A collection of words that you may see on this blog, or associated with my work. These are meant to help you better understand what I am saying, without having to explain it every time it comes up. Please note that some of these words may be used differently in different circles. I have been on the internet for over 15 years now, and was around to see most of these terms crop up (and die, fall into misuse, or be altered by bad actors).
These terms are not an identity. They are not "me." They are just words I have found useful when speaking to others. If "you" are only made up of labels, I suggest you get offline for a bit. Might I recommend one of these books?
Radinclus, Radically Inclusive: Being inclusive of all good faith identities. This is exclusionary of only harmful or trolling "identities" (trasrape, transnazi, transstupid, and whatever else). It does not imply that someone is queer by way having a parphilia alone. Right-wing/TERF jargon will purposfully confuse it with other labels whenever able. I might not understand it, but we're all trying our damndest just to survive out here. Who am I to police the identity and feelings of others?
Gutterotica: Gross, disturbing artwork, which may be sexual, gorey, or erotic in nature. See The Gutterotica Manifesto.
"Ethical AI" / "AI For Fun Not Profit": I'm unsure if anyone else uses this. It's a tag I had created on Mastodon to express my desires for ethics in AI. In its current state AI is deeply unethical, trained on illicit material, and being abused by corporations to harm creatives, coders, and more. But I do believe AI could be a useful tool-- just one I'd wish people would stop using to bludgeon artists.
Anti-Censorship: Against the censorship of queer, transgressive, degenerate, and "uncomfortable" art. See: "Degenerate" Art on the Holocaust Encyclopedia, 6 MAY 1933: LOOTING OF THE INSTITUTE OF SEXOLOGY on the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, and this playlist on YouTube. Further reading is available for those more academically-minded.
No, being anti-censorship is not the belief that people are allowed to advocate for harm, including the rape of real animals and children, hate crimes, or insighting violence against anyone. No, right-wingers who spam lolicon porn on Twitter are not "anti-censorship." No, not every fantasy porn story is "evidence" of a person's "secret desires," Freud. No, the sexualization of real minors is not acceptable (pornographic RPF, AI CSAM, child models/actors/idols, etc). No, your thinly-vieled "I want to rape and kill all women/black folk/trans people/whatever" fantasy is not included in this (go to therapy, Gary L.M. Martin).
You are responsible for your actions, ideologies, and spreading harmful rhetoric. You don't get to hurt, harass, exploit, or threaten anyone under the guise of "anti-censorship," including sending death threats, even to the most vile people you've had the misfortune of seeing on Twitter.
