Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me
i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.
#also this is less relevant and i was going to put it in the main post but i cant find the words for it#but i found your last sentence kind of condescending. “the shallura thing worries me” as if i am your little project and things arent going#to plan. as if you are the Knower Of All Things and i am straying from my path lol. twas odd#and this is a controversial thing to say i know it but like#we take fandom way too seriously. if someone decides in fic to make two characters the same age to ship them or whatever. do we really need#to get the torches and pitchforks. like i can understand discomfort when people ship like shiro and pidge or something but. also. i feel#like you can just block and move on?? like i dont ship sheith bc they are brothers. to me. but also i dont think sheithers should be#harassed or any dumb shit like that. i think its so so whatever like theyre Lines man theyre moving lines#at the same time i understand that peoples headcanons can be reflective of their worldviews (like when racism/transphobia/sexism shine#through someone's headcanons/characterization) but how much scrutiny is too much? when do we get to remember that fandom is a place to#work with the FICTIONAL? where you can change details without consequence? i saw a fic where keith was the older sibling and shiro was the#younger once. it was a good fic. how come we can play with ages but only when the Fandom Council approves?#i guess this is a really long and clumsy way to say like. you do not own the fandom nor do you get to dictate my work. and while there#is always room for necessary criticism please also think critically before you post your criticism#anyways#rant#ask

non-lgbt neurotypicals after a successful day of telling neurodivergent queer people that their headcanons are secretly ableist and anti-lgbtq

#“autism is a serious condition not a personality trait 🥺 you can't just call everyone autistic” and then the character is like sherlock#i see it a lot for trans headcanons too (im cis so don't have many but like why tf are people trying to cancel trans people for transphobia)#byler#ronance#robin buckley#<- the autism gays in question#autism#actually autistic#lgbtq#lesbian#trans#gay#neurodivergent#wednesday addams#bbc sherlock#abed nadir#(for some examples ive seen when they're literally so autism coded if not canon autistic argue with the wall)

being plural/being a system is really nice, i love us
#hot take: anti-endo-ness is repurposed homo/transphobia#“being a system isnt an identity you can pick and choose with”#unlike being queer? you think queerness is a choice? because thats certainly what it sounds like you're implying.#people are picking the labels they think fit best describe their life and experiences.#sometimes its the standard ones (bisexual‚ he/him‚ trans ‚traumagenic‚ etc)#and sometimes its the more specific ones not everyone is all that familiar with (orchidsexual‚ fae/faer‚ catgender‚ catharigenic‚ etc)#and yeah. some people do make choices. and theres nothing wrong with them for doing so.#idk why im rambling like this people are just here for shitposts not to see me reading too much into things#but seeing “plurality is nothing like queerness” when the two are both such intrinsic and interwoven parts of my/our identity.#it honestly kinda upsets me.#lol.exe#blackout poetry#pro endo#endo safe#endo friendly#anti rq#radqueers fuck off

It’s weird how reactionary and non open minded you are about the criticism of men. If someone is lighting someone’s house on fire, we shouldn’t ignore the person whose house is on fire and who is calling for help. People like you who have issues with the public discussion of women’s issues need to take a long hard look at yourselves and wonder why you become so irate and struggle with the idea of women voicing concern about physical violence, rape, assault, fraud, etc.
so first off anon, this was never the point i was making?? these are the only 2 posts i can think of in recent memory this ask could be about and in BOTH scenarios i am NOT complaining about people voicing real and valid struggles and concerns. i am complaining about people openly and solely declaring that they Hate Men, because i feel like it adds absolutely nothing productive and only harms the overall feminist journey towards progress by alienating/villianizing half the population for something they cant control. saying 'i hate men' is not a "public discussion of women's issues", sorry! venting? sure-- but so was my post.
also
#i dont know how to explain to you that people dont like it when you say you hate them#and thus even if that hate doesnt apply to you like. you understand this isnt a good way to go about this right#sorry if i come off too rude i tried to answer mainly in good faith but also i dont think this like. applies to me#because you are discussing elements i did not and never intended to bring up in my Spam Blog Vent Post#not to get too personal but also like. i admittedly am a bit extra sensitive rn because the egg JUST fuckin cracked#maybe my take will calm down back to not giving a fuck in a few months but rn this is something i care abt so. sorry lol!#i mean. thank you anon in that i want to remain cognizant of this and make sure i dont backslide#if im in the wrong here yall PLEASE let me know but i feel this is an acceptable response#i hope it’s understandable how i may feel defensive#and how easy it is to interpret ‘I hate men’ as ‘I hate you for being a man’ which is just. transphobia!#< not arguing it actually is/isn’t but that’s how it FEELS. again i am also admittedly sensitive to it rn
