April @dissembly.bsky.social · 1hInstead they focus on other properties by shittier writers who are less open about how derivative their worldbuilding is and less jokey about their fictional slavery and definitely less interested in making spaces comfortable for diverse people. 030
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 6hThank you. It hurts how many people don't understand this point. It's cultural power and cache is being constantly used against us, on top of the money. Even just down to the loser comments by right-wingers on every facebook post about Rowling that they're going to buy the books again or whatever 070
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 6hyou definitely never need to apologise to the insects that wrote the Troi subplot in that movie 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 6hironically if "big macho alpha males who want to protect women and children" were a real thing then you'd be hearing about little weakling right-wingers getting bashed to smithereens daily 010
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 6hIronically id be in dire need of restorative justice advocates if id caught Jacob Gellar doing that. 120
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 8h"upended his legacy" Bro. They're all paedophiles. A legacy as a republican legislator is a legacy as a supporter of paedophiles. They all attack sex ed, promote abusive churches, attack lgbtiq education, believe in "parents rights", every single one of these things is Paedophile Policy. legacy smh 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 11hthis is a good angela collier video about it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gefw...m.youtube.cominternet people lie about fluorideYouTube video by Angela Collier 150
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 11hdo you find that humiliating, for someone to be capable of giving and receiving love 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 11hI dont want a Joe Rogan of the left, I think Joe Rogan is an idiot. 050
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 11hThe goal of journalism is to make a demented paedophile sound coherent apparently 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 05/10/2026"aloof"? You people are such unbearable losers lol. It would be sad if anyone who writes for this toiletrag uses their real name. Like how humiliating. 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 05/10/2026better check if a brand made a joke before you make a joke again 240
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i dont understand who wants to watch a podcast its weird. i hate that my phone is streaming all this data when im not even watching the screen. 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i think it's a few more decks than that? The Equinox fits in it's footprint 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026men. these ones specifically were Michael Bay and Ehren Kruger 010
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026one time a babybel dissappeared from my coffee table and then my cat pooped out perfect little red wax poops 010
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Because they hate us. It's because they hate us. They're more literate than Trump but the thing you have to understand is that people who tacitly accept bigotry or report neutrally on it are already the pathetic background of cowards in the Emporers New Clothes before they get to linguistic analysis 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026the last few days have made me feel a need to scrub out all the parasocial joy in my free time and i cant figure out if its healthy or if its analogous to the time i tried to scrub out all the regular social joy in my life because an ex-friend raped someone and like 20 other ex-friends defended him 130
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i think its kind of weird to not have an issue with the pop culture machine that now only exists to destroy women's lives but to have an issue with the slur 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026god i would not want to be trapped in a room overnight with any man. my honest reaction is "both potential rapists" even before this came out. i hate this hypothetical lol 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No, its not because i think that, fuckwit. It's because I have had to fight myths about respected feminists who committed rape in real life and not just in the context of trying to do edgy internet takes deep in the comments section. 100
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026this feels like just as dangerous a myth as "i could always tell he had bad vibes". 101
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026...blaming trans people for misogyny and they're actually well meaning and we should appeal on those grounds, but it doesnt work when they're actual committed bigots. 030
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026its only true in the context of talking about masses being tacitly supportive of the right wing and it being a danger that can be countered, but people misapply it to actual ideological fascists. I think they make the same missapplication with TERFs, thinking they've just been tricked into... 141
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026And you've been instrumental in spreading bigotry and hatred in the UK to strip away the rights of vulnerable people 051
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's a discourse for people who dont have any IRL community and don't go to lesbian bars. 000
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026...motivation was ignorant disgust. Now she runs the "sex based spaces line", and im like, I know what you said before that was the party line babe. I know. 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026i just had a vivid memory from before i was out and before TERFs developed a widespread strategy of framing it as "rights to sex based spaces" etc of a woman at work telling me she didnt want to go gome with a cute girl and then find out she had different parts. she called her a girl, and the... 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026She's a hero and the ICE agents are Nazis who deserve public hanging. 010
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yeah its like an abstract theoretical formulation, an analogy to "we need to convince people immigrants arent responsible for inflation" 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026even before i knew i was trans i remember feeling uneasy about the attempts to relate or bridge the gap with TERFs and be like "well they're just upset because of misogyny" and i remember thinking like, "i dont think this is a misunderstanding. i think Nazi rules might actually apply here." 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026or copy-pasted something via notepad to remove annoying formatting like any writer does several times a peice 0140
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yeah its kind of notorious for anyone who has used a word processor more than twice 0240
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Do you mean they wrote a lot of words? Im not seeing any substance here. I wrote and edited a politucal magazine for ten years and nothing they described is outside the normal evolution of a writer. This feels like some kind of hit peice and im just left wondering wtf is this actually about 0130
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Im a paleontology PhD with 5 published papers and this is slop. 091
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026They dont make their money off consumers who like computers, they make it off rich idiots who order licences for the whole company. 011
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think Microsoft and Apple have always been "Youll want what we tell you you want." As someone who's always worked in jobs where I had to deal with the latest garbage features Microsoft forces on everyone on a daily basis struggling just to log in and out of Windows each day. Its their whole thing. 110
April @dissembly.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The petty callousness of employers and HR people, and the amount of arbitrary power they have over our lives, and the rights they claim that they simply shouldn't have at all, actually do matter. 000
