the fact that the stereotypical image of a person with bpd is a tme white girl obsessed with east asian culture and aesthetics is deeply evil

Alex. He is either what all Alexes dream to be, or what all Alexes fear. There is no in-between...

If anyone would be interested, I could share more songs that fit the characters of WTTW. I don’t have all that much, though.

Alex: “Do you want me to whisper what your name is?”

Interviewer: “Was it a good one?”

Jodie: “YES!”

So, there we have it!

Season One is complete (well ... ish). I've had an absolute riot playing Gwen, and it's been so lovely seeing your reactions every week.

To you: thank you for being the most enthusiastic, engaged, and earnest fandom I have ever encountered. Y'all are an absolute JOY.

To the entire team at RQ, to my gorgeous castmates, and to every single writer who worked on this one: thank you, and congratulations.

And to Gwendolyn Bouchard? Well ... Good Luck, Babe!

lowkey kinda tired of the only thing some people have to say about lesbians being just “lesbians are very fetishized by cis straight men”. like every time there’s a lesbian W in media or a lesbian ship/character gets popular, there’s bound to be a metric fuckton of people coming out of the woodworks to be like “it’s bc straight men like it so that’s why it’s more socially acceptable 🙄” can we just have stuff without people constantly reminding us of how we’re constantly objectified by men for once ???

“picking a privileged group to be the butt of a joke because it's lighthearted when nobody's actually getting hurt by doing so Only Works when everyone within that group is actually privileged.” in that case, what IS a privileged group that you deem acceptable to do this to? because every privileged/oppressor group on planet earth has marginalized people in it, too. white people? there are queer white people, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still white. cis people? there are gay cis people and cis people of color. so I really don’t understand what the point of this comment is in all honesty.

intersectionality exists for sure but also using it as an excuse to act as if trans men aren’t still men (“people really do use perceived privilege as an excuse to avoid showing compassion for marginalized men”) is crazy bonkers to me when trans men literally show every damn day on this fucking website how much they love talking over trans women. there seem to be plenty of them in the notes too judging by all the transandrophobia tags. yeah it gets tricky when (due to a multitude of possible reasons) society might not consider you to be a man anyways and thus you can’t always reap all of the same benefits of male privilege as cis men anyways but like. within our trans spaces? it isn’t perceived privilege. it’s actual legit privilege.

yes it sucks to be told that men are dumb and uninteresting when you are a trans man but also I think people have to remember that this is not a societal issue too. when we step offline and out of these communities, we all very much see that the complete opposite is the common perspective — men are inherently more interesting than and worth more than women. I think that marginalized women in particular (no clue if op of the screenshot is but I’m just saying) are allowed to not like men very much and make posts about that on their personal blogs.

I'm not blaming the op of the original post, or trying to imply anything about them as a person. and I don't want to single out this post in particular, because the issue is an broadly reaching trend rather than any one individual happening to write a post in five minutes one time.

but I really Really wish we'd stop and think if it's a good idea to say "girls turning into boys makes them inherently less interesting" on the transgender website

picking a privileged group to be the butt of a joke because it's lighthearted when nobody's actually getting hurt by doing so Only Works when everyone within that group is actually privileged. making jokes about how men are lesser than doesn't Actually affect the people who are actually within power, but Does chip away at the confidence and comfort of marginalized men who are In these communities to be exposed to it.

and the issue isn't about any one joke or poorly worded discussion in particular, but it's difficult to articulate why it can feel so alienating and unsafe to have things like this be so common within my communities without sounding ridiculous or risk being made fun of for not being able to take a joke. because the framing of implied privilege makes it easy to twist those feelings alienation into the entitlement that's assumed with men taking issue with being the butt Of a joke.

I simply think "this type of person is inherently lesser than" should be reexamined and thrown out as a talking point, even in a lighthearted context. because there will always be vulnerable people within those groups who already Hear that they are lesser than for existing

it’s fucking insane because weebs will love and be fascinated by “chinese aesthetics” but specifically the aforementioned hypersexual stereotypes that they see in anime/video games because they’re too intimidated by our actual culture to earnestly seek it out

it's crazy how often japanese artists portray chinese women as hypersexualized stereotypes. they always have the bao hair buns and wear extremely high cut cheongsams that they do kung fu in or whatever. and then westerners see this in anime and video games and think there's nothing wrong with it so they reproduce the stereotypes in their own art. like hello???
