supernovas are pretty but also very violent

But anime and video game boob jiggling is like. The most uncanny valley shit I've ever seen nine times out of ten. You would think people this horny about tits would have actually looked at some but I guess not.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

Fandom Problem #15,120:

The blackwashing of Asian characters.

Entire cast of Asian characters and yet more often than not when there is fanart at least one of them is suddenly much darker than they are in canon.

Even happens when in the cast there is only one Asian character among of other ethnicities within the cast. They are also the one who always gets made darker than they are.

Zine piece for abyssal blue (@/luckaezine on Twitter)

Fandom Problem #14,180:

When fans won't even entertain the idea of bisexuality.

Character A is obviously a lesbian! Why are we shipping her with men in (insert year).

Because she has shown canon attraction to men. Like she legit got horny looking at a man. If you ship her with a woman, her being bisexual doesn't lessen her attraction to women.

Or Ew why are you shipping Character B with a man? He is in a relationship with a woman!

He can be bisexual. Him ending up with a man doesn't invalidate his past relationships with women or mean that he never was attracted to women.

Bi and pansexuality are valid.

Let’s call it The Great Chaste Lie of the Plucky Heroine. “Oh, my, I’m not getting anything out of this fantasy of being buried deep within the bosom of shared manhood! I derive neither aesthetic nor sexual pleasure from the particular form of binding this fantasy requires, nor in adopting a masculine affect, nor from the thrill of being ‘discovered’ and punished, nor from the idea in being tutored and quizzed in the manly arts by a gruff, lantern-jawed paragon of masculinity! No, this is only to avoid detection/find an outlet for my period-inappropriate determination/prove that I’m not like other girls. Purely opportunistic, nothing erotically charged about our big-brother-little-brother, Mister-I’ll-make-a-man-out-of-you vibe, no sirree.”

Highly recommend reading it, it includes quotes from vintage trans-homoerotic romance books and they are Very Very Good.

"The Transgender Craze Seducing Our [Sons]"; or, All the Trans Guys Are Just Dating Each Other

which is a tongue-in-cheek but very serious response to the garbage "irreversible damage" book and basically sums up as "a lot of future trans guys start out with wanting to fuck other trans guys and realise they can just... become the thing they think is Hot" which links really well with Lou Sullivan's documentations

Why shouldn’t trans- ness be transmissible or contagious? Why can’t the erotic be a site of producing trans identity or practices? [...] We also assert that it is worth asking what happens when trans boys or men (or bois or boiz or guys or mascs or whatever) have sex with each other. We have seen how transphobic interpretations of proto-trans masculine sexualities are increasingly part of a “feminist” rhetoric that vilifies trans masculinity for its supposedly transmissible character. Instead we argue that these projections reveal the richness of t4t erotic possiblity that undergirds trans masculine transition narratives.
