being a poc sucks because sometimes a movie comes out about discrimination and they'll have The Racist Guy, a character who's clearly meant to embody oppression and prejudice against minorities. and then you open up tumblr and everybody's like omg i could totally fix Racist Guy trust me guys!!! Racist Guy x reader 20k spicy slowburn #canoniswhatimakeit here's a massive gifset for Racist Guy he's just soooooooooooooo hot. you guys look like this

this is almost certainly not a novel take but

i do wonder how much of the derisive language you hear toward "resistlib winemoms" or whatever is just "people who grew up in Safely Blue Coastal Enclaves rebelling against ppl who remind them of their mom b/c they are emotionally stunted adults"

like, as A Child Of A Very Conservative Area, i have a very vivid recollection of the first time i encountered this type of person, and my reaction was mostly baffled delight. wait you're telling me this PTA mom with unassailable Wholesome Americana credentials is gassing up the cause of trans rights at her book club. you're telling me she's batting her eyelashes and "think of the children"-ing, except instead of doing that to promote some obnoxious "ban this book from the school curriculum" agenda, she's shaming her state representative into actually funding the damn schools? i do not care how cringe her UV-bleached "i'm with her" bumper sticker is or whatever, she is working extremely hard & successfully on shit i care about and i will brook no slander against her

dragon kidnapping you and she’s really excited because she’s never done this before and she’s finally an adult so she can kidnap princesses now!

the only problem is her cave isn’t very well stocked for a human visitor, so let her know if you need literally anything, ok? she brought you some snacks and some video games and a bunch of weighted blankets so you’re comfortable until a knight shows up!

AITA for giving my housemate gender dysphoria?

I (32F) recently got a gig as a live in housekeeper for a haunted mansion. I'm like 85% sure the job posting was a scam to try and feed me to the house in order to stave off its eternal hunger for another decade or so. But it pays alright and I don't have to pay rent as long as I'm living here.

One of the ghosts (~250M(?)) possessed my body a few nights ago, but instead of, I don't know, making me climb onto a blaustrade or something, he got real quiet. I don't think he ever possessed a trans woman before and he just kinda spent the whole night staring at my hrt pill bottles.

Since then, he's still been wandering the halls at the stroke of midnight, shattering all the mirrors that mysteriously regenerate by morning, but it seems like his heart hasn't been in it.

(Are the mirrors symbolic of something???)

He (she?) is definitely going through some shit. I don't *think* I did anything wrong, considering he was the one who possessed me, but I still feel really bad about it.

"average rosharan goes throug 3 traumatic events a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average rosharan goes through 0 traumatic events per year. Shallan Davar, who orphaned herself at 16 & goes through over 10,000 traumatic events each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Yeah I just can’t get into male characters. Every time one shows up he’s always just the Male Character to get brownie points and make an obvious epic maleboss so the writer can feel better about themselves. Not to mention they’re always getting in the way of my cute yuri ship. I just rather go focus on women instead. They’re always the more interesting and better written characters than the one random man they decided to shoehorn in.

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

I remember a few years back when "society views trans people as whatever gender can be used to hurt them most in any given moment" was standard trans activism 101. Can we go back to that? Please?

I would 100% still be trans.

Do you ever think about how life would have gone in a world where you were born as the opposite sex?

I don't mean that as egg-ass yearning, I'm trans, but I'm wondering how my particular set of gender issues would have worked out in a world where I was AFAB instead of AMAB.
