i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual and then this happened.
anyways. thoughts?
I know some of these characters can be killed but you get my point lol š
When people graffiti on buildings: Yes! Ha ha! Fuck yes!
When people graffiti on rockfaces and cliffsides on hiking trails: What the absolute fuck.
Continuation of my sirens post, and a friendly reminder that batman isnāt on the side of the law, heās on the side of justice
February 16th-22nd is Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.
(ID: an image with a green background, white text says "Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week", black text below says "February 16-22" and "Celebrating the aro spectrum community." The the right are the gray aromantic and aromantic pride flags with photo-like frames.)
I said it in the tags of a post but honestly, I feel like I need to make my own post because while we're doing the whole "stop supporting jkr!" thing I need everyone to remember that not only is she blatantly transphobic (and specifically transmisogynistic), but that she and her books are incredibly racist and antisemitic.
Appropriating Indigenous American cultures for her American wizard school. Making all of the bankers in her books hook-nosed goblins. Naming the ONLY East Asian character in the books "Cho Chang" and putting her in the "smart people house". The way that she treats the Patil Twins, the only two other Asians, and the only South Asians in the series. The way that she treats ALL her characters of color. JKR's racism has always been there. People just seem to gloss over it for some reason and to be honest, I'm getting really frustrated and tired of constantly adding that racism is a problem in the notes of these posts. And this is literally just based on Harry Potter! The rest of her stuff surely has even more problems!
I don't want to downplay her transphobia. That's a huge issue that, I, especially as a trans person, cannot emphasize enough! But as a person of color, I feel like I need to remind y'all that it's just the tip of the iceberg.
I think OP of this post I rbed about JKR's racism specifically against Indigenous Americans put it perfectly. This has made it painfully obvious that people are white before they are queer.
It's not that hard just to acknowledge her racism alongside her transphobia. If you're making a post about her remember that she's shitty in so many other ways, and she's always been shitty.
I know this is long but I'm rambling, so...
tl;dr JKR is racist as well as transphobic. Just acknowledge that in your pleas for people to stop supporting her. Please. It's literally so easy. anyways jkr's a piece of shit and I hope she burns in hell!!
- sincerely, a trans poc who's tired of this shit
Okay so I guess I have tumblr now
Not sure what Iām gonna do with it but whatever I guess?
I have seen Encanto and honestly, same
i haven't seen encanto yet but i have already decided that my favorite characters are the buff lady and the tiny rat man
Actual queer coding / metaphors ("Nimona is trans because her creator made her as a way to express his feelings as a trans person")
Vibes ("Link is genderless because I said so")
It's funny ("Phoenix Wright is asexual because he's the Ace Attorney")
I find it funny that people who live in the lower 48 are all like ābald eagles are so majestic and beautiful, symbols of our nationā whereas up here in Alaska, we talk about them almost like people talk about raccoons or opossums
Like āyeah you can usually see a minimum of 6 or 7 around the dump area because they like to hang out there all day and eat garbageā
Symbols of our nation though they may be, they are still trash-eating birds
On the bright side heās just found one of the spiders Iāve left alive in the bathroom
I know this because he just shrieked so loud Iām sure everyone In the neighborhood thinks someone in this house has just been murdered
My older brother just told me that, basically, since I decided to not work 60 hour weeks on a less-than-minimum-wage-by-a-lot salary, I do Nothing and am Nobody so fuck him and his fucking āIām working so hard all the time, I need you to make me food and do my chores and give me a pass on my dickishnessā bullshit
Everybody in this house is stressed, bitch, dads got a new job that getting COVID could wreck for him, moms sacrificed all her time to an out of the house business making and selling Montessori style works for kids, and my classes, two of which Iām taking at the local college as my first ever college classes, are all behind because of a godamn schedule mishap. None of us are dicks to each other for no reason.
Apologies for the rant, itās 10:00 at night and Iām bitter and angry and stressed the fuck out
I guess I have a tumblr now.Iām probably only gonna use it to look at other stuff sooooooYeah
