"A sufficiently intelligent animal can indeed give consent IMO. Not that it matters to me since I have no interest in doing such. I tend to find the arguments against it are arguments that get used to deny e.g. those with disabilities the right to sex, and that part bothers me."

Someone asked me to rant about Homestuck and Planescape and then I gained a follower after doing so, I take back everything bad I ever said about this website
i avoid seeing all the awful political stuff, gamergate nonsense, torture porn blogs and north korean rights crusaders by only following blogs that post glitch art, 70s scifi book covers, brutalist architecture, or some combination of all three

More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
I haven't made a tumblr post in months. I feel apathy towards tumblr for some reason. Also, Gigi Digi (artist of the lovely Cucumber Quest) was recently driven off tumblr by anon hate. It's a recurring problem in tumblr culture.
You know, it just occurred to me that tumblr is, in many ways, a reflection of MySpace. MySpace had the "emo" subculture that was essentially a romanticization of depression, a serious mental condition. Tumblr treats many other equally serious mental conditions (like MPD with "headmates" and PTSD with the overuse of "triggers") in a similar fashion.
Which kind of irks me. Tumblr seems much more popular and the userbase much more diverse than MySpace ever was, and it's easy to get the wrong view of a certain mental illness if the site's your first/only exposure to it.
MPD is extremely rare (rarely even diagnosed, in fact, and still believed to be overdiagnosed due to confusion with other, more common disorders). It's extremely unlikely that most or many people claiming to have 'headmates' have MPD.
Mm... maybe. i'll grant there are distinct similarities, but i think most people who claim to have headmates get offended if you call it MPD, don't they?
Seems more like an extension of the whole otherkin fad to me.
I'd agree that it's an extension of otherkin, and I've seen it used as a justification for being a shithead when you were twelve ("That was an evil headmate!")
And I suspect most "headmates" are conscious creations of the person whose mind they inhabit.
Like, I'm an writer, and many writers do that. I do. We give our characters life inside our heads. Which is basically that we run a simulation of them. We let them talk. We imagine what they'd do in certain circumstances.
Headmates is pretending that your imagination isn't all just you. Which may be partly mental illness, but it's not DID.
what's with fat acceptance/fat positivity blogs being so vehement about not trying to loose weight?
like im totally down with loving yourself and being chubby and stuff but lots of these blogs are like "YOU WANT TO TRY BEING SKINNY? IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR 99.8888889% OF PEOPLE. DON'T EVEN BOTHER."

there's a lot of science that shows that a lot of diets are actually bad for your health and most of them even if you do lose weight you tend to get it back, like the jared guy in the subway commercials did

Heck, Let's talk about how not all fat/pounds is actually bad for you, losing weight is not proportionally the same as maintaining good health.

I'd just like to say that I can see a quote button.
You might want to talk to lee about that issue, @Byakuren.
I'm trying to filter out GamerGate stuff. If I see one more post about ethics in game journalism I will burn down an orphanage
i recommend this method highly

Just most people don't start treating them as distinct people and giving them nicknames.

I'm just weirded out by the absolute, "no way no how" that these blogs seem to project
