Amphibious Thing

the internet really allows everyone to be a critic which isn’t inherently a bad thing but a lot of people don’t understand the difference between thoughtful critique and just like personal taste

a good 90% of complaints about queer media is just people watching genres they don't enjoy and not enjoying that genre

I also think that because so much of the debate is about how Asperger treated his autistic patients sometimes people forget to consider how badly he treated all his patients most of whom were not autistic.

The thing about the Hans Asperger debate is that even if he wasn’t aware of the euthanasia program at Am Spiegelgrund he was still a eugenicist who spread harmful ableist ideas.

marriage is a flawed institution and same-sex couples deserve the same access to legal marriage as opposite-sex couples are two statements that are not contradictory in the slightest

the fact that people use the term “problematic” to describe both fiction that’s bigoted, fiction that’s made by someone who’s done/said something horrible and fiction that simply includes dark themes is really annoying actually

I think my issue with a lot of Pride Month queer history content is that there is this desire to make queer history more palatable and I don’t fuck with that.

anyway I think that we should celebrate d'Eon for manipulating and blackmailing the King of France into affirming her gender and also buying her a whole new wardrobe of women's clothes

I understand why people want to frame it as d’Eon petitioned to have her legal sex changed but that’s a really misleading way of describing what actually happened. She did not ask the King to change her legal sex. She tricked him into doing it. Louis XVI was not a trans ally.

I do think the phenomenon of people using they/them pronouns for d'Eon but then using "le" and "chevalier" has more to do with people not knowing French than anything else but there is just something about using gender neutral language in English but then defaulting to masculine in French thats..

when you have any kind of food allergy or intolerance there will always be that person who treats you like a kid trying to get out of eating their veggies

It’s really interesting that people still read the babydoll cut as a child silhouette when at this point it has a long history in women’s fashion and isn’t a standard cut in girls fashion.
