#Straight ppl are weird sometimes

[i-thrive-off-of-my-kind]

Okay so the movie element is or has been pushing Clod, the classical straight young guy who’s crushing on an adult woman or just some girl who’s multiple years older than themselves. And this is a common trope, like growing up it was such a common thing for me(a 2010’s kid) to grow up seeing. For multiple reasons,1. Straight people do in fact indoctrinate kids so they feel like being straight is the only normal thing to be( or only thing you can be, so now that children shows have queer representation adults are quite upset) 2. This is another form of, you might have guessed it toxic masculinity, yes, yes I know “how?” You must be thinking and I’m here to tell you that, this is just another way to say that men cannot express their emotions properly(or should express it to kids their age or their parents or well I think you get it). 3.The movie elemental is probably some nostalgia rehash that adult can recognize familiar ideas from while kids can get a new movie experience. However if Clod isn’t some big part of the movie and the people they are trying to excite with their TikTok ads are going to the movie for nothing. But props to them for promoting a healthy relationship with fire boy and water girl but a gender swap au, because from the ads im seeing with just them is cute and nice they do seem to like(or love) each other a lot.

Anyway thanks for reading my rants:D

So in my earlier way that i wrote this it mentioned that (conservative) straight ppl say that gay ppl are indoctrinating kids when through history AND MEDIA representation they’ve been the one “indoctrinating “

Also i saw someone say that water boy is white and fire girl and her family is basically ment to represent Asian immigrants. And I haven’t watch the movie but some have said it is a very good racism allegory so i mean props to them and i really just think that they should show more of that in their trailers instead of the classic character of Clod.

venting in tags about gender n shit (long as hell) (u can comment and talk 2 me as always :3)

I wanna know who of significant influence or number treats bi men like "injured deers". because, if you do hear about bi men at all from any side of the political spectrum, it's almost always about how particularly degenerate, disgusting, evil, and culpable we are. Or in GC online spaces there's a proliferation of just straight up homophobic jokes, rape jokes, etc that are seen as somehow woke and almost no one challenges in any way lol.

PS it's actually really easy to say that heterosexual men are objectively worse by almost anything you could mean by that ranking and that bi men are still an oppressed minority.

i wish the go fandom (or ...even the show) would just abandon whole 'aziraphale hates bepop' thing, it just .. its not that funny + it smells tastes and quacks like racism .. i know hes supposed to be old fashioned and behind the times but i wish like .. specifically Black american art forms werent always the butts of those particular jokes :-) i know its just straight up textual that he doesnt like it, but everytime im reading a fic where 'eugh bepop' is mentioned or one of those clips is included in a compilation of his 'cute' moments i just ..

i am so apathetic to popular male transformers characters, but i have a simple trick to make me care abt them: i turn them into robot women then i suddenly start seeing their appeal

Ppl will really say that the shit u like in fiction is like 1:1 with shit ur ok with in the real world and I genuinely am always so confused on how someone can think that’s a totally true and unnuanced fact about humanity as a whole

[infizero]

every time i so much as think about that scene where light looks at porn magazines while scowling i go into hysterics its genuinely the funniest thing i've ever seen

[griponthenews]

Not necessarily a new take but I dislike it when certain fans take a pair of characters and point at the quiet/clever one and go "they're the autistic one" and then point at the sociable/energetic one and go "they're the adhd one" without actually thinking about it further

clark/reese kind of wbb equivalent of lukabook to me i fear

[the-everqueen]

very weird in any given setting to be known as "the gay one," because i'd really identify as queer but in non-queer spaces that mostly gets reduced to wlw, which in turn generates a whole host of assumptions around my (personal) preferences and politics and (un)desirability, which inevitably has overlaps with my ethnic identity, which may or may not go articulated, and all of these things snowball into "we're about to see if people are real cool about a lot of things real quick"

every once in a while i see an art style thats a lil uncanny valley when drawing the skelebros and i shudder before being forced to realize its almost the exact fucking same as my own style for them

[dykekakashi]

womanhood is such a stressful concept to me tbh and it's like. just soo stressful to me to hang out w women whose identity is very firmly Feminist (Cis) Woman like i'm fully supportive but then it's my turn to speak and i'm just like ... yeah haha. Women! except i feel like a fake bc i'm not rly like. i don't rly see myself in these categories. i honestly just don't think about gender it's so irrelevant to me and it's so stressful that all of the societal scripts just seem to like revolve around these categories

I hate one sided milex theories so bad.......

[woolydemon]

for ppl that know my tf fan lore you would think I'd be ryu/kita pilled since I was blur/bee CEO but actually I was driven by my shock/bee instincts to be drawn to ake/kita instead <- none of these words are in the bible

[shoezuki]

idk how to word it but i feel like nowadays people will see any portrayal of trans people as representation even when they are caricatures that were made on 'man in a dress' troupes and with the intention of demeaning and making fun of trans people. like. saw a post say the 'crossdressing' wolf from the shrek movies was serving or whatever.

NAWT to keep complaining abt the person I'm teaching w this summer but god she so clearly just does Not know how to work w kids who have learning disabilities/behavioral challenges/higher needs/etc or even have like any understanding or compassion for them. like I know it's rlly difficult to know how to act or what to do in those kinds of situations if you've never had any experience w it before but like. there's a basic level of empathy and understanding you can extend to other human beings and she's just SO fucking weird abt certain kids in our class and it's like okay well maybe you shouldn't be in a job working w kids if you're not willing to at least Attempt to understand and work with Every Kid. some of the kids need a lot of extra attention or a different type of interaction but I've never had a """problem""" with them like she says she does. like maybe if you treated them like people instead of "issues" that you have to deal with things would go better for everybody lmao
