Implying they were smart in the first place?
I find the level at which people brag about their own intelligence is usually invertly proportional to their actual capacities.
Well, if anyone needed more proof that these men just see women as stupid sex objects, here it is waves arm vaguely because I'm so tired of this blatant misogyny parading as "progressive" when it is clearly regressive
All I want is an unbiased research paper / study into what makes men ruin their lives entirely for a fetish.
It can't be testosterone or all of these TIFs would be acting similar.
Maybe it's an addiction just like with porn? The risk vs reward factor has changed drastically considering their fetish is now publicly accepted as stunning and brave. This shit would never fly before 2015. They no longer have to deal with the shame of it all, so they go for it. I'd also like a comprehensive study, it's worth looking into.
I think with AGPs specifically there's definitely a societal acceptance aspect that's motivating it.
I'd agree that men are more prone to addiction. But it's hard to tell how much of it is biological mental weakness or just men not being held accountable.
*Mental weakness with the way they listen to these AGP "audios" I mean, not chemical addictions.
Sex addiction is a thing. Junkies ruin their lives over a fix. Alcoholics also fuck a lot of stuff up.
That's true, but there are a lot of seemingly normal men who fall into this stuff. Or maybe they just keep the guise of being normal, I don't know.
Well other types of addicts are normal at first too. Someone also mentioned porn. Most regular guys watch porn, I assume habit can form in the same way.
Pretty sure TIFs are buying into this BS as well. If you believe being a woman means being an air headed bimbo who lives to please and be objectified by men, it would be very reasonable to want to flee womanhood.
But they're moving from it, rather than toward it like men do. That's what puzzles me.
my experience with many TIFs is that they're usually incredibly misogynistic.
I think it goes in the same vein as any other addiction like gambling.
This sounds like it would be interesting to dive into! I'll put that in my post ideas and if I'm able to do it I'll PM you when it's made :)
It's probably more of an Occam's razor than I'm making it out to be, yeah. But the idea of willingly brainwashing yourself, believing the brainwashing even though you're the one doing it / no one's making you, and then castrating yourself is the weirdest combination of sad and hilarious I can think of.
But yes, that would be interesting if you get around to it, thank you!
TIFs don't have the physiology to support everything men's bodies do. So you never know.
NGL I saw the below scenario play out in fandom on Tumblr a few times like Groundhog Day. 😒
TIM who crosstags: 'I love being such a hot dumb big tiddy bitch ho and fantasise about lactating and being forcibly impregnated every day! I want character X to get violent and call me a dirty dumb slut as he takes me!'
Vocal popular TRA ally: says nothing about the creepiness, gross fetishism and misogyny
Some relatively unknown person in fandom: 'I enjoy character X because...:
Vocal popular TRA ally: bristles with rage, punches out a 10 page callout post and obsessively dredges it up again and again over months: 'oh my gaaah this person is such a fucking sack of shit! How dare s/he not love my fave character Y and reject me by extension!? I bet they're -ic and-ist!'
What is it with these creepy weirdos and their spineless appeasers?
And when you show this to someone: "They're not really trans if they're a PR embarrassment. It says so in the DSM."
They're just so fucking repulsive and offensive. I hope the handmaidens who go around parroting "how harda twanswimin have it" are seeing this.
They had to be stupid to start the process and maybe high doses of estrogen and progesterone aren’t good for the male brain.
God I HATE it. You just know these people have never had to deal with misogyny in the real world (probably because no one sees them as women). This whole post reeks of male privilege, never having to fight to have your intelligence respected.
Well, on the bright side hopefully that means natural selection will kick in.
Not included in this photo is all the people who said things like “this is me” and “same”.
:) don’t you love a bunch of men bonding over believing in “bimbofication”
This is a cultural effect of validating agp identities and why being critical of misogyny is essential. We’re in a situation in not being judgmental towards the characters of other is resulting in a greater tolerance for truly heinous beliefs about womanhood.
Ugh, I can’t wait for the pendulum to swing back to where it’s socially acceptable to shame these freaks into oblivion. Who the fuck let them out of the basement in the first place?? 🤮
This always reminds me of Karl Popper's paradox of intolerance: for a society to be tolerant, they need to be intolerant of intolerance. For us to be free, we cannot give free reign to these clowns.
