i think a lot of tme women need to realize how the ways they joke about hating men can be harmful to marginalized men and camab people. disclaimer: i do not believe misandry is an oppressive construct, i am just saying that the disguise of hating men is used to perpetuate other forms of oppression against marginalized men and camab people.

for example, saying that its unfortunate that gay and bi men are attracted to men is still going to be homophobic no matter what spin is on it, gb men’s same gender attraction to men being a “disease” isnt a haha funny joke anymore when you consider that it is perpetuating homophobia. joking abt how men are all predators/creeps to girls is going to end up backfiring on men of color, gbt men, and transfems (because they are perceived as men by so many people in this instance) because of the ways they are already percieved as such given other facets of their identities,

and replying with “misandry isnt real” isnt changing the fact that you can be, and are still perpetuating racism, homophobia, and transmisogyny, which is the issue at hand, not men wanting to feel oppressed.

yes i’m part of the good taste gang. no i don’t watch “anime”…the only thing i “watch” is paint as it dries. purely unproblematic. the only things i “read” are the nutrition labels on soup cans. the only “artist” i listen to is my mommy.

Toastystats: AO3 in 2020

I started doing some analysis of how AO3 has changed in 2020. Then a chronic health issue flared up, and I can’t currently use a computer.  So I’ve posted my existing draft to AO3, and perhaps I’ll add more later when I’m feeling better.  The above are a few highlights.  Click through for explanations of these data visualizations, plus more data!

If you have questions or criticisms, please click through to AO3 or to my original Tumblr post to make sure they haven’t already been addressed; I will update this post as well as AO3 to reflect any major clarifications or edits.  (But I may be slow to edit/respond to comments, because as I said, health stuff is making things hard right now.)
