if you’re going to make offensive jokes around me at least make them good so you can be reassured by the fact that you really utilized your one chance before i beat you to death

I saw a post that said “Dragon Age discourse walked so that Baldurs Gate 3 discourse could run” and that’s absolutely false. Dragon Age discourse sprinted, foaming at the mouth, so that BG3 discourse could skip happily through a meadow

when nimona first shapeshifted in front of gloreth, gloreth was a little freaked out, but more just shocked, and then they went on being friends. it was only once gloreth’s parents told her that nimona is a horrible monster that she finally turned on her. this movie isn’t subtle in the least with its themes, but i like this part of the movie because it really shows just how imaginary and baseless (for lack of a better way to phrase this) the fear of monsters (i.e. trans people) in society is. children, like gloreth, when left alone without any societal influences, will be faced with this Other, Different thing and accept it, just go with it. befriend them.

gay trans men: isn’t it fucked up that so many cis gay men proudly talk about how disgusting they think our bodies are, get violent when they realize they were attracted to one of us, push us out of community spaces because they don’t think we belong there, invalidate the orientation of the cis gay men who enter into relationships with us, accuse us of raping the cis gay men we’ve had sex with, aggressively misgender us and make assumptions about our bodies, act like their personal lack of desire to be with us means we must be fundamentally unattractive and morally reprehensible, and generally treat our existence like a personal attack worthy of a violent response when all we’re trying to do is exist?

those cis gay men & their friends: oh my god, you’re literally trying to force your disgusting female pussy onto gay men! this is conversion therapy! you’re a predator and a rapist and you deserve to die!

gay trans men: …we literally do not care if you have sex with us. nobody said anything about that. a lot of us are t4t, asexual, and/or already in a relationship, and the rest of also don’t want to have sex with you that badly because we would much rather be fucking someone who actually likes us; this has never been about who we personally want to sleep with. we’d just really appreciate it if you could treat us like human beings and not actively try to make the gay community hostile toward our existence. you don’t have to be attracted to us, just don’t be awful to us? and maybe, once you have that part down, ask yourself why you were so quick to assume a subset of queer people are all violent predators?

those people: HOMOPHOBES! EVIL GROSS FETISHIZING RAPIST HOMOPHOBES!

fascinated by this subset of ostensible leftists who pivot hard into fash rhetoric as soon as something doesn’t go their way.

can we fucking stop assigning “ableist” to characters for no fucking reason. jesus christ. not only is it extremely boring and cop-out storytelling to just make villains out of regular ass characters to create your conflict, it’s also fucking jarring and exhausting to have to be slapped with slurs and ableist microagressions towards a CHILD out of nowhere while reading an otherwise unrelated (and untagged for it!) fic. im not normally one to get this negative on main, but if im being honest? you guys are pissing me the fuck off

i don’t think acknowledging that antisemitism exists in leftist spaces, which include antizionist spaces (tbh especially so because the fact that israel is associated with jewish people worldwide is fodder for antisemites who are also leftists) defeats the point of antizionism, any more than acknowledging that leftist spaces are often immensely sexist, ableist, anti-addict, and dismissive of indigenous voices makes you a spineless liberal.

my boyfriend was talking to some of his friends about me and when he mentioned i’m brazilian one of his friends went “and his parents were like, chill with that?” obviously referring to my gender/sexuality which is a WEIRD question but my boyfriend expertly parried with “yeah i mean they were a little surprised when he came out as brazilian but they’re cool with it” i need this man’s hand in marriage

It’s kinda wild how some people who claim to be trans rights activists are so adamant about figuring out if someone is amab or afab. And then once they find out, they place you in the box of your assigned sex and completely disregard your actual identity.

No one is asking you to like cops IRL, not even the show. If you look at Arcane and what you see is copaganda, if you look at Cait and only see PoLiCe OfFiCeR and not the character, the problem is YOU.

1. I never said anyone asked me to like cops irl

2. I know that’s what I said.

I hope more people who feel they’re leftists begin to realize that genuinely hating men AND/OR immediately assuming a man (or someone you perceive as a man) you don’t know is out to harm you is t3rf behavior. This belief will not keep you safe, it’s meant to isolate you and put the marginalized men around you in danger. Hating men will not do shit to the bigoted cishet white men in power, but it’ll tell the marginalized men around you that they aren’t welcome around you. This extends to anyone who looks like cis society’s idea of a man, but isn’t actually one, too - do y’all really think trans people of ANY gender say “okay I’m x gender now” and are immediately treated like that gender by society as a whole? Do you think your fear of anyone with facial hair and a deep voice will stop at dangerous cis men, and that only dangerous cis men have those traits? And I’m specifying DANGEROUS cis men because cis men as a group aren’t inherently dangerous. The way someone looks or identifies says nothing about whether they’re “safe” or not! I thought we fucking learned this!!

Twitter is the worst.

I should really just stop checking that app completely. I love the interesting threads people do, but the fandom reaction to the finale has gotten out of hand imo.

I totally understand having critiques about the finale, but the amount of people getting pissed over the fact that they didn’t get exactly what they wanted and throwing a tantrum over it is honestly pretty upsetting.

I love Sauron and Galadriel’s dynamic, and I would’ve liked more of it this season. But I find it really annoying how many Haladriel Twitter accounts are accusing the showrunners of misogyny and caving to far-right agendas just because they didn’t have Galadriel’s personal arc revolving around her interactions with Sauron. Giving her an arc away from him is literally the exact OPPOSITE of misogyny!

I know shippers are used to lots of other stories caving to far-right hatred, but I think it’s incredibly unfair to be so mean-spirited towards McPayne after everything they’ve done with this show. It may not be going exactly how you wanted, but that doesn’t make them evil.

And it’s especially infuriating to see vicious comments and mockery towards their respective religions. Attacking the lifestyle and beliefs of ANYBODY regardless of whether you personally agree with it or not over a goddamn TELEVISION SHOW is absolutely disgusting and immature. The showrunners haven’t gone out of their way to be harmful, they’ve been kind and respectful the whole time.

I always hope fandom will do better, and it always lets me down. At least the majority of the fans on here seem to be a lot more mature and have actual critiques instead of childish tantrums, because my god is it a cesspool on that bird app.
