very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

i woke up and saw a post from someone saying Deco*27 and fanart of Bunny Hole is inappropriate because Miku is 16, a song about how trying to search for love with sex can be dangerous to someone, something, you know, teenagers are extremely at danger for, so now i am extremely angry

first of all, Miku is a voice bank, shut up, the whole appeal of Miku is how she can be anything for everyone, she sings for those who can compose but can not sing, she is a reflection of the artist, what makes Miku appeal to everyone is how wide of a range of songs she has, talking about anything and everything meaning it WILL connect with someone depending on the composer who is using her, there is no "Miku age", she is anything and everything that current artist wants her to be.

second of all, its easy to advocate for something that can not speak, that cant voice how what you're doing is stupid, i bet it is so easy to feel like you have moral superiority over people because you fight for the rights of something that does not exist, isnt it? i hate people like this, youre so quick to jump into defending voice banks, fictional characters, ideas but when it comes to real children no one cares, no one knows how to properly build a safe place and space for them, how to teach them how to avoid dangers, making fun of them on the internet, treating them like they dont know anything.

to me, people like this are two steps from being a full time conservative, treat children like they dont know anything and hide them from anything they deem inappropriate, instead of providing them guidance and a safe space for any topic is exactly what they do and exactly what they keep stretching the line of to include queer people

everyone is about protecting fictional teenager characters because they cant fight how stupid you are, they wont go out and do exactly the opposite you want them to do because you dont respect them, think they are innocent little babies who cant know about spooky things like sex, oooohhhh, how you think hiding them from the world until they're under a certain threshold of age, depriving them of the ability to express themselves over something theyre just now first experience, the knowledge of how to protect themselves and be safe doing what they want in an actual good manner, because all youre doing is either making dangerous people being their only acceptance and safe space to express themselves when theyre going through puberty and all these new feelings are coming in and they need to express them in some form, making them easy to exploit, or youre delaying this same exact thing for until they're 18, whats the difference of a teenager with no experience and an "adult"? you may think an adult know better but how can they if all you did was deprive them of the learning experience? we all learn from experience, we all need an early safe space to be taught these things and if you didnt, it doesn't matter if youre an adult, you will commit the same mistakes and be just as vulnerable and in the same danger as a teenager, but at that moment you dont care anymore do you?

teenager are not babies, acting like they cant know these things and hide them from it is what leads to exploitation, acting like they cant express themselves sexually when they are at the peak of their puberty and can not control it is making their only accepted place a dangerous one, teenagers are to be respected as people who can know and try things for themselves and your responsibility is to provide them a safe space to do so, even things you are uncomfortable with such as sexual topics, because if you wont, those who want to exploit them will.

headcanon that percy and annabeth have a relationship contract they made after they got together once the war came to pass. they outlined it on paper in percy's bedroom. typed up a final draft using sally's laptop. and printed out and laminated it at the local library on their two month anniversary. and they abide by it like it's the law.

Tim Drake subtly doing the macarena disguised as stretching in the middle of briefings or meetings and waiting to see how long people will notice.

Stretches his hands out, a minute later put his hands on his hips, a few minutes later he rests his hands over his head then a few minutes later puts his hands on his hips to stretch his legs out side to side.

Jason is the only one who notices. He hates it. Steph started it and is actively trying not to bust out in laughter. Bruce thinks Tim needs a chiropractor.

I think it's mean how some people talk about fics on AO3.

'Oh you gotta wade through literal trash to find the good stuff'.

Were you not a beginner once? Did you not write crack fic or self indulgent things for your own entertainment?

Maybe don't speak that way about your fellow fic writers? Just because some fics aren't as polished as others, or involve fetishes and tropes you don't enjoy, or are not the style you want your fics to be doesn't mean they're trash.

It's a horrible thing to say and beginners are going to be discouraged from writing knowing that their fics might be considered trash because they're just starting out.
