You're all idiots except for me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

It's called reclaiming and taking the sting away. A lot of people use it to go, "Yeah, I know you think I shouldn't have this, so I'm going to turn it around on you."

oh, i'm sure lots of people do that too! i didn't mean to imply that everyone who does it is part of that culture. but i do know there's a lot of women who say it constantly as a means of legitimately putting themselves down and it bothers me. of course i don't care when someone's just saying it casually or as a joke or something.

Eeeeh, I haven't seen this. I've seen a lot of people mistaking it for this, but mostly what I see is just, "lol yeah I'm shipper trash, idegaf" because you're not supposed to care about ships or shit. It's stupid, but yeah.

even if it's reclaiming, ia with the point that i have never seen a man say anything remotely similar to "put me in the trash where i belong" for, like, drawing their otp or whatever

owning "bitch" or "slut" and making it something positive is reclamation. "trash" is a buzzword on tumblr and you're not likely to find it used to oppress women bc it's not gendered

Except it largely is. Women are trash for daring to enjoy their sexuality, to care about ships, to care about anything that ruins their image as pure maidens. We even see it on DWRP when we whine about PSL shit.

i have never seen "trash" used on mra sites or by mras to describe women, personally

nor have i really seen it on dwrp but that's just my experience

you're more likely to see someone whining about "yaoi fangirls" over here

ia. we're bitches, sluts, whores, etc. i've never been called trash and when i'm bored i make a hobby of trolling mra forums so if it was common i'm pretty sure i would've seen it by now

"reclaiming"??

self-deprecation
