Hey, fat people deserve to have fun and get their needs met even if they’re the least healthy mf you know. Fat people deserve proper medical care, and carbs, and to wear shorts and so many more things! EVEN IF THEY ARE UNWELL AND ESPECIALLY IF THAT UNWELLNESS IS DUE TO THEIR WEIGHT!!! Fat people deserve the world and more. Not just the healthy fats or attractive fats or small fats or fats that are fat because of medication or disability.

skinny people please reblog this one

Everyone reblog this one

if projecting nuclear family roles onto found families has one million haters, I am one of them. if labeling found family members as mom/dad/sibling-coded has five haters, I am one of them. if cramming found family into reductive, ill-fitting boxes has no haters, I am no longer alive. if the entire world is against diversity and ambiguity and shades of gray in found family dynamics, I am against the entire world.

haven't you ever been a bestie before

you can't say "hey has anyone noticed that M/M fic outnumbers F/F like 100:1” or “it feels racist that only 3/202 characters on the ao3 top 100 ships list are Black and two of them are Alastor HazbinHotel” bc some ppl will start going like “oh so you think we should FORCE people to write about things they DON’T CARE ABOUT for WOKE????” and you’ll be like “no, i’m pointing out that the conditions that created this disparity are informed by racism & misogyny” and ppl will say “it’s not BIGOTED to only care about WHITE MEN” and then the gargoyle king appears

Here in shipping civilization, no one goes for the dark ships. It's a lot easier to stick to the canon ships, where all the shipping noobs tend to stay. I might be a shipping noob, but I know I can't just stick to the canon. I have to go for the dark ships. Because without going for those, there's no way I'll ever rank up to be a pro shipper.

banning trans women from the olympics is bad because they’re banning trans women from the olympics. full stop. really nothing else needs to be added to this sentence. it’s discriminatory and wrong to ban trans women from the olympics, and it would be regardless of how this might effect some cis women. why is every post about this focused on the cis women, instead of how alarmingly transmisogynistic this is?

[lucydacusgirl]

Can I be real guys I don’t think the phrase boys will be boys is salvageable. Stop trying to make it cute it’s not cute it is a phrase that is absolutely rotten to the core at worst and at best it ‘just’ reinforces sexist gender stereotypes seriously stop trying to rehabilitate it it’s cringe.

[almostwaffles]

unless we can actually make 'boys will be boys' in it's only good context (guys finding cool rocks and sticks and being super happy about silly cute things like tossing a cool rock into a lake) it's pretty much screwed

but all those videos of guys being super fun and whimsical in their way and one running up to his friends like 'look at this great rock i found' and everyone passing it around like it's the most valuable thing in the world... those are precious and that's what boys will be boys is supposed to be

[lucydacusgirl]

That sentiment actually is exactly what I’m talking about. There is no good ‘what boys will be boys should mean’. Being ‘super fun and whimsical’ is not exclusive to boys. In what world is finding a cool rock and showing it to your friends ‘boys being boys’? Girls can do that too! And do! Everything that boys do girls do as well. Ascribing having fun and being goofy or whimsical to boys is inherently exclusive to the fun, whimsy and goofiness of girls. It’s part of the same sexism that says that girls like to sit quietly while boys roughhouse. It denies girls their interiority and agency and perpetuates a gendered behavioural divide that is entirely the result of sexism and conditioning. If having fun is for boys where does that leave girls?

I keep seeing posts from both ""sides"" (they aren't opposing opinions but the piss on the poor website naturally has a lot of trouble with anything that isn't a black and white us vs them situation) of the write what you want/there's a glaring lack of diversity in fanfic debate and like. What the write what you want crowd don't seem to be able to grasp is that that's literally fine. We all agree that fandom is a fun hobby and no one wants to force people not to write (/draw/make edits of/whatever) whatever they want. The point of pointing out hey, there's a disproportionally high focus on the white/male/cis/etc characters in this media that has plenty of diverse characters to choose from, or that the fanon m/m ship gets more interaction than the canon f/f ship, or whatever else, isn't to force people to fill in the gaps in fandom. It's to make you examine your biases as to why you only ever focus on the white man (etc) in every fandom you're involved in. If your response to "wow it sure is strange that the cishet white male character has more fics than every other character combined" is "fuck you I can write whatever I want", maybe just take a moment to think about why pointing out a fact makes you feel so defensive rather than immediately rushing to make a scathingly worded post.

ccs say “boundaries” when they really mean “rules” … if we wanna get real. not to beat a dead horse

“respect my boundaries or you’re not allowed in my fandom” to people who’ve been respecting your boundaries, i.e. keeping unwanted content outside of your boundary, the whole time. ohhh. you mean to say “follow my rules” i get it now!

[gremnda]

ccs be like "draw/write me exactly how i want and i won’t bully you off the internet :) love u guys #notparasocial"

[torglives]

hello child on the internet. i am a content creator with more influence and power than you have. i don’t like what you’ve said online, so i’ll be quote-tweeting you now to express that, if that’s alright. yeah it’ll send droves of harassment to you. yeah they’ll probably run you off the internet. this is completely fair, and if it isn’t, i never meant for it to happen. i’m the good guy here, okay?

[torglives]

yes i know you’re 14 years old. you just need to learn that actions have consequences. through me, the youtuber, who is a notoriously reliable moral pillar

[mossfeathers]

need to know the fandom consensus on this

which type of mcyt name is sillier/stupider sounding in fics

real words (scar, pearl, gem, vintage, beef, avid, legs, etc.)

made up words/abbreviations (xisuma, grian, keralis, doovid, XB, bigb, etc.)

real names that stand out amongst the weirdos (joel, jimmy, scott, josh, etc.)

secret other type of name??

Voting ended onFeb 3

vote based off of names that are actually used in fics, not just the mcyt username (so jimmy is jimmy and not solidaritygaming because nobody writes his name as solidaritygaming. you get it.) also put what you're thinking of if you voted the secret other type of name option in the tags. im curious.

rb for sample size !!
