#Gay Oppression

[wishfulsketching]

This is what the dynamic was like

[aropride]

sometimes i forget most aro people are aro in the "dont/rarely feel romantic attraction" way because im aro in the "dont/rarely feel romantic attraction and also i think we need to restructure society and probably get rid of marriage" way and i'm deep in the trenches of Thinking about it that i forget that's not like the default position for most people not even for most aros

[juney-blues]

i'm beginning to think you people don't actually know what "intersectionality" means

Remember—in the end, people aren’t remembered because they’re the most important, they get remembered because they wrote on clay tablets when everybody else used degradable materials.

severance yuri enjoyers are an oppressed minority tbh. like where is the devonghabi devongemma hellygemma cobelena devonhellyna content i crave so.

yo yes to all of this.. its truly a lil dire.... and fuck it lets throw cobel/reghabi on the pile now too.. homework for all sev writers/artists/editors seeing this: 1 piece of yuri on my desk stat...

off the top of my head tho right this second heres some yuri content anon:

helena/natalie - come now children of my industry, and know the children of my blood (fucking classicccccc)

cobellyna - stress position (🔥), the devils in the details (unhinged lol)

helly/ms casey - dither fish (truly the sweetest fucking thing in the world and cant wait to reread it w s2 context 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔)

helly/devon - not as different as youd hoped (devon/helly pioneer, i know for a fact this piece has started a chain reaction and more helly/devon is on its way as a result 🥰)

finally, in my gathering, i found this: helena/gemma (i havent read yet but its set in a lesbian bar?? AND THE TITLE IS FROM A MANNEQUIN PUSSY SONG? like idk im sold)

I need someone to explain to me how ppl can ship Zukka and but despise Zutara. Shouldn't you hate Zukka for the same reason you hate Zutara???

I don't knoooow it's giving that you just want to ship two hot guys together 👀

But also I don't see as much hate for Sokka and Azula either as a ship. There's a lot of hypocrisy going on here

[venice-1987]

An annoying phenomenon I've noticed

Alternatively: Whatever you do, don't go onto the TDP reddit

(Alternatively, let people ship things)

Everytime y'all take a character that canonically listen to metal, punk, and alt rock, and hc them as also listening to Taylor Swift, being a Swifty, and making other listen to Taylor Swift, an angel loses its wings or something.

As someone who enjoys metal, punk and alt rock, stop. Just stop. Sure, I like a couple of Taylor's songs, but her lyrics and voice hold nothing next to Beast In Black (the singer is gifted by the goddesses) or Rhapsody.

If this is spoilers, you don’t need to answer this but when did Icestar learned that he was trans? Did he ever came out to his clanmates and if yes, were they supportive?

its not spoilers! and tbh not super important either, i think he found out when he was an apprentice, or a young warrior. i could see him coming out at his warrior ceremony tbh. and despite the cats in his clan not liking him much, and being just. generally kinda awful. i do have it in my canon that any queer identities are pretty normalized by this point inthe clans, so they didnt have an issue with him transing his gender, they just hated him for other reasons LOL

[musicalmoritz]

There are some people on here who fully believe it is more progressive to ship a man with a woman than with another man. Like they have convinced themselves they are doing some type of activism by not reading gay fan fiction. I just want us all to be aware of that

[downsouthdyke]

ok but what is this "Hey im queer too" nod y'all talking abt giving to folks in public bc im black and femme and since we dont exist to y'all whenever I smile at some other homos in public they look at me like they think im out of my mind. Y'all turned being gay into an alternative clothing style instead of a marginalized identity so bc im staunchly a long ghetto nail titties out hood bitch im apparently not queer enough to be acknowledged by folks who think queerness means blue hair doc martens despite the fact I only was dating women and now am literally legally married to a woman.

Voltron is so funny cuz why is the team gay wasian twink, latin dl trade, white genderqueer, fat anxious blasian, gaysian masc4masc, and then illegal alien fag hag princess like 2016 really was the year of wokemageddon

[imitor]

im trying to formulate what i want to say and radical queerness is different to radical feminisim but do you see what im putting down. do you see that people weaponise parts of their queerness to target others in the community based on misogyny ?? like are we blind ??

[boag]

Every year I strive to not be aphobic anymore and yet the asexual community simply refuse to ever take a break from being dumb as a bag of rocks and irritating the fuck out of me and everyone

[loki-zen]

Can somebody explain to me what actual concrete implications arise from the question of "are trans women More Oppressed than other trans people?" (/gen)

Because we're sure spending a lot of energy on it and I'm not sure what the purpose of this is when it's obvious that a) all kinds of trans people are pretty damn oppressed and b) transphobia definitely manifests in different ways towards different groups (as well as, at the same time, manifesting in similar ways towards different groups), and it's clearly useful to be able to talk about that, and therefore unhelpful for the vocabulary people might use for it to be rendered unusable by becoming a shibboleth for talking about Who Has It Worse
