Continue Reading: A forum announcement and Newgon claims’ analysisWhen I first wrote my principles of activism, I did not have a clear picture of what to do with it, but eventually we made a forum, based on them. The first project we picked up is analyzing studies that Newgon cites on their research page in defense of youth age gap romantic/sexual involvement. Analysis…

Based culture: definitions and impact
Continue Reading: Based culture: definitions and impactI am trying to give name to a problem in online spaces I started thinking about a while ago. “Based culture” is supposed to be a parallel with “cringe culture”, and these two phenomena are neither synonymous nor mutually exclusive.

Hall – a misinterpreted study
Continue Reading: Hall – a misinterpreted studyThis is a restored post from my WordPress. Originally posted on November 30, 2021. I still agree with everything I said here.

Principles of activism

It would be the first time I actually participate in any organized political work, as opposed to doing something on my own or co-working with other m/yaps apolitically (nnia administration, etc.). Even though I want to do m/yap…

Against normality and naturalness
Continue Reading: Against normality and naturalnessI spoke a lot about my problems with the concept of norm and people who proudly identify themselves as normal, and I explained my main point briefly – existence of a norm implies existence of abnormality, and no matter how many experiences and identities you manage to push into the norm, there will always be…
