"christian characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are atheist" "atheist characters in movies are poorly written because the writers are christian" stop fighting. all human experience is poorly written in movies because the writers are californian

the author’s thinly veiled nothing #notwriting #straightupnotwritingit

it's cool how a cornerstone of queer history that everyone simply must love and appreciate is wildly transmisogynistic, the creator deeply despises trans women, and if one criticizes it in any way twelve thousand TME queers will crawl out of the woodwork to chide you for how "progressive it was for its time" and how "you just need to let people love things" and "really it says something about you that the transmisogynistic caricature made by a known transmisogynist that turns to the camera to say "I am trans" three times is being read as meant to be trans"

i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

i think a new rule of engagement we should have for discourse is that any time someone says "the lesbian community" "the trans community" "the queer community" or something of that ilk you just dead stop the conversation in its tracks until they have successfully explained what group of people they're trying to refer to with this. because there is no such thing as a 'community' that every lesbian, or every trans person, or every queer person automatically belongs to/participates in, and acting like there is, or that we are all otherwise on the same page about which people these 'communities' actually consist of, lets people do a whole lot of lazy generalization that doesn't hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

...we call the queer community a community because we are choosing to band together for safety and support. it is not woke to say "actually its every man for himself! i have nothing in common with the rest of you freaks!"

ok. well is "we" in this instance Every Single Queer Person on the planet, or are you perhaps doing a bit of generalization that won't stand up to being scrutinized. dont you think there could be some benefit to attempting to establish which people have made that choice you're referring to, and whose safety they are prioritizing. because if you have to make the choice to do this, then it categorically doesn't include everyone. and if it categorically doesn't include everyone, then conversation only stands to benefit by clarifying who it does include.

(me ever since I was 12) okay I actually need to get it together now
