I do wish that "oppositional sexism" was a more commonly known term. It was coined as part of transmisogyny theory, and is defined as the belief that men and women, are distinct, non-overlapping categories that do not share any traits. If gender was a venn diagram, people who believe in oppositional sexism think that "men" and "women" are separate circles that never touch.

The reason I think that it's a useful term is that it helps a lot with articulating exactly why a lot of transphobic people will call a cis man a girl for wearing nail polish, then turn around and call a trans woman a man. Both of those are enforcement of man and woman as non-overlapping social categories. It's also a huge part of homophobia, with many homophobes considering gay people to no longer really belong to their gender because they aren't performing it to their satisfaction.

It's a large part of the reason behind arguments that men and women can't understand each other or be friends, and/or that either men or women are monoliths. If men and women have nothing in common at all, it would be difficult for them to understand each other, and if all men are alike or all women are alike, then it makes sense to treat them all the same. Enforcing this rift is particularly miserable for women and men in close relationships with each other, but is often continued on the basis that "If I'm not a real man/woman, they won't love me anymore."

One common "progressive" form of oppositional sexism is an idea often put as the "divine feminine", that women are special in a way that men will never understand. It's meant to uplift women, but does so in ways that reinforce the idea that men and women are fundamentally different in ways that can never be reconciled or transcended. There's a reason this rhetoric is hugely popular among both tradwifes and radical feminists. It argues that there is something about women that men will never have or know, which is appealing when you are trying to define womanhood in a way that means no man is or ever has been a part of it.

You'll notice that nonbinary people are sharply excluded from the definition. This doesn't mean it doesn't apply to them, it means that oppositional sexism doesn't believe nonbinary people of any kind exist. It's especially rough on multigender people who are both men and women, because the whole idea of it is that men and women are two circles that don't overlap. The idea of them overlapping in one person is fundamentally rejected.

I think it's a very useful term for talking about a lot of the problems that a lot of queer people face when it comes to trying to carve out a place for ourselves in a society that views any deviation from rigid, binary categories as a failure to perform them correctly.

Closed eyes fetish in bara game

I’m concerned: when Fantastic Boyfriends English translation is released, can Sol become popular? It isn’t because he isn’t hairy, or he is just a human, it’s because his eyes are always closed.

Closed eyes characters can be seen even in latest anime, but it’s used as meaning their state, like  “It’s closing now but I’ll open it someday“ .

Apart from that, there is “symbolic closed eyes”. For example,maybe the most well-known closed eyes character, Brok(from Pokemon) has never opening eyes. It’s just a symbolic character design like “whose one eye hidden with hair(and who have no special power)“ or “who always wearing a hat“. It’s can be seen in manga from classical times for differentiating numerous characters illustrated by one artist.

I said “it’s just a symbolism”; but strangely, they have some vibes for Japanese people: calm, kind, mature and sturdy. Their vibes make them look nice for bara lovers, and easy to differentiate as game character, so they are in the bara game.

However, those are only in Japan, and Fantastic Boyfriends will release in English language regions.

I’m concerned.

(P.S. I can’t found any bara art tagged as “closed eyes” on Tumblr, so please press the like button if you have the same fetish or sympathizes with that.)

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

We have four days to get Mighty No. 9 on 3DS and PS Vita ⊟

All we need to do is raise $900,000 more to hit the Kickstarter project’s new $3.5 million stretch goal. We can do this, guys.

Found this awesome fan-made GIF here, by the way.

BUY Mega Man, MM25, upcoming games

I understand when people say to the ones who coddle adult male characters that they're "a grown ass man with dick and balls", but I don't think this applies that well to Serizawa Katsuya because ONE made this ex-terrorist a little too cute in my opinion.

I saw some snippet of a callout post for an autistic trans woman where they list social faux pas she committed, and I think we allistic people should all feel 100x more ashamed of not telling people in the moment how we feel about what they're doing. I think its extremely evil and cruel to not only lie to an autistic person and blame them for it but also to feel justified shaming them for your behavior. And it's currently the social norm to do that

being sensitive is embarrassing, ohhh your tone was different than usual well i'm gonna go jump in front of a trolley now bye
