fandom hot take but people who say "fans who need to realize the difference between romantic and friendship 🙄🙄🙄🙄" when they're a queer ship probably translates to " I hate fans always put lgbt in everything and it's icky and I can't be ignore that they exist anymore"

these are the same people who demand the creators when the main boy and girls characters to be as a couple

This is - hopefully obviously - parody, but it's worth a moment.

When people insist that describing reality accurately is some kind of bigotry and that you're an istaphobe of some variety, what they're really saying is that they and their beliefs are disconnected from the real world, and they object to the imposition of reality into their fantasy world.

It's the same thing as when Xians call you "mean" or accuse you of "hating god" for pointing out the bible's complete and obvious lack of coherence with reality.

It doesn't matter if they don't like it, if it's true.

Cishet relationships involving Black women are not heteronormative, especially mixed race relationships with non-white men, because Black women are NOT normalized in our media's depiction of relationships. That's really all there is to it.

It's right there in the name: 'normative'. For that to happen women of color in general have to be more prevalent in media. They're simply not.

If you think a cishet relationship which involves a woman of color, especially a black woman, is the same as one in which the woman is white, you really need to read up on racialized misogyny and do some self examination. These kinds of claims harm black women in their representation. Until they're seen as readily as any other woman in a relationship, them being depicted in a cishet relationship--especially a mixed race relationship and double extra if the man isn't white--is a far cry from the heteronormativity of a cis white straight couple.

No one says you have to like it. But claiming a relationship is something it's not to justify your dislike is harmful and unnecessary.

Friendly reminder that just because someone struggles to talk to you doesn’t mean they don’t like you. It is damaging to you both if you assume someone hates you and talks shit about you just because they’re not responding how you want them to. There are plenty of other reasons as to why someone is quiet and doesn’t talk much. And usually that reason is NOT because they hate you and talk shit about you. And if you can’t come to terms with that and still think the only possibility they’re not talking to you is because they have something against you, then idk what to say except, that’s a you problem and you should get a therapist for that anxiety.

Sorry to hit y'all with my annoyance out of nowhere but once again the 'his or her' thing is pissing me off simply because it's so unnecessary most of the time!

Like, in Genshin you can choose either twin to be the MC. And on a video discussing buried lore bombs, someone in the comments made a single paragraph much longer than it had to be because they used 'his or her/he or she' in reference to the MC, 11 times while trying to get their point across!

They could have said 'Traveler', like all in-game characters do. They could have used 'They' to shorten in. Hell, even 'MC' is a good substitute! OR, just use the name of the MC they chose.

^I used THEY for example because IDK the gender of the person talking and IDC all that much either. THEY works just fine.

Who wants to sit there typing even more words than they need to?

Self Disclosure and Taylor Swift's Mastermind

Maybe, just maybe Taylor is feeling people out, carefully testing the waters, and making a decision to update her public persona based on the reactions she receives. I think it would be beneficial for people to relax on the “straightest woman in the world” narrative, so she doesn’t get locked in a box (gold cage?!). Even if she is straight, does it need defending? Straight, is the majority, the…

Critical thinking goes out the window apparently in my class.

“Mental illness causes people to be gay” do you realise how stupid you sound? I may be in a glass closet but my best friend sure isn’t. Yes she’s in a heteronormative relationship BUT SHE STILL IS BI?

I should have started swinging or confronted her AH

I see why the world is still shit

"it's ok for labels to change as you learn more about yourself" and "i hope with every fiber of my being that I'm right about being aroace and nobody will come along to change my mind because I hate the idea of being in a romantic relationship or conforming to gender roles or heteronormativity" are two sentences that can and should coexist.

Heteronormativity

Yesterday night, I was having a conversation with a friend and my mother and partners were present, too. I mentioned how different the relationship between my mother and my partner was when compared to my mother’s relationship with my grandmother, my mom’s mother-in-law. I told her how differently your son-in-law treats you as compared to how you treated my grandmother. And she instantly…
