They're going to insist on multi-paragraph troll movie titles for terms if this keeps up. "In Which a Woman Exerts Her Right to Choose Her Sexual Partners; She Goes On to Have Several of Same; People Who Disapprove of Her Activity Cast Shame Upon Her in an Abusive Manner"
It just astounds me. Yeah, language and semantics are important, no doubt. But there are reasons for using terms such as "slut shaming" and even if it WERE an offensive term
that's not the issue at hand; other things need to be addressed
I can guarantee the maker of that post has complained about being "tone policed" or something like that at some point (It's not exactly a perfect analogy but these kinds of things are cut from the same cloth)

They at least had the sense to limit it to some customizable colors and header images and not the mess of badly written HTML that is most actual blog themes
So are themed pronouns (eg. "bun, bunself", "leaf, leafself") as silly as they look at first glance? Am I missing something here? They don't seem harmful, and they don't, like, make me mad, but they just sort of reek of the meaningless labels teenagers love to apply to themselves.
I think asking others to use them is kinda silly and teenagery. Pronouns aren't supposed to be personalized like that; they're supposed to be a shortcut instead of saying someone's name again.
I honestly think it's a flaw that English even has gendered pronouns, TBH. Ideally they should just be got rid of. However, that's not possible, really, so as a band-aid I'm completely happy with adding a pronoun set or two for people who find none of the existing gendered versions right. Singular 'they' has been largely adopted as a gender-free placeholder; some people aren't comfortable using it for someone of a known-but-non-binary gender, so possibly another is needed (and there are about 500 spelling choices for what that other should be).
Beyond that, fuckno. Don't be a jackass.
I'd say 'use them for yourself, if you want, but don't make others have to deal with them', except that unless you refer to yourself in the third person all the time (and thus you're a pretentious little shit), the entire point of pronouns is for someone else to use.
Of course, some people are probably using them just to annoy people who find the idea stupid, because trolling.
I've decided to be mildly bemused at worst and actively amused at best with otherkin just because if I start doing the VIRULENT OTHERKIN HATE thing it won't go over well.
I don't hate otherkin. The feeling that one has a spiritual self that is non-human is an ancient one. Or that of having a connection to that nature of some kind.
None of this justifies being a tosser about it, though.
POLICE REPORT: LOCAL TEENAGER IN EAST TENNESSEE FOUND DEAD
A youth of ******* county was recently found dead in his house. Wounds on his chest suggest he was killed by a large dog or wolf, but stab wounds were found on his shoulders and tailbone.
I ended up deleting my tumblr the other day. I mention that mainly because I was following some Heapers and wanted to let them know that though it probably looked like I was unfollowing them, I do not dislike them or anything like that.

Heh, thanks. Not my work, though, Somasis designed it for her own blog; I just made mine pink is all. :P

my favorite lyric from talk dirty is “but your booty don’t need explaining” because i really like to imagine a booty that NEEDS explaining. imagine jason derulo bewildered by a booty, going “someone really needs to account for this”
"Oozing and surging up out of that yawning trap-door in the callipygian crypt I had glimpsed such an unbelievable behemothic booty that I could not doubt the power of its original to kill with its mere sight. Even now I cannot begin to suggest it with any words at my command. I might call it gigantic — tentacled — proboscidian — octopus-eyed — semi-amorphous — bootylicious— partly squamous and partly rugose — ugh! But nothing I could say could even adumbrate the loathsome, unholy, non-human, extra-galactic horror and hatefulness and unutterable evil of that forbidden twerk of black chaos and illimitable night. As I write these words the associated mental image causes me to lean back faint and nauseated. As I told of the sight to the men around me in the office, I had to fight to preserve the consciousness I had regained.” — Jason Derulo, “Out of the Eons”
