the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex favorable but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why

PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle

what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.

Also being overweight is almost always a symptom, not a cause. Even when it is a contributing factor in another condition it’s not like people choose it, generally speaking.

fatphobia affects men and nonbinary people too. a lot of people frame fatphobia as if it’s a byproduct of misogyny but its not, it is a unique form of oppression separate from misogyny. misogyny makes fatphobia worse, of course, but all fat people are still affected by it
