neither “that’s not canon” nor “fuck canon we made this all up” but a secret third thing (canon shouldn’t be taken as gospel but is useful as a reference point for building upon and recontextualizing characters and details. if you worship the source material as unchangeable then fandom in general probably isn’t for you. if you have complete disdain for the source material you would probably enjoy yourself more in a different fandom)

I really and genuinely hate how much the narrative of "men are naturally stronger than women so we need different categories" is so dominant as to be baseline accepted by everyone instead of "men are socialized into valuing and developing strength and continually given opportunities to engage in high level athletic activity against quality opponents at young ages" and "the sports we value the highest as physical feats and dominance are ones men possess slight natural edges in biologically while sports that would favor women slightly are devalued"

can you recommend some hip hop and rap for us blorbo picturers? frankly im just not exposed to it enough but i always enjoy what i listen to

despite its brevity that first sentence is genuinely such a rich text. genuinely fascinating implications of rap and hip hop being framed as specifically outside of the bounds of the "blorbo picturers," a phrase presumably meant to encapsulate what the asker considers to be the "typical" fandom blogger and with which they explicitly identify themself (note "us blorbo picturers"). the presumption that normative participation in fandom precludes knowledge of and familiarity with rap is, to say the least, a loaded one, which bears out years of formal and anecdotal analysis by nerds of color (NOC, if you will) that construct fandom as a space that treats whiteness as default and is thus often alienating if not outright outright hostile to NOC. in this essay I will

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!
