Kylo Ren is the Star Wars equivalent of those guys that think they’re the Joker incarnate when they’re instead just a walking talking bunch of red flags. But instead of the Joker, it’s Darth Caedus.

Steve Harrington watches gay porn twice a year just to check if he’s straight. The results remain inconclusive.

Not in to any of this shit but it keeps coming up in my recommended so: The fact Larries claim to be fans of Harry and Louis but treat them both like shit is so fucking disgusting. Like y’all really can’t accept that maybe they’ve not be in a super secret relationship for the last decade and every time they breathe or date someone is a cry for help. The way y’all respond to Olivia as well and the things you say about her are vile. It’s 2021. Being gay doesn’t destroy record sales in a way that would encourage record companies to tell them to stay in the closet, it boost sales. Harry Styles is a popular artist amongst queer people. However, he’s not secretly dating Louis Tomlinson. Y’all need to understand parasocial relationships and calm the fuck down.

My thoughts go out to those that will suffer as domestic violence in the UK increases 38% tonight due to England losing the Euro. They deserve better over a game of football 💜

Also absolutely not delighted to see the TERF Version of that post is still making the rounds and causing enough upset for people to send asks about it. No threats this time tho,,, which is Definitely an improvement.

“Thanks for the lesson, but I don’t need you to tell me who I am” is an inferior version of “Thank you for all your many lessons, Lord Baelish. I will never forget them.”

Writing Characters With Epilepsy

I’ve seen this sort of post for various disabilities before but I’ve never seen one for epilepsy. As an epileptic, it’s really important to me that something like this exists. Particularly as I struggle to read fics with epileptic characters because of the inaccuracies. Anyone else with epilepsy feel free to add on! This also has some first aid notes regarding seizures.

Like, people who identify as Queer know the word is used like a slur. Trust me, we know.

So when we say “queer is a slur” was started by terfs, maybe use some critical thinking and try to understand what we mean. That is, if you actually care about queer people and the damage terfs do, rather that just screaming “queer is a slur!” and ignoring the actual point.

Terfs did not like that queer was reclaimed. End of. This is a fact. Queer was too broad, too accepting, and embraced all the people they wanted gone. And I know y'all exclusionists feel the same but get pissed when we point it out so you deny it, but sit down and listen for a minute.

Queer was the preferred term for poc. For bisexuals. For trans people. For people with multiple identities. It neatly encapsulated everything, and was a friendly community to those who felt thrown under the bus by mainstream LGBT activism. It was a political and social statement, “you treated my like I was different and weird, and guess what? I am and that’s something to be proud of.”

So the response? “You can’t use that word. Its bad. Its a slur.”

And at the time, a lot of people rolled their eyes. Everyone knew why they didn’t like the word and brushed that off. It was fine.

So they started more subtly. “Just so you know this word is very harmful and is a slur so be careful how you use it :))) in case you didn’t know :)))) its a slur :))) friendly reminder :))) for the sake of other people of course :))))” type shit on every post involving the word, including and especially posts simply mentioning self identification.

Always worded in friendly, concerned ways, like the derailment was meant to be nice and considerate, and not about normalizing their rhetoric.

And what happened because of that was a younger generation of community kids growing up with these statements being thrown at them and absorbed on every. Single. Post. That. Mentionioned. Queer.

The result? That same generation of kids cutting it all short, removing the meant-to-be-palatable niceness, to just say “queer is a slur.”

Exactly how it was originally intended. “Queer is a slur.” People drop on posts where young queer people talk about it being a self identifier that actually fits them. “Its a slur,” they comment, with nothing else, on posts they clearly didn’t read past that word, written by people twice their age who had reclaimed it before they were even born.

Its nasty. Its disgusting. It’s plain old bigotry, whether the people saying know it or not. It is a terf tactic, plain and simple.

And no one wants to deny that it is indeed used as a slur (right along with all the rest of our identities.) No one wants to be insensitive and force it on people who haven’t reclaimed it.

But invading queer people’s posts to spit “queer is a slur” is flat out queerphobic. You do the dirty work of terfs, of cis straight oppressors, by saying in one simple sentence: “its a dirty word, there is no pride in it, you haven’t/can’t reclaim(ed) it.”

And regardless of your actual intentions, when you do this, that is EXACTLY what you are communicating and doing.

“Queer is a slur” is a terf movement. Stop fucking supporting terfs just because you want to pretend like it isn’t.
