Ngl I think I hate performative girlbossification of female characters more than I hate people not including said female characters in their fan content. Actually I don't care at all if they're indifferent to her. Who gives a fuck. Like I'd respect it more if they're like "ngl I just don't give a shit about her" with their whole chest, rather than being like "OMG I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!! She's perfect, she's best girl, she kicks ass [never talks about her ever and only includes her as a prop to examine the male characters they DO like]" just because they're scared of getting called misogynistic. Like if you know in your heart that this character means nothing to you and you know you're not gonna do her justice, might as well just leave her out. But attempts to shoehorn her in, using your 2015-feminist style characterization is so weak, man.

small rili moment i'll just post by itself

seen one too many snide posts about this in the last week or so but did you know that if you don't enjoy scenes in smut establishing consent or checking in then you simply don't have to read them and you don't have to go online and whine about how they're Consent Posturing and Purity Culture and Sanitizing Everything and God Just Kill Me Now. like you can have a preference without making it into a three act morality play, which is ironically what you are accusing other people of doing.

the same goes for like, detailed content warnings on fics. or content warnings at all. you can just skip those. they're not a sign of Purity Culture Gone Too Far or Those Damn Puriteens or whatever. you can dislike things without being an asshole about them or implying they're Taking Away What's Good And Correct About Fic Or Creativity.

I literally saw someone say laios is too autistic for romance... you guys HAVE to start being respectful to autistic people. like I know he's just a character but its emblematic of real problems. Even if it's just a joke, it is NOT FUNNY to perpetuate ableism in the form of jokes. I see like a thousand posts a day about how he has autistic swag and in the SAME POST joke about how his friends actually hate him, nobody could REALLYYY like him they're all just pretending <3, he's too autistic for sex or romance or love.

He has canonical problems in the text with people pretending to be his friend, or people secretly hating him. We've gone over and over again about how divorcing autistic people and characters from sex and romance on the whole is infantilizing. (individual ace/aro headcanons are fine, but maybe also examine where they're coming from when its characters widely seen as autistic). I feel like a lot of fans don't even realize what they're doing. oftentimes what you think is funny fan content is actually you making fun of him and excluding him from things based on his autistic traits.

And this isn't even MENTIONING the racism in making kabru be aggressive to laios for no reason all the time when kabru has genuine reason and understanding even when he thinks he might need to kill laios. OR how weird it is that people will boil down falin's autistic traits for farcille and say like "yeah she's similar to laios, but she's less of a 'freak' (AKA has developed people pleasing social skills) so marcille likes her still :)"

You always hide such good things in the tags to your meta 😭❤️ I really feel the part where Hans can’t stay as part of the nobility after what he’s been through. I honestly hope the game would give us a faking his own death (for historical accuracy) but living away from everything with Henry.

I talk about that a ton in my longer post about Hans' relationship with the nobility but it killssssss meeeeee the idea that there really is no going back for him. The disillusionment can never be undone. He's seen what it could be like and he wants it so badly he starts considering alternatives if only Henry so much as nudges him in that direction. And mind you, that's not a player choice! Henry does that all on his own. Because he knows Hans and he sees him for who he is and what he wants/needs. The things that Hans is so well-practiced at denying himself 🥲

For same-sex attracted people ONLY

Have been discussing this with the woman I'm seeing; I am personally only fine with lavender, but she made the good point that it was also very much a derogatory word. I think the origins are different and so the enduring sentiments are different, but am very curious what others think.

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

maybe it's the winter past 4pm talking but. ive always been 100% that ill never make a fandom sideblog bc this is my space and i do what i want and if you want to follow me then you have to put up with all my bullshit but idk. maybe i should make a video game sideblog bc i feel like im just being annoying

[autism-purgatory]

Girl help people who’ve never written anything are saying it’s bigoted to give queer, disabled, or poc characters flaws and depth and that its just a watsonian excuse for the writer to be bigoted. Yes that CAN exist (like the “she looks 12 but is actually 1000 years old! Bullshit) but to say it’s bigoted for a character to make stupid decisions or be mean with in-universe explanations (not justifications, explanations) in the writing, then you’re just trying to enforce the Hays Code Tumblr 2012 edition.

trusting people's words is not enough , I need to be able to read their minds -

I've asked this question on insta and so I'll ask here aswell, since I'm very curious about people's opinion on this

Please reblog it for wider scale I'm very curious 🥺

[saturncoyote]

The talk of a sentient race being "domesticated" or being "selectively bred", like they're animals, is edging into a territory with uncomfortable narrative implications. I mean no ill will when saying this! It's just adding to it the idea that Creek betraying his own people because he has "obedience bred into him" seems.. I'm sure the other anon meant no harm in that statement, but comes off as a statement made from a place of ignorance about past historical propaganda in the real world alongside the rest stated. The Bergens throwing out grey trolls makes sense, but beyond that I'm not sure if it is only me that feels this is uncomfortable to hear. I hope this makes sense. I apologize if this comes off as rude in any way!

Oh no yeah you're 100% right and you SHOULD say it

I'm sure everyone here meant no harm whatsoever and is just exploring the possibilities of speculative biology but at the end of the day Trolls are still a sapient species that's like a pretty big deal

Really i thank you for sending this ask, if anything i should have noticed those implications sooner and i apologise

Again the "horror" of this speculative conversation should come from the fact that trolls are still, at the end of the day, just tiny people, and the fact that they were being kept for food is pretty fucked up for a children's movie, and that conversation should probably end at that

i’ve noticed a rise in people using “adhd people” and “adhders” and was wondering how common this was and how much of an issue it’s seen as across the adhd community !! hope the options make sense lol

rb for a wider sample size pretty please
