I feel like I lived in a different world where Elliot Page came out and the entire internet exploded with pure anger and every single comment I saw was either horrendous transphobia and misgendering from one side and whining disappointment about “losing an openly queer woman” or mocking how “basic” every single decision he made about his presentation was from the other side, only for people on tumblr to claim that trans men are rewarded and celebrated for coming out. Like no the fuck they aren’t. Go into the comment section of a single transmasc teen on Instagram right now and then pay them a billion dollars in compensation.

Any time cis people start stupid as fuck trans label discourse, I think of this image

Hot take but the LGBTQ+ community needs to stop gatekeeping on the basis of labels. No exceptions.

If someone refers to themselves with extremely specific terms like xenogenders, that’s valid. If someone uses really vague blanket terms like “queer,” that’s valid. If someone doesn’t fit the textbook definition of a term like he/him lesbians, that’s valid. If someone is using an older definition of a modern term like mspec gays and lesbians, that’s valid. If someone uses a reclaimed slur, that’s valid.

Gender and sexuality are so complicated and everyone’s own experience is unique. You don’t get to tell someone else what labels they use. If they genuinely use that label, then they personally relate to it to some degree. We need to use some empathy and accept that everyone has different experiences.

I wonder why these two groups have been getting along so well lately

i know i shouldnt be suprised but sinners being out for less than a week and already tumblr is fandomifying and 'poor wet pathetic cat'-ifying the main white man villain of the movie is so... disapointing??? like did the fucking point of the movie really go over your heads that badly or are you just willingly ignorant and stupid?

AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS; im not saying you cant like remmick, he's a very interesting character, a great villain, and jack o'connell gave a great performance playing him, nor do i care if you think hes sexy, I think hes sexy

but i think to come out of a movie where vampires serve as a metaphor for how black american communities have the life sucked out of them by white people via cultural appropriation (remmick wanting to use sammie's gift to summon his own ancestors) and forced assimilation (all the turned vampires singing and dancing along with remmick's irish folk song and dance juxtaposed with the blend of cultures during sammie's song in the juke joint) and for your main take away to be 'aww the main villain is just a misunderstood sadboy' or 'idc abt the atrocities he looked sexy doing them (when the atrocities in question were racism)' then youre just being so disengenuous and antithetical to the whole point of the film?

and dont come at me with the 'let people enjoy things' bullshit, sinners is a movie FUNDAMENTALLY about racism and racial dynamics in the united states, and i do think focusing on your little y/n x [whiteboy of the month] fics and 'hes so babygirl' posts do actually stunt your own critical engagement with the message this movie was trying to convey to its audience

i think its also a disservice to remmick's character; the moral nuance that comes to light when you consider his position as an irish immigrant to the US, a victim of the colonialist british empire just like the black main cast (although in a very different way) and how, whilst his desire to reclaim his ancestry and heritage is understandable and even relatable, his pursuit of sammie and willingness to kill literally everyone else at the juke joint is allegorical for how, regardless of their own marginalisation, white people will prey upon and steal from black culture(s) and destroy/disenfranchise black communities to serve their own interests, and the movie is NOT subtle about this either, delta slim literally lays it out for us "white folks like the blues just fine, they just don't like the people who make them"

idk im yelling into the void here, the ppl im complaining about are never going to give a shit about racism or even just critically engaging with art when theres a new cute whiteboy to write fluff and angst about, but its just soooo annoying to see, yet again, how fandom spaces, which SHOULD be about uplifing and celebrating art in all its diversity and complexity, once again is nothing more than people ignoring anything that actually makes them have to confront reality and filing off the serial numbers to slot characters into pre-determined fanon molds so they can pump out incorrect quotes and coffee shop AUs en masse until the media iliterate heat death of the universe

Sorry about the rant I'm just SO sick of this "we have to be on all the time never look away if you aren't upset about politics and traumatizing yourself watching people die on Twitter you're wrong and complicit and evil" like I know things are fucked and we need to stay angry but we can do that while also taking a minute to crack open a cold one with the boys or have gay sex or get tipsy at the line dance, we HAVE to have joy to remember why the fuck we're refusing to give up in the first place. Fight like hell for your loved ones and then also go home with them to smoke weed and drink sweet tea and make biscuits covered in honey and butter please, please don't deprive yourself of joy, you're allowed to be happy BEFORE the work is done. You're allowed to be happy.

Sapphics who don't like fat girls are so weird to me. You're supposed to like girl. Why wouldn't you want more girl per girl

[cruxcor]

You all need to start annoyingly asking people why they tagged omegaverse fics and bigenital furry porn as "intersex" on certain websites. If everyone collectively got really irritating about this maybe the intersex tag would actually be available to be used for yknow. Fucking intersex people.

[cruxcor]

yo uh idk how else to tell u this but the primary voices u should be listening to in intersexism and intersex issues are intersex voices ok that might be difficult for some of u since ur busy refusing to stop using slurs for intersex ppl making blatantly fetishizing and wildly inaccurate "representation" and telling intersex ppl that they "don't have it that bad" but I'm sure u can fucking soldier on somehow gosh the intersexism in the queer community is rancid
