Hi I’m Phasma (or Phaz)! I’m a possum furry who’s interested in a lot of random stuff. I like possums and generally ramble about whatever I feel like. I do art sometimes, like drawing and making plushies. Also love cooking and baking. Weirdly passionate about sarsaparilla

It's disturbing to me that any talk of "human overpopulation" is considered legitimate. Like really really really disturbing. And few in the academic world seem to be sounding the alarm about it. "We are only proposing the need to promote family planning in poor countries with no access to it to curb overpopulation, not coercive measures" ARE YALL FUCKING STUPID??!

Sick and tired of hearing shit like "aaaaaaaaa population growth in India so scareeeyyyyy we gotta 'Help' them have less kids" blatantly ignoring the bloody trail of horrendous human rights violations that came of past attempts to 'Help' lower population growth, which began with heavy incentivization from western nations

Honestly just read up on neo-Malthusianism and the Eugenics movement before you say things.

Family planning technologies are primarily known as a good thing, but history tells us that they have been historically forced upon poor people, and people of color, or if not forced directly, people have been coerced into IUDs and sterilization operations by being denied benefits and food aid etc. unless they get the procedure done.

This is part of reproductive rights and bodily autonomy

Not to mention that even assuming population WAS responsible for climate change, "we need to reduce human population via family planning" is literally going to do nothing within the critical period for mitigating climate change. THE MATH DOES NOT WORK.

Like okay assume we reduce the global fertility rate to 1, half of the replacement rate (since each kid requires two bio parents). On a global scale this is borderline impossible and would likely require monstrous violations of human rights as well as causing serious problems for society, but let's assume you can do it.

Most of the parents are still going to live 25-30 more years at absolute minimum. Kids being born now will probably still be alive in 2100 if current life-span trends continue.

In other words, there are 8 billion people alive on earth NOW and the only way to make that number go down is for people to die, and a lot of those 8 billion people aren't due to be dead anytime soon.

Global demographics by age hmm!

so if we assume a life expectancy of 75ish we can form a prediction of when people in these groups will die.

As you can see nothing much would change for most of the century even if we decreased birth rates more dramatically than humanly possible

They literally discussed this on NPR this week with the author of a new book about climate change: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/11/1186958585/life-death-rising-temperatures

His take on the population question is that it’s not the number of people that are the problem, it’s how they consume. And that the top 10% of rich people are the ones doing the most damage: flying everywhere, having multiple houses/cars/yachts/that are all using up resources wastefully, etc. Fewer careless rich people would make a bigger impact than fewer people overall.

Big corporations are even worse than any individual, too.

Advertising. Lawn mowers. Plastic knickknacks. Junk mail. Golf courses. Big ass cruise ships. Let's start by knocking out all the things that aren't necessary for human life and happiness before deciding we need fewer people

frenchroasted

I mean, the point I was trying to make was that we don’t need to have fewer people. Just that we don’t need anyone to be so wealthy they can generate more pollution/greenhouse gases/etc. than a small country.

headspace-hotel

I gotcha I was agreeing with you. The wealth (fuck tons of unnecessary consumption) is the problem

the thing about anti-kink people ive found is that they would rather cut off their tongues than discuss subs who get off on being slapped around and degraded. literally they are incapable of discussing kink without making the entire thing about evil doms hurting their subs so they can get off. idk maybe it's related to how they can't make an argument that doesn't deprive subs/women of autonomy over their own desires & the ability to knowingly consent to kink. because that is their one fucking argument

^ example of "their only argument is that women shouldn't have autonomy over their sex lives and can't consent"

The Enlightened Radfems have deemed all kinky sex you have as abuse. And since they have decided that this is a fact of your reality, you are incapable of consenting. You may think you can consent, but you can't- you're too stupid indoctrinated by the patriarchy to actually think for yourself. You can't actually know what is hurting you, you need someone else to decide what is right for your body and mind for you. The Enlightened Radfems just want to help you, so you need to ignore everything you think and feel and trust that they know best, they know better than you because they are Educated In Feminism. You need to learn to distrust everything you think and feel, and seek out the advice of Enlightened Radfems to tell you which thoughts are Wrong and which thoughts are Right.

Dislike this? Think its patronizing and eerily similar to how the patriarchy acts towards you? Well, you would think that, because you haven't been Enlightened. Its in your own best interest for them to ignore all those silly little thoughts about what you "want," since if you only listened to them you'd realize you don't actually want the things you want! What do you mean this sounds abusive and extremely controlling! We're Feminist Females so we're automatically better and safer!!!!!

What's fucking wild to me is that I wrote an essay about how being anti-BDSM is an anti-feminist stance... in 2001.

Literally twenty-two years ago, we were having the same discussion.

sashasparrow

similarly, i saw an article about a decade ago that said it's inherently abuse to be penetrated during sex and no woman - the author was specific - can consent to penetrative sex because we've been socialized to believe it a requirement.

vaspider

Oh yeah, that's, uh... Dworkin, I think.

So turns out…..you guys are not gonna believe this…….but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.

prettyaveragewhiteshark

Let me be completely clear - I’m not being a sarcastic ass. I’m just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like they’re getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.

@7redmoon nothing against some good fanfic, I’m a fic author myself, but there’s something very necessary and mentally nourishing about reading a published book that isn’t just a recycled version of the same cast of characters you’re already familiar with.

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

“How were LGBT people able to hijack the rainbow!?!”

Uhh, well Jake, we started using the rainbow to connote gayness and you immediately stopped using it because you were pants shittingly afraid of looking gay.

The same with a lot of women fashion, the very moment women starts to wear something too, it becomes “women fashion” and het cis men won´t touch it with a stick.

quasi-normalcy

There should be a word for the wholesale surrender of cultural objects to subaltern classes because you think you’re so much better than them that you don’t want to be mistaken for one. Like, the opposite of cultural appropriation. Cultural abandonment.
