Worm!

the vivid sensory-memory of sucking water out of a washcloth as a child

SO ANNOYINGGG that misogynists weaponize what are in actuality fairly universal impulses and point to them as proof of women’s inherent inferiority. like YES i want to cook a delicious meal for the people i love. because it’s rewarding to nourish people and that actually is not tied to the fact that i am a woman. idiot.

Having grown up w parents who were very pro gender neutral parenting the constant gendering of the new baby gifts industry is honestly distasteful to me. Like this is not in accordance with my traditional family values.

(at a party) yeah dude i have a girlfriend. hang on i think i can show you a pic, she's absolutely gorgeous isn't she? (pulls out my phone and shows you a photo of a nintendo wii)

notice how women never ever get the "what if they're neurodivergent" treatment ever. where were the "before you call that woman in distress a karen, consider she might be having an autistic meltdown!" posts.

I don't have any problem with people reading and writing fanfic, but y'all have GOT to engage with the world through other lenses too. I promise you that your blorbos will still be there after you process that a genocide is going on. It takes negative time to simply not tag your OTP on someone's disability post. Reading fanfic is fun, but it's not praxis and it's not revolutionary. Everything doesn't have to be revolutionary, sometimes a little treat is just a little treat. You can care about two things at once without combining them.

im starting to think fandoms dont like women

Or queer men unless they exist solely to indulge your fetish and not be treated like real people

i was talking about women actually

i feel like I'm seeing more and more she/he he/hers she/hims every day and it makes me so fucking happy . guygirls and girlguys one day we might even get our pronouns on a pin

the reason why i think so many alloromantic people outright refuse the idea of "aromantic subtext" being a legitimate thing is that people view aromanticism as inherently shallow. to a lot of queer fandomites, "aromantic" is what they make the side character they don't really care about, so they don't have to bother coming up with actual analysis of their interpersonal relationships. it sucks, because aromantic narratives in fiction, intentional or otherwise, are worth exploring, analysing, and appreciating.

I will asexual-ify any character I want, I will asexualize characters in ways you've never seen before. I Do Not Care. Your fav is a virgin now. They are unfuckable
