There’s still so much sex negativity in the world. People can have sex negative opinions without even realizing because they’ve grown up in such a repressive and conservative culture. Fandom has always been a place to escape that repressive culture.

THATS OKAY!

Is your ship problematic/immoral

THATS ALSO OKAY!

As long as you keep your fantasies in fiction, no ship is wrong! have fun with fiction! if you think a pairing is cute, go for it!

You are valid! no matter what you ship! ⸜(♡'ᗜ'♡)⸝

Partially it just stresses me out because — what do you expect me to do? I really really really do not choose what characters i obsess over. I’ve tried, partially because of talk like that, but it never works out and i just end up feeling stressed and unfulfilled over something that’s supposed to bring me joy. I like what i like. Do i not obsess over female characters as much because of internalized sexism? I guess it’s a possibility. But scolding people for which characters they write fanfiction about is coming at it from entirely the wrong angle. I understand wanting to see more representation/inclusion, but having people believe writing a fanfic is a moral imperative is the opposite of what we should be going for, right?

An article I wrote to call out the many parallels I saw between the movie's queer representation and themes of demonization, and what I’ve observed as someone with “undesirable” kinks that get me treated as an Other by all the other people society already sees as “freaks”.

🚫 NOT an attempt to “replace” the true theme of the movie or to claim that the writers had “proshippers” in mind when they made it, but merely to add another perspective on top of the canon one, as a queer kinkster myself, because I just felt so intensely seen by this movie.

Full spoilers of the movie within the article! Mind the trigger warnings as well please.
