You cannot ban me in a way that matters.
I 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. First, let’s take a look at cringe culture. A Fanlore entry on cringe culture says…
Here are results of a survey I ran from August 24, 2023, till October 7, 2023. The survey was addressing the online paraphiliac community, it was shared in paraphilia tags on Tumblr, on map fediverse, in paraphilia discord servers, element chats, and forums. It consisted of two parts: a list of 75 paraphilias (split in…
I will preface this text by saying that I am a paraphiliac (including map + zoo), transid (including transage), pro consang, and multiple other things that are grouped under “radqueer” by those who do use this term. I also do not have a problem with those who describe their individual paraphilias as queer. The term…
In September 2022, when I was writing the first version of this text on zoo flags, I wrote that the DeviantArt page of ZooFlags, the original person who posted the blue-white-purple flag, had 15 entries. I listed the first three in the order they were uploaded: Currently, almost a year later, it has only 13,…
Several months ago I started working on principles for my own activist group I hope to have. 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…
I’m again coming back to old topics and trying to say the same thing in new words, in hopes that it brings more attention to this aspect of the community. This post will heavily overlap with my post on love nihilism, as well as an older post about some unfortunate tendencies in pro c spaces…
As many are already aware, I am a younger-to-older transage person. When people outside of the community think about transageness, they typically imagine someone who’s a chronological adult and identifies as a child – which would fall under older-to-younger spectrum of experiences. So I feel like my sector of transage is not visible enough and…
I 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…
So the other day I received an anon ask from someone who introduced as an ex Newgon member, and this ask caused a large drama. The anon took issue with Newgon defending sex acts with babies, and I responded that it’s a part of a bigger issue, and posted the ask and the response to…
This is a post for picture-related discussions while image viewing on nnia isn’t working. Para pride month (30.07.2023) I completed the calendar I started working on a month ago or so. Still a bit of time left to fix it. (01.08.2023) The images are back now, but I’m still posting the finalized version for reference.…
