I think it really says a lot when people say "fandom is supposed to be fun" and roll their eyes when racism is being brought up because they see it as a nothing burger. I think it really says a lot when the extremely valid complaints and concerns from fans of color are grouped with other unnecessary fandom drama and swept aside. I think it really says a lot when people think fans of color being angry are being aggressive and are ruining the fandom experience. I think it really says a lot that fans of color notice this pattern of behavior and are always told "it's not that deep."

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

the existence of uncanny valley would suggest there is also a canny mountain

more than anything i want a world where a trans girl realizing she is a trans girl faces zero fear from that realization and subsequent coming out. Where she can say "Oh sweet, I can just be a girl? Sign me up!", no worrying if shes girl enough, no worrying if society will accept her, no worrying if she'll be an attractive girl as she transitions, no worrying at all in any way shape or form.

happy decade to the horrible beast i have wrought

When I say women should have higher standards for how they're treated, this is exactly what I mean. At the first insult? Kick. Him. To. The. Curb.
