Eevee's Trash Bin

This isn't at all a new or novel observation, but. Allyship in a fandom space means nothing if you immediately ditch the ally part in favor of equating antiblack rhetoric that makes its way into your favorite show, character interpretation, writer's rooms etc. as fandom drama. This shouldn't have to be said. But it still doesn't seem to be common sense. I guarantee you Black fans and other fans of color who are rightfully upset about very blatant, very ignorant and disrespectful depictions in the media they consume, from creators who have made very clear their extreme lack of respect for nonwhite fans, are a far cry from typical fandom bad faith discourse. Yet I always, always see the complaint anyway of "never being able to please these people." Hey question. Who's "these people". Answer quickly

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Ok but How Do I Do That

I know this sounds like the deranged ramblings of a senile old man but I swear it used to be possible to look up information on the internet

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

as a human my ideal way to die would be something quick and painless in a national park at a very old age. as a bug my ideal way to die would be being accidentally crushed by a little girl playing outside and cried over and buried with a leaf headstone

I love all my main characters equally. *closes closet door to hide the shrine to one character in particular*

IT'S CALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT EMPATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORD YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS COMPASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
