just heard my gf sending a voice message someone, and she accidentally said "lesbian" instead of "lebanese", so i guess we know what's on her mind
white liberal queers will be like "I'm a radical mean dyke sticking it to the patriarchy" and then you talk to them and their actual politics are like, surface-level cis academic feminism peppered with apologia for men

BIMBOIFICATION!

when do we want it?

BIMBOIFICATION!

The "misandry" discourse is coming back around again, and I'd just like to point out that I endured two weeks of harassment, stalking, and calls to be completely "fediblocked" for saying "misandry doesn't exist" a year ago to some weird asshole, and I maintain that MRAs need to get out of here

If I do nothing else in this life, I want to impress upon as many people as I can the importance of words. I know they're easy to throw around... "they're just words", some will say...

But words have meaning, history, baggage, context, *consequences* 

While I don't believe magic exists in our world, I get why many magic systems are based on words, whether that be incantations, curses, true names, or whatever else...

Whether they be multisyllabic monstrosities from the depths of a thesaurus or internet slang, words have real weight to them, real effects on real people  

Using words is a responsibility, and the more we forget that, the more harm they can cause

A non-exhaustive list of fictional anyas:

- Anya Jenkins: from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, formerly Anyanka the Patron Saint of Scorned Women. My name sake.

- Anya Forger: from Spy x Family. Chaotic telepathic pink haired little girl. My agere self.

- Anya Oliwa-Blazkowicz: from the modern Wolfenstein games. Major badass, Resistance member/leader, slaughterer of Nazis. A role model.

- Anya NoName: from Mouthwashing (surname pending reveal by the devs). Compassionate, traumatised, depressed. Basically me, in space.

- Anastasia "Anya" Romanov: from the Don Bluth animated movie, Anastasia.

- Anya Claus: from Santa Claus The Movie (1985).

- Aña "Anya" Sofia Corazón: from Marvel comics & movies, best known as Spider-Girl.

- There's also a handful of other characters called Anya in Marvel comics, mostly backstory characters like Magneto's daughter and a former Black Widow.

These are all the fictional Anyas that I know of.

Are there more? Please share if you know any!
