, asshole, you are hereby blocked. Sorry for not blocking this dillhole sooner @sifrin , I guess I assumed they’d get bored and go away on their own.

Denialism: what drives people to reject the truth

lj-writes:

Denialism can also create an environment of hate and suspicion. Forms
of genocide denialism are not just attempts to overthrow irrefutable
historical facts; they are an assault on those who survive genocide, and
their descendants. The implacable denialism that has led the Turkish
state to refuse to admit that the 1917 Armenian genocide occurred is
also an attack on today’s Armenians, and on any other minority that
would dare to raise troubling questions about the status of minorities
in Turkey. Similarly, those who deny the Holocaust are not trying to
disinterestedly “correct” the historical record; they are, with varying
degrees of subtlety, trying to show that Jews are pathological liars and
fundamentally dangerous, as well as to rehabilitate the reputation of
the Nazis.

It’s almost like… if European Jewish people were considered white… they wouldn’t have suffered genocide? Also way to miss the point, putting this on a post that discusses Holocaust denial–i.e. attempts to erase the genocide of the very people you claim are so *privileged* by historical remembrance.

Denialism: what drives people to reject the truth

Hey that other blog is stealing posts that aren’t tagged to them. Could you please do a psa on what tags are for THIS Finn appreciation blog and not for the one run by reyl0s? Thanks.

leg-grestrade:

finnappreciation:

I was really confused by this ask because I didn’t know what blog you were talking about, but then I saw them in my notes.

Tags for our blog are #finnappreciation
We also track #finnappreciationweek and #finnmetaweek which are also tags for our events. If you tag your posts with any of these tags, we will see them and reblog them.

– mod a

Heads up – these assholes have now rebranded from finn-appreciation to finnweappreciate. So make sure you block this blog if you do now want a reylo-run Finn blog reblogging your Finn content.

Just checked my block list and the good news is they had a url change rather than delete and remake. So if you already blocked finn-appreciation you will also have blocked the new url.

That other finn blog isn’t run by reyl0s they just accept Finn content from reyl0s because they run a finn appreciation blog not an anti reyl0 blog. So can we please stop this nonsense and get back to appreciating a character we all love? Please?

It is run by a r3yl0 and had all sorts of f1nnl0 content on it as well but thank you for your misinformation

Just a quick heads up for everyone. The other blog is named finn-appreciation (a dash in the middle).

And because someone inevitably will get their knickers in a knot. I’m not going to tell anyone else what to do. I’m telling people the name of the blog so they can decide for themselves how to act.

Like… they’re blatantly trying to confuse people with their url, and they’re even using an event run by @finnappreciation as their header to further the confusion. Luckily I’ve been around long enough to know having unconditional ship inclusivity in the description is generally code for asshole, including possible support for pedophilic ships. Forget reylow, I’m blocking for the dishonesty and potential ick.

Also
like… I’m not generally one to be too judgy about spelling errors,
but if your description alone has four spelling errors that a simple
spell check is fully capable of catching I’m going to side-eye your blog
just a little. To say nothing of the fact that they’re blatantly
ripping off another blog’s appreciation week. Or is the “Appriciation”
intentional? To distinguish their identically-named event by spelling it
wrong?

How the fuck did @thesovereignempress get unblocked by me and why is she interacting with me after she’s blocked me? If you want to find a group of harassers who are also strawmanning cowards look no further than reylows.

@jewishcomeradebot shit, that’s why some of the worst harassers keep deleting and remaking. Bet she’s having a grand time making use of this window too. Everyone remember to block @thesovereignempress again if you did so pre-delete.
