some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.

reminiscing about fandom drama tonight. did i ever tell you guys about the time i played a huge part in making a character more popular and was rewarded for that by a) that character becoming more popular b) people misinterpreting that character c) that character becoming the most HATED motherfucker in the fandom which meant that i Frequently saw people telling that person/fans of that person to die d) people stealing my posts all of the time and c) any time i tried to post outside of my extremely knowledgeable niche for that character I/others were IMMEDIATELY dunked on. also sometimes i was dunked on when posting about my fave character anyway. also my art got referenced by the creator of the character but never shown so im only like 95% sure it was my art being referenced because i was the only one who had posted art of that concept at that point. also now several of my art ideas are being used for that character in modern fanart and im p sure no one has any idea htye originated w me. anyway. crazy times

This is going on my tiny jrwi blog idgaf hi gang y'all get to hear my murderbot casting opinions because I don't wanna bother but I Do wanna talk about it.

Basic issue fandom is pissed about: murderbot is an INCREDIBLY queer and diverse series and is close to a lot of people's hearts because of it (also because it's just a DAMN good series) read murderbot. Anyway Murderbot the Character has been cast to be played by a white man, and fandom is upset.

But I think. The fact that they're upset. Actually makes alexander skarsgård perfect for the role? BECAUSE white cis man is the media default. BECAUSE white cis men are at the top of the patriarchy. BECAUSE. to everyone else. they are the enemy.

Murderbot is a secunit created by a company to stand guard over mining installations and ensure the people working there did their jobs and followed the rules through incredibly horrible positions. Murderbot's literal, actual purpose was to *enforce oppression.* it was a security unit. A cop. And even after it broke free of its govner module (the thing that would punish/kill it if it didnt participate in the system), it did its job for almost four entire years. And I just. God. Do you see it? The patriarchal ideas of aggression and enforcement and disposing those who aren't strong enough (secunits are meant to be disposable) and even being seen as a THREAT. the world of murderbot isn't OUR world. Their world is QUEER. The majority of the cast are non-white (or at least have non-white names). Murderbot, who looks like a man, who looks like an oppressor, makes people *afraid* wherever it goes. That just fucking kills me because I see the same thing happening with masculinity in queer spaces. There's this idea of men and maleness as something abhorrent or undesirable. Trans men attacked, radfems radicalizing around the IDEA of evil penises, butches cast aside, "women and nonbinary" and just. Crazy ass gender essentionalism that's "okay" because it's cast the other way. Murderbot LOOKS like the very picture of a goddamn cop. White and blond and rugged. Full of weapons. Extremely deadly. Literally a tool for the companies who cause all of this bullshit. But. despite that. It's still a person. It looks like an "enemy" it was made to BE an enemy but it's an individual who has made mistakes and fucked up and is MORE than the system it was created to uphold. Sometimes the enemy IS the enemy (the combat unit who kept using the system to hurt others, even when given the option not to), but sometimes it just seems like there's no other way out? There's just. There's a lot. Murderbot broke out of that system because it didn't want to kill people. It was freed from that system because it was so determined to *save* people. It is a good person, but everything about it is steeped with reminders of the system and the cruelties they commit. This is someone who looks like a cis white man and is saying NO to participating in that anymore, even when they're still met with fear by the people they helped to oppress. That's fucking crazy !!! It makes me want to eat glass!!!

Also we've got a white man unironically playing a BELOVED character who has no gender, uses it/its pronouns, is ace, and readily and immediately uses neopronouns for everyone it meets who uses them. Its appearance has no basis on its actual identity, and as a queer person that's what hits as special to me. But also fuckin Suck It default media.

I was thrown off by the casting at first too but. Man. The systemic symbolism won me right the fuck over I'm ngl
