I know it's not the point but let people write shitty fanfiction. Let them not understand sex scenes. Let them invent new types of injuries. Let them turn everything to kdrama levels of ridiculously intense. If they're paranoid about writing something bad when they first start, they'll never write anything

it’s a lot of posts that are thinly veiled “NEVER SUGGEST BEING TRANS TO ANYONE” and frankly i’m not gonna bother with interacting but it’s pretty funny that most of the time it’s not-trans women yelling at trans women for thinking someone might be a trans woman

"This character's thematic/pun name makes no sense! Did they pick their theme based on their name, that's so-"
They're trans, they picked it themself.

I think some Usamericans here actually don't know than in most of the world asking "what race are you", especially to a stranger, is considered rude, intrusive, and well, racist.

Summarizing Cale's Coping Mechanism in 3 Words (Meme Edition):
(lol not really no)
But this guy described his coping mechanism in the Sadness Test as:
The way to endure past sadness, loss, and this motherfucking memory…
It was not to stand firm without being shaken up by them. It was okay to be shaken up by these things from time to time.
And:
“I need to do my best from here on.”
He needed to do even better for his friends who had left him first.
A faint smile appeared on Cale’s face. However, nobody frowned after seeing the smile. Everybody could tell that it was a smile that was full of emotions, a bitter smile that appeared after a lot of anguish.
“I will find a way to persist if I keep doing that.”
Cale didn’t know the method of overcoming this memory.
He will simply persist through it for the rest of his life.
—Chapter 719: The Method to Enduring Memories (2)
This guy, who tends to either ignore his problems or make a bigger mess out of them, is so mature in this part. He acknowledged that he can't simply remain stoic and unmoved in his grief. So the next big thing is to acknowledge what he is feeling, do his best and then he can persist through it.
I'm so proud of my boy.

“all identities are valid!! you can wear whatever you want!!!” cool great tell me something. are you normal about trans men who look and dress like regular dudes. are you regular about guys who are not small and effete and playing with femininity. like can you look a dude with stubble and short hair and clothes from the men’s section in the eye and not be weird about it. do you have this power in your heart

those “putting Damian on a team of superhero kids” concepts are cool in theory, but more often than not, they’re really just ways of shitting on him and making him look feral in comparison to “the nice hero kids” who are then tasked with civilizing him as if that’s not inherently racist. even worse is when he’s paired up in a duo with a white goody two shoes (cough Jon and Colin cough). and doubly worse is when there is no intention at all to give Damian character growth, he’s just used as a tool for shipping (this is 99% of the time).
I only read a bit of Gotham Academy, but I fully do see the appeal in having Damian hang with them, and be proper friends with Maps because that’s like one of the rare times another kid is friends with Damian, and they just accept his weirdness and don’t expect him to get fixed or “civilized” for them. or with Maya, in which there was conflict, a resolution, and growth for both sides and she actually helped Damian develop positively without putting him down.

ok one reason I get so pissed off about the way "colonization" is misused in fandom is because it's a reminder that if you have half an idea and care in how the world functions, you can't even escape from that shit in fandom. All you can do is get to engage with it in various other contexts that lack the real-world degree of personal involvement — but not all of it. And that might actually be a good thing, a break from the personal connection and a chance to look at those issues in a different, less glaring light.
Or it would be. If not for all those people that can seemingly recognize that colonization is a "singular evil" when it benefits them, but who will immediately drop the subject or even get angry when it no longer does. And my big issue here is that I'm not just talking about fandom.
Now, I could write a huge essay on this and I probably will, but I've learned I tend to get things done more when I simply release little posts on the subject to gather into one for later. So that's what I'm going to do.
So I'll keep this short and sweet, and say for now, one of many reasons the overbearing misuse of "colonization" in the asoiaf fandom bothers me is because it echoes the same misuse and/or weaponization I see over and over again in real life. I see it when white anglo westerners speak of white Russians, white Latinos, Han Chinese, Arabs, Muslims, Jewish people be they zionist or not, and honestly the list goes on. Even in how European nations and overseas settler states sometimes talk about each other.
The following sentiment is shared by many I know: for a variety of reasons, I do not like it when people from colonial nations use the idea or even the fact that another group has engaged in colonialism as an excuse to be xenophobic. And I especially don't like how that's often the only time people are interested in the concept of colonization.
Probably because I do not like the mindset behind xenophobia, and I especially don't like colonization being trivialized and weaponized, often by beneficiaries of colonization, to support that mindset. And I truly hate how freely and thoughtlessly people do it to the point that it permeates not just real life but even fandom discourse, and how angry people become when you point it out.
