300 Ways to be a Geek or Die Trying

If you can’t criticise Israel without being antisemetic, maybe your issues aren’t with Israel, and maybe you don’t give af of what’s actually happening in Palestine.

Boycotting Disney, Starbucks, McDonalds etc aren’t gonna stop a war. Y’all are daft.

Posting “I stand with” online is not activism. I can’t believe we still have to remind people of this.

If you need your fav celebrity to denounce something that’s happening politically, around the world etc, y’all are daft. Can we normalise getting celebrities to shut the fuck up about issues they don’t understand?

Hollywood is not on the left. They have never been on the left. If you think they are you have not been paying attention.

If your solution to end a war is to dismantle any nation, you’re an idiot. That’s not a solution and it doesn’t create peace. Crack open a history book ffs.

As always, every country uses propaganda tactics of one kind or another to keep their citizens in check. Let’s not attack anyone for not knowing what their country has been doing.

Don’t tell people to do their own research. Unless they know how to vet sources their research will still be biased and be based on Googles SEO and paid promotions - not on facts.

Just because someone sounds smart doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. I mean, can we normalise teaching critical thinking in schools

Some of you may not have heard of him. But he’s real and equally responsible for decisions made.

Kara/Supergirl - the entire first season was her coming out story. It directly and deliberately paralleled a queer coming out making it especially uncomfortable and egregious when Cat tried to force her to reveal herself - and later when she was punished for not coming out by someone who was meant to be a friend.

Say it wil me - no one deserves or has a right to your identity unless you want them too.

Alex: season 2 was her coming out. Woman is queer af. Why this is forgotten is beyond me. She continued to be queer when she wasn’t in a relationship, and continues to be when she isn’t kissing her girlfriend

Kelly: also queer af. The colour of her skin doesn’t change this, but has changed how people talk about the character and Azie who plays her.

Nia: Queer af. Openly and unapologetically trans. Acknowledged in her true identity even by the powers she inherited.

Brainy: coded queer af. He is coded as asexual, someone who wants to be in a relationship but doesn’t necessarily like the touching.

Maggie - queer af

It’s disingenuous to suggest there isn’t any queer rep on the show, or that there is queerbaiting because your fav canon straight character isn’t queer in canon.

Attacking the writers, producers and actors by accusing them/the show of queerbaiting or homophobia is hyperbolic, blantenly incorrect and ignores the actual queer characters on the show.

We have the ability to discuss racism in our home countries. We should be having this discussion. Just because we devoure more US media than our own does not abdicate is of the responsibility at home.

And if you haven’t heard about the oppression in your home country, do some research. It’s there, I promise you.

Do not feed them attention or give them money to feed themselves either.

The reason actors cancel close to the event is because there are attempts to get them to attend. You know how sometimes you have to juggle work meetings, or social events, and you try till the last minute and realise something has gotta give?

This is why a “professional commitments pending” clause. Otherwise actors would never book an event.

You’re also not entitled to see them at one, and they are not obligated to attend

William is one of the boys I like.

It’s not personal if the ship you have created and enjoyed isn’t canon.

She thought is was so obvious that she didn’t feel the need to tell us explicitly.
