i think white people who like fob/mcr/adjacent bands need to think before they speak a lot more . and i’ve said this several times but getting into an argument with a fucking twenty one pilots fan hit a nerve. there are a lot of running jokes about parasocial relationships on here especially about people that have been in the public eye for a long time but when it all boils down to it:

if you come across information about them. (ie - a grown man in a band is actively and consistently ignorant) choosing to defend a band guy you don’t know over blatant racism will literally get you nowhere. nobody’s gonna fuck you or give you an award for being defensive about racism.

and on that same note. even when you as a white person are a fan of a person of color you Have to be conscious of the words you’re using to describe them and their work. minimizing someone’s lyricism or musicianship because you think they’re silly or whatever. or animal comparisons. are both things i see way too much of in fob and mcr posts especially and while you may not be trying to be harmful. everything has connotations.

it’s like. impossible. to be a person of color on tumblr in peace but especially with bandom where the overwhelming whiteness is so heavy so. 1) think before you speak 2) basic human decency to people of color is always more important than a fucking band 3) think before you speak

[paramoreworld]

also. if you can make posts about how hot you think pete wentz or travie mccoy or ray toro etc are but you can’t make any statements beyond that about them. but you can for their white band members and friends. that is weird And telling.

An Open Letter to White Emo Kids

When I was thirteen years old, I googled ‘how to be emo.’ The music, the aesthetics, the darkness of it all captivated me. There was transgression there, with boys in makeup and girls who weren’t ashamed to be bisexual. The online emo community on google plus (anyone else remember google plus? Just me?) took me in with open arms. I was allowed to be depressed, I didn’t have to hide my burgeoning sexuality or the starts of my struggle with depression, something I now know was caused by intense amounts of dysphoria and life in an abusive and queerphobic household.

Only, there was one problem. I wasn’t white. 

Certainly, nobody would say they had an issue with me being Latino to my face. Most people in the scene genuinely believed they were not racist. After all, they loved Latino people, they thought the guys in Pierce the Veil were so hot. They appreciated the culture too, sombreros and maracas were the full extent of Mexican culture, right?

i think i'm just about ready to snap and start unhinged yelling about generational neglect in the queer community

[submalevolentgrace]

young queers hate anyone that isn't young.

i wish it was more complex than that. it's always couched in some other argument of course, about how times have changed or how old people are inherently more conservative or how "outdated" language is "offensive", rich out of touch boomers etc, but it's just a distraction. new young people enter the queer community and want it all to be fresh and new and sexy, they want to be the trailblazers, the first generation really pushing back, the first true radicals. after all, if the previous generations had done it right, they'd have defeated bigotry and oppression, right? so they must have been fighting wrong. they must have been bad queers - sorry, bad LGBTQIA+'s. so they should shut up and let us kids fix it.!

of course there will be black and white photos of "elders" and a sort of performed reverence for "history" and us "always being here", but only as history, never as contemporaries, as members of our continuous community that we should actively listen to. the voices of those that came before are only revered once they're dead and they can't argue back at teenagers wildly misreading and rewriting their lives... or maybe even worse, the fresh queers might discover their revolutionary new praxis system has actually been done before!!

the excuse i hate most though?

"we lost a whole generation to AIDS"

i am so fucking sick of hearing this, absolutely sick to my stomach of it. because we didn't! i am not at all going to minimise how horrific the aids catastrophe was to our community or how many it killed, because i have heard first hand stories of people that lived through it, who lost friends and families to it.

but that's the point. they lived through it. many queers did! depending on where you are, most queers did!

we have a living, continuous, unbroken line of queers spanning back all of living memory who we could truly embrace as elders of a community, to care for and learn from, so that we don't have to stumble through alone, but we don't. a "queer elder" is someone like me apparently, 35. i keep having people in their early 20's tell me how thankful they are for my "wisdom", like bitch, there are 60-80 year old queers out there, ready to tell their stories! they will know a fuckton more than me, and all of it is still relevant!

when i was in my 20's, and i was lucky enough to learn from some of them at the rare events where they were welcomed; 50yo's setting up casual evenings for anyone and everyone to come and talk and share stories and learn from each other. i had a therapist once that was a grumpy old dyke that came out in the 70's, and while we often had friction in our opinions on mental health strategies, her experience was invaluable for me untangling a lot of internalized hatred and self loathing. it broke my heart one day when she just straight up said "people would rather pretend we'd all died from aids though, than have to listen to what we've got to say".

but even in the decade since then, it's got worse and worse.

everyone i know my age who once had an active and thriving social network in the queer community has withdrawn into isolation. we live in small pockets with few friends. there's no space left for us. all ages events and gatherings are organised for the fresh and young, and they complain if we're there - we being anyone who dares to be a little wrinkly and saggy. any event that has a minimum age, 30+, 40+, 50+ etc, get flooded with hate for being "exclusionary", or "hoarding resources" like community is a 4X game. teenagers complain about "creepy old predators" having picnics at midsumma carnival. people in their 60's are told to go kill themselves for daring to use the same language they did 40 years ago - ironically right in the middle of the aids crisis that supposed cost us all our elders. horizontal ageist violence in the queer community is some of the nastiest emotional vitriol i've seen, and i've been hate crimed (:(:

so we withdraw into eternal loneliness, looking for scraps, being told our names and flags and core identities are as hurtful as the weapons of the oppressors. told we should either ovverhaul our entire experience of being queer to fit in with what's acceptable in this 3-year cycle of new identities and symbols, or stfu and go away.

but there's this pervasive fear and hopelessness you see among young queers, talking about how high our suicide rates are, talking about losing a whole generation to aids; because when we're made invisible, what are the youth supposed to think other than that we've got an expiry date, and they won't live past 29?

the elders are here and they need love and support too, or the cycle will just repeat, and those fresh sexy young queers will also grow up and be discarded, again and again.

and i'm so, so tired of it.

[local-trees]

the swiftness and cruelty with which younger queers will discard someone from the community is unfortunately not limited to queer elders.

there is a tendency to dispose of anyone who says a wrong thing, has a wrong kink, isn’t ideologically pure in the way the in-group is etc.

it is a sad way to be in community, if you can even call it a community, when everyone lives in fear of making a mistake and being ostracized as a “harm-doer”; and it is exactly what fascists and homophobes want—it serves their interests for us to eat our own.

so maybe think about that the next time you go to cancel a 50-year-old queer for calling herself a transsexual.

[gonewonky]

49 year old queer transsexual dyke faggot with lots of kinks and no shame here. The ageism is real. The bullshit respectability politics are real. The neo-puritanism in the younger queer community is real. And you know what? I’m too fucking old and tired of it all to give a shit about what some snot nosed fucker with no life experience and a shit attitude says on the internet. Go ahead, cancel me, I don’t care. Come say it to my face and you’ll get punched as fast as a nazi will. I’m long past giving a fuck about such things.

We aren’t your enemy because we are gray and wrinkled and don’t pass your purity tests, but you can be sure we are the enemy of your enemies: the christo-fash repugnicans who are trying to genocide us all. Including your “respectable” queer asses. Learn something from your elder queers. We exist and we’re pissed

Hey guess what addicts are human too and they deserve shelter, food, water, and healthcare just as much as anyone else whether or not they’re trying to “kick” addiction.

[raccoonshinobi]

Hear me out. I will help the closest person willing to free their addiction with every accommodation needed for their recovery - but to hell with people gaining the same access just to continue their addiction.

I will not aid nor baby a raging alcoholic and drug abuser - because after giving them everything a human would need, whether they go from bad to worse with their addiction to the point of harming others and/or dies from overdose/poisoning will be on *me* for supplying and supporting their addiction, not just them for their inability to stop.

And what good is healthcare when healthcare likely advises they get off the substance in order to be healthier? When kicking the substances is potentially the factor to their incline?

Everyone needs necessities; that’s what makes them such. But unlike animals, humans are driven by solid structure; humans NEED structure, both intrapersonal and social. The ignorant rich and upper-middle class aren’t exempt from this either.

Being a part of something is more than just feeling good, it’s knowing we’re doing good by others. Whether it’s work, studies, or pursuing the arts, there’s a driving force people crave for the sake of unity - that some people just genuinely do not have and taking advantage of the good for selfish purposes is what they do best.

Folks don’t seem to grasp that some people will go further into their addiction when there’s least resistance. This is what causes most addiction-based deaths. Clearly, no one wants to talk or think about long-term and lifelong effects but only consider the ‘here and now’ of the matter where people should be free to do what they want and not be without necessities with no consequence in view.

And then we’re right back to square one when something *does* happen that isn’t in our favor - and then we choose to ignore it. I’m TIRED of this.

Emotionally charging every problem humanity faces does not fix anything, especially when there’s no plan to actuate and remedy them accordingly, and to be frank - effectively.

[mioxenoblade]

Don’t care, didn’t ask. Addicts are human too and deserve the same human rights you do, loser. Go to your trump rally and get away from me.

I was like, I was in this spiral of like, all these ideas of what it had to sound like, and I was very meticulous and picky and maybe a little bit...unpleasant. Sorry, guys. Um, because I just really wanted, you know -

patrick: I...thank you, Andy.

sorry. ive been offline pretty much all day. why are people telling ranboo to address and apologize for the racism in his fanbase. why is ranboo at fault for other people being racist

[butch-columbo]

there was a problem for a while where he would ignore poc history months or just poc in general in his community. this is because he didnt want to overshadow poc voices and hes since raised a lot of money for charities but bootwt has a problem of getting extremely defensive over anyone who criticizes them for stuff like that and has been sending targeted threats towards poc. although because these messages are anonymous we have no idea if theyre actually people in the community or trolls on the outside of it. ppl have been wanting him to talk about it or at least acknowledge that it’s going on and then he did but didn’t address it well enough (like heres some of the main things people were concerned about): 

most if it, in my opinion, seems to come from the fact that he just. very obviously has no idea what to do about this. they can’t control other people’s actions and they didn’t want to make a stream dedicated just to it because, in their words, “I didn’t want people to look at the title and think ‘oh this doesn’t apply to me’ and not listen to it.”

some of their phrasing about like fandom reputation was off. but that was also later emphasized to be a “i want people to feel safe here and not look at this fanbase and think it’s dangerous for them based on the reputation it has/i don’t want people to think i endorse and associate with this kind of shit” 

i still don’t know how this is supposed to stop anonymous hate messages that are probably from people outside the fandom using it as an outlet to be racist, but addressing it certainly wouldn’t hurt.

[kirinandvlindertje]

“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

[puppyprivilege-deactivated20151]

I’m sorry, I’m reblogging this twice in a row it is that important

[numinous-queer]

Stand up and say it again for the people in the back row. 

[drtanner]

This is all completely true and correct, of course, but on the topic of changes that irreversibly change a child’s body, prithee, go and talk to a fucking ballet dancer.

If you start ballet at 16, you are too old to ever expect to be able to do it seriously. If you start at 12 you’re too old. If you want to do ballet as a serious thing, as a career, you need to start at like eight years old or even younger, because your bones and joints need to be trained while they’re still flexible in order for you to be able to perform many of the required motions and stances of ballet. In particular, you need to be able to perform turnout of the hips, but all of your joints in your legs and feet will be affected, and this irreversibly changes your body.

And yet! Nobody talks about this as a negative thing! Little girls say they want to be ballet dancers, and if their parents have enough money, that’s what they get to be! Does it cause problems in later life? Yeah, sometimes! Often, even! But nobody talks about that because it’s a thing for cis people to do and so naturally it’s all fine!

Go and talk to a fucking ballet dancer.
