Hello, You! 😁 Let’s talk about something that’s been sitting heavy on my chest this past month… On July 1st, Sony has officially announced that it will stop producing physical discs for new PlayStation games starting in January 2028. According to Sony’s own PlayStation Blog, the decision comes down to “shifting trends in consumer preference”. Existing disc-based games and consoles will still…

Yk I was on a lesbian subreddit earlier and I saw a post from someone confused if the should identify as bisexual or as a lesbian as the like multiple genders not including men. (So bisexual by its actual definition meaning attraction to 2+ genders rather than being attracted to men and women specifically).

And of course labels are supposed to be tools for communication and cultural identification.

Lesbianism has always been diverse in gender expression, presentation, and performance, so this really made me think. My lesbianism has and will always include women genderqueer people (not to be seen as women-lite). Lesbianism as we know it today has a rich history and it’d be factually wrong (and terfy) to say that it is 100% strictly wlw for every lesbian ever. Some lesbians are strictly binary wlw and that’s great. Some other lesbians are nmlnm and that’s also great. Expansive nmlnm lesbians aren’t taking away anything those that are strictly wlw. They both share the experience of not being attracted to men.

I know people seem to hate the term “bisexual lesbian” as the main people to try to claim that are bisexuals that are attracted to both men and women but claim to have a preference for women. As people will always have some minor variations I wouldn’t be bothered by the term if it was use in the way OP referenced if they felt as though they NEED to make that distinction for whatever reason. It may be redundant to some as Lesbianism is historically diverse. I wouldn’t identify with that myself as Lesbian to me fits like a well loved pair of gloves. On the contrary, it may have its uses in scenarios using hyper-specific technical language. I know some people don’t like to use nmlnm for various reasons so it may be an alternative for that. And ultimately I’m not someone to yuck someone’s yum without concern. Plus shit ain’t hurting anyone so have no reason to hate.

I don’t know what it is but lately I feel like there’s been a trend in fandom spaces were people Stan fictional characters the same way people Stan there favorite musician.

I feel like in fandom spaces sometimes people cross the line between being a fan of a character and being a Stan of that character. The way I view it is if you’re a fan of a character then it’s a character you really love and you enjoy consuming media/fan works about them. That being said you are able to acknowledge character flaws and that not everybody needs to love this specific character.

I feel like it turns into Stan territory once a person refuses to acknowledge that their favorite character has any flaws or has done anything wrong at all in the source material. They also believe it’s a morally failing if someone dislikes their favorite character. This I believe is what leads to a majority of nonsensical fights in fandom spaces and leads to toxic behavior like sending death threats to people over fictional characters.

I’m currently into dc and I see this constantly but it definitely happens in other fandom spaces.
