    I see that Dark Lord Fanfiction is a style option. If anyone on the forum decides to use that style of their own volition, they should just go ahead and kill themselves, because there is something deeply wrong with them.

    Are you guys telling me that this is no longer a Safe Space to talk about how cis attitudes are corrupting our ideas of fiction writing?

    I think it's a relatively Safe Space so long as no one goes crazy politically correct; also that's just stupid. The trans people I know don't talk about 'cis attitudes corrupting fiction/choice of medium'; it's more of an invisibility thing. The only trannies the public really sees (unless one lives in the gay side of a metropolis) are the ones who do Drag or the caricatures in media.

    That's more of an Ao3 thing than an ff.net thing.

    The last thing I would have expected anyone to tell me about my jokes is that I need to make them less subtle, but okay.

    I thought the cis-hating privilege thing was mostly the domain of tumblr?

    Beat me with metaphorical sticks, but wtf is cis? I suspect it's not the chemistry thing?

    I assume he meant cis-gendered/sexual, as opposed to trans-gendered/sexual. Most people think of this as the "normal" sort of gender identity.

    It's supposedly a derogatory slur used by trans to describe people who remain the same gender.

    Ehh... the cis/trans construct is a gender identity which is separate from the sexual orientation identity. So a cis-gendered person (male or female) can be gay, straight, poly, whatever-the-hell-they-want. What you described is cis-gendered, heterosexual.

    It's derogatory? I guess some people use it like that. Huh.

    Whatever the hell it means, it should stay in the dark recesses of Tumblr.

    So last year's lack of April 1st Tomfoolery was a clever ruse designed to lull us into a false sense of security?
