I Am Soooo Normal!!!

hi baby punk and idk having an older person to help introduce kids to like community events they could do to help out would be neat. like a clean up or volunteering. not sure if that was what u had in mind though

Old & New Punks, I got a question!

Now that i'm getting older (a 27 year old punk this year, been more involved in the punk spaces for 5 yearas now), I've realized that I am no longer a baby punk -- despite not having a 'scene' at home -- and I will soon become the mentor for the younger punks. Yet, I don't know how to be one. This is perhaps an odd question, but baby punks tell me:

What can older punks do to teach y'all stuff about the subculture? What has been disappointing behavior from older punks you wish to not see again?

And older punks! (Or baby punks that have a good insight on this): How can I be a better mentor for the youngins? Tips and tricks on how to look out for them? How can I avoid being such a groggy old head? LOL

why do the writers hate book T-T

I love u bfdi crew SOOOO much but like it's getting tiring how much book is ufe?? and its not like there's ever an interesting story or character arc going on for her anymore... Like what's going on?? I feel like after bfb Book deserves so much better... especially since she's up against so many S1 Fan favourites! No hate to the crew, I understand it must be rough running a show! I just wanted to share my thoughts on how book is being handled as a character.

HOLY SHIT THERE’S FANART??

dont think ive posted this here before

Well then I guess according to you Im dense because I don't understand why it is confusing that I want it to be known my account is a safe space when reblogging a post made by a terf. Maybe Im just not far down the rabbit hole cause I have no idea why I would get cancelled for that or why you feel the need to point it out. I wouldn't say I'm confused but I do find it questionable that you feel the need to point this out or call me dense, while I won't argue with that, I don't understand why it matters to you.

Basically, some honesty behind your intentions would be nice. Even though I can guess and assume it comes from you wanting to pick a fight, I'd like to start trying to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.

We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.

There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.

While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.

Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.

Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.

I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.

MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.

YES OH MY GOD. I love people who make good use of words

Hot take: The Cosmo Mischaracterization Goes Both Ways.

Cosmo is my favourite character. He's sweet, caring, oblivious to jokes, a little too nervous for his own good, and very self-sacrificial (why does nobody talk about this part?) Since I'm one of the rare cosmo fans who like him for who he is-or just rare cosmo fan period since they don't exist unless they like fruitcake...- I DESPISE mischaracterization of him, especially by people who don't even like him that much. People (not even cosmo fans) get enraged when Cosmo is even REMOTELY feminine... despite him obviously being a feminine guy in cannon. No, it's not making him an uwu femboy to draw him with his literally cannon cute asf stockings. It's okay for him to be a Twink... Anyways, not everybody overreacts like that but some people who hate it try to be different by going the complete opposite, even if it means changing his entire fucking character. YOU ARE STILL MISCHARACTERIZING COSMO. I see him turned into a very masculine, confident, snarly guy and people go "Wow! finally an accurate Cosmo!)

... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO COSMO IS?? Like I'm fine with OOC but own up to it. And if suddenly the fandom can handle OOC, then we all need to give Junepa0 a huge apology.

Oh right and side note, people who like top Cosmo always feel the need to completely change his personality and make him taller, like... just make an oc at this point. You don't need to change his character to make him a 'top', at that point, just don't.
