I am a dude with a boyfriend.

We’re both Asian.

We went on a bus and sat in front of two girls.

I kissed behind his ear (and then he punched me in the arm, he’s shy in public) and I heard one of them whisper to the other something along the lines of “We get to see close up yaoi on here!”.

(Neither of us are even Japanese)

I was kinda offended, so I took my boyfriend by the hand and left.

It made us feel very uncomfortable.

I just want to say:

Our love and relationship isn’t for your entertainment.

Nor is it here for you to fetishize and sexualize.

Please just keep your “yaoi xDD” to just fiction, and please do not call us “yaoi”.

Many dismiss this as not a problem, which I find rude as they have never experienced this so they don’t really have much to say against this.

Thank you for reading.

* ^^^ Sorry to hear that anon D: that’s pretty terrible.

Really? I guess being accepted is just as bad as being hated. I bet of the girls had hissed in disgust he’d be sobbing and ranting about acceptance.

Having straight people only see you as fap material isn’t acceptance you fucking homophobic walnut

This isn’t acceptance, it’s fetishization. Which is common with white people toward Asian people/culture in general. People don’t exist for your enjoyment. This is very different from “aw look at that cute couple, I’m happy that they feel safe to be open about being LGBT!” This is “omg more entertainment material for our consumption and benefit”. I don’t know how to explain to you that real people deserve to be treated as full humans with full lives and boundaries and feelings, and not as “exotic” fodder for you to ogle and use for cheap personal entertainment.

college is starting and rape culture is still extremely prominent and men can be fuckin gross so I’m here to let y’all know Amazon is selling pepper spray for only $8.

over 50% of college sexual assaults happen within the first month of college.

to my fellow freshman girlies out there, go parties in groups, don’t walk alone late at night, and if you sense some shady shit going on don’t hesitate to interfere. trust your gut. people are getting sicker by the minute and nothing seems to be changing anytime soon.

PS: CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS REGARDING WEAPON PURCHASING

I’m not lying fuck men omfg

If you don’t wanna support Amazon, lots of stores like hardware chain stores and similar also will have pepper spray. I even got a spring assisted knife (within the legal length and width limits) in the utility knife, camping, and hunting section.

little bit of Jewish history: for several centuries, Jews didn’t have fixed, hereditary surnames. they went by “Name son of Father” or similar. Ashkenazi Jews mostly didn’t start taking on surnames until the 18th and 19th century, when surnames were made a condition of being recognized as citizens of modern nations. and apparently there was one Jew in Germany who thought hey, if we’ve got to take it a surname, let’s make it a damn good one.

so this is the name he picked:

Wolfe­schlegel­stein­hausen­berger­dorff­welche­vor­altern­waren­gewissen­haft­schafers­wessen­schafe­waren­wohl­gepflege­und­sorg­faltig­keit­be­schutzen­vor­an­greifen­durch­ihr­raub­gierig­feinde­welche­vor­altern­zwolf­hundert­tausend­jah­res­voran­die­er­scheinen­von­der­erste­erde­mensch­der­raum­schiff­genacht­mit­tung­stein­und­sieben­iridium­elek­trisch­motors­ge­brauch­licht­als­sein­ur­sprung­von­kraft­ge­start­sein­lange­fahrt­hin­zwischen­stern­artig­raum­auf­der­suchen­nach­bar­schaft­der­stern­welche­ge­habt­be­wohn­bar­planeten­kreise­drehen­sich­und­wo­hin­der­neue­rasse­von­ver­stand­ig­mensch­lich­keit­konnte­fort­pflanzen­und­sicher­freuen­an­lebens­lang­lich­freude­und­ru­he­mit­nicht­ein­furcht­vor­an­greifen­vor­anderer­intelligent­ge­schopfs­von­hin­zwischen­stern­art­ig­raum

and the fun doesn’t stop there. roughly translated, this name means “Ages ago, there were conscientious shepherds whose sheep were well tended and carefully protected against attack by their rapacious enemies. Twelve hundred thousand years ago there appeared before these first earthmen, at night, a spaceship powered by seven stone and iridium electric motors. It had originally been launched on its long trip into stellar space in the search for neighboring stars that might have planets revolving about them that were inhabitable and on which planets a new race of intelligent humanity might propagate itself and rejoice for life, without fear of attack by other intelligent beings from interstellar space.”

and then this gentleman’s great-great-grandson was given a 26-word “first name” featuring names beginning with each successive letter of the alphabet: Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Zeus.

but of course that’s impractical for everyday use, so he often went by the name Hubert B. Wolfe + 666, Sr. he was born in Germany in 1904 or 1914, emigrated to Philadelphia, and died in 1997.

there is no part of this that is not incredible to me.

He just made his whole last name a science fiction story

I’m sick to my fucking stomach

The map flag had the same color scheme as the pan flag and now they’re switching to the bi flag

If you see anyone with this flag or any variation

Run

Don’t fucking hesitate to block because pedos are now using this new “flag” and other forms of it

Can I get a signal boost from larger accounts? Start tagging people so this will spread

quick reminder that i do not support MAPs/pedos and as a minor i am terrified of the amount of them that are on this website.

so please spread this so any minors who follow you can see it!!

I forgot what MAP was for a moment and thought they were talking about cartographers

My favorite jeans now have holes on the inner thighs from friction. And I wanna try to become more independent from capitalism. So I decided I gotta learn actual practical basic sewing skills (as opposed to the fake-it-till-you-make-it sewing I know how to do, which lies exclusively in making plushies). Here’s hoping I don’t ruin my jeans

In every class about art history or literature or film, you’re constantly analyzing works through the lens of not only the artist’s life, but of the their period and place in history. Your teachers will always go “to understand this character you have to know the author’s brother died when he was young” or “this painting was a reflection of the artist’s experiences in World War 2.” It’s only when they turn out to be a rapist do people go “weeellllll I mean you should be able to separate the art from the artist.”

This is important. We shouldnt separate art from the artist. But i think that also means that refusing to see talent and beauty in the art of terrible people is a bad idea (you don’t have to support art to recognize it as having skill and talent). We as humans like to separate things into black and white, good and bad, monster and person. People are surprised when they see pictures of genocidal leaders spending time with their kids, cuz we see them as monsters and not people with 3dimensional lives. That’s not to say that they’re not terrible and monstrous. But when we separate things like that, it makes it harder to spot terrible people in the present and makes it easier to brush things under the rug or excuse bad behavior, cuz “they aren’t all bad”.

Monsters can be remarkably talented humans. Remarkably talented humans can do terrible things. Terrible people can make genuinely amazing art. Being a terrible person doesn’t mean your art is inherently garbage, and being talented doesn’t excuse your awful actions. A person can make revolutionary and influential art while being a shit. It’s not either or, it’s often and. You can make the moral decision to not support an artist who is also a gross human being, but I think it’s important that we not destroy or censor that art. We need to remember that the talented should not be put on a pedestal for their art, and that beautiful art can come from the worst of humanity – lest we forget our past mistakes.

Tbh what I’d love to see in every art gallery and museum and public piece, would be an honest account of the artist’s actions – the great and the horrible. To see the juxtaposition (or reinforcement) of their art and their actions. I think maybe then we could see that any human can be amazing while also being shit, and the elitism in the art world could finally take a blow big enough to kill it. Who cares how many famous avant garde pieces you’ve made, you’re a fucking prick who has left far more scars than beauty in the world.

I just realised where Kylo got his name from:

Ky = sKYwalker

Lo = soLO

Ren = literally just his birth name with an R

which means that when he was choosing his super scary Dark Lord name, he just mashed up the surnames of the most positive figures in his life. poor sod can’t even evil right

literally a ‘what is your star wars name’ meme

2nd two letters of your mother’s last name
Last two letters of your father’s last name

1st three letters of your name but with an R
