AMOTM

when you ask people to stop engaging in harry potter fandom they act like you've asked them to pull the plug on their own ventilator after murdering their entire family in front of them. like holy shit my bad i didn't realise that you formed emotional attachments that were that unhealthy

"but it was my childhood" okay cool you're an adult now "but i love it a lot" okay cool there are other things to love "but it helped me through a hard time" okay cool you can find other ways to cope "but my ship/my character/my fic/my fanart/my--" someone has asked you to stop engaging with a woman's intellectual property because that woman is actively contributing to the literal genocide of trans people in her country and beyond. her actions have emboldened murderers, legislation meant to deny life-saving care, and ruined livelihoods and safety of many people. what could possibly be more fucking important. truly. i get that it's hard to let stuff go, because it is. it's very fucking hard, especially when you love something very deeply. but your personal struggle letting go of a comfort blanket is never as important as someone else's life, and that's the point we are at now, and if you are not listening to the trans people in your life and beyond that are whistleblowing this, you have blood on your hands and i will not help you wash it off when you finally look down and notice it

If HR has turned you to hockey based fictional shows and movies, do NOT let the insensitive nature of The Sticks turn you away from Smudge the Blades premiering at the Toronto Film Festival on September 12th

Björk invented sex i think

yearning for a Boxing Day fight fix-it fic that isn’t just Shane torturing himself because he’s ‘selfish’ and grovelling at Ilya’s feet and instead concentrates on how Ilya put his hands on him because that was absolutely wild even if the narrative waved it away as a-okay.

have you guys ever seen a crocodile with its fingies out

This post breaching containment has taught me that a lot of people seem to think they can accurately profile complete strangers. For the record, no the fuck you can't.

i wish people in fandom spaces wouldn't couch the (alleged) crimes of creators in such vague terms. "Gaiman is controversial right now" NO, Gaiman has been accused of rape by several women. "DC probably won't reprint a lot of 90s green lantern because Gerard Jones is problematic." NO, Gerard Jones was convicted of possession of child pornography. "controversial" and "problematic" do not accurately convey what is going on remotely and if anything play down what these people have done.

J.K. Rowling isn't "controversial", she's funding the genocide of transgender people.
