Reposted by TangentFoxOfficialMicah @rincewind.run · 02/09/2026this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either 221537583

Reposted by TangentFoxOfficialHard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I remember reading an article once looking at the age coding language around SA reporting and women in general (mostly in local papers). They found that men, 18 and up, were pretty consistently referred to as men...unless they were accused of SA and they it was "boy," "young man," or "teen." 123229
Reposted by TangentFoxOfficialHard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Women, on the other hand, were most often referred to as "girl" even into her late 30s...unless she was alleging SA. Then she was a "woman" or even "underage woman" (which is, of course, a nonsense term to avoid using "girl.") 324421
Reposted by TangentFoxOfficialHard2BGreene @hard2bgreene.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In one article highlighted, a 19yo man accused of raping his 19yo girlfriend was referred to as a "teen" but she, despite being a few months younger, was referred to as a "woman." They pointed out how the word choices deliberately painted him as less mature and suggested SHE took advantage of HIM. 121518

TangentFoxOfficial @tangentfoxofficial.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There is a seed of legitimacy in saying someone's ethnicity can interfere with their ability to understand something - like a privileged person not seeing their own privilege by default - but implying someone can't know what they're talking about AT ALL based on ethnicity is just stupid..and racist. 010

TangentFoxOfficial @tangentfoxofficial.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think I'm almost more disappointed by transphobes than anything else. You can't get rid of trans people.
