nerd shit for nerds

Love scheming morally gray beldaruit not in a ‘disabled people are evil’ way but in an ‘examining the fascinating phenomena of minorities in positions of power who do nothing to change the way they/their identity are discriminated against even though it’s fully within their abilities to do so, in an attempt to keep their power & maintain the goodwill of their oppressors’ kind of way with a solid helping of ‘well intentioned c+ parenting’ and ‘gentle and silly personality with decidedly not gentle and silly morals’ for spice

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

the last bishounen tragically died of old age in captivity today. bishounen once thrived in the 80's-90's but were slowly outcompeted by invasive femboys and twinks. if you know any 40 year old fujoshi who have had a username with "sephiroth" in it since the 90's or a tgirl with a Griffith icon, please reach out and offer support as this news may weigh heavy on them.
