Oh wow. Disney cancelled Willow. Y'know. The. Butch4butch lesbians. Knight and Princess. Fucking amazing rep, brilliant fantasy setting. Fabulous storytelling.

Yeah. I'm not surprised..... I remember seeing a clip weeks before I started it and immediately wondering how long it'd take zo have the confirmation it's cancelled. I'm just so tired. Every. Time. And I mean EVERY time we have sapphic representation on a show, it gets cancelled, censored, or receives massive backlash. I can't name a SINGLE wlw rep (centric!!!) show that wasn't cancelled. Doctor Who, maybe. Wow. One.

I can name at least ten shows that were cancelled off the top of my head. In the last year. I'm tired.

Fuck Disney. Fuck Netflix. Fuck every single person who cancels wlw rep. We constantly hear that our stories don't want to be heard. Thanks. Apparently queer women only matter as a fetishised form of entertainment for men or as a background and side character. Thanks. Definitely does GREAT things for people's self-worth.

Representation matters!

#i'm fucking fuming #i just want to cry #this is making me so mad #but i knew and expected it #Which is the worst of it. I'm so used to this constant bullshit #i couldn't even let myself enjoy the show at first because I just KNEW they'd cancel it #oh as a side note. That's the site where fucking RTD wants to broadcast Doctor Who.#definitely does NOT make me want to watch his stuff any more....#esp when i look at who's writing for it #old white men great diversity rtd #but i digress #fuck disney #fuck netflix #just because. And I'm still bitter about DeadEnd and everything else #again. Thanks for telling us no one wants to see our stories. That they're not PROFITABLE enough.#willow 2022 #willow disney+#willow (2022)
