supernatural gif battle challenge Ā | Ā bloodiedpalm vs. sassywiinchestersĀ

Addressed more eloquently here, but I find it grimly humorous that tumblrāthe website as a wholeāyells and begs for diverse stories told by diverse creators, and then when they get them, treat them as less than nothing: as someone inviting suffering.Ā
They donāt want a story unless it talks about being LGBTA+ the right way. They donāt want a story unless it talks about race the right way. They donāt want a story unless it talks about being mentally ill the right way.
If you imply thereās more than one way to be and address all of these, you are Bad. Your experiences are invalid and your work is shit and you should die, you hate the communities youāre part of you are terrible we donāt want your stories.
But omg, where are all the diverse creators at? Why donāt we see more of them? We need them! Iād support them! uwu
Thiiiiiis. Thisthisthis. THIS PRECISELY.Ā
Itās a funny self-eating cycle of paradoxes, isnāt it? By its very nature, hardshipāincluding the kinds of hardship that fundie-SJ puritanism uses as criteria for social standingāforces people to adapt creatively, ad hoc, in whatever ways they can, often without the benefit of a script or an existing, known set of best practices. Lack of resources begets a huge variety of approaches as people reinvent the wheel a zillion different ways just to get by. And part of the nature of hardship is also that a lot of those strategies will suck, have less-than-ideal side effects, be effective at solving a problem but wreak havoc in some other area thatās off your radar screen, take a complex and ambivalent stance towards whateverās causing the problem, and generally be messy as fuck.
In other words, whatever life experience makes you qualify to check off an SJ tickybox also multiplies your chances of being highly inconvenient to whoeverās treating it as a single, unified tickybox with PROTECT AT ALL COSTS within the lines and PROBLEMATIC GARBAGE outside them.
(Well, unless youāre able/willing to exploit the fuck out of online-SJās inversion of stigma into the only legitimate source of authority, leverage your tickybox status, and shout down your detractors withĀ āI think you will find that it is youĀ who are problematic!ā Which is itself an adaptive coping strategyāsometimes an appropriate one, often the only effective one to avoid being eaten alive in a subculture gone viciously dysfunctional, but always one that risks taking on the shape of the problems that created it. Messy as fuck.)
Anyway, I suspect that thinking of diversity in terms of how many different boxes you can tick off is directly, causally linked to the fundie-SJ suppressionāeven hatredāof diversity of experiences within those tickyboxes. Because the tickybox approach to representation is tokenism, and if you only get one token representing a groupāone person, one experience, standing in for the whole thingāit leads straight into the construction of aĀ ātextbookā narrative which has to be perfect. A perfect distillation of The [X] Experience, which of course canāt exist. But once the textbook version is out there, other experiences tend to be viewed as imperfectāas problematicāand their messiness is tantamount to a slanderous claim about the entire group.
Or in terms of stereotypes: anything, anything, no matter how true it is to many peopleās lives, no matter whether itās insulting or complimentary, can become a noxious stereotype. Itās not about whether itās true for some people, itās about whether itās treated as The Truth and generalized onto a whole category of people, crowding out or invalidating other narratives. This is why fandomās approach to Problematic Tropes drives me nuts: most of the time, the trendĀ is whatās āproblematicāāthe omnipresence, the way itās used or not used, what that implies in the aggregateāand the individual instances are a far more mixed bag. Some of them exist out of laziness and failure to consider other possibilities, some of them areĀ trying to generalize onto a whole group and sayĀ āthis is what [x] is like,ā a lot of them are merely sayingĀ āthis is a thing that happens and what [x] can sometimes be like.ā (And the really fun ones are goingĀ ābut if [wildly creative and improbable intersection of circumstances], I bet [x] could play out in [weird and unexpected but totally plausible way].ā) If some woman happens to fit a sexist stereotype, it doesnāt mean her existence or stereotypical behavior is sexistāhell, if enough women do something, it will becomeĀ a sexist stereotype sooner or later.
I am talking in vague terms like [x] here because there are SO MANY TICKYBOXES that are subject to puritan-SJ bullshitāwhich ones I have personal cause to be pissed off about is kind of beside the point. But oh, man, can I just say? There is a special place in hell for fandom morality police who make a big show of decrying the culture of shame and silence surrounding sexual violence, then turn around and spew jaw-droppingly caustic bile at women who create noncon fanfiction/fanartācategorically, regardless of approach, any inclusion of the subject matter whatsoever, with occasional magnanimous exceptions for didactic textbook treatments of recoveryācalling them enablers, apologists, propagandists, pinning responsibility for getting other people assaultedĀ on them through the enormity of their contribution to rape culture. (Via⦠marginal and deeply non-normative depictions of rape that pay far more attention to the victimās POV and hold a funhouse mirror up to the anxieties of living under rape culture? Okay, that sounds fake but⦠okay.)Ā And then they go on to demand that those implausible, inconvenient noncon fans whoāve been raped themselves parade their trauma in front of a bloodthirsty audience for judgement on whether itāsĀ āenoughā to write off their unacceptable behavior as the maladjusted coping mechanism of someone whoās too damaged to know better, or whether theyāre articulate and unrepentant enough need a stern lecture on how theyāre monsters whose abuse has turned them into their abusers. Or whether theyāre just lying about being raped to keep Good People from objecting to their sick fantasies.
ā¦.but oh, what a tragic injustice that the amorphous beast called rape culture has made the entire subject so taboo that survivors are ashamed and afraid to talk about their experiences. Dear followers, please join me in working ourselves up into a lather of righteous fury about what the devil the unenlightened heathensĀ the BAD PEOPLE WHO ARE BAD UNLIKE US have wrought, or youāre probably one of Them and should unfollow me and go sit in the corner and think on your sins.
Thatās the version of SJ fundamentalism I find the most unspeakably revoltingāthe reductio ad absurdum of puritan hypocrisyābut itās pretty widespread forĀ the blowback against ādiverseā creators ofĀ āproblematicā works to be orders of magnitude more intense than against clueless majorities. Sure, weāre easier to push aroundāwe care, deeply, and there are usually well-oiled mechanisms in place to silence usābut I think itās more than that. Weāre traitors; we should know better. Itās betrayal.Ā That stereotype-threat anxiety, the fear that weāre using our privileged (ha!) position of credibility to peddle a less-than-ideal take on the subject, that someone whose experience is messy and imperfect will win the game of trump cards and become the token representative of the group and thereāll be no room for anyone elseās stories.
Gosh. How the fuck do you think that would feel?
*slow clap*
It often happens that our real-life experiences fit the same image that our self-declared advocates are trying to dismantle. āWhereās the diversity?āātry under the rug.

Okay, while Iām on a fucking role here:
Fandom is not activism.
Stop condemning and judging people for their fucking ships. What you like to read about does not reflect what you care about, approve of, or want for yourself in real life.
Can people be skeevy about ships? Certainly. Are there fandom trends that reflect the racism and sexism of society at large? Definitely! Does harassing individual fans for what they like help any of that? No.Ā
Promote the ships you like, instead of using them as a stick to beat other people with.Ā
Meanwhile, people have been into fucked up ships forever, and somehow the internet hasnāt burned down in an inferno of abuse apologism.Ā
And do you realise what youāre saying, when you talk about young girls and women being drawn into abusive relationships because of the fic they read, or the art they draw, or the meta they write? Ā
Youāre telling them itās their fault.

Apparently, after Van Nuys, I suddenly appeared, bloody and unconscious, on a shrimping boat off Delacroix. Iām told it upset the sailors.
