why are sun bears like…that?

like what

“who ARE you” 

and he will continue to fuck unless we find a way to stop him

i predict that when love, simon comes out a bunch of people on here are going to be bending over backwards to find parts of it that are “cringey” or not 100% in line with our 2018 views on gender and sexual politics, but like, that’s sorta the point? It’s a teen coming-of-age movie. That genre is by very definition cringey. I grew up with perks of being a wallflower, whip it, and juno. I still love those movies but i’ll be the first to admit that they have certain elements that are cringe-worthy. Even classics like ferris bueller and the breakfast club have their flaws looking back on them as an adult. I imagine love, simon will be just as cringey as the john green books and movies that people fawned over on this website for years. The point is, this isn’t meant to be some cinematic masterpiece that revolutionizes the gay film genre. It’s not going to win any oscars. It’s a bubblegum coming of age movie that’s made for teens, especially gay teens, to enjoy. If you’re a twenty-something and this movie feels juvenile or lacking nuance or silly to you, maybe that’s because it’s not for you. Let it be for the 13-year-old gay and questioning kids who have only ever seen themselves represented as the quirky bestfriend in coming of age narratives before, not the protagonist until now. Let it be for the young gay people who are burnt out on independent, artsy gay tragedies and just want to see themselves in a goofy popcorn flick for once. For all the corny, embarrassing romcoms straight teenagers get, don’t gay teens deserve one too? It’s not that deep. 

I want to adopt him.

But really tho

BITCH ME

wow!

disabled women of color are capable and deserve to be recognized and respected

The immortals are getting bold.

One of those is… Weird Al…

Weird Al has barely aged since the 90s, why is anyone surprised he’s immortal

people with mental illness doesn’t always look like soft spoken skinny white girls there are mentally ill people who are large who stutter who can’t form sentences “correctly” who are always drooling who constantly shake who have bad skin who shout who aren’t white who are mean who are angry who are physically disabled who dont/cant talk who you can’t understand who scare you who are what you consider to be “ugly” and that doesn’t make them any less fucking valid or less worthy of your support, respect, and activism
