reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
Have you ever noticed how straight woman tend to romanticize yaoi, and completely ignore yuri? Yuri is literally so underrepresented in fandoms and as a lesbian it kills me.
Also the obsession straight woman have with gay men is lowkey weird, reminds me of straight men wanting to 'turn lesbiand straight.'
then YOU write more yuri. I never say “yuri is bad”. all I say is that I enjoy yaoi, and therefore I read, write and talk about yaoi on my own blog.
if you like yuri, then YOU read, write and talk about yuri. nobody is stopping you.
I am a cis woman, and I am obsessed with my mlm ship — because that’s my passion and my source of comfort. I write because I love my mlm ship, and because these fictional men make me happy (and no, I don’t want them straight, I want them gay and in love with each other). I am not going to apologize for doing whatever makes ME happy for myself and my own enjoyment. I am not here for a stranger’s approval. sorry if you find it weird I guess? I literally don’t know who you are, and a stranger’s opinion is not something I care about. especially when they come into MY house and start telling me what I should or should not do and enjoy.
I’ll continue reading, writing, enjoying and talking about yoai. and you can’t stop me.
again, fanfiction is not an act of activism. do whatever makes you happy, whatever turns you on, instead of trying to shame others for enjoying the thing they enjoy instead of the thing you enjoy.
I support every single thing that is wrong and morally messed up in fiction. I support people’s rights and freedom to create and consume whatever they want as long as they’re not harming anyone in real life. I support art that portrays topics that are taboo, shocking, disgusting. I support fanfics that make people feel sick and disgusted.
and if you think me supporting those taboo things in fiction—because I’m mature enough to understand fiction is not reality, thoughtcrimes are not real, censorship is a fascist tool, and people should have the rights and freedom to do whatever they want when they’re not harming anyone in real life—means “I condone those taboo things in real life, because I refuse to harass people for enjoying taboo fiction”, then you’re either dumb or a bully who wants to harass innocent people over fiction in order to support censorship and fascism and feel morally superior. but you’re really just either dumb or a fascist apologist lol
with all that said, I will go write my dark non-con fic now 😌 #torturing a fictional character is self-care to me
there are tropes that make me uncomfortable. so what I do is that I avoid these tropes. but I will never shame or harass people who enjoy them because what fictional things a stranger likes is literally none of my business, especially when they’re not harming anyone in real life.
so by “support” I mean I think people have the rights to create and consume whatever they want. I may hate the things they enjoy, but I will always defend their rights to exist without being censored.
initially I didn’t think “letting people do whatever they want, avoiding a certain topic while defending its rights to exist” meant I supported it when all I did was “not care about it but would defend it as well as every other thing in fiction”. but if some people want to say this means I support it then I support it.
I will still avoid certain tropes that make me uncomfortable. but even though I avoid them because I personally hate them, I will support and defend their rights to exist.
Did you know that it was prohibited in North Korea for their citizens to dye their hair (anybody who violated the rule would be punished) and it was also a strict rule that everybody must wake up before 6 AM everyday?

No, I did not know this

"North Korea has added the “rooster hairstyle” and blouses with see-through sleeves to its banned fashion list, saying they “obscure the image of a socialist system,” sources inside the country said.
Violators face up to six months of labor sentences, the sources told Radio Free Asia.
The new regulations were detailed in a video lecture shown to people, with hairstyle violators forced to shave their heads, a resident of the northeastern province of North Hamgyong told RFA Korean on condition of anonymity for security reasons.
The bans are the latest to target the fashion choices of the North Korean people, and join a long list of other prohibited clothing that includes sleeveless shirts, jeans, hair dye, non-creased pants, T-shirts with foreign lettering, shoulder bags, and specifically for women, hair below the waist, shorts and figure-hugging tops."

Off-limits fashion items also include jeans, dyed hair and even shoulder bags.
I don't think it's "a law" that everyone must wake up before 6 AM but life there starts super early and " the regime makes it practically impossible not to be awake by then."
"In the capital city of Pyongyang, a system of city-wide propaganda loudspeakers plays a deeply unsettling, melancholic song called "Where Are You, Dear General?" at exactly 6:00 AM every single morning. It blares across the entire city from the clock tower of the main railway station, serving as a massive, un-turn-offable collective alarm clock."
