not that i have any intention of making offensive CR content but do they actually get to make dictations like that or is fan content still protected by fair use even if it goes against what CR deam “inappropriate”?
like this is a genuine question I have no idea how this shit works

Your post about the sexual awakening thing with shipping in cr is EXACTLY why I have such an issue when people say beaujes is better than beauyasha because it’d mean jester “”discovers herself and stops comphet”” like.. first of all don’t say that like that’s all actual lesbians are good for. and second of all, as someone’s who’s pan: it didn’t take a relationship with a woman or enby or man or anything for me to figure that out. i could be in a “straight” relationship and figure it out. ffs.
i'm trying real hard to choose my words carefully bc I really honestly do not care what people ship. I'm too old for that shit. I'm just here to make jokes about RPGs and lesbian characters and talk about how I'm a funny sexy genius. like I really don't even care if you don't like B/Y as long as you're not dumb about it. shit, sometimes stuff just doesn't connect and sometimes shit does. I cannot even begin to explain the personal neuroses that have led to me having a soft spot for F/J of all ships. like if people like B/J better than B/Y, fine. I think you're wrong but whatever. keep laughing at my jokes and we'll get along fine. i really ain't that deep.
but the "Beau and Yasha are only getting together bc they're the two lesbians and that's boring" aspect of this ship war, specifically, is so fucking insulting. like god forbid lesbians be attracted to each other. to me, that's more insulting than the "beauyasha is for the straights" bullshit. though honestly I think that's more aimed at trying to make bi women feel insecure than lesbians. like I know I'm gay. lmao don't @ me, but some bi women are sensitive (not a bad thing! I understand why!) to that kinda bullshit posturing. I digress, but that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that I wanna address while I'm being ranty and petty.
idk it just makes me feel fetishized. like women who are confident in their sexual attraction to other women exist to be someone's experiment, when really most of us are too afraid to hit on any one who isn't super confident in their sexuality because of homophobia, and you're right. I didn't consider from the other side, that it's really demeaning to y'all too. like you aint clueless babies who need a big strong lesbian momma to show you the error of your ways. you don't need me to be all sexy and hot and seductive to make y'all come bat for the other team or some other regressive ass stereotypes that the community has been fighting for decades and decades but Tumblr thinks is actually woke.
idk comphet jester theory in general makes me uncomfortable bc that's not what comphet is??? like when I dated a man for four fucking miserable years, I wasn't feeling him up and giggling whenever he flirted with me and all the shit Jester does with Fjord. I was drinking myself to death and taking pills to cope with him touching me and sobbing on the phone to the woman I actually loved and actually wanted to be with about how I felt so broken and heartless. and yeah, my experiences aren't universal, but most lesbians I've talked to who dealt with trying to force themselves to like men would probably agree Jester isn't anything like their experiences either. (also there's the meta-level: Laura literally wanted to do a romance arc with Travis from the get-go so even if she decided Jester was attracted to women, she's still not a lesbian. like you don't have to like FJ or want them to be canon to acknowledge that Jester's attraction to Fjord was always intended as real.)
anyway, people keep being stupid and I keep being funny sexy genius.
