#it’s not us vs them

[imsociallyanxiousgetoverit]

“They say when you unmask, you can never mask again. It’s not true for everybody; which is why I escaped.”

So who’s gonna write a Teen Dystopia novel about what’s being done to so many autistic kids in ABA and schools similar?

Who’s going to talk about what our generation has done and will do to stop the hatred towards us?

Nothing About Us Without Us

Controversial post incoming: fanfic readers aren’t owed fresh content. Fanfic writers aren’t owed comments or kudos.

The internet is a special place. We can all float along in anonymity enjoying the things we love, but no one is obligated to give them to us.

Is finding that perfect fic that you’ve been looking for a sometimes life changing experience? Yes. Chances are you’re going to comment on it.

Is getting that incredibly detailed and thoughtful comment on a chapter you spent hours, maybe days in, incredibly satisfying? Yes. But maybe your writing didn’t change their life. No big deal.

But you are entitled to neither. Be the change you want to see. If you’re an author who isn’t reading and commenting, please sit down about your hits, kudos, comments.

If you’re a reader who isn’t commenting, don’t complain about not finding any good fics in your fandom.

the haters are trying to get me to care about canon. they're trying to get me to only fuck with canon. newsflash you stupid bitch if you are in a fandom space you are consuming fanon. i don't CARE that it's canon that bruce wayne has hit his kids in canon. i make my own world where it's common fucking sense that heroes are good people who would not be abusers. "human flaw" this my ass that motherfucker drives a Batmobile and wears a Batsuit and throws around Batarangs. live in a suspended belief and have fun before you dry up and die a sad raisin of a being

[also i got curious over the name of their actual color, since ive seen the name maroon thrown around, but that didnt seem too accurate to me... turns out, their color is sienna! so thats what ill be calling them, personally :3]

idk, i just feel like if your primary argument against transandrophobia/antitransmasculinity theory is that you think it's transmisogynistic you're not being intellectually honest. who does it hurt when trans men and mascs coin a term to describe the intersection of transphobia and sexism as it most frequently affects them? because it does hurt trans men when they're told that they're not entitled to speak on the discrimination they themselves face.

what I'm hearing from people who oppose the antitransmasculinity movement is that transmisogyny is when trans men talk about their problems 👍, but obviously that's not true. i know that's not true. you know that's not true. so then what is the issue? genuinely, enlighten me. you want trans men to shut up and listen? I'm listening.

Rewatching The Box, Victim seemed a bit too calm about the whole beating up a god like entity, almost as if he had practise before...

So here is my scuffed design of TDL under captivity of Rocket corp

Who else is a better practise of how to beat up TCO than his equal, TDL?

The Ryoko Kui interview's reception is such a disaster over a pretty normal (yet still flawed) interview between a non-Japanese fan and Japanese artistic. This is discourse for discourse's sake, and it's no surprise that almost every Twitter user I've looked at who's using this interview to parade Kui around as a goated mangaka standing strong against Western ideology is anti-trans.

Like, I do think the interview was kinda wonky with its focus on fandom culture, which Kui clearly didn't have much interest in. But sometimes that happens. Sometimes interactions between two people, especially a fan and a creator, two people who view and interact with a piece of media in completely opposite perspectives, don't click. Does this really need to get blown up into a "West vs. East culture war" issue.

Anyways, Kui saying "I don't consider my audience's interpretations when writing. I leave it to their imaginations, but I have my own read on things too" is the healthiest, most normal thing an artist/writer who wants a non-parasocial audience could say. Artists and writers use this line all the time. If Kui didn't enjoy autistic Laius or Farcille headcanons, she would have probably voiced/signalled her discomfort, like she did on the topic of Senshi fanservice. Overall, Kui handled the interview really well. Props to her to sticking to her guns and keeping a healthy disconnect from the fandom. While I think the interviewer could've/should've been more tactful and restrained, the flaws in their questions is not a symptom of the woke mind virus trying to wriggle its way into the pure Japanese psyche. It's the sign of an over-eager fan who sees a piece of fiction differently than its creator.
