Mochi Unfiltered
I haven't posted anything in quite a while. I just haven't had much interesting to say. So now I will write an entry with some substance that might be very interesting or might be offensive.
I am a very honest person. Some people have said that I don't have a "filter" like most do, the thing that keeps them from spewing out the honest contents of their thoughts to others. I am really not that offensive, but it is true I don't tend to sugar coat things and I speak my mind very freely. To me, the most egregious self-imposed filter has to be "political correctness." I really had PC bullshit. Because PC basically means, how you are supposed to pretend you think and feel so as not to offend anyone but don't actually think and feel.
So, without further ado, here are some of my totally politically incorrect thoughts and feelings about various things:
I enjoy a well-written fandom meta, but far too many of them are just pretentious shit written by the way-too-easily-offended. Seeing any of the following words used seriously in a meta immediately make me think the writer is a pretentious douche: Heteronormative. Genderqueer. Transphobic. Queering (or queer otherwise used as a verb). -fail used as a suffix for anything.
Also, if you use heteronormative as a criticism of the Harry Potter books, I assume you are some butthurt Sirius/Remus shipper who somehow actually thought it was being written in the books. And if you actually thought it was being written in the books, I think you are an idiot who was part of a mass delusion based on an obsession with slash and not on anything actually written in the books. And in the slim chance you thought or hoped that Harry would turn out to be gay and were offended he wasn't, you are just an idiot. Be offended about something that is actually offensive.
As far as transphobia goes, while I believe that a transgender person is the gender they feel in their soul and not what is outwardly manifested on their body, if I found out a guy I was dating had been born a woman, I would end the relationship. It is not the same as a guy who was born a guy to me. A real cock is not the same as one jerry-rigged out of a flap of leg fat. And if that makes me transphobic, so be it. I think of it more as my sexual orientation being specifically to guys who were born as guys.
I see so many people in fandom claiming to be either asexual or FtoM transexual and I believe almost none of it. Also, I think those who claim to be asexual are just trying to act like they are special and so above us hormone-addled genital slaves. Similarly (but not as offensively), fans who only are interested in gen and act like all shipping is below them are pretentious ass-hats. If you don't care about shipping, fine, but don't act like you are somehow more enlightened than those of us who do care about it. Not-shipping is no more mature and high-brow than shipping. It is just a matter of taste.
I never gave a flying fuck about Racebending. This may be because I have never watched the Avatar series and have no interest in ever watching the series (despite how much my friends rec it). I just don't have any interest. But even knowing the whole story and being able to say, "yeah, the casting was wrong and racist," I don't actually have any emotional reaction to it. I know I am supposed to be offended, but I am not.
I was probably supposed to be offended way back when some people got their LJs deleted for posting smut, but when I saw that piece of Snarry fanart that got deleted I felt that the artist was a sick fuck and felt no sympathy. Actually, I think anyone who ships Snape/Harry is a sick fuck and I feel no sympathy if their garbage fanart is deleted or gets them banned from any site. Good riddance.
Think I will cut it off there for tonight because I am tired of writing, but I may come up with more. I hope nobody is offended by what I've written, but if you are... I dunno what to say? It is how I would feel whether I shared it or not.
In less sardonic news, today was my boyfriend's birthday. I made him a cake. We have been dating for almost six weeks and are still getting along well. And he totally accepts my lack of political correctness, which is awesome.
