Stealing This Response For The Next Time Some Fuckboy Slides Into My DMs And Asks If I'm A Girl

Stealing this response for the next time some fuckboy slides into my DMs and asks if I'm a girl

Some twat on Instagram tried to "prove a point" by asking if I'm a man or woman.

I'm a fucking menace.

I'm the eye shine in the corner of your room at night. I'm the thing that you feel chasing you up the stairs, my breath tickling the baby hairs on your neck as you flee. I'm what you put on bumper stickers and pass down as an old legend, the thing under the overpass that bites the heads off horny teenagers and tears up all your garbage cans. I am what God failed to drown in the flood.

My gender is whatever freaks you the fuck out the most.

My knowledge of Taylor Swift starts and ends with "I kinda vibe with some of her songs" and that she has an absolutely rabid fanbase

So seeing this was both entertaining and educational. Thank you tiktok (this time)

been seeing a lot of stitches of this with woc absolutely shredding taylor and the shit she’s pulled in the name of feminism and it’s so refreshing

Random worldbuilding from the book I'll probably never write: The Empire's custom of praising one's enemies.

People of the Empire have no concept of modesty nor humility - the only true virtues are power, cunning and strength, being humble is for slaves. Northfolk often take them for honourless braggarts, and are often baffled when a citizen of the Empire breaks into praise once defeated. It seems odd to them that someone who was just bested by the fraction of a hair breaks into astonished, overflowing praises of "how strong he is to have defeated me!" or "how clever and brilliant she was to have bested me!"

Some will take this sudden turn as an expression of good sportsmanship, a sudden rare spark of genuine humility. This is false. Someone with less respect might take it for cowardice, an attempt to flatter the stronger foe in hopes of being spared. This is even further from the truth. Someone with more understanding of the Empire's culture and their sense of honour might mistake it for self-flagellation - a self-inflicted punishment for the shame and dishonour of being defeated. This is wrong as well.

As the thing is, the Empire's people do not find it shameful to be defeated by a better enemy - and if you were defeated by someone lowly, that only means that you are even lower than they are. And in praising the one who defeated them, they are still boasting. By announcing that the enemy who rose victorious by being stronger or more clever is astonishingly strong or clever, one is above all else still indirectly highlighting their own greatness. Loudly announcing that the victor was inhuman in their power and brilliance, being defeated by them is only understandable, even honourable.

By announcing that someone could only have bested you by being the most clever, brilliant, strong or powerful warrior, tactician or merchant alive, one is still proclaiming to be the second best there ever was. Which is still a pretty damn good status to have.

Jumping on the train because I like to insert myself where I don't belong :)
