DEEPLY Concerned About Recent AO3 Comments

Hi, I'm really concerned. I've had not one but TWO comments on an old Andi Mack fic on AO3 that I'd been considering writing, about disengaging from my work and not supporting it due to me having allegedly made transphobic and homophobic comments off the platform. I've also had accusations of being linked to the incel community/ incel culture. I would like to clarify a few things:

I am a queer woman.

I do NOT support Andrew Tate or any other incels and I think they're completely deplorable and incredibly misogynistic and violent.

I am an ally to the trans community and if I have ever unknowingly made transphobic comments, I deeply apologise, as I would never intentionally do so. I love and support my trans siblings, and believe wholeheartedly in trans rights.

I am also not homophobic. I'm really concerned as to where these accusations have come from when they're blatantly untrue.

Please boost this to get the word out there. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Trans rights are human rights. None of us are free until we are all free. Free Palestine, Sudan, Congo and anywhere else facing mass oppression. To my fellow women: you are strong, worthy and amazing beings, the patriarchy be damned, and to my fellow queer people: I see you, I support you and I love you.

When humanity stops meaning people

Ok. So every day I give birth to a new post, being sure that this one is DEFINITELY the last. And here we are. The thing is, I have been exchanging comments with people in the fandom, and they made me realize what I really dislike in the finale. Before that, I could not quite put my finger on it.

I know this will probably be a controversial take. Sorry if it is. As always, feel free to ignore it.

I realized that I hate what was done to humanity in Season 3. The real humanity, with real people behind it, was replaced by the concept of humanity with true free will ("humanity" from now on). Satan, am I clear? It replaces real, messy individuals with a kind of idealized category. And this "humanity" is presented as inherently more valuable than everything else. This replacement is even literally there. People are wiped out, and "humanity" is promised in the new universe.

Season 1 celebrated humanity exactly the way I like it. You know, with all its beauty, but also its messiness and flaws, and definitely without making it superior or the only thing that matters.

Season 3 frames "humanity" as inherently more valuable than everything else. As if angels and demons are not even worth considering because they are not human, so they can simply be removed from existence. Someone could argue that the angels and demons were abusers, which justifies getting rid of them, but that point did not really land for me, especially with so many likeable characters. Even in the book, demons as a whole are not framed as true abusers. Sure, there are ones like Hastur who are, but there are plenty of human versions of Hastur out there too. It is emphasized that many of the other demons are not actually interested in harming humans. They are just doing their shitty job. And one could try to make them aware that they can refuse to do it, rather than wiping them out.

Generally, this superiority of "humanity" not only bothers me because it is completely detached from, well, humans. It can be used by very real people to justify animal cruelty, for example. Moreover, minorities and outsiders are often treated as a threat to "humanity", and then harming or excluding them from society suddenly becomes acceptable too.

THE GOOD PLACE | 3.05, "Jeremy Bearimy"

kedreeva

In the beginning of The Good Place, Michael doesn't know that no one has gotten into the Good Place in over 500 years. Arguably he doesn't know every single person who got into the Bad Place, or he would have figured out EVERYONE is there, but it's so funny to me when Eleanor asks who is in the Bad Place that would surprise her and without hesitation, Michael tells her "every US president except Lincoln," which implies he's either straight lying to her (in a situation where he's trying to convince her this is real, saying Lincoln is in the Bad Place might give it away? Saying he is in the good place makes it more believable? He had to pick one (1) person to exclude to make the rest believable and chose Lincoln?), or he doesn't THINK he's lying to her. The latter is infinitely funnier to me. He's either never seen Lincoln, or Lincoln isn't in the Bad Place.

And I can't tell which is funnier: that he did indeed go to the Bad Place but escaped, or that he went to the Good Place, but there's no record of it. No one knows where he is, just that he's not in their place.

That, or he never died.

having aphantasia as a writer IS kind of funny because i’ll be like “uuijggghhHn i GUESS there can be a couch. with a pattern. and something on the wall. and the character is wearing clothes. also with a pattern. yeah yeah now we’re getting somewhere”

and this all takes eons to write and my scenes still look like this

THE GOOD PLACE 2.06 — The Trolley Problem

tired-fandom-ndn

I once saw a post from someone saying that they stopped watching The Good Place because the point system is so obviously corrupt and useless with no room to change and no effort to fix it and it's like. Bud, if you just finished the show then you would know that all of this is recognized and discussed and it ends with the entire system being reworked with a specific focus on giving people room to change and improve. I think about that post a lot.

the thing to remember about Chidi Anagonye is that making decisions makes his stomach hurt and more than 800 separate (by his own definition) versions of him make the same decision to help Eleanor every single time no matter how hard it is and no matter how much it hurts. And yes they are extremely in love but crucially they are NOT soulmates. statistically they don’t usually even think they are. their love is built. it is forged in fire. and yet he chooses. CHOOSES. to help her before all that even happens. every single time.
