Just fyi, this is a side blog, so if I follow you back it will be from my main blog arstyfartsyculturalcrap.

(Because I am old and back in the old days of tumblr, your hipster aesthetic art blogs were kept separate from your fandom blogs)

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

So many weird plot things going on in Blue Prince can be explained with Simon Jones is a 14 year old boy prince. Why does he still sleep outside in the post game? 14 year old boy prince wants to. Lives off of a diet of immaculate dinners and random fruits he found that he puts salt on? 14 year old boy prince. Can't not play some hoops/lift weights whenever he sees the chance? 14 year old boy prince. He's just a lil guy
