Welcome to Fandom Hell

I’m a simple woman… I hear Butter-Fly and I cry.

yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric

hey, listen, I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think this one is capitalism’s fault. I really don’t think capitalism is responsible for the general concept of social ostracism. We can’t just use capitalism to mean “bad thing-ism” we gotta remember that some words mean things

I think this one is capitalism *and* colonialism.

colonialism also didn't invent social ostracism I'm sorry

I feel like capitalism is at least partially responsible for how whether or not you're 'likeable' enough to be employed dictates whether or not you have a roof over your head or food in the fridge. Like, yeah social ostracism isn't new or unique to capitalism, but I do think modern capitalism in particular has simplified the line between 'how others perceive you' and 'how likely you are to be/become homeless/arrested/institutionalised/fired/killed 'in self defence'/deported/etc'

This wasn't just a thing in Spain. It was a thing in all societies where witchcraft was seen as a crime. In England, for example, the majority of people persecuted for witchcraft were old, poor widows who relied on their neighbours' charity, and those neighbours resented those women for asking for a jug of milk or a few offcuts of fat or pieces of bread. Furthermore in a small society where everyone knows everyone else, being unlike other people is a death sentence. Deviation from the norm WILL be punished, regardless of the system it occurs under.

teeth are the horses of the body

Why is so much adult oriented 2d animation bastard ugly, do they know they don’t have to do that? The characters don’t have to projectile vomit all the time either, but maybe that’s asking too much

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

remember when linguini brought a rat he found back to his apartment and got all embarrassed and was like it’s not much. to the rat

oh man the painting on this drawing is insa- fuck do you mean #minecraft build

change does not come from a place of comfort

I find pennies and nickels in my couch all the time, so I don’t know what you are talking about

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist
