y’all won’t be satisfied until you run every black writer off this app and I’m so serious. Yes, I’m being rude to anybody that takes time out of their day to post some dumb ass remarks (a recycled one at that) and uses it to disrespect black writers of any capacity. Sitting up screaming about wanting more representation and the black reader fics being nonexistent but y’all get mad about everything. Yes, I’m cussing y’all out everytime I see it and I’m blocking idc. Free, FREE content that people took time to create, y’all are being nasty about it. We don’t owe y’all grace or kindness. Especially when we can see the hypocrisy. Go to hell with gas undies on and leave us alone. And please write whatever y’all want and fuck these people. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

ngl im fucking terrified of how the fandom will act when the asian ccs get added and they are confronted with asian customs such as honorifics, asian cultural norms, and the language itself (ie words that are common in one language that sounds like a slur in another) and i know most of the fandom will be open and welcoming but idk im probably being way too pessimistic as someone who is asian and has seen the bs that people can spew esp regarding things like stereotypes

if trc was a visual medium and I was a tiktoker i would go insane talking about quiet luxury and how Declan and Adam both fall into this position of people with OBJECTIVELY less money compared to their peers and how both of them are trying to replicate luxury (ie: clothing=persona/identity) to varying levels of success. adam wears old gifts from the ganseys and declan is very clearly called out by other characters to be overcompensating. neither are fully seamless and even though thats not an overt plot point it is DEFINITELY very significant since plenty of their story beats echo each other down to their relationship with ronan, who is a different fashion debate (eg. how punk can you get off of a bank account you dont need to look at and a shaved head which needs to be constantly maintained and a BMW you stole w no repurcussion). again I DO think stief implies fascinating plot points that she doesn't focus on but her display of class and economic variation is very very cool & obviously people w more context of specific USAmerican culture can have this debate better than I can

i’m just so so so tired of netflix claiming that “representation matters” and having an entire collection dedicated to it, only to continuously cancel their shows with queer characters. from julie and the phantoms to i am not okay with this to teenage bounty hunters to the babysitter’s club to everything sucks to first kill, it’s literally sickening to see how much they try to have the representation and get their queer audience invested only to throw it away like it’s nothing. don’t get me wrong, i’m glad that shows like this exist even if it’s for a fleeting moment and i’m glad shows like heartstopper are doing so well, but it becomes so frustrating to get excited over certain representation and having it pulled from under your feet sooner than it began. i can’t help but notice first kill doing better than heartstopper in it’s first week. i can’t help but notice the show with wlw mains getting cancelled after one season and the show with mlm mains getting renewed for two more. i can’t help but notice the show with a latina lead and an interracial mlm couple getting canceled after one season. i can’t help but notice a show that touched on young queer characters and diabetes and mental health getting canceled after two seasons. i’m just tired. i’m so tired and i really do feel like now is the time to cancel your netflix subscription if you haven’t already because there becomes a point where enough is enough and truly from the bottom of my heart i’ve had enough

I’m reading Witch King by Martha Wells, and now that I have read more than one (1) series by this author, I have been suddenly brained with a two-by-four sharpied over with “realizing that I really enjoy novels by Martha Wells because they live in the specific niche created by the intersection of casually and thoroughly queer casts and non-romance storylines”

I am as ever a sucker for non-human main characters struggling with their very human feelings, which is why I jumped on Witch King the moment I saw “the author of Murderbot wrote another book with a main character that’s non-human,” but I live in this dichotomy where I can really enjoy reading queer romances but I don’t really identify with non-ace characters (which is not actually something I figured out how to differentiate until I was Last Week Years Old). so there are lots of books out there that I enjoy reading but it’s comparatively rare for me to read something that feels like it was written For Me and Martha Wells does that very well

anyway, give me more ace it-pronouns human-spliced robot main characters and people-eating demons who consider rank over gender when finding new bodies to inhabit

my one season 4 complaint is Where The Fuck Was Aneesa

the doctor isnt neurodivergent or autistic or adhd or nonbinary or genderqueer or asexual. what the doctor is, is Not From Here

It is always right to call fascists fascists, but I would like to see a bit more...not even caution, quite...awareness that "Bad thing X" is not unique to fascism and/or predates it and manifests in other systems. In both fiction and real life. Someone analyzing the Dune universe called the Great Houses fascist and, my friend, that is feudalism. (Frank Herbert was not the most realistic writer but even he knew better than to pretend a fascist regime could function for thousands of years. This is not to understate the threat of fascism, but part of the threat from that vicious tantrum disguised as a political system is that it is so incredibly unstable. And the reason I think I'm not just being pedantic is that when we call more long-running or "successful" - while still evil - regimes or philosophies fascist, we are giving fascism credit it very much does not deserve! We're also missing how bigotries and pathologies are much more widespread and can even appear in our own preferred political projects.)

Sometimes the word people are looking for is "authoritarian," and once again I'm pointing to researcher Bob Altemeyer's free ebook on the topic, available on his website.

The thing thats consistently bothered me the most in the fallout show is the racism. I would hesitate to recommend it because of that alone. And there was obvious love that the set and prop designers, actors, costume department, and even maybe the writers put into the show! There are themes and characters in fallout that i'm certain would resonate with fans of color!

It KILLS me that so many of the fallout entries are damn well unplayable/watchable in this regard because the writers simply Don't Care how the people in their work are presented. That this like hugely popular world with a lot of worldbuilding and thought behind it does such wrong to so many people, fans and otherwise, that you cannot find any game in the series that does it right or well. It alienates a lot of people who might've been fans just because the majority white creators and fanbase don't give a shit, and I'm sick of it.

it's not enough to say "in the fallout in my head that racism doesn't happen," you actually have to put some things into PRACTICE. Allow space in your head, your games/show, your fan spaces for people of color! notice and say something when you see racism coming from media, yourself, and others!

the thing about autistic izzy for me is that he isnt that uwu soft romanticised type of autistic. hes brash, he doesnt know how to process his emotions, hes constantly on the verge of being overstimulated- if things arent done the way he expects them to be done, if his routine is fucked with hes going to lose it

no bc like. we get a queer show. we get a queer show and it's openly queer. the whole thing. the entire fucking thing. no coding. just straight up queer. and not just gay men. it's not just white gay men.

like.

it's so insane to me this show exists. that we're allowed this. i can't... it almost feels too good to be true. and i've watched it, so it is true. i know it is true i have seen it all with my own eyes.

but i'm so starved for any basic fucking thing that. i just. wow. nonbinary person? ethical non-monogamy? i got? i got to see that? and it's not a bad thing it's not made fun of?

god.

i just... it's so wild that something so simple just can't feel real because nobody else will allow something like this to air.
