You know me first and I'm repressed. You know me second and I'm vulgar. You know me third and I'm just a good old fashioned lover girl.

"Privileged people will demand facts. Statistics. Your stories about oppression? Your experiences? They are not enough to convince privileged people that what you have experienced is real. After all, you are not a white man. Your experiences don’t automatically gain the “normal and natural” status. Your experiences may not be credible at all. They have no reason to believe your stories, because again, as white men, they don’t and can’t share them. Nevermind that all they have is anecdotal evidence, their personal experience to back up their beliefs. They are white. And male. And many other normal, natural things that make their opinions and experiences normal and natural…and yours kind of aberrant and not trust-worthy."

and when you do give them stats, they end the discussion with an arbitrary insult

(via chocolatejigglypuff)

This is why I pretty much ignore everyone who asks for statistics. Go look them up your fucking self and take your whiteness-soaked logistics with you.

(via dumbthingswhitepplsay)

This is absolutely, embarrassingly idiotic. Everyone should be prepared to defend their perception of reality that they assert is indicative of a larger-scale social interaction patterns with FACTS. Good on you if you have anecdotal “evidence”. I say “evidence” because anecdotes are as valid as  kittens are in an argument. Compelling, but in the long run, useless for the sake of the discussion.

It’s sad that the non-privileged people have the weight of proving their experience, but saying “nah nah nah stop being privileged you white male” isn’t going to help the cause at all. Unless you want to be on Tumblr forever, that is.

Don’t hate on logic and statistics because there hasn’t been enough for the underprivileged. 

Disclaimer: I’m an Asian bisexual female in foster care. Does that make me underprivileged enough for you to take this opinion seriously, or will you say that I’m too white to understand the plights of the oppressed?

My favorite stock artists on deviantArt, for my own reference, but also in case anyone wants some pretty sweet stock images (though most of these people are fairly well-known).

  • ahrum-stock has the most insane poses. Seriously HQ dude.
  • mjranum-stock has an incredible range of poses, costumes, models, lighting, and angles. Also verrryyyy HQ.
  • senshistock has so many stock photos available it blows my mind. Not many different setups, but she always has unique poses and props.
  • fairiegoodmother I just think the female model is really pretty.
  • yellow-stock more pretty ladies, I’m sensing a pattern.
  • felixdeon this dude has some of the weirdest gay fetish stock ever (that’s not true) but he also has an extensive gallery of male nude stock photos which is pretty hard to come by (heh heh come by).

Probably will add to this later as I rediscover photos. Enjoy if anyone is so inclined.

this is very useful

Right click + New Tab to see the images in their original size. There are 10 images, sorry I had to chop them up because Tumblr has a image size limit and starts resizing.

KING RAT: We're not reading too much into it

tekanji:

When people speak out about oppression they face, other (generally privileged) people immediately start up with the “you’re looking for reasons to be offended” and “you’re reading too much into it”. Most times it’s because the reasons given aren’t “good enough” to convince the…

But a single anecdote does not a pattern make.

Let’s not point to an incident that may or may not stand out to you because it affirms what you want to be true and say that such is the case for all. It’s reckless.

Should I prepare for 200 reblogs about how privileged I am? Should I wave my disadvantages in air?

On the inside:

“ABORT ABORT LOG OFF TUMBLR LOG OFF TWITTER DELETE HISTORY OH MY FUCKING GOD LOOK AT THAT NC-17 FIC JUST SITTING OPEN IN A TAG WHAT THE FUCK…

I just warn people to avert their eyes from all but their web browser tab. 

And then offer to link some really great porn to them if they want to get off.
