When I was a kid, I liked to be a girly tomboy. I think this was the best you could describe my gender. I wasn’t afraid of bugs. I liked picking up worms, and I wanted to be outside digging in dirt, etc. I also liked sports well enough, though my dad, subconsciously sexist, spent more time with my brother playing sports and ignored me completely. I wanted to wear lace because I liked it, not because it was girly. My gender wasn’t exactly a question. It’s more like… people called me a ...| Eclectic Creative
exist. But a lot of sex repulsed aces imagine sex positive aces to be more like sex neutral. “tolerate sex” is sex neutral or just below sex neutral. Open and receptive to the idea of sex. Just noting this.| Eclectic Creative
What follows usually is the list of tools that people use to put down people of color. Watch for it. - White writer has a semi-racist existential crisis. OMG, My are you MAKING ME WRITE POCs with all this talk of diversity!!!!?!! *big fat white tears* Drink twice if the conversation started this way. - Token character argument. Well, you’re going to make them into a Token character, or the other side, “Don’t make them into a Token character!” OMG, all PoC are token. I sit here with...| Eclectic Creative
I’m due to get my degree soon in Anthropology, though I mainly focused on systems. I also have officially a minor in Comp Lit. (Comparative Lit which does World Literature–Or compare everything to Europe which is the real title they don’t tell you). Systems, means things that are prejudiced and discriminatory in our societies, say, LGBTQIA, women, gender, socio-economic class, etc. I’ve wanted since High school to focus on media exchange (i.e. import and export of say books and movies...| Eclectic Creative
eclecticcreative: Most White writers with questions, claiming the white bubble usually do the following. 1. OMG, the skin. And then after that the features. There is a fix for that. It’s called reading PoC fiction by PoCs. When you ask them, “Have you ever read a book by a PoC author in your genre?” The answer is usually, “No.” Or “I never thought of that.” Really??? You are writing about PoC, but have no intention of reading books and referencing books by PoC. No wonder you are...| Eclectic Creative
Yeah– this might run a bit PG-13-ish. But yeah, a lot of books tend to treat sex like it’s fruit ninja. And I have to ask WHY? What if we rewrote men as not knives, swords, etc, but as say… I don’t know fruit or meat products? Would it sound the same? So let’s explore both. First off, I kinda think comparing people in general to food items is weird. What? Is this cannibalism? Every time you have sex you are eating off their arm or something? But I thought we could show the usual, an...| Eclectic Creative
The majority of slurs are food or animal comparisons–this is true cross culturally. So if you want to invent a slur, then you just choose an animal or a food and compare that person to those things. Animals is easy to figure out… cross culturally, most humans think they are superior to animals. Food, is interesting to dissect cross culturally. What I’ve noticed is that imperialistic countries are more likely to use it towards imperialized countries. So in some way they are literally ...| Eclectic Creative
So, you scared anon, side with people who do rape threats, doxing, stalking, and death threats like in Gamergate who flung the term at a woman asking people to change like it was the worst thing in the world. You know illegal activity such that Anita Sarkeesian had to involve the FBI. Good to know! Thumbs up on supporting rape culture and the patriarchy. I’m sure women are right behind you when you call them hysterical too, because their message is hard to hear. You know, blame their uterus...| Eclectic Creative
When is adoption OK?When the surrender is 100% voluntary and not under coercion from a well off woman/family who understands 100% of the implications of surrender and possible trauma to follow and implications for the child involved. This may be the case in a slim number of adoptions where a woman may have a child she feels too old to raise by herself and decides to give birth to the child with full knowledge of all consenting adults in the family of what she is doing and then gives the child...| Eclectic Creative
I know what you are thinking right now–how could you be anti-woman if you are any kind of feminist? So let me break this down nice and easy. If you are anti-trans, you are saying that the patriarchy can define gender roles and gender constraints. If you are anti-LGB/P, you are saying that you support the constraints the patriarchy puts on sexuality and expression of sexuality. If you are anti-PoC, you are saying appearances matter more than ability and character. If you are anti-religious d...| Eclectic Creative
Me and a friend are going to do a film on deported adoptees, in this case to Korea. Because it is important. Because it’s unfair. Because awareness of the issue is so low outside of adoption communities. I’m setting it up this way: The adoptees that come to visit Korea, the adoptees that choose to stay there, and the adoptees who are deported and have to start from scratch, often separated from their families. We need a documentary like this. I want a documentary like this. How are we goi...| Eclectic Creative
My exact problem with them, besides their inherent academic masturbation in a circle jerk reaction, is their idea that all aces must be alike and fit the majority when Aces often contradict them, but then the aces that contradict them aren’t considered “reliable sources” only they are, quoting themselves. The idea of a biological imperative for all of sexuality, in of itself is problematic. If there is a biological element, it’s not locked into ideas of things like religion or height...| Eclectic Creative
Doing an anthro paper on asexuality. So depressing. I want to know from aces, why oh why do you even BOTHER talking to Lori Fucking-us-up Brotto. Why do you even let Anthony Bogaert into your spaces when they will not and do not honor asexuality in its full definition and seem to have this deliberate stubbornness not to get it right. I mean, seriously, fuck them. They spent sometimes over 7 fucking long years getting it wrong, then retconning, and then topping it off with still getting it sup...| Eclectic Creative
Such a white word. And often used for white women’s violence. “Why can’t you be nice?” Also used often in off-handed manner. “Isn’t that nice?”| Eclectic Creative
My Anthro Prof put it this way: Culture serves to define the grays of chaos to make them more manageable, but in doing so, it always leaves people behind. Also my profs repeat over and over, when you hear the words, “Standard” and “Natural” to examine it. Because often there are whole groups of people left behind. If that’s so it’s not standard at all. I take this to mean, when you can embrace the chaos inherent in the universe, there is also a beauty in the diversity. When you ca...| Eclectic Creative
trueriptide: genealogy test came back and I’m 67% korean and portion Japanese (I believe it’s 20% at the most). that’s still neat to find out and something I’m curious to explore. 23andMe, BTW, updated recently, and my percentage of Japanese fell significantly. It’s worth it to cross correlate to other websites too, if you have the funds/time. Still waiting for them to describe Ainu and Okinawans in the results.| Eclectic Creative

only sorry at how I may express that anger. If by violence, death, murder, emotional abuse and not asking for change, then yes, I’ll be sorry. If I use words and use peaceful action, and ask for change in pointed doable ways, I’ll never be sorry. Status Quo is complacency I can’t accept. I’m sorry you’re angry is not acceptable. I don’t like such whiteness.| Eclectic Creative
