Airy, Airy, Au Contraire

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

I don't think dust needs to exist personally

idk I can tell that some tumblrinas are not up on fat politics because I see a lot of people saying stuff like “it’s better to be a little fat than waste your life trying to be thin” or like “it’s chic to have a little belly” like okay but there are fat people who are “a lot fat” and have “a lot of belly” which everyone is weirdly silent on all the time. Like the fattest person on earth still deserves to exist in human society with joy and dignity regardless of how they got to that weight or how many health conditions they have as a result of their personal actions…that should be everyone’s baseline here I’m not really sure what’s complicated about it

"Explaining binary search to a cop" should've caught on as a saying tbh.

YOU are a glasses girl. going about with your long hair and such.

I finally finished TNG and am moving onto DS9 and I gotta say I am really struck by the immediate tonal difference, where the TNG pilot is "Horny god wants to put Captain Picard into Situations", and the DS9 pilot is "Captain Sisko is having the Worst Day Of All Time"

I’ve had to stop. I’ll watch the rest later when I’m drunk.

Work with me, but I have a theory that if this episode had been made in the 60s and was an episode of TOS, it would be more or less ok. The aesthetic would be wacky not sheesh, and it would probably be Chekov not Wesley. And Kirk would be laughing and mugging at the authorities. And all the God stuff is pretty par for the course. I’m not saying it would be a classic but it wouldn’t make me want to fold into myself and scream into a cushion.

Sisko would have sorted out this whole business in fifteen minutes.
