A hoodie with the phrase “if I have to tell you to stop saying slurs then we already have a problem“ written on the back in pretty calligraphy to singlehandedly call out every single person in my class
who up hating pop psychology
I don’t want to ruin what’s just begun and I don’t know what this feeling is
but I want to hold you close forever and ever and just listen to your voice as you talk about schedules or performances or whatever
And I get jealous when you hug someone else or talk to your ex
I don’t even know you that well.
I don’t want to get to know you under the guise of friendship only to spring this on you. I don’t want to hurt you when you’re already down from a breakup. I love you. I want to love you. But I don’t want to complicate things.
I know it’s just a fandom thing but it’s still weird to see a post explicitly about seeing characters as siblings or seeing them as aroace or whatnot and you choosing to derail it and go “BUT I SHIP THEM!!!! DONT PERSECUTE ME UwU!!!” Like bud you’re walking into a club whilst proclaiming you’re against clubs, what are you expecting? Of course we’re going to tell you to leave.
Hi everyone, I made this post today not to post a story. I came on here to speak on something that has been bugging me for months. And that is the 2000% increase in hate crimes targeted towards Asians. These hate crimes range from the disrespect of the elderly to shootings and murder. In the past half a year alone, over 3,800 Anti-Asian incidents have occurred. It hurts my heart to see that racism and xenophobia can lead someone to do such disgusting acts. I myself am not Asian, but I am poc so I know how it feels to be targeted for our culture. It hurts to see the pain and suffering the Asian community is going through due to the xenophobia and racism Covid-19 has instilled within society. These crimes started first towards Chinese people due to the heavily misguided belief that China is the cause of the pandemic. (When it was really America's lack of responsibility and a belief of self-entitlement to not follow government set safety guidelines, but that's a conversation for another day.) But due to misguided racism, this has spread to all Asian ethnic groups. The fact that people decide that they'll blame someone else for their hardships, and then generalize that to a whole race, and then decide to hurt someone due to the fact that you wouldn't fucking wear a mask.
If you listen to Kpop, watch anime, read manga/bl, watch k-dramas, eat Asian cuisine, or buy Asian-made products please speak on this. If you are gonna consume the products of Asia, then speak on the pain their people are going through right now. Even if you canf donate, or volunteer for anything, speaking on it helps just as much. Speak on it, please.
(If there is anyone Asian who sees something that I said wrong, please correct me.)
thinking about the Trans teen who was murdered by his classmates not too long ago, who was referred to as “they” and “she” in every news outlet to downplay his identity.
The reason we don’t show up is because we’re “delusional women” according to the people MAKING THE STATISTICS.
its the same reason the 40% statistic for cops isn’t accurate and that’s because it only observed REPORTED accounts.
Hey, if you’re saying that transandrophobia isn’t real because trans men aren’t as oppressed as other trans people
And your evidence is that there aren’t as many trans men in history and that trans men don’t show up in public statistics as much
I need you to sit down, and think very very hard about why a population that consists of people who are considered to be women, property, barely not children, would not show up in statistics as trans men
Concept: a quiet horror novel, all lowercase letters and the characters are physically unable to shout or scream
I am personally annoyed at the fans who take Garretts words as gospel...
Like sure it's fun to have him "confirm" characters as queer,but his word isn't god's, he's just one of the many people who worked on the project, albeit more popular.
G1 as we know it is dead,why can't we focus on the actual cannon representation we have in g3? Like,the infighting is so fucking nasty and for what? So you could be a little louder about your own headcannon and gatekeep and harass those who don't fit it?
Ugh the fandom is annoying sometimes istg
Also say it with me now: Ryan and Shane are not rich. Before the 2000'z, the average middle class US american would be able to afford a home, two cars, and a 1 or 2 vacations trips. Almost no body in america can reach that nowadays. You're either hitting the bar (barely grazing), trying to hit it but never getting to, or you were born above the bar. Ryan lived with two room mates until a year go where he now lives in an apartment with his wife and dog in LA. He's in his early thirties. Shane Madej is nearing forty and lives in an apartment in LA with his wife, owns one self proclaimed shitty car. These men aren't fucking Jeff Bezos. You're closer to them in income than they are to Taylor Swift. Which in other words, closer than not. We are not being taken advantage of. Capitalism just sucks. Piracy still exists. And you're a bad ass bitch okay? So lets all chill
Friendly reminders to cis fanfic writers that afab≠woman
Afab means assigned female at birth so this includes/can include cis women, trans men, transmasc people, nonbinary people, and intersex people.
If you’re making a fic where the reader is a woman, uses she/her, wears feminine clothing, etc. tag it as fem reader instead.
I’ve been smacked in the face as a trans man by reading fics tagged afab thinking it will be gender neutral, but the reader is actually a woman and I’m disappointed because I was ready for a fic I thought would apply to me.
Have fun writing and make sure you’re tagging your fics properly, ty <3
