#1 cruswhit truther @elegantdeerbaran - Tumblr Blog

just a reminder that this blog is run by someone who:

— is anti ICE & fascism — is pro-choice & feminist — supports trans & queer people — hates generative AI & capitalism — supports immigrants & people of color — is pro-environmentalism & social justice — supports palestine & all other territories unjustly suffering

I know it's more nuanced than this but I think having a hard policy of thinking anyone who genuinely hates one group of queer people for their identity might as well hate all of us and thus I should block any queerphobic queer person I see can do a lot to save you from believing anything exclusionists say.

"bomb that kills all-" "I just don't get bi women bringing their-" "pansexuality isn't a real thing-" "all lesbians-" "trans men really are men bcs they're all misogynistic predators-" "theyfabs-" "pfft aroace people are cringe-" "nonbinary people are actually all-" Instant block. Goodbye. Not listening. It's for both solidarity with your fellow queers AND to protect yourself, because once a person is convinced to hate one group for their immutable traits they can be convinced fairly easily to hate another too, and thus I do not trust them.

Just block these people the second they pop up, they aren't your allies and nothing they have to say is worth listening to.

I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.

It’s still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (I’m not trying to justify, I’m trying to come up with an explanation)

We don't need you coming up with an charitable interpretation.

every time I see someone angry about the popularity of hucklerobby and rabbot etc and how "of COURSE the fandom only focuses on men despite the cast being 70% female!! where are the ships with the WOMEN!!", and then i go on their blog and find them... never interacting with wlw posts or fics or art of the pitt women... an angel loses its wings and dies.

you can be frustrated with the way many fandom spaces are male centered or/and have more fics that are mlm than wlw (or even mlw), but if you turn around and *never* platform or support or interact with the actual wlw or female focused content that there is (and there's a lot of it, and many excellent pitt women focused blogs), and instead spend all your time yelling about mlm ships you hate seeing, then you're doing nothing but virtue signalling and aren't helping anyone- in fact, you're only adding to the male centricity of the space.

you could be actively helping to solve the problem by turning your blog into a space that uplifts the wlw fics and art and analysis, but instead not only are you starving these ships from attention, you're also just spreading hate in another part of fandom that didn't ask for it and doesn't deserve it. I cant count how many times I've gone to peruse the hucklerobby tag and found people angry in there talking about how unfair it is that there's so many works for them and much less for their ships.

being an asshole to other creators won't help you, it will only alienate you from the rest of fandom who don't want to interact with mean people. yes, the great wlw ships in the fandom deserve more love! so instead of acting like bringing other people down will make you rise automatically in response, maybe... actually *give* the wlw fics and art and their creators that love! that's so much better in every way. the wlw blogs and artists are out there waiting for you, go and find them! or even write and draw your own! fandom is created by creation, go and do some of it!

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

Rose was a closeted lesbian to me the second she mentioned all her past gay boyfriends,,, dating almost exclusively closeted gay men? That is a #1 closeted lesbian experience. Also, her being so chill about Shane being gay,,, "It's really okay Shane!! You can come out to Me. Because I am such an understanding Ally™ I don't even really care that you were never sexually attracted to me for the entirety of our relationship. Because of my Allyship™"-> I know what you are 🫵🫵🫵🫵
