#yeah he has anger issues and has an obsessive personality but he was Not Homophobic

[fujobrainrot]

John winchester is NOT homophobic. Anyone who thinks so, I demand that you watch The Winchesters. Yeah Dean messed with the timeline in that show but only made him meet Mary early. He met Carlos right after meeting her and from the beginning he had NO PROBLEM with Carlos's sexuality.

Carlos talks openly about being attracted to men, including specific men, in front of John and he doesn't even blink.

RICHARD WAS GAY, CAMILLA WASN’T MEANT TO DESERVE BETTER, CHANGE MY MIND: THE DISSERTATION

Hi. I finished The Secret History in October. Here’s the radioactive take I’ve been sitting on for two months.

In keeping and facilitating any discussion of representation (or lackthereof) in The Secret History, it's important to note that Donna intentionally wrote it to closely mimick the upper echelons of elite collegiate academia within the United States: an overtly white, heterosexual, and wealthy pocket of young adults attempting to parade as and/or speak on behalf of those who aren't.

[spoilers under the cut]

That being said, an all-white lead cast is not only appropriate but necessary, as it allows the reader to familiarize themselves with the intimacies of a setting and social crowd made previously foreign, either by circumstance or the deliberate smoke-and-screen thrown up by academic elitists in order to shield their near-archaic world and ensuing social norms from the broader, less-white, less-straight, less- wealthy public. All this is to say: The Secret History is written entirely from the first-person limited perspective of a straight white cis male and therein lies the social commentary. Richard, although to his begrudging credit as having been arguably one of the most moral characters in the entire novel, is still at fault for falling prey to The Mortifying Ordeal of Being A Man. He stays silent in the wake of Bunny's flagrantly homophobic, racist, sexist, and antisemitic tirades -- even when the brunt of this is revealed to Richard on their first evening out together. He regards Judy as simple-minded and coked-out and calls upon her only when it benefits him or furthers the plot arch in which he himself is almost too aware that he stars. He thumbs through the catalogue of women at parties like they're kitchen appliances, and when he's confronted on a notable occasion that he's stolen someone else's, he matter-of-factly evades responsibility, blame, and the kitchen itself. And, most notably, Camilla. For a novel so cleverly crafted from nuance and innuendo, a cliche like love at first sight seems almost insincere. And you'd be right in that assumption. Caustic, anxious, pessimistic, emotionally-detached Richard has no business pining after Camilla the moment he lays eyes on her -- especially not after allocating a measly half-paragraph to her physical appearance upon first glance. And ESPECIALLY not when the prior page was near entirely dedicated to Mr. Abernathy (but we'll get to this). If you really pay attention... All Richard ever comes to appreciate about Camilla is her outward makeup -- specifically the clot of honey-colored hair at her temples that he references several times. The closest he ever comes to introspection and empathy is when he laments over how "difficult" it must be to exist in a "boy's club." (DIRECT quotes.) When Camilla shows up at his bedroom door and reaches out to him about the sexual, emotional, and physical abuse she's endured at the hands of her brother, his gut instinct is to doubt her. When she shows him the evidence, it's anger. When she refuses to move back in with him at his insistence, it's to kick her out back onto the campus where Charles is scouring after her. Richard regards Camilla as little more than something pretty to look at, and the only reason he's attracted to her and values her beyond the likes of the Judy Pooveys of Bennington is because Camilla is in the classics program; Camilla recites ancient Greek in perfect memory; Camilla wears Tweed and comes from money and embodies the peak of the class struggle that Richard has been traumatized by since birth -- and she's neatly packaged into a petite fair-haired girl his age, just to top it all off. There is a reason why Camilla is the main character we know least about. We aren't meant to care. We are Richard, and Richard doesn't care. He wants and lusts and yearns after what she is -- not who she is. To him, she embodies everything he is supposed to want in life: wealth, intellect, status -- all things he's been shown to chase after to near ridiculous lengths. It almost wouldn't matter if she wasn't even a girl ooOH WAIT CUT THE MUSIC [record scratch] [freeze frame] Let's introduce Francis! Out of the Murder Gang, Francis is the one Richard spends the most time devoted to describing, most memorably on that very first day he catalogued them all walking across the lawn. And not only is Richard most preoccupied by him -- of all the things Francis possesses (good style, great taste in fashion, a dry, bland sort of humor that compliments Richards own brand near perfectly) Richard is obsessed with Francis's homosexuality. Richard is so hyperfixated on Francis's homosexuality that he vividly remembers the day , time, and place of when he'd rejected Francis's infinisemal advances, and then mulls over it for months in detail and is able to bring it forth at at the drop of a hat when faced with the HINT of another advancement from Francis. For an unreliable narrator, Richard sure is able to recall gay panic. In staggering detail. Richard is SO hyperfixated on Francis that upon receiving his suicide note, he BOOKS A FLIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY. After having held no serious, steady contact with him after they'd committed a murder together. Richard not only drops everything to fly from CA to NY overnight, he also bears witness to Francis's (basically) arranged marriage and immediately following the blatant explanation and display of Francis's family's homophobia, ASKS CAMILLA TO MARRY HIM. In a last-ditch effort to save face, to bury his homosexual urges that have resurfaced after years of self-inflicted suppression, to convince himself that if Francis can stomach it (albeit barely) then so can he -- all of these interpretations are left up to the reader. One thing is for certain, though: his spontaneous proposal to Camilla comes right off the tail end of his visiting Francis in-person for the last time in the novel. Perhaps the reader expects there to be a revelation or a sudden spark of insight into Camilla's character which we have never before gleaned -- but there isn’t. And if that isn't a direct confirmation of Camilla's role not as a character, but as a plot device, then I would politely redirect your attention to how even her denial of Richard is soft-spoken, gentle, and ultimately kind; what woman do you know would save that kind of otherworldly grace for a man who'd repeatedly scorned her, advanced on her without her consent, and asked her to marry him in the middle of a crowded train station? Camilla is the male fantasy and the physical representation of what Richard should want for himself. Francis (along with Literally Every Other Male Character His Age In This Novel) represent a call to something darker, something taboo, something ultimately detrimental; Cloke and his drugs; Charles and his drinking; Henry and his penchant for murder (and sociopathy and control issues and... Yeah);  Bunny and his lying; Francis and his... It's not so much that Francis is the sole symbol of sin and indulgence to Richard: it's that Francis is the only one remotely attainable, because Francis is the only one that would feasibly sleep with him, because Francis is a homosexual and... is that why Richard spends paragraphs upon pages upon chapters mulling over Francis's sex life? Is that why 'homosexual' is one of the first things we learn about Francis? Is that why Richard doesn't even do a good job at convincing himself, let alone the reader, that he doesn't want to hook up with Francis -- a handful of lines before they get as far as second (and arguably third) base? In conclusion: the alternative title of The Secret History should be whatever the ancient Greek equivalent is of the colloquialism "no homo." But the Greeks sure did love their gays, didn't they...? :-)

tyler, the creator: the very queer discography review!!!

Im bored of writing overly long threads on twitter so i wrote a look at tyler the creators discography and why hes gay and im gay and deserved to have his dick immortalized in gold when he dies. So tyler gregory okanma is a black man born in ladera heights california. He’s also my third favorite rapper and since he discovered my favorite rapper earl sweatshirt I guess he deserves goat status for that shit too. Tyler started his career around 17 years old as the ace the creator. He did features at the time with casey veggies and the inspirations in his flow to mf doom where already apparent even back then. From ace the creator mixtape you can already hear the very digital and jazz inspired pharrell production. Funny story if you look up any of his ace stuff now you'll mostly find some really old production that in the age of tyler the creator type beats doesn't really hold u all that great. From there Tyler went on to create odd futures and his first album bastard. He quite quickly followed up bastard with godlin. Goblin, bastard, and the OF tape vol.1 all feel pretty interconnected so im gonna speed round from worst to best. So odd future tape volume one is fun and punk and really crass, it's also completely eclipsed by odd futures other releases. I love odd future and the collective's ability too be both edgy teen skate rap garbage, and a risky artistic rap collective all at the same time. In odd future's first tape it seems pretty clear that tylers description of the groups early work as a bunch of niggas joking around in a studio is very apparent for better or worse. If you wanna get high with some friends can listen to some funny edgy and downright grimey tracks over left brains booking production skip this and listen to odd future's next mixtape but come back here to listen to some funny skits and a few proto mellowhype track with domo genesis. Goblin is Tyler's attempt to do a bigger darker more sprawling version of bastard but misses the mark. I like the album and I love singles on the album. Goblin the opening track is amazing and is a great look at tylers mental state attempting to live up to his newfound fame and anxiety about his infamy. I love yonkers and tron cat. Tyler says alot at this time that he doesn't make horrorcore and he's correct but the lack of emotional honesty and his immature deflections is really going off on all cylinders. If you dont wanna hear skits like “my bitch suck dick” and lines like “im not homophobic faggot” i would probably call it his worst album. Before i talk about bastard id like to go over his use of slurs and rape in his work. Tylers consistent lyrics about violence towards women and use of the lgbtq community really don't insult me. I feel like his lyrical content is filled with a clear look of how angry and insecure tyler was about not having a father or any way of processing his angst. Did he have to sound like a incel threatening to stalk and murder women who refuse to love him for over 3 albums? No, but i really enjoy looking at his early music. He doesn't shy away from how angry, sad and desperate he was at the time. That synthesis of need for fatherly love, anger from a lack of it and deteriorating mental state honestly makes the content more palatable. Also as a black trans women id rather hear tranny an faggot bars from a male rapper making intreeating music. Tyler at the time was being honest, angry and vulnerable not like eminem and action bronson who spit these bars with all the same rap bravado and violent anger toward women with zero pathos. Bastard is amazing, it's an intimate dark album. At the time it felt like it was tapping right into where I was at the time. The amount of mental anguish on bastards opening track really hit me. I was an angry kid with a lot of angst and bipolar disease so hearing a rapper yell about that same dysfunction really meant alot to me. The flows are amazing and it was a really good look at tylers ability to build a narrative. Wolf was tyler's next album. For a while wolf was my favorite album by tyler. His look at relationships and breakups on bimmer and ifhy are amazing and are expanded on his future releases. Find your wings and treehome are also a good look at his more melodic influence. It was such a good album I actually bought the mrech for and went to see Tyler at afropunk. Also hearing an entire song about the death of his grandma really hit me, my grandfather died around the same time. Cherry bomb was bad, now moving one. Ok im  joking i've listened to it two or three times but its really not worth going back to even though tyler put his all into it. The soul features and amazing production is worth listening to but even Tyler admits he rushed the album a little and that he needed to blow people away next time. Flower boy, is one of the most important albums in hip hop. That's it. Bar none. It was my favorite release of 2018. Flower boy is about tylers newfound isolation with his fame, and how he drives cars by himself in beautiful la vistas. Its also about how he’s gay (or bisexual). There are ALOT of stupid takes on this album. There is a contingency of tyler stans that think tyler has been “playing a character” since bastard. Now I'll admit that wolf haley and dr.teecee are clearly characters; they are also artists' representations of tyler's mental state. If wolf haley has adhd and no father that means tyler also has those issues. So whether or not Tyler is playing a character he has in fact “been kissing white boys since 2004”. I also have seen an insipid article that asks if “tyler the creator should be accepted into the lgbtq community” due to his homophobia? Much more controversial and actually homophobic and transphobic people are in this community hes tyler the creator, not milo yinnaoplous. I also dont think that it occurs to the reviewer that alot of gay men are very hmophobic before they come out and that self hate is very common. Lyrics like “im not gay i just wanna dance to some marvin” also has a much deeper context now. Listening to older releases you can see how in your face tyler was about his queerness. He even said he filmed himself kissing his friend Lucas to prove he wasn't a homophobe. I'm happy Tyler grew enough to make an album not only about being attracted to men but how lonely he felt in and out of the closet. As someone who came out as bisexual at the time it came at a perfect time. Being  gay is isolating and confusing and when you do you lose alot of friends and family. Garden shed, who dat boy, and 911 are real standouts. His collaboration with kali uchis was also so fucking smooth and she a born r&b star. Tyler gained a grammy nomination off the album and said he loved the feeling of finally making popular catchy music people wanna sing the lyrics too, so he followed it with igor. Igor opens with this addendum on the back of the physical album: 

This might be fiction, this might be about igor but it is fully about tyler okanga. The album is very hard to parse and barely has any rapping. It's more of a pop experimental album with a lot of lofi synth production. Tylers production chops are full force here. Igor is melodic, sad and full of the same anger and obsession from his previous albums. Its just more mature and really gay, and i fucking love it. Tyler was dealing with a tumultuous relationship with a guy and his refusal to be with tyler exclusively. Its about a breakup. A love tragedy that only becomes more depressing after the argument on a boy is a gun, the breakup in my love is gone, and the sad slump back into needing closure in can we be friends. The album is fun to sing to, and fucking devestating. I've dealt with a lot of similar issues with love and obsession so to hear it so clearly illustrated on igor really hit me. I think the album becomes even more depressing with the unreleased track best interest, about tyler being a side nigga. This is the kind of music that's sometimes made in r&b and pop but never in rap. There was an interview where Tyler says he hated his voice which is why he edits it so evident on igor. Tyler also said he wanted to send these songs to rihanna and Justin Beiber but they didn't want them, as cool as it sounds. I'm happy tyler was able to tell his own story. I would also recommend magic wand since it's my favorite track on the album and kicks you in the face with how angry and heartbroken Tyler was at the time. 

Tyler is an artist that talks and speaks about how he feels all the time, he's also a person who feels enigmatic and mysterious somehow. I think it has to do with how constantly he's put to the side of his other hip hop contemporaries. He always seems to be making music Tom weird, controversial and experimental to be treated like asap rocky, vince staples, or the late mac miller. A fact that feels ironic since he worked with all of those artists, lil wayne, and even kanye west. I'm as big a stan for tyler as he is for Pharrell, if it wherent forever I'd never take rap seriously and would never have chosen to make my own music. As a black trans woman I find a lot of tylers work really relatable. I've been in alot of the angry hopeless situations Tyler talks about in his music. I think he's the artist who hits me the most on a personal level and yeah when i was depressed i sat in my bedroom and listened to bastard in my low moments. I like riding in the car and listening to all of flowerboy. Igor is amazing as well for almost half a decade it's been amazing growing up and hitting the same emotional beats Tyler went through5 in his work. Hearing about him coming out as gay ajd dealing with very similar backlash mad me feel less alone if im being honest. Tyler has said he wants to take a more production heavy role in the industry moving forward but he says that a lot, i think as long as he has a story to tell he's always going to make music. His music feels like a diary and I'm happy to read it and sonnet to it in all its beauty and ugliness. 

Hi my name is lua o'reilly i make music on soundcloud.com/wormmother

If you liked this review let me know and I'll do a look into earl sweatshirt.

i'm thinking about alex & his tendency to cut through situational nonsense & say exactly what the heart of the issue is without worrying what makes people uncomfortable. it's a fascinating quality in his character & one of the biggest changes I think we see between him as a teenager & an adult aside from the wardrobe. alex responds to people talking around or poking at his trauma with blunt force trauma responses of his own. 

like - the first big conversation he has with kyle is such a good example of this. 'my dad was a homophobic, abusive asshole' - like that’s a series of facts that he’s memorized instead of this huge, loaded statement. kyle fumbles his way towards a 'hey bro remember the good times?' apology & alex knocks that down with a 'yeah before you turned into a bully.' he has nothing smart to say when kyle rebuffs that candor with his own - 'bravest person I know' - which is also telling because i do think that moment is so meaningful to him & there’s no smart comeback or pushback. he has to let it sit. 

he does it over & over - 'i was hoping the rage face skipped a generation,' 'you've been a crappy friend,' 'i left nice back in iraq.' he does it to his father four or five times in their bunker conversation. & to me these read as a combination of a lack of willingness for bullshit, uncomfortable self-deprecating self awareness, & just a backlog of things he's never said.

it takes him a long time to say what he wants to say but when he does -

it's true for how he speaks to michael too - which clashes a little with the fact that he also seems to find michael's bullshit charming (which... sorry you're done in pal). michael does action first, flirts & pushes & & flies to anger first. he has these grand, romantic gestures & overtures. i never look away. he also speaks around things until the very end - we connected like something cosmic - metaphor & innuendo instead of bluntness. 

alex has to sit on them, wait on them. there isn’t anything off the cuff he can say to michael pouring his heart out. when they do sleep together it’s because michael does - pours his heart out - and alex acts without another word. 

he can't think of anything to say then but when he does -

the first time he really truly speaks to what they are or were he basically yells 'i loved you and I think you loved me for a long time' which he’s probably never vocalized out loud! then it's calling michael his family. then it's his confession of why he had to leave & what that meant. he doesn't wear anything on his sleeve & things have to build & settle but when he lets them out he flips the fucking lid off & i'm obsessed with it.

[diaryofanangryasianguy]

I need help unpacking this, not the comments in the image so much since I’ve already respond to those specifically but to the broader issue of pretending the racial preference is anything other than racism. I not exactly sure what I want by calling out different pages, mostly it’s out of frustration. I think I just want folks to admit it’s racism. In the same vein as an alcoholic has to admit he is one to start the process getting and staying sober. Folks seem to think if they aren’t the worst version of something they can’t be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc… I can’t be that bad I don’t like Trump, see these anti-Trump posts, see that black dude I posted 3 months ago, I can’t be anti-black.

I think racial preference can come from racism or be rooted in racism. They often reduce the person to a stereotypical racial fetish. Not every person in a racial group will have the same features, look the same, or act the same. So when people say they want to date a person of X race, they’re talking about a stereotypical image of what that race looks like or the stereotypical features that are associated to that race. There’s obviously a difference if you prefer your own racial or ethnic group because you want to be with someone that has a similar culture or something, but that’s another story. Racism doesn’t have to be out in the open or extreme in order for it to be racist. It can be the little things in our minds.

I started following more Asian and Latino pages after all the whitewashing scandals, hoping to be more inclusive myself. Ones like yours so I could get perspectives I lack, news relevant to different communities. I figure if I’m reblogging from actual Asians and Latinos it’s less likely to be a fetishized image and ones they actually consider positive. However, I’ve noticed that too many of these pages will either exclude all other people of color but will include white men or include all other races except black people. It’s become incredibly frustrating encountering this time and time again. It’s one thing to know anti-blackness is global but being confronted with it on a regular basis is demoralizing and infuriating. It’s made me a little mean and ruthless in how I come these pages, if I’m honest.

That’s a good practice, I do that too lol. I usually follow people that I can learn from or gain more insight about. It’s more helpful and better to learn from the actual people or communities than some random person that’s an outsider to that culture or group.

But yeah, that’s also the thing as well. More specific race/ethnic groups will usually only post about their own people and I think this is okay if that is what the blog is about. It’s a space that is made specifically for their group. However, if a blog is claiming to be about “all POC” or something like that, then I would expect them to post about every group of color, including Black people too. Otherwise, there must be a reason for exclusion which is probably and most likely from anti-blackness.

And the frustration or anger is understandable. You just want to be accepted or not be subjected to racism at the very least but when people still exclude or are still racist to you, you’re obviously not gonna be happy about it and no one should expect you to be happy about anti-blackness so… it’s understandable.

To be fair to the guy from the picture above I’ll include his page address, if you want to check him out.

http://curiousflipboi.tumblr.com/archive

Thank you in advance, whether you address this or not. I know how exhausting it can be to have to teach people things.

Yeah, I just blocked him. He’s some self-hating Asian that’s obsessed with pointing out Asian N*zis whenever anyone talks about Asian people. He’s probably one of those that was bullied so hard, he internalized the racism, now hates Asian people, and can only talk about Asian N*zis. It’s not necessarily because they’re N*zis that he talks about them, it’s specifically to expand or justify his anti-Asian sentiment or hate. Probably glorifies them deep down tbh. You’ll bump into these every now and then.

Why boys should have sisters

Yeah it's 4:57 AM on Christmas morning and I'm still up, thinking about all those sexists and incels out there making women's lives miserable, and how one of my brothers, flawed though he is, is not among them.

My 21-year-old brother has been obsessed with war and battle strategy since he was a kid, but has not joined the army due to his strict belief that killing is wrong. He can go on for hours about strategy and weapons and war history. He can do the same with video game lore, and can easily point out plot holes and inconsistencies in worldbuilding. Also, he has a bit of a speech impediment, and isn't exactly the handsomest face of the family. You'd expect this kind of guy to be an incel, right?

Yet, while he has never had a girlfriend, I have never seen or heard him disrespect a woman. He's basically the most feminist guy I know, and has never felt the need to say so. He is also very tolerant and supportive of LGBT people (I'm not out to him yet), especially considering our homophobic mother. He even opposes conversion therapy.

Here's why I think he turned out so well.

My family has nine kids including me. Three males and six females, leaving the boys outnumbered two to one. This brother of mine grew up with 4 older sisters (me included) who were very involved in his life. I used to read him stories about the early feminists before our parents threw that book in the trash. Another sister held the most respect out of anyone in the household, and we would do anything she said without question. Since there were so many girls, stuff that was considered "man's work" was taken over by the girls. To this day, the females in our family can easily stand up to an average male in a fight.

My brother grew up surrounded by women who both demanded and earned his respect. He also didn't have the kind of friends who would teach him that this is anything out of the ordinary. As such, respecting women came second nature to him.

Now take my older "brother." He is the second oldest of the children, and somehow got all the good genes. Intelligent mind, strong body, and an amazing fighting instinct. And he loved to hold it all over us. He loved to show off how smart he was, the illusions he could preform (he was excellent at mind and magic tricks), how easily he could hurt us.

Which, come to think of it, is pretty fucked up of someone to so these things to little kids.

While none of us liked him as a person, we always felt like he had power over us, so I guess it was like pseudo-respect. He also never saw my father respect my mother, and became very involved with a church that often reminds its patrons of the "roles" of men and women in its culture.

This brother has grown up to have an excellent life, with a well-paying job and a great wife who I frankly feel he doesn't treat well enough. He is the embodiment of the "That is not correct" vine. He still likes to act superior, has anger management issues, and has a lack of respect for women and LGBTs. He'd probably vote for Trump, or even Pence if it comes to that. In fact, the biggest reason I haven't tried to come out to my family is because I'm afraid that he won't let me see my nephew anymore, lest I make his child gay with my influence.

What boys need are strong female figures in their life. And not just moms. From what I've seen, men who disrespect women either don't treat their mothers any differently, or see their mother as the exception to the rule. This is also why we need good representation of women in media, but that's another conversation.

Sisters. Friends who are girls. Even fictional women. Boys need them in their lives not just to hold them accountable for sexist thoughts or actions that show up, but to humanize women in the minds of boys who grow up to be tomorrow's men.

Thank you for reading my rant. Be sure to drink your respect women juice and vaccinate your kids.

TLDR: If you have a son, please surround him with positive female role models. Give him stories with strong female leads, or help him make friends with girls. And for the love of Susan B. Anthony, don't tease him about "liking them" if he happens to actually enjoy their company.
