anyways i have been busy applying to college (classes start in 5 days!) but how’s everyone doing? what’s goin’ on in the community?

mostly that a lot of the things i personally like are considered “childish” or “juvenile” and how that’s often rooted in misogyny (which, as an afab non-binary person, i have experienced firsthand, especially as a teenager who maintained interest in things from when i was a child)

hell, i’m guilty of thinking that i’m not allowed to talk about the books i read because the genres i like (romantasy lol) are often called childish and juvenile by a majority of people outside of the sphere of people who also enjoy that genre.

people often see things i enjoy (romantasy books, taylor swift’s music, etc) as inferior to other literary genres/music artists/etc, especially because a lot of the people who enjoy those things are women, and god forbid women enjoy things, right? /s

that’s not to say that everyone who enjoys those things are women, but they are often the target audience for those things, and if you aren’t a woman and you enjoy the things i mentioned, there’s also judgement there, too.
