I've thoughts on whether or not venom 3 is queerbaiting. I don't use that phrase lightly, and I definitely wouldn't call the first two venom movies queerbaiting. There are also a few queer-leaning moments for venom and eddie in the film. They absolutely felt more like a cohesive established couple in this one.

But after a day of thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that yes, it's queerbaiting in the most literal sense of the word. The promotions for v3 have been universally gay as shit. Its obvious that the marketing team took a deliberate approach to draw queer audiences to this film, because we're the ones who have allowed the first two films to succeed.

And to be quite frank? It didn't deliver. Was there still queer subtext? Absolutely. But overall the romance aspect between venom and eddie was cut off at the knees. I don't necessarily think it's the fault of the marketing team or even the creators of the movie because the whole thing just stunk of executive meddling chopping of gayer moments for the cutting room floor.

I've gone back and forth on this but in the end, the marketing which was aimed at queer people WAS misleading. So i, personally, consider it queerbaiting.

The Ginny and Georgia fandom can often feel representative of the real world, specifically how certain parent/child relationships end up with the excusing of a parent's sacrifices being hung over the child's head, but never really allowing the child themselves to have their own problems because of it, otherwise they're being "ungrateful". And this rhetoric continuously shines through with how some Georgia fans talk about Ginny. They constantly belittle her and her problems (especially her self harm), call her dramatic for wanting answers from her mother, but never call out Georgia for overstepping Ginny's boundaries and reading her private diary, defending it by saying "Well, she partakes in reckless behavior and she keeps secrets too." Who do you think she learned it from? Like these specific fans will find ways to defend every act Georgia does under the guise of it being a "sacrifice", but can't even do the same for Ginny, a teenager who spent most of her life being uprooted before she could even make a place her home? Who had to deal with her parents' financial struggles (which caused her to be bullied mind you) on top of their tumultuous relationship?

It's also not lost on me how, during that episode where Georgia came to Ginny's therapy session, in which the whole point was to address why Ginny is the way she is, these particular fans sought every opportunity they could to villainize, not only, Ginny but her therapist as well. Especially when the therapist brought up how Georgia, as a white woman, might not be able to fully understand the struggles that her, biracial, daughter might experience/go through (like, what made her think dressing up as Scarlett O'Hara would not sit some type of way with Ginny?). Again, this session was to help Ginny, but these fans, not only, dismiss the very valid racial conversation taking place but fed into Georgia making the situation about herself. This is a big reason why I don't take people seriously when they say that they hate Ginny and criticize everything she does, but love Georgia and are ready to defend everything she does.

okay im glad to see that everyone's getting weird shit in the indyblr and nasblr universe, and here's my hottest take: quite frankly being this entitled to an athlete's personal life and political views is fucking weird

[madaqueue]

how do you say "childe" bcs i read it as "child" or "chilled" 😭😭

CKSKFKDKCKDKFKND it is ‘child’ :33 its like a nickname/title basically (but it’s also why i usually use ajax when im writing because saying ‘i’m going to top childe’ makes my brain . unhappy FKDKFKDKFJD)

ok so i don't personally believe in the 2 states solution (for a myriad of reasons i won't get into now), but why does it seem like everyone who supports it these days is labeled as a zionist? i know why i might think that, but i doubt it's for the same reasons so i'm genuinely asking here

The way people are becoming anti-children nowadays is really sad. And I'm not talking about people not wanting to have kids of their own, that's fine and something that shouldn't be shamed nor up to someone else to debate. No, I'm talking about the people who adamantly hate these little humans for simply existing, wanting to ban them from spaces due to them having emotional reactions that they are still learning to understand (you know, the kind of lessons that everyone had to learn and figure out at one point). It's gotten to the point where I've even seen these types of people genuinely support children being harmed and deny their hurt under the consensus of "Well then maybe they shouldn't be there," in your average public space. Like, imagine thinking hating on children, people who need assistance and guidance, is something to be proud of.

skrunk did you know your marking on shinigami eyes changed from friendly to anti

yeah i've been told. it's bc i reblog stuff about transandrophobia and intersexism and exorsexism and these things are thought to be transmisogynistic (they're not, it's just other people discussing their oppression). if it makes you uncomfortable (which is totally understandable) feel free to search around my blog, but i don't think you'll find anything all that objectionable there

its so mindboggling that people can go “how can you say free palestine if you’re queer” as if the opinions a person has changes the validity of their life??? yall sound real similar to the people saying trans people are a danger to society

[cryptvokeeper]

alright returning from my post-Bacchae tag dive to say that people went “stop oversimplifying Dionysus as just the funny drunk one” and then proceeded to oversimplify him in a new, different way.

I'm gonna be a little quiet on here until after I start playing Dragon Age. I don't want to be spoiled and the urge to click on posts that have DA tags blacklisted is mounting. And just like with Inquisition, I want to go in totally blind.
