#it perpetuates stereotypes

[notfeelingthyaster]

i don't like how the joker movie and other joker representations make him mentally ill and blame his crimes on his ailing mental health (instead of on joker venom which i think it's still comic canon)

[foryoupeko]

The other day, I was going to do a poll to see if I improved anyone's opinion of Peko but then I realized... I don't think I highlight Peko's qualities outside Kuzu/peko

So this is me trying to rectify that

Ok, so let me explain why rebloging posts like these do little to nothing to assure Jews that they’ll be safe around you.

Goyim reblogging this stuff don’t typically listen to Jews (which is apparent because we’ve said stuff like this doesn’t actually do anything to help us many times) about their experiences with antisemitism or listen when Jews try to educate them on things like antisemitic dog whistles or blood libel. Most of them are way more enthusiastic about punching Nazis than they are about showing any compassion to Jews. I’d venture to guess the majority of Jewish people know that often the goyim who reblog this stuff are just out for blood and don’t give a damn about us, because we’ve seen this many times. Not to mention that the desire for a violent revolution that some leftists seem to have has led to Jewish people facing a lot of antisemitism (at their hands). I would bet that some of the people reblogging this act similar to Nazis themselves. I know at the very least the goyim rebloging this don’t listen to Jews because we’ve said many times that this sort of thing doesn’t really do anything to help us, and we’d much rather goyim call out and learn about antisemitism. Overall, it’s just very performative activism, and it’s pretty obvious that the goyim reblogging this are just doing it to try and make themselves look better, and not for the sake of Jews.

OK OK MAKING THIS POST TO ELABORATE ON A SPECIFIC HEADCANON THAT I HAVE THAT I DON'T EVER SEE ANYONE ELSE HAVE ARO ACE RAY STANTZ

I fully stand by Ray being aroace. I feel like a lot of people don't feel this way (possibly, and this is just my assumption so you know, friendly discourse guys) because he is the most openly affectionate member of the team. The only Ghostbuster (from the original team) I've ever seen claimed as aroace is Egon which feels really weird as not only as an autistc person, but also as a gay man in a queer platonic relationship. It's almost like people can't comprehend that an aroace individual could be affectionate. Egon is a more closed off character, and while I head canon him on the ace-spec (as an asexual), I see this happen with so many "rigid" or hyperintelligent characters. Especially characters widely accepted/headcanoned as autistic. And yes, I know there's the whole dream sequence in the first movie. I am well aware (my friend hates that scene lmao). However, the mood slime in the second movie exists and yall still stand by aroace Spengs (and no hate to that! Sexuality is fluid guys!) But maybe an aroace character that is allowed to be affectionate would be nice to see every once and a while!

notice how… everyone mad about this whole situation are not even addressing the racism that quinn is rightfully criticizing in fanon/canon spaces. you do realize that nonwhite and trans people can perpetuate harmful racist and antiblack stereotypes..? why is that fucking point being ignored? it’s driving me crazy. everyone is being so dense about this when the problem to address is RIGHT THERE and no one is looking at it in the eyes

[officialspec]

im gonna need the millennials on here to stop romanticising vine in their criticisms of tiktok i cannot take yall seriously. i know all anyone remembers is Fre Shava Cado but in its heyday vine was one of the worst perpetrators of casual racism in recent history and it rly infuriates me when ppl compare the two as if vine never had any negative impact on the dominant culture. please get better arguments im tired

***THE ACOLYTE SPOILERS***

Oh my god, absolutely FEASTING on fanboy tears tonight as I repeatedly rewatch not only a sexy, well-choreographed and performed fight between an Asian man and an Asian Canadian but also one between a nonbinary person and a woman (who's even playing her character as queer), holy shit!!!

And, like, do you understand what it means to me to have an evil Asian character who's not a racist caricature??? Like yeah, in Star Wars, but also in Western media in general! Also very important to me is that he's ACTUALLY HOT. Asian men never get to be hot on screen in Western media, especially Asian diaspora folks. It's not only shitty in a racist way but also a travesty for hot people enjoyers such as myself!! (And I mean like one of the few times they attempted to give it somewhat of a shot, the role went to a former incel ffs.)

This is also important because Qimir getting to be hot means people are thirsting after him!!! That's an important part of representation people don't talk about enough. Just reading posts and chats where people are seeing him as physically attractive and salivating over his body makes me so emotional??

The casting director, the costumers, and the hair and makeup teams on this production, my god. First Mother Aniseya and now Qimir. They're just casually dropping some of the hottest characters in Star Wars into this show, bless.

People need to start understanding the difference between actually harmful or "bad rep" vs just rough around the edges but still complex and nuanced rep that doesn't quite line up with your own personal experiences or the over-sanitized ideal of what you think "good rep" should be

“how did annabeth ever think nico liked her?? he’s obviously gay”

literally one of the top ways to tell me you do not understand nico di angelo. nico is not a stereotypical flamboyant effeminate gay man. he is very much far from it, and it would be especially strange for him to act anything similar to that for that part of his character arc. nico di angelo hated himself for being gay. he would have rather probably killed a man than admit he liked percy jackson! thus he would probably mask his queerness as much as possible (and wholeheartedly stray from the heteronormative perception of what a gay man is) so he would never be assumed to be one

[bunicate]

maybe media literate isn’t the right word but it’s strange tht ppl think tht fanfiction writers r aiming to represent the general populace or smthn.

not every work of fiction is meant to set an example, or teach a lesson or be some sort of moral compass . I write things I want 2 write. I write things I enjoy . im not gnna write anything abt reader being ‘strong’ ‘independent’ and ‘brazen’ bc im not trying to create feminst literature ! im writing abt sucking big bro and dad dick bcuz im a girl with a very active imagination who needs an outlet 💗

[roses-are-repulsed]

You are not a stereotype for being repulsed. You are not stereotyping any identity for being repulsed. it is not your job as a real living being to be representation for your identity. REAL PEOPLE are not representation. REAL PEOPLE are not stereotypes. REAL PEOPLE cannot perpetuate bad representation or stereotypes by just existing.

Your experiences as a real living person should not be stifled to avoid "generalizing" Or "stereotyping" or "bad representation" or whatever argument people use to try and silence you.

remus john lupin was not muscular and tanned he was skinny and lanky and pale as a ghost. the fact that his chronic illness is being erased in favor of him being a buff top for his “petite twink” boyfriend is so genuinely upsetting and in this essay i will
