The problem with “all men X”

When people say “All men X” they are saying that it’s in their nature to do something and therefore perpetuate the idea that men are not responsible for their actions. This is what allows abusers to get out of the justice system on the argument that “it’s just what men do”


Stop treating men like animals and start treating them like human beings with conscious thought so that you can hold the ones that DO hurt people responsible for their actions.


TL;DR

“All men X” helps abusers escape justice

By the “not all men” logic, Russian Roulette is a perfectly safe game to play. Sure, one of the chambers has a bullet in it…

but not all chambers

Best one I’ve seen. Best one.

But a lot of pistols have 8 chambers, making the odds of dying 1 in 8, and the odds of being raped in the US is 1 in 6. 

So really, playing Russian Roulette is like

Safer.

what a wonderful mindset to have. <3

let’s just sacrifice the possibility of any good things happening because maybe, just maybe you’ll be a part of that bad statistic. 

it’s funny how about 80% of my close friends are male and none of them have attempted to sexually harass me. ever. because they’re reasonable human beings capable of choice and logic and learning. What genitals you were born with doesn’t make who you are anyways. wow it’s almost like you can interact with numerous males and it be possible for not even one of them to be a sexual predator :o

…also anyone who says russian roulette is a perfectly safe game, or that interaction with any human being or animal or object is perfectly safe. is wrong. nothing is perfectly safe. ever. you breathing right now isn’t even safe. 

And when I say this, I don’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious, just don’t be paranoid, dude. :v

The difference between men and bulllets is that men have conscious thought. They are aware of their actions. They know what they are doing. And many of them are aware that harming others IS wrong. So not all men is perfectly valid.

Also, if you stop treating men like humans and start treating them as hurting machines or animals acting on instinct, you are taking away any accountability they have on their actions. You ARE saying that what they do isn’t their fault because that’s just how they are. Hold men responsible for their actions like they are human beings so that they can actually get tried and put in prison for harming people

So I’ve Been Seeing Some Posts…

And they make me livid.

Posts about how writers who work with artists don’t deserve as much praise or pay.

I’ve seen posts about how writers are “just writing” and shouldn’t get commissions.

I’ve even gotten hate for briefly pondering getting commissions for small drabbles.

Let’s face one simple fact.

Tumblr-
You only give a fuck about writers when we do shit for free.

Writers do as much work as any other artist. Just. As. Much.

We struggle just as much with getting exposure. We struggle just as hard at word choice as an artist does at shading. We fight just as much with plotlines as artists do with sketch lines.

Writers are not something to be put behind a less-than sign.

People seem really good at demanding fanfiction, they seem really good at demanding their favorite pairings their way. And they seem just as good as getting mad when writers actually want some praise or recognition for it.

Think for a minute if all fanfiction writers, if all authors period, just stopped writing. Imagine you woke up tomorrow and every fanfiction website was empty, every single story and drabble GONE.

You people would throw a fit and a half.

So the next time you get some stupid thought in your head that writing is not an art, and that writers are not artists?

Then ponder this:

If its so fucking easy, go do it yourself and stop crying for us to do it instead.

Some people claiming something is easy and that they shouldn’t have to pay for it? Where have I heard that before.

But seroiusly though, if you are an artist, you should respect writers because writing is just as much of an artform as drawing or music.

Proof that Kilian/Skrat was framed for the chlorine leak at midwest furfest.user Corey Stott made this fake screenshot and was trying to get this spread around.
 Skrat may be a dickbag but he is not enough of a dick to do anything like a chlorine spill.

Honest Posters of Our Relationship with Technology

Designer Ajit Johnson, living in England, has imagined a series of posters called “#This_Generation”. With honesty, the posters show anecdotes linked to our daily relationship with technology and social networks.

“Can’t work a computer to it’s full potential or send an email, proceeds to ask someone a 1/3 to ½ their age for help.” #LastGeneration

“Can’t accept the fact that meaningful relationships can be made online, struggles to respect and accept said relationships.” #LastGeneration

“Has drained and abused the Earth for it’s resources, and believes that a young person would choose internet over survival. Expects us to survive and solve the problems they have created.“ #LastGeneration

“Does not understand that phones are meant for communication, also does not understand that the average semester lasts 4 months.” #LastGeneration

“Refuses to give proper sex education, shames the younger generation for not knowing.” #Last Generation

“Does not understand how social media works and that not deleting/avoiding your recent ex online is just as bad as seeing them every day.” #LastGeneration

“Also texts and drives, pretends that they are not responsible for any accidents caused by their idiot mistakes.” #LastGeneration

“Shames teenagers for taking photos of themselves that make them feel positive about their physical image, probably can’t work the camera themselves.]” #LastGeneation

“Believes that a person’s way of texting with people they are comfortable with is a sign of their intelligence level, texts just as bad, if not worse.” #LastGeneration

“Believes our generation are internet druggies, does not even acknowledge our reasons for being online, or what we do online.” #LastGeneration


“Has caused wars, economic failures, environmental disasters, perpetuated hate based on gender/race/sexuality/religion [or lack of]/and more, pretends that the younger generation is the problem.”  #LastGeneration

Whoop there it is

The thing I hate the most about the last generations criticism of technology is that they refuse to acknowledge we have more options. That’s why we are online. We don’t have to go to a library to read a book anymore. Hell, the size of a book can intimidate some people but when you don’t know how long a book is, you aren’t scared for lack of a better word.

We can communicate with people across the seas and make friends, get to know how they are doing.

The internet has given us more options for

And with selfie culture, you can take a picture of a good moment with your friends and post it, saying exactly what the context was. When you’re 60, you can look back at the gallery and read the descriptions and have a more accurate memory of what happened than with just looking at old faded photos.

Also, internet allows for the spread of more accurate news on things like social issues. Because people can look up multiple sources whenever they want and draw their own conclusion. Without social media, Michael Brown would have died a thug and Leelah Alcorn would have died a boy.

entertainment and social interaction as well as issues so don’t let the last generation take that away from us.
