TW: RAPE

zoearcher:

The Doonsbury cartoons several papers have refused to run.

“I thee rape.”

FUCK YOU DOONSEBURY.  FUCK MEN WRITING COMICS ABOUT ABORTION OR ORAL CONTRACEPTION OR USING THE WORD SLUT. I can’t… like I can’t even. 

I also keep coming back and editing this as words come to me.

Like.  You don’t support XX folk, or like.  humans. if you make rape jokes.  Even liberal, feminist-sounding rape jokes.  Even when they’re sandwiched in good stuff. Even when it’s Really good stuff.

Sandwiched in good stuff is not enough.  It’s not something that I’m taking anymore.  I want all good stuff.  I want everything to be Not Shitty.  That’s not too much to ask.  Implying that it’s too much for me to ask for, that I should just be happy that the rest of this comic is on my side, is fucking INSULTING.

Your failure and unwillingness to provide all good stuff is why I will always hate you and will never completely trust you.

no.  Your inevitable attitude when you get called out on it not being all good stuff, since it’s mostly good stuff, is why I will always hate you and never trust you.

In case you were somehow unaware…

Anorexia is a serious and life threatening disease that, while very often having physical manifestations and impacts, is defined by disordered thought and behavior patterns.

It’s not a body type nor is it a word to be used in describing physical appearance.

No matter how concerned you are, how supportive you’re trying to be of “real” bodies with “curves,” or how hushed your tones- no matter if you are fat or thin or a fucking plus size “body positive” publication attempting to advocate for size diversity on the runway: any time you use anorexia as a description of anything other than a serious and life threatening disease, you are being a complete fucking asshole and WHOLLY in the wrong.

Any potential point you could be making, be it about your concern for a friend or commentary on the state of female body image, is negated because you are a sizeist, shaming fuck.
