HUH
well it sucks that the producers forced him to make it straight, but it's very good and encouraging to know that Makoto Shinkai is interested in queer stories. if he had his way, he'd have made a yuri movie!!
Once the pandemic dies down a whole load of nurses are gonna rightfully go on strike demanding compensation + reform for the suffering and risk they have been put through and the public discourse is gonna switch on a dime from 'heroes' to 'selfish crazy unions' just you watch
Mecha pilot with an OnlyFans posting a thirst trap of herself sitting in the overheating cockpit, peeling her jumpsuit away from her sweaty body, right after nailing an enemy mech with a railgun shot at 3000 yards
Fucked up that there are queer leftists who think it's OK to laugh at fat people as long as it's fat men we don't like
Seriously, stop. Unattractiveness (to you) is not a measure of morality, and all mocking it does is hurt your fat friends and allies
I violently hate how people like Yahtzee and the Nostalgia Critic have inculcated in a whole generation of nerds the attitude that the "right" way to approach culture is to try and "beat" it by finding and mocking all the flaws
Let's all remind ourselves of the 19th century proposal for a death pyramid for London that would store 5 million bodies, in order to address the shortage of space in cemeteries at the time
Vintage lesbian art from a French magazine, about a Winter so cold Parisians took to skating on the frozen Seine. The caption says "Are Parisian women becoming thrifty? Seeing much fewer panties this year!”

Given this, probably worth remembering that TERFs including JK Rowling cloak their bigotry in a lot of coded language to make themselves seem innocuous and reasonable to most people. A lot of people won't initially get how bad Rowling's tweet is
I saw people talking about mark hamill liking jk rowling’s tweet so I DMed him (he DMed me back in 2016 so that’s how I was able to) to inform him about it and he deadass responded
The Bocchi the Rock Kikuri spinoff manga is SO good omg. I'm glad the mangaka they gave it to understands exactly what a train wreck of a woman looks like
The reason we're laughing at the himbo ableism take isn't just because it's wrong, it's cause it obviously doesn't stem from observing real harm. It stems from being so painfully online for so long you look at everything through a tumblr-refined, problematic-seeking microscope
People say The Force Awakens was lazy because of how much it copied from A New Hope, but I like the idea that the galaxy fell into fascism, it was defeated, and then one generation later fascism was resurgent again just because everyone got complacent
Non-binary people have always existed. Just because you hadn't heard of us before 2012 on tumblr doesn't mean that's where and when we started existing. We've existed forever, all across the world. There have always been people who've fallen outside of a gender binary
I've been laughing at this for 10 minutes now. Imagine being the poor underpaid VA who has to deliver the line "Gollum. Breeding halls. Now." in that gruff orc voice without cracking the fuck up
plus, really really cool to see him casually acknowledge that non-binary people a) exist, and b) could have a place in his movies. like he brought that up unprompted!! certified ally
People making fun of polyamory is so infuriating tbh, because it's literally so baseless and so unnecessarily mean-spirited and yet you still see it fucking everywhere even in supposedly progressive, leftist and queer spaces
You: What does it mean that you're a non-binary girl?
Me: It means I'm not so much a girl as a vaguely girl-shaped hole in space-time through which the malignant void is seeping in to reality
YOO this is so nice omg. You don't usually see a lot of black characters in manga period, so seeing Sal Jiang depict a black lesbian in her yuri manga, at a dyke bar, getting hit on by Japanese lesbians because she's hot, is extremely cool
The best advice I can give to any newly-out trans people out there really is to just lie your ass off to cis people through your entire transition. Especially to doctors and bureaucrats
as nightmarish as this legislation is, there's something a little bit funny about J*sse S*ngal suddenly realizing that his followers are complete bigots who will support the most reactionary and intrusive laws imaginable in order to maintain conservative gender roles
Youtube in 2006: our platform is for fun stuff! do something cool? got a cute cat? post a video :)
Youtube in 2019: Our platform is for drama channels, highly monetized clickbait, and fascism. We don't like LGBT content. If you don't make us enough money you're banned.
-Asexual people are queer
-Asexuality and sex-repulsion aren't the same thing
-Not all asexuals are sex-repulsed. People who aren't asexual can be sex-repulsed
-Asexual people aren't inherently averse to kink
-Asexual people can have sex and be kinky
Take notes please
"I was a born a boy, but now I'm a girl"
-Boring
-Cliche
-Implies you can be born as a gender
"I'm a girl - at least, ever since The Incident"
-Intriguing
-Ominous
-Makes you sound mysterious and cool
Falsely accusing someone of sexual harassment, faking DMs to do so, doubling down repeatedly, and encouraging others to share with no hint of irony
'haha just an epic shitpost'
I'm so fucking disgusted wtf
Utterly losing my mind over the sequel to That Infamous Zootpia Abortion Comic, in which it's revealed that the rabbit, Judy, has abandoned Nick (who is homophobic) in order to live her truth as a lesbian
I can't believe that My Hero fucking Academia is going yuri now. wtf. "I'll give you my blood for the rest of my life" is a line that goes so fucking hard and it's FROM MHA. this is a glitch in the Matrix I stg
There's something absolutely incredible about a grown adult man looking at a plate of breakfast and thinking 'yes, this is why we must exit a trading bloc'. Truly deserving of psychoanalysis
Literally yes. If you want to use Patreon at any point in the future you should get set up as a creator now, to make sure your account has founder status and you can keep more of your revenue whenever you actually start creating
TERFs: trans women are invading lesbian spaces!
Me and every trans lesbian I know: *too scared to go anywhere near cis lesbians due to insecurity and anxiety about annoying them or not being accepted by them*
This isn't as bad as I'd feared but it's still some grade-A bullshit in action. Needlessly bloating a platform with features no-one wants in order to justify stripping more revenue from creators. It's a shitty trend and this sacrifices the simplicity that made Patreon good
They were doing that as a vehicle for actual jokes, but clearly most of the audience didn't get the message and now we have absolutely garbage like CinemaSins
Seeing a prominent trans person suggest that people are in any way being 'encoraged to transition' doesn't even make me mad, it just makes me feel like I'm receiving a transmission from a different dimension because it's so far removed from any reality I can imagine
whew
So... 'Lite' does fuck all, it's just a monthly tip jar service. 'Pro' is what Patreon is now, but you've got to sacrifice 3% more of your revenue (unless you're a 'founder') in exchange for 'creator-led workshops' and 'priority customer support' (🤮)
Something I really don't think enough of yall understand is that every single trans creator and artist, almost without exception, has been harassed - often extensively - by other trans people who were mad they didn't live up to their standards
You don't have to look cis to be beautiful
You don't have to look cis to be beautiful
You don't have to look cis to be beautiful
You don't have to look cis to be beautiful
Chelsea Manning is going to be released from jail! That's amazing, even if it's only happening on the heels of a tragic self-harm attempt. Hope she gets all the support she needs from now on
Chelsea is free!!!
This is gonna be a thread about the historical links between queer history/culture and kink. Obviously I'm writing this because of current discourse but hopefully instead of directly responding to anyone or anything, this will serve as an educational resource for everyone
I also think of it as a very masculine thing: you try and prove your superiority to a piece of media and its creators by criticising in this way. You don't enjoy the media, you enjoy feeling smug because you righteously dislike it and are better than it and its fans
Trans people are not a new invention of the last 50 years
Trans people have always existed
Trans men have always existed
Trans women have always existed
Non-binary people have always existed
Gender-variant people of many kinds have always existed
Don't erase us from history
I went on the Contrapoints subreddit to see her fanbase's reaction to the latest controversy, and there actually was one thread critical of her that got quite a lot of traction
Until the mods locked it, deleted most comments, and posted 'We do not purity test on this subreddit'
Pretty much having a stroke imagining a 21 year old queer person going up to a 60 year old gay man who lived through the AIDS crisis and telling him 'Excuse me you can't wear your leather at Pride any more'
Riffing on flaws is fun, but a lot of those early internet content producers adopted a persona that suggested they were actually annoyed about all the small flaws and saw them as ruining the media, rather than admitting they were just pointing them out to make jokes
To those calling this fake: I pity you, that you cannot believe in the magical, beautiful things your heart yearns for
To those saying 'a man obviously wrote this, real lesbians don't talk about women this way': perish instantly
I don't understand how there are queer people who don't see that since queer love and queerness is seen as more sexual, more explicit, and less 'safe for work' than any cishet equivalent, policies against sexual content will always, *always* be anti-queer in practice
I'm really thinking about how Suletta is canonically 8 inches taller than Miorine and also a good 20-30% broader. Good for you Mio,,,
Suletta is also one of the tallest protagonists in all of Gundam. She's so transfem coded it's unreal tbh
I LOVE how inherently transhumanist being trans is. It's like, fuck you, I will change my body the way *I* want, with hormones, with surgery, and traditional gender norms can get fucked
I know this is silly, but I love being a girl with a dick partly because it is so "unnatural"
There are communities that really really reward that kind of 'hey I found the problematic' behaviour and if you spend too long in those and not enough in contact with real life, that's the bullshit you end up spouting. Reality and real harm literally don't even enter the equation
That Pro tier is actually such a joke. They're taking 3% more from new creators in exchange for... literally nothing. 'Creator-led workshops'? Nobody wants that. Literally no-one wants your shitty webinars. 'Priority customer support'? What does that even mean?
SIGH. I am really going to need to ask Westerners to stop downplaying the significance of Suletta and Miorine being married oh my god. ESPECIALLY given that Gundam is from a country where gay marriage is not legal and remains a contentious issue in the courts
Supporting non-binary people is actually extremely easy. You just have to take it seriously and not erase concerns that you definitely wouldn't erase if they were raised by binary people about general transphobia. It's not difficult at all. It's just about your attitude
All of this Contra clusterfuck just increases my conviction that I don't want to be 'normal', I don't want to assimilate, I want to be openly trans and openly non-binary always and the other people who feel the same are only ones I can count on to stick with me in that struggle
