American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!
Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

PSA for new/younger Undertale fans!
TLDR: Be critical of the content you consume, especially when it pertains to abuse.
I've been noticing a bunch of new faces in the fandom!! I'm super excited to see the fandom revitalized and y'alls new ideas!
However, there's a few things to keep in mind to stay safe (looking at you minors)
While it's not as popular nowadays, when you go through old content, you're gonna stumble across Frans content
For those who aren’t familliar with the term, Frans is the ship name for Frisk/Sans. We could get into the whole debate about the ethics of aging up character and adult/minor pairings, however I'm tired and don't want to
If you want to learn more about that topic, I'd recommend the angry victim’s essay on their experiences as a kid in fandom. Link. TW for pedophilia, S/A, self harm, incest, and general grossness towards kids
Anyways, the issue isnt that a lot of Frans content features unhealthy dynamics and abuse. That’s all fine and dandy, a lot of people process their trauma through fiction. However, frequently in these comics, fics, art, etc, the abuse is framed as romantic and healthy, which isnt super great for people actually in these situations.
Dating someone who’s obsessive, twice your age, and violent isn’t romantic. It’s abuse. When it’s not properly framed or given in the context of being wrong in the real world, people (especially kids) are going to be more vulnerable to being taken advantage of by predators.
If the media you’re consuming is telling you that the unhealthy relationships you’re in are romantic, its gonna be more difficult to escape.
My goal isnt to send a bunch of hate to Frans creators, or acuse them of grooming. I just want young fans to be aware of the real-world dangers of these dynamics.

I interact with a lot of people who don’t have anxiety and related disorders on a day to day basis and I know the joke is that hearing “you’re being insane” when you start going down a rabbit hole can help snap you out of it but I’m gonna be honest. Some of the people that don’t have crippling anxiety or obsessions or intrusive thoughts etc. Are pretty weird.

I just realized that Ed and Stede are just each other's manic pixie dream boys.
Impulsive, have interests that the people around them don't, commitment issues, do wild and dangerous things together.

absolutely disgusting that when i was flipping through news channels, i was seeing Fox News was actively making jokes about palestine, and making fun of the protesters and their stories and protest signs. i’m used to seeing people disagreeing with palestine, but they were straight up making a mockery and a joke about the whole thing going on like it’s not even happening. this is ridiculous and we should not stand for it. fuck Fox News.
