You said Bevchie isn’t harmful, but it seriously is. Unless you were talking about 1990 bevchie I understand, but if you were talking about 2017/19 Bevchie you should reconsider it being a “not harmful” ship. Richie Tozier is a GAY man, not bisexual. He’s ashamed of his sexuality because he DOESNT like girls, not because he likes boys as well as girls. You’re putting a gay man in a straight relationship therefore erasing representation that matters to the fans in this community. Imagine if you were to ship Deena with Simon in fear street, or Ian and Mandy in shameless. That’s the same exact thing. Like I said before, if its 1990 Bevchie it’s fine, but you shouldn’t ship 17/19 bevchie because it’s downright disgusting and quite frankly homophobic. So once again, please reconsider posting about 2017/19 bevchie. This is not supposed to be hate in any way, I’m just trying to inform you about the seriousness doing this, even if it’s just “fictional”

I really like all your incorrect quotes about the losers tho, they never fail to put a smile on my face. Keep it up dude!

Oh yeah for sure, as someone who is queer I in no way want to erase gay representation and was that in no way my intention.

I am usually referring to the 1990 It miniseries considering it’s my favorite form of It media. I realize I did tag that post as It chapter 2, sorry about that, those tags go on virtually all of my posts so they reach the it fandom. My bad.

All of my ships including Richie from the 2016/2017 movies are mlm (majority stozier if I’m completely honest lol).

Sorry for the misunderstanding, thank you for helping me inform about the anti gay eraser

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Men are not inherently Evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Edited the wording on the first point because too many terfs keep thinking I'm their friend.

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

"gooner" is straight up just a weird conservative dogwhistle at this point

"you don't have to transition to be trans": overdone, dull, runs cover for taking away medical care from those who need it

"you don't have to be trans to transition": exciting, poignant, radical perspective on the right to bodily autonomy

no you have to contribute to your fandom if you don't want it to die. most fandoms die because people say 'it's so sad watching the fandom die when the hype dies' without doing anything about it. I'm not saying you have to push out 100k word slow-burn fic, I'm not saying you have to make fan art or gif sets or edits or anything. I'm just saying we as a community should contribute to our fandom if we don't want it to die, and by contributing, I'm talking about giving kudos, commenting on your favorite fics, reblogging your favorite art and just talking about your favorite characters. that's enough to keep a fandom alive. that's the most effective way to keep a fandom alive in my humble opinion.

fandoms die because people stop talking about it, fandoms die because people stop engaging with fan content once the hype is gone. what I'm saying is, mainstream media's hype may be gone, but our fandom can stay alive and thriving if us as a community don't let it die.

Lmao okay 😅

If you don’t like a ship that’s fine but unless it’s harmful there’s no need to comment on it. We like all kinds of ships on this blog :)

fanfic writing culture isn’t “oh dang! I wanted to write about this prompt with this character but someone else already wrote it, so now I can’t”.

fanfic writing culture is always “two cakes is better than one. the more the merrier. there can ever be enough fics of this character with this prompt!”

if you have "cishet men dni" in your bio i, a trans man, will not touch you with a 10 foot pole. i should not be forced to out myself as a trans man just to interact with you. on top of that, cishet men are not inherently evil. stop trying to reinvent bioessentialism with your "girl good, boy bad!" mentality.

[respectissexy]

There are two basic arguments for shutting the fuck up about cishets at Pride.

First: What if a trans kid asks their parents to show their support by attending Pride with them? What if a lesbian can only attend pride if she gets a ride from someone and the only person willing and able to drive her is her straight brother? What if a bi disabled person can't attend a large outdoor event without hands-on assistance from their straight partner? What if someone just wants to bring their fucking friends? What if, contrary to popular tumblr discourse, most queers don't inhabit perfectly pure social bubbles populated only by other queers? What if it's none of your business?

Second and perhaps more important: If you think you can tell that someone is CIS, let alone HET, by LOOKING at them, you are a cop and an idiot.

"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler
