it's also like. a lot of these people have made being The Most Progressive Moral Leftist a goal and marker of true social clout. and they have thus made leftism a personality trait rather than a political stance. so you see takes on here (usually from teenagers lmfao) equating leftism with having sex, having friends, going to clubs, not liking "cringey" things, dressing cool, etc while conservatives/liberals are everything But that (i.e liberals are all asexual steven universe fandom moms and conservatives are all straight white men who go to church on sunday)
when the reality is like..... literally anyone can be anything. there are people who you would think are cool and awesome (i.e they're queer, they go to clubs, they have sex, they dress in modern fashion, they have an alternative appearance) and then they open their mouths and it turns out they voted for trump or think the holocaust was fake. there's tay//lor swift fans who went to jail for dodging the draft in israel. and people with fandom blogs who spend every weekend volunteering at their local homeless shelter and rioted during the george floyd protests/riots. or any combination of literally any trait w any political ideology
like you genuinely cannot tell someone's morals or political stances based on their appearance or social activities and it's really weird to conflate the two. it's not a popularity contest ykwim?

Overheard between two teens at the bookstore:
Person 1: oh, oh, that looks just like your guy, um...Ast...Astarion?
Person 2: oh god no stop you're killing me how can you even talk about this to me in public? People can hear you!
Person 1: what, I just thought it looked like ya boi.
Person 2: this is worse than talking to my PARENTS.

The desire to put "big artists dni" in bio because quite often popular artists turn out to be a piece of shit as a person

the whole "we need more content about the non-men" narrative going around on tiktok and twitter is stupid. and im gonna rant
why? because that content is out there. interact with it. there a fics about them, there is fan art, there are edits, and guess what!!!! just like everything about this fandom... they can and do exist in your brain.
another thing. don't complain about it and then when people start creating more content, fail to interact with it. fic writers write what they love, BUT are more motivated when there are people (even just one person) out there that wants to read it.
like... the amount of people i see asking for ships or characters or whatever that they want (which asking/demanding it is another issue) and then ignoring it when it's right there, is actually absurd.
the "problem" is not even a problem. stop acting like it is. you don't sound woke by demanding more attention for women (and then posting primarily about men) you just sound annoying.

Had a really funny anecdotal moment just know but I can't find the words to tell you what happened without either 1: summoning a legion of potentially hostile strangers from a fandom I'm not in to my digital doorstep or 2: unleashing information that's vastly too personal for the scope of this blog. So as always just pretend I said something funny 💖
