What cringe culture shouldnt be about: kids having fun & enjoying things like videogames and making OCs
What cringe culture should be about:
Deku and BNHA Girls | My Hero Academia Chapter 246 Color Spread
What I love most about Gen Z is how unbothered but simultaneously extremely bothered we are in general
“I’ll probably die in my 20s and even that is an overestimation of my lifespan. I don’t even give a fuck I just want it to be over soon”
“I stg that if you old dumbfucks do not fix the damage you did to the earth I will put hot sauce in your contact lens solution. Also just vaccinate your kid Jillian they’re probably not gonna end up autistic, you absolute idiot”
i think it’s really weird how shippers have turned top/bottom into Gender Roles The Sequel and are stereotyping people’s sex positions based on their physical appearance, personality traits, or even mental health status. “which one of you is the woman??” has evolved into “which one is the sweet soft tiny anxious uwu bratty bottom???” which is arguably weirder and more invasive.
holy fucking shit people simulated the 302 neurons in a worm’s brain with software, put it in a Lego robot and it behaves like a worm

be nice to kids wtf. they r not small sized adults theyre kids!!!!!!!!!!! they dont know all that yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill kill you if you yell at a kid.
Asian fetishization is so normalized among kpop stans. There are so many ppl (especially minors who need learn better) that say they love “asian men uwu” and we learn to just ignore them and move on. There are tons of ppl out there that do this and its gross and seems impossible to educate them all. Plus there are a lot of ppl that will be stubborn and say we’re just being sensitive/ its a compliment/ asian men are nicer and a whole lot of other bullshit 😪 it’s tiring.
In hs, I had a classmate that said she had a “preference” for asian and white men. There are so many things wrong with that. We all know when ppl say this they mean east (maybe se) asians and it’s blatantly racist to non-east asian poc. And the thought process that asian men aren’t capable of abuse bc the idols/actors you stan are nice guys is disgusting. Also, asian ppl aren’t an aesthetic. Every asian guy isn’t gonna dress nice and making asian men into a dreamy fantasy is gross (not to mention it disregards poor asians, trans asians or anyone that doesnt fit your Ideal Asian.)
I could go on but i’ve said enough. I’m just asking you say something to people fetishizing east asians. You dont have to go into a full argument but tell them theyre being gross so if theyre willing to look into it, they’ll see their mistake and better themselves.
not to be starting homestuck race disk horse in 2019 but yknow what? I Will.
being an asian fan in the hs fandom is kinda, not great actually. in fact, it not only feels like we’re not here at all, that we’re erased, but its honestly? downright harmful. people treat the trivialization and fetishization of your culture to be,,, like a Big Joak. yall joke about weebs like these people havent been literally grooming and abusing asian girls, like we havent been made fun of enough for Their actions, like we aren’t already viewed as the strange punchlines to jokes that still seem somehow acceptable. its somehow funny to joke about how you hate every sign of asian culture that shows up throughout the comics, like how dirk’s kotatsu was dumb and pretentious as if people in japan dont literally live with one and use it every single day!
even asian-coding in characters get swept away in favour of other headcanons. even the megidos, who are as close to canonically asian as they possibly can be in a medium like homestuck, are often drawn white or something completely different altogether. the stridlondes are also heavily asian-coded, and the fans who do pick up on that, who finally feel comforted by someone like them as protagonists? they often just.. give up on that, because they see so little representation in the fandom. (theres only like one popular artist i know of that draws the strilondes asian? but like, hats off to u pal, youre fighting the good fight). also, it seems strange, to be represented so little considering almost 3 billion people on earth is asian, which is, Quite A Lot to be not represented a lot. dont get me wrong, i adore the outpouring of more diverse art of the kids, but a hard truth to swallow is that pocs being weebs/fetishizing asian culture, is just as harmful as white people doing the same. there is a world of difference between japanese dirk, trying to interface with his lost culture by clinging to the most performative and popular parts of it, than another dirk, appropriating people’s cultures because he thinks its funny or interesting based off a show he watched once. i love how people are like “wow the striders like anime and care about traditions and use japanese words and overall just seem like diaspora kids” and the conclusion they draw from that is “clearly,, they cannot be asian” bc a non-asian person being interested in those things is better than an asian person whose interested in their own culture i guess??
in fact, a lot of these narratives are so much more interesting once theyre looked at through their coded lenses!
Dave’s struggle with coming to terms with his emotions strikes such an interesting chord when the striders’ concept of irony and never showing their emotions Correspond so well to the idea of honour/face, where youre not supposed to show that youre Ever Sad or anything that isnt a positive emotion because it shows that youre a Failure and You Failed and that makes you a Bad Person, which is exactly what dave struggles with because hes So Guilty about it, which ties to the guilt and shame a lot of asian people feel about not being able to live up to impossible standards set by their parents, which is another theme we see reflected in all four strilondes.
rose’s strained relations with her mother are mirrored in so many of our second-generation lives and makes so much more cultural sense when looked at that way. the weird distance you hold from your parents, where you cant look each other in the eyes anymore, because every interaction feels more like a business transaction. you hand in your good grades and praise from teachers, talking about how mature you are, and they return with some present or gift that you don’t really want. you dont know anything about them, and they dont know anything about you, Not the person you Actually Are, anyways. but there is a yearning, to be close, to know eachother, but you only feel it in return when its too late. as well as her Obsession to be mature, to be smart and adult-like because thats what shes praised for, because you Need to be academically the best always and that means reading dictionaries until the sun goes down, repeating each word until they are engraved into your mind. always finding competition, subtle or not, because if you are not the winner, what are you? dirk’s wild performative love of japanese culture (which also, in turn, lead to non-asian fans literally trashing it like it was a funny joke to call someone’s culture lame and stupid) seems like ‘ironic’ weebism, but its also being Exactly the type of over-the-too performative reclaiming of our culture that so many asian diaspora kids do when they’re teens! they feel bad about pushing away their culture as youth, but they’re not quite mature enough to actually care about the rich history and ‘boring’ parts, so they cling to pop culture, to social media and something so much more easily consumable, like anime. which is not even to mention the idea of him trying desperately to connect to a culture that he has never grown up in, but still belonged to by consuming mass amounts of media, being Such an immigrant story. as well as his massive competitive streak and need to make other people as good as he is (but not better), is the type of internalized pressure that a lot of asian kids feel as well.
and all the stridlondes have various anxieties about not performing well enough, of not living up to a standard that they have set for themselves, feeling like even a single step back or even one mistake is a catastrophic failure that’s branded to you for life. Which is just as much of a mental health thing as it is like,,, an asian thing
this is getting really long so im cutting myself off here but please if you want to hear more about my Thoughts and Hot Takes feel free to shoot me an ask.
in conclusion: please treat asian people better hs fandom i literally beg you. like,, im Not tryna make waves but,, asian erasure in fandom is a huge issue and no one ever talks abt it!! dont trivialize, fetishize and erase cultures blease big thanks to @ernikerr and @wyndryga for encouraging me to go Off and helping to write this.
anyone please feel free to rb but non-asian people please watch your mouth
My aesthetic is stories about kids living is rural areas with supernatural overtones.
yeah people shouldnt be meanspirited and make fun of your harmless interests to your face for no reason but
1. you need to learn how to be secure in your interests, autism/adhd or not. its a life skill.
2. criticism shouldnt make you cry or get overwhelmingly defensive. worse things have happened then someone pointing out your interests have issues.
3. part of life is accepting not everyone likes what you like and move on. not for just everyone else's sake but your own.
4. its important to try and split your attention between more than one thing, and to have interests that are lower stimulus than your special interest.
It is going to take us decades to comprehend the damage pornography has done to our mental development and societal views surrounding women and sex.
Listen. I’ve been on this site for a long time. I was around back when the LGBT community majority here was was a complete shit show of basically ace and pan are the only valid orientations, otherwise you’re a regressive bigot.
Do you have any fucking idea how harmful it is to be a young teenager and see things like “hearts not parts”, “pan people see past gender!” and “pan people love people for their heart!”? Do you know how hurtful it is to be struggling with whether or not you like men and see plastered everywhere that only pan people love people for who they are? That lesbians and gay men are only interested in people for their genitals? And to see this paraded around as progressive and right?
It’s incredibly fucked up. It fucked me up so much. To think that if I didn’t allow men to be a part of my life I was an awful person. To think that it was transphobic to be a lesbian or a gay man, because those identities were only interested in gender.
You can’t just excuse people saying these things with “oh they didn’t mean to be ____phobic” because it doesn’t matter. They did something offensive and they need to own up to it and change their wording and think hard about how they view gay people to have even thought these things in the first place.
And I know what spurred this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but this issue is and this wording and phrasing needs to stop. I thankfully don’t see it around as much, but it still goes on, obviously. When I google pansexual some of the first results are “hearts not parts” graphics. And look, there’s some more biphobia and transphobia right next to it!
Every time you imply pan is the only orientation capable of truly loving their partner and see past their gender you’re hurting young questioning gay kids.
Please, I’m begging you all, especially my followers who are pan, do not let these phrases continue. Do not them continue to be the norm to describe pansexuality. Please stop it wherever you see it.
There is a specific and terrifying difference between “never were” monsters and “are not anymore” monsters
“The thing that was not a deer” implies a creature which mimics a deer but imperfectly and the details which are wrong are what makes it terrifying
“The thing that was not a deer anymore” on the other hand implies a thing that USED to be a deer before it was somehow mutated, possessed, parasitically controlled or reanimated improperly and what makes THAT terrifying is the details that are still right and recognizable poking out of all the wrong and horrible malformations.
Tbh as a bi woman I don’t need reminders that I’m “valid.” I know I’m bi, I’m not pretending, I know I’m “valid.” I don’t need reminders that I’m just as oppressed as the gays because that’s not true or helpful to anyone.
As a bi woman I need reminders that I’m not inherently more likely to cheat on a partner, that my capacity to love women isn’t lesser purely because I can find men attractive, that I’m not pretending to be a lesbian just because I like to dress a certain way or because I only want to date women, that I’m not deliberately misleading people about my orientation by being me, that I’m not destined to end up with a man purely because I could, that I’m not going to change my mind when I say that my ideal future is a reasonably sized house with a garden big enough for my wife and I to have a greenhouse and some chickens
That’s the kind of bi positivity I and other bi women need, not the empty uwu~ validation that seems to be everywhere

idk about y’all but I think it’s pretty terrifying having to personally hear bisexuals in offline spaces express being practically shamed out of openly identifying as bisexual because they’ve internalized the belief that bisexuality is not inclusive of trans/nb ppl and if that doesn’t hit home for you how dangerous misinformation and ahistorical takes are in the current state of LGBT activism then I honestly don’t have much else to say.
This is so cool and makes me feel so happy!
A list of older bisexual terminology in Bisexuality: A Reader and Sourcebook, providing insight into the terminology the older bisexual community and broader LGBT community used.
Note: I feel it’s necessary to point out that “bisexual lesbian”* in this sense referred to bi women who associated and connected with the lesbian community, were in relationships with women (potentially specifically with lesbian women), active politically wrt to second wave feminism, and is seemingly synonymous with the “gay/lesbian-identified bisexual” we can find in use in earlier releases of the Bi Women Quarterly. Please regard that the bisexual community faced (and still continue to face) biphobia, and exclusion at worst, and terminology such as the above was used to show a connection to such communities, or a political alignment towards LGBT liberation movements.
Secondly, note the inclusion of “gender minorities” within the definition of bisexual. This can also be found in the definition of bisexual in Bis and Androgyny Today by Gary North within Bisexuality: A Reader and Sourcebook.
open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end
Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year! Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3
I went through a mimic phase a while back :D
happy lesbian day
should i post the walmart comic
or should i simply wait
{\__/} ( • ᴗ•) / > ⚰️ get in loser we’re going to rest eternally
Let’s get this straight
Southern Gothic: Abandoned Churches, cryptic gospel signs, don’t go near the marshes, elusive and overly religious people that are probably Up To Something but everyone is too afraid to ask what
Midwestern Gothic: Something Lives In The Corn, broken down trucks, gravel roads that lead nowhere, empty gas stations placed between tiny towns with only one attendant who makes too much eye contact but never speaks
Southwestern Gothic: Animal skulls hung from posts, shacks miles into the barren desert that still look lived in but nobody is ever seen around, They Watch From The Mountains, shapeshifting creatures hiding in the brush
idk what introvert needs to hear this but please check yourself when ur saying stuf like “staying in your room all weekend by yourself watching netflix is much better than going out and being social” because speaking from experience it’s very easy to confuse being introverted and isolating yourself to cope with anxiety and depression please reach out to your friends and make an effort to live your life and say yes to things, there’s no harm in enjoying your own company but please try to avoid shutting yourself away because you’ve convinced yourself that you’re better alone it’s seriously a recipe for loneliness and will really fuck with your self worth
