I am so tired. In what sabe world is this something someone feels the need to debunk we already knew they fetishized them with all the lying and whatnot but its so obvious and its honestly disrespectful getting compared to these weird ass bitches when they do shit like this a day after once again admitting they boycott content that doesn't feed them https://twitter.com/dailyjimn/status/1526923789077950464?t=o5-owC2PrJUQ212TtmiGzg&s=19

Clearly this person is... well, a toadlickker. That's what I am calling them from now on or until I come up with a better name. ToadlicKKer. Might add another K if it seems necessary. Peep the profile pic, tells you everything you need to know. I mean look at this shit these folks call romantic:

This person has no idea about LGBTQ+ stuff because this person has no frame of reference. I actually think many people who subscribe to that ship are blatantly homophobic. So why would they know if a family was supportive of their queer son, when they personally would not be? Toadlickkers don't actually think Jungkook and Tae have sex, you realize that, right. They're in it for other, weirder reasons I have neither the time or inclination to work out. And if they DO think they're actually intimate, they convince themselves that Park Jimin, of all the flaming fairy queens in all the land, is hetero.

Like, some weirdos decided Jimin and Seulgi were banging based on this:

OBVIOUSLY that makes them a couple, ignore that guy in the red and the other girl... NO. Just... no. Park Jimin is many things but straight is not one of them.

Sorry, that is a CONFIDENT MAN OF NOT HETERO ORIENTATION. Jimin has also said many times that he and his parents - his dad in particular - are very close. The Parks have often displayed Jungkook's items and photos alongside Jimin's at Magnate. Surely they're AWARE of the Jikook ship, right? If they had an issue maybe they'd... separate the hats?

Guess not. And while I'm on the subject I have never known a father of a straight man to send his straight son flowers as a birthday gift. I'm sure it's done but I have never witnessed it. I have, however, seen dads send their GAY sons flowers. And to have them delivered by the MAKNAE? The youngest, fidgetiest of BTS? That's weird.

It also made Jungkook nervous. Because that was much more significant a gesture on Dad Park's part than some people realize, I think. And Koo did NOT want to screw it up. I MEAN... Why not Namjoon? Why not Taehyung - Jimin's best friend -- or Hobi (his longtime roommate)? WHY JUNGKOOK, MR. PARK? Not like he'd paid for the Parks' birthday party, yet:

Because whether that poster likes it or not some parents love and support not only their LGBTQ+ children, but also their significant others, and THEIR COMMUNITIES. Obviously we can't prove that Mr. or Mrs. Park personally posted that on insta. Maybe so, maybe someone else did. But either way, in a lovely subtle gesture perfectly appropriate for Korea, the Parks showed their support yesterday. If some wild ass ToadlicKKer can't handle it they can just kick rocks like they do every other damn day.

Jungkook's mom doesn't seem to mind, either.

A republican politician trying to get into AO3 board beware!! Don't let her get into the OTW board!

Yeah no thank you, conservatives have been stripping away women rights and LGBTQIA+ rights around the world and now this? Can't we have one nice thing in life? Also her takes with the racism is just 😑🤦‍♀️

This kind of a candidate will be like "well we are concerned about how media affect teens, oh noooo there's 'abusive' stories" next thing you know NSFW and queer fanfic/media will be banned

controversial take but being a longtime ghosts fan over the past few months has just been watching the captain become increasingly more prevalent in tags and fan content to the point where almost no other character’s stories or personalities are explored and usually if they are, it’s in relation to the captain.

I’m gay, a lesbian, and the amount of fanbases I’ve seen fall to mostly straight women and become a whirlpool of one white, conventionally attractive gay man played by a straight man has been so disappointing. the captain is not the only character in ghosts. he is not the deepest or most tragic character in ghosts. it is a found family themed show. we, gay people, do not exist as tragic entertainment to be fetishised. the women in this show are rarely mentioned in comparison to the captain, Kitty had multiple scenes about her abusive sister, is implied to come from a horrific colonialist background and basically came out as asexual in season 5 and nobody talked about it, Mary died in a way that was so horrific they didn’t even show it on camera but havers had five minutes of screen time and he is everything now, apparently.

it’s to the point where you can’t escape it, no matter what tags related to the show you do or don’t follow. I’ve seen it before with the way the good omens fanbase changed from people who respected this incredible story criticising blind faith in religion with queer characters that inherently further that message into people calling them “uwu husbands” or whatever.

I’m not particularly angry, I’m just sad to see that the internet has turned into this again. I love the captain. I love ben, he’s a fantastic actor that I grew up admiring!!! but the captain is not the entire show and I think we need to think about why he takes up like. 85% of fan works.

#people writing entire thousands of word long fics about him and havers from five minutes of screen time #which is normal for fandoms and fine #but why does that not also happen with the other characters???#bbc ghosts #ghosts #six idiots #the captain #homophobia #tbh #the infantilising is wild #themthere

Something that's been bothering me about the Watcher thing, is the accusation that "we expect them to create content for free."

No we don't. We never did. They've never done that-- they've always gotten paid for their work.

Ads, tours, patreon, merch, and other avenues were available that they chose not to take.

They were always getting compensated for their work, the issue is that they decided that they wanted to make money exclusively off us. They didn't just want to get compensated, they needed it to be our money.

And frankly the biggest issue here is how insulting & condescending their approach to this was.

AND AND AND now that we've moved past the initial "are you fucking serious" phase, we've now started delving into things we don't want our money going to anyway. It's not just about gold ice cream, it's about homophobia. It's not about hiring too many employees, its about being dismissed and insulted by the staff/their friends/their family because we have the audacity to simultaneously be poor and have opinions.

This isn't just about the streaming service being an absolutely clown shoes decision, it's about how deeply they've dehumanized their entire fanbase (including those who can afford it and don't mind)

#watcher #watcher entertainment #ghoul boys #i'm back on tumblr again #this pissed me off THAT much #also the fandom is comparing notes now #did you really think we wouldnt talk about steven's homophobia #your fandom is a bunch of broke chronically online gays #how did you think this would go

Please don't use 'gay panic' that way.

A timely reminder to all younger (and non American) writers out there who didn’t live through it that 'Gay Panic' does not mean your hapless gay/bi/pan blorbo is all a flustered and bad at flirting.

It was a legal defense for beating a gay person, sometimes to death, because the perpetrator thought they were being flirted with and that, somehow, sent them into a homicidal panic. It is a horrible horrible part of queer history. And it wasn't that long ago.

So when you tag your fic 'Gay Panic', it does not mean "here is my cute fandom child being a mess", it means this fic has homophobia and possibly someone dying from it. So if that's not what your fic contains, it's not the tag that should be used.

It's okay if you don't know the history! But here's your notice. I wish we could pretend that the phrase is something that could be reclaimed, but we can't. We especially can't with the current attacks on transpeople in the US and UK where we are seeing the term and ethos behind the term coming back.

#disaster gay is right there to use #please #sorry for the dark topic #but it's important #feel free to spread this #cw gay panic #cw homophobia #fandom matters

sam winchester was canonically confirmed to be a bisexual baby boy bottom brat sorry i don’t make the rules

#“sam is straight” did we watch the same show #can’t believe there are still so many people in the fandom who keep saying this #btw i agree that dean is straight but he’s also canonically samsexual <3 #anyways calling sam the straightest character on spn while dean winchester exists is just homophobia #wincest #samdean #sam winchester #spn

Inspired by the trash homophobic conservative poll that was going around recently:

#lotr #overthinkinglotr #tw: homophobia #my theory about these people #is that most of them are Catholics who got into lotr because its a Catholic approved book or w/e #but they genuinely don’t know how to interact with a novel unless they’re treating it as a Bible #and don’t know how to interact with fandom unless they’re treating it as a congregation #and don’t know how to interact with an author unless they’re treating him like God #and it’s obnoxious #this is a fandom not Sunday school #the point of art in conversation and communication #not mindless submission to authority

All those "stop shipping male characters together we need to ALLOW men to BE AFFECTIONATE without being ACCUSED OF BEING GAY" posts have me double-checking that I haven't time-traveled back 10 to 15 fucking years. Who the fuck are you, Joe Russo? Most of the ships in question literally are platonic in canon. There is not a dearth of representation for straight male friendships in real life media. You're recycling the homophobic arguments word-for-word from the years when major fic archives proudly advertised that slash was banned, and you are not progressive for doing so.

I find it ironic that people love to talk about Billy Hargrove having internalized homophobia despite the fact that homophobic Billy is only a fanon trait, meanwhile Steve Harrington used queer as an insult against Jonathan Byers and yet folks wanna act like he's the most ally to ever ally (or even pretend he was never homophobic to begin with) just because he wasn't still a dick to Robin when she came out to him.

Y'all can have whatever headcanons you want, but the canon truth is that between Billy and Steve, only one of them got a homophobic insult slung at them but never slung it back, and it wasn't Steve.

#fandom wank #billy hargrove #steve harrington #homophobia mention #reminds me of the time that i read a review of 'rebel robin' by a billy anti that wanted him to be homophobic to robin #despite him not even being *in* hawkins yet #like first of all why do you *want* a character you like to experience bigotry?#it's one thing to prepare yourself for it but to be *disappointed* it didn't happen is kinda fucked up imo #some folks just want more reasons to feel justified in hating a character instead of just being like 'i don't vibe with them'

"Fandom is just for fun/escapism" means there's no quality threshold to meet to be allowed to contribute, and it is generally a space to share a common love for something rather than spend time hating.

It does NOT mean "everyone gets to publicly say, write and draw absolutely anything and be free from criticism, nothing can possibly have ties to real life harmful ideas and reinforce them, nothing should be taken seriously, everyone turns their brain off and analyzing fan content is pointless", especially since that attitude will automatically allow bigoted content to flourish and will push marginalized people out of fan spaces, or at the very least make those spaces hostile and put them in a position where they have to argue with the bigots empowered by that attitude. If it’s escapism, then make it an escapism that’s accessible to most people, which means being mindful of the consequences of the content put out, or else you’re just creating more spaces minorities are excluded from

#havvingg been in the sw fandomone of the biggest ways bigotry snakes in fanworks #is by people closing their eyes annd pretending it's not important to think critically #Sam speaks #*having * fandom one #fandom is for everyone #this goes for #fandom racism #fandom misogyny #and homophobia #like you can have fun without turning brainless #doing gender roles 2.0 on gay men isn’t progressive sorryyyyyy

Remember when MTV had Tyler and Dylan do this to get voted for a Teen Choice award????

And yet sone of y'all say Sterek wasn't baited. Just admit you're homophobic and hate that people just wanted to be represented on screen

everyone shut up!! I'm thinking about how Hannibal wants to outdo and put up his middle finger at the Catholic Christian god because he feels that God is playing a cruel and unfair game with his life, and giving him horrible trials he didn't deserve,

and I'm thinking about how he's gay,

and I'm thinking about how I felt when I was 11 and realized I was queer for the first time in the deep south bible belt where I was raised Christian and went to church twice a week.

#imagine you feel like God hates you for some reason and you know all the things about God and also your queer #you'd really feel like god was shitting on you in specific #I should know #and then you eventually embrace it and say actually I'm gonna be me fuck you #and he did #godddddddddd #it's the constant guilt and then the spitefull I'm gonna do it anyways which still leaves you feeling that you did something wrong #hannibal #it’s 7:05 in baltimore marylin baby #hannibal fandom #Hannibal lecter #internalized homophobia #Catholic guilt #Hannibal nbc #hannibal meta

I always find it funny when I see a homophobic WoF fan. How do you even do the mental gymnastics to be in a fandom where there are not only so many canon queer characters, but an infinite supply of headcanons and queer ships. Buddy, you're in the Gay Dragons fandom, how do you still "not agree" with their existence?

#I know very well that they're kids who come from Christian backgrounds and probably have only listened to the word from their parents #But still like...sweetheart you're in the Homosexual Reptiles fandom. How do you even survive?#wof #wings of fire #tw: homophobia #sp-rambles
