Good!! They should have to answer for this behaviour.

Reread/skimmed my oldest Pharma apologism posts (mainly the ones about Pharma not being a functionist) and it just occurred to me that possibly another reason the fandom saddled Pharma with the "functionist bigot" label is because his introduction by First Aid says that everyone hates Decepticons, but Pharma really really hates Decepticons. Mix that with the portion of the fanbase that lionizes and whitewashes the Decepticons, and I can easily see it entering common fanon that "Pharma hates Decepticons -> the Decepticons are freedom fighters wrongly maligned by the Autobots/the franchise -> Pharma must be a bigoted functionist since he hates Decepticons who represent freedom."

The simpler explanation is just that Pharma is an antagonist and therefore gets the "everything about him must be evil and wrong" black-and-white analysis so common in fandoms in general, but given some of the bizarre Decepticon takes I've seen I can also easily see Pharma's Decepticon hatred being taken as a sign of him being bigoted and evil.

Though AGAIN in this case it would still be singling Pharma out as a bigot for crimes/flaws that multiple other Autobots are guilty of like.

Oh, Pharma hates Decepticons? Well a lot of other Autobots hate Decepticons too, First Aid's narration about Pharma even says "we all hate Decepticons"; for that matter, there are a lot of Decepticons who hate Autobots. It's a massive civil war that's lasted for a lifetime causing two groups of people to be stuck in a near-permanent blood feud, you can't assume that every Autobot who hates Decepticons (and vice versa) hates them because they're a bigot. Maybe there's been a war where both sides have been building an ever-increasing mountain of reasons to hate each other, so hating the opposite faction is a social problem caused by war and politics rather than a sign of individual moral failing.

Pharma worked at the New Institute so that means he must be evil/bigoted? Chromedome and Brainstorm also worked at the New Institute, but there's no widespread fandom shunning of them or headcanoning them as bigots.

Hell, even the very premise of assuming Pharma is a functionist bigot for hating Decepticons is ignoring the very premise of Pharma's motives, which are, uh... being blackmailed by the leader of the Decepticon Justice Division, who represents the ultimate form of Decepticon ideals to the point of literally wearing their symbol as his mask? So how were we jumping straight to "oh Pharma hates Decepticons bc he's a posh bigoted functionist" when there was a far more immediate interpretation/headcanon of "Pharma hates Decepticons because he's being tortured and blackmailed by one."

That's not to say that Pharma couldn't have hated Decepticons before Delphi, and I think you could make interesting headcanons/extrapolations based on either idea. But still. It kinda feels like people saw Pharma and just wanted to make him the Token Evil Autobot who's the opposite of our Good Heroic Autobots regardless of whether evidence from canon supported it or not.

Good riddance to bigoted functionist Pharma fanon, I'm so glad that the majority of Pharma fanon these days actually gives him a chance and puts him on equal footing as other Autobots.

Y'know, I see a lot of people argue that like, Jay is ugly. Why does Jon like him? And I've made it clear I disagree, because, like, cmon:

That is OBJECTIVELY a handsome man, and I'm a lesbian, lmao.

But like. If he was. ... So?

I actually think it's pretty cool that DC was like, yeah, Superman fell in love with a guy who cuts his own hair with dull scissors and dresses like oscar the grouch. He's a little weird to look at, maybe he's not the most conventionally attractive dude, but SUPERMAN found him wonderful and wanted to kiss him on the mouth.

That's... great? Like that's great. There's no universe where that reading of the text isn't awesome and empowering. Queer love should transcend looks and social status, and a huge part of queerness is finding beauty in the 'odd', anyways.

going to be honest i think drawing butch versions of joshua graham/caesar should be punishable by death

genuinely if eddie doesn’t take a swing at gerrard what’s the point of any of this

[astroarcane]

Not to continue whining but I already know that people are gonna complain more about the POC edits that will come out (fucking ""blackwashing"") then the blatant racism in the game and then pretend that they're still allies.

"well it's wrong to change any character's skin tone—" maybe focus on the multibillion corporation pandering to racists instead of singular artists making edits of fictional characters.

[ssruis]

I think some pjsk fans are a little too comfortable making fun of how the characters pronounce english words. Saw a video titled “wxs speaking ‘engrishu’” & it’s like hey man. that feels a little unnecessary. You can just say English.

one shining example of felix's characterization is the saltburn tour scene. see, felix catton believes he is humble. he whips through saltburn with an air of casualty, flippantly remarking on the most absurd things you can imagine. the music trickles by as the viewers struggle to catch the mindless rush of sheer, raw wealth. something most of us could never dream of obtaining, something oliver dreams of constantly

felix catton mistakes disinterest for humility. he mistakes apathy for modesty. in reality, he's washing himself clean of his wealth, sheltering himself away from the weight that comes with power. he is ignorant to the fact that people want him for his status, so he has no incentive to change. why be anything other than mediocre if mediocracy gets him whatever he wants?

no, felix isn't a golden boy. he's just oliver's northern star. we're just seeing him through the lens of romanticization. for oliver to accept that felix is anything but perfect would first require that oliver accepted the hollowness of power. felix is the minotaur because despite his lack of intention, despite his unawareness, he is still a monster. and oliver hunts him with no desire to kill him, until felix innocently destroys everything he has the privilege of touching. evil is pervasive, but only with the support of ignorance; this is felix.

I wonder how many people of color Salem called racist while he was racist himself and how many people of color his crusty white girlfriend called a cracker in all caps because I've seen her do that at least 3 times

[cryptablog]

Heres an impossible challenge.

Find my Fuck Neil Gaiman post from the the beginning of this year! I just want it as a reminder for always being right forever.

I was the first. I have seen. EVERYTHING

An Israel supporter just reblogged one of my posts🤢🤮 Immediate block.

I don't care if you like the same things as me, if you support Israel in any way shape or form you are a PSYCHOPATH, I can't breathe whenever I open Instagram or the Al Jazeera news because of the reminders that we share a planet with people who literally think murdering and r#ping children is collateral damage or self-defense or "just something that happens in war" NO IT DOESN'T, IT'S DELIBERATE. I am a Palestinian who's never been to Palestine because my grandparents were forced to leave their families and homeland.

"""Harbor no Hate""" I'm so sick of this Zionist talking point, shut up shut up shut up I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO HATE BABY KILLERS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS

there’s been a couple replies to my post from earlier saying to listen & learn from marginalized fans when they tell u something and yes that. and.

my main point. was that YOU, you white gay kid in my phone, YOU need to say something to a creator when YOU see an author writing a black character in a way that isn’t okay. listen to us, obviously, that should be a given, but what’s not always a given is that YOU, you white gay kid, you need to speak on shit too even if it isn’t about being gay. you know?
