shipping isn't activism

“but a lot of us see ao3 as a safe space to get away from that kind of nasty content” - lol you can see the middle of a busy interstate as a safe space all you want too but that doesn’t mean that you get to walk into the road and scream at all the cars going by that they’re the ones infringing on your safe space either

#so much of is/lam is contextually based on previous earth events #that’s…. the entire point of is/lam #je/sus and moses were previous prophets and muha/mmad was the 'culmination’ of the religious changes #how do you have is/lam without the exodus? how do you have isl/am without roman occupation of pa/lestine? 

#i’m just so ?????????????? #the more i learn about lea/kira the more amazed i am #they complain about vl/d’s representation problems #but the work they’re doing is like #ATROCIOUS tbh #it strikes me as very ignorant white/chris/tian kind of work #'you’re not x ethnicity enough if you don’t look like a '40s cartoon stereotype’ #'your name isn’t ethnic enough for me’ #'religions other than my christianity/christian-influenced atheism are just funny garments and phrases’ 

#and i’m STILL trying to come to terms with them making the alien thief a romani#this is such basic 101 shit #disco horse on robo lion fandom #if it was just 'we mad so we’re making fanon AUs’ i woudn’t care #but the sheer amount of offensive shit they’re cramming into the AU bewilders me #these are people who’ll attack ANYONE who disagrees with them as racist homophobes #and now when it comes to them making content #they turn out to be some of the most racist shit i’ve seen outside of alt-right circles #and they do it all with the fervent belief they’re enlightening the rest of us LMAO 

he’s this really annoying journalist who has a really bad habit of capitalizing on the rabid, misplaced excitement of fans in order to get views and hits. 

so like there was this silly joke in this interview with jeremy shada where shamus asked him “do lance’s milkshakes bring all the boys and ladies to the yard?” and jeremy, as a joke, was like yeah totally. but of course, in order to create hype for himself and get clicks on his article, goes and teases that portion of the interview out of context before it was released because he knew that it would get all the klance/bi!lance stans rabid. and it did. in a rather annoying way. 

then of course he follows that up with his #LanceIsBi article. i’m not going to go into it, but essentially he was talking about the popularity of Bi!Lance in the context of needing more healthy bisexual representation in media while ignoring that most depictions of BiLance tend to be extremely biphobic and solely meant for the sake of building up a pairing and not representing a demographic. if you want to read a more in depth rebuttal of that article i wrote up a little something right around when it came out. 

(he actually reached out to me after i wrote that article and tried to explain his viewpoint and why he wrote it the way he did but if you ask me i wasn’t particularly moved and my opinion on him and that article he wrote still stands). 

sheith content is “yaoi-esque” because it’s about two asian characters? or is it because the asian side of the fandom prefers it to klance?  i guess asian men can’t date each other anymore because it’s too fetishistic sorry guys.
