*gay panic*

*clears throat*

so there’s this girl who happens to be my best friend and i may or may not like her kinda sorta (let’s say im like 90% sure)

AND

she’s like closer to me than most of her friends i think???? but that makes sense because we’re best friends right. but we also always make eachother little gifts (nothing big most of the time like sometimes it’s just a drawing or the other’s fav character from a fandom yk) which i know she doesn’t do with most (any?) of her friends.

BUT I ALSO THINK SHES STRAIGHT OR SHE COULD JUST BE CLOSETED IDK 🤷‍♀️ but ik she liked a guy last june (??? idk honestly life passed my by). i dunno if she still likes him or likes someone to this day

anyways-

idk what to think of that. help. *gay panic*

[emmidemi]

Girl, I feel the same way about one of my friends, one time I was at her house and we were watching pjo together (she hadn't seen and I kept quoting lines but that's irrelevant) and she has a twin size bed and I was like, "ahhhhhhh I'm confused I don't even know if I'm bi or lesbian or straight but I also think she's cute ahhhhhh" also I made an entire post about this a little while ago idk when though

[tired-shipper]

I ask that anyone who has a problem with the casting of ANY of the pjo show kids, block me please. Thank you. I do not wish to argue and/or hear your absolutely ridiculous comments about them.

[nemothebookfish]

Unpopular opinion I fear (at least with the majority of the fandom) but I'd rather have two more books of kotlc than one rushed one. I love this series too much and I hate the fact ppl are trying to force Shannon to 'wrap it up' before it's ready. Like do you not care???

[emmidemi]

exactly, like you may want it but you don't have to act like that one spoiled brat from willy Wonka whose name I forget. Personally, I'm super excited, but I'd rather have one book be super well written over having two books rushed. Plus, just go on quotev, wattpad or Ao3! There's tons of fanfics!

[seventinywyvernsinatrenchcoat]

That would be Veruca Salt, I believe.

[emmidemi]

oh yeah, it is, thanks

[not100bees]

People say that the rest of the internet is Tumblr on a time delay but my God sometimes it really does hit you.

[emmidemi]

Its still used as an insult, mostly by guys. They will say something like, "oh my god [insert name], you're so gay!"

PSA: AI EDITING POC TO BE WHITE IS OFFENSIVE AND WEIRD

So this isn’t really musical related, but this account gets more reach than my other ones so I figured I’d make it here.

Yesterday I came across a Percy Jackson edit of Percy and Annabeth, but something seemed off.

For some reason I couldn’t find this exact scene, but THIS is what they actually look like

THEY EDITED A BLACK GIRL TO BE WHITE

Wanna see something even worse?

This is the ACTUAL SCENE

This creator made the “effort” of editing (using AI) to make these edits, all in the name of “Book accuracy”.

It is true, in the books Annabeth is a white blonde girl, and Luke is a white blonde guy, but wanting book accuracy is not an excuse to edit REAL PEOPLE to be white. The characters may not be real, but the actors very much so are, and these edits erase everything that makes them who they are.

The comments on these edits say things like “This is what Disney took from us!” “White people don’t get representation anymore.” “If the show looked like this I’d actually watch it” and any comment countering gets a million responses agreeing with the OP.

Fun fact: You don’t need to watch the show! No one is making you watch it, and it’s okay to prefer the books! There’s nothing wrong with that, the issue is that you’re erasing actual POC and using AI to make this slop instead of editing different actors or using fanart to make an edit like literally everyone else does.

After being casted, Leah (Annabeth) received death threats. A child received death threats because people didn’t agree with her casting, this is 100% serious.

Regardless of how you feel about the show or its casting, editing poc to be white is despicable and it’s awful to see how many people don’t see an issue with this

[emmidemi]

Exactly, like personally, I would like for whoever plays Rachel to have red, preferably curly, hair. But if she doesn't, I'll be a bit sad, but I'll still watch the show!

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[spellscarred]

Bro, blocking someone and then using their tag like this is, all offence, weak as fuck. Like all you had to say was, na bro I don't promote pedo protags on this here blog, because I wholly agree with the premise of your argument given contexts (i.e., writing abusive relationships to show the evils, great; writing abusive relationships to show the romance, yikes).

This response is so, so comically shitty within the context of that tag, oh my god.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[blackheartbiohazards]

"Censorship of some topics in fiction and art is good and I would be happy if it were to be enacted in a way I approved of"

and

"some things should be banned from ever being written or read about in fiction"

are both authoritarian viewpoints to hold and express, even if you don't have the power to enact them.

If you hold these viewpoints you are holding authoritarian viewpoints.

[averageidiotenby]

DUDE IT’S PEDO FICS EVERYBODY THINKS THEY’RE NASTY

[blackheartbiohazards]

Let me explain this to you in simple terms.

Something being nasty is not a good reason to ban fiction about it.

If we accept that "something being nasty is a good reason to bad fiction about it" then we give a foot in the door for all the people who truly, genuinely believe that queer people are nasty to ban all queer literature.

This is not about defending bad people this is about defending the freedom of good people from tyranny, you moron.

[kawaii-pigeon]

I think if you take it to its logical extreme. Say, banning people from writing stories of sexual abuse. That could then be said "well ANY talk about sexual abuse is bad."

And from that, you could ban books that talk about it irl. Or books like how to recover after being abuse. If its not something to be discussed AT ALL.

[plague-of-insomnia]

The fact that I’ve seen this post in some form on my dash like 100x and each time there’s new idiots who do not get that you can’t have *some* censorship.

Either you’re for it or you aren’t.

The moment you agree that something should never, ever exist in fiction is the moment that anything can be banned.

Remember a while back how Tumblr banned a bunch of tags, including many popular innocuous ones that even people who are for censorship used and were upset about?

When censorship happens, stuff YOU like can and will be banned. That’s how it works.

Remember how a bunch of people had their accounts terminated here only last year for writing about their own sexual abuse?

When you ban “pedo” topics, say, any talk of child sexual abuse in any form, that means people can no longer write about their own experiences. It means people cannot educate others so they can learn how to protect themselves or get help from these situations.

Censorship is authoritarian. Full stop.

Even if “everyone” agrees something is “gross” and “shouldn’t exist,” that does not fucking matter.

Do you know who generally believes queer people are gross and shouldn’t exist??

The same people who are banning books left and right solely because they have queer characters or relationships.

The same people who attack and kill queer folk for simply exisiting.

This is not just some fandom matter or a case of being chronically online.

Protecting freedom of expression is essential, and if you do not get that, I don’t know what to say to you.

[scientia-rex]

And the people who keep bringing up child sex abuse as a reason for censorship are doing it very specifically because everyone feels like then they HAVE to agree with the person in favor of censorship.

It’s not that there isn’t widespread societal agreement on this. It’s that they want you backed into a rhetorical corner where you feel compelled to agree with them.

[ruffboi-mags]

Also, like, we KNOW how this shit shakes out in fandom because it's happened before.

In 2007, Livejournal capitulated to the "pedophilia and sex crimes!" cries of (hate group) Warriors 4 Innocence, and you know what communities got shut down? Slashfic communities. Sexual assault survivor support communities. Authors who'd written non-smut m/m fic even got caught up in it. It was DEVASTATING to fandom spaces. I think pretty much everyone knew at least one person whose account was literally DELETED, or were a member of a community that was wiped off the map because they were considerate enough to include topics like "sexual assault" or "BDSM" in the profiles under the badly-named category of "interests" to indicate that posts on said blogs or communities may include discussion of things like that. Even if it was for a SUPPORT group. And it was because a group of religious bigots came to LJ and said essentially "EVERYONE thinks it's gross and that it's promoting CSA, we should ban it."

Like, strikethrough and boldthrough were a large part of what propelled AO3 out of a more unfocused conversation on one person's blog about hosting a site INTENDED for fandom content, into being an actual archive and nonprofit. And it's a large part of why you won't find AO3 banning topics that you find "gross".

Censorship is authoritarian and it will ALWAYS have more collateral damage than you can imagine.

[nyxelestia]

Going to add that fiction which had sexual abuse and communities which played around with it as a writing topic are the very things that protected me from irl sexual abuse when I was a teenager. I was in a dicey situation, and realized that while my situation did not match up to any of the superficial or textbook cases mentioned in passing (if at all) through school, it matched up a LOT to what I'd learned about irl sexual abuse through works of fiction and the rhetoric of my communities. I got out of that situation and dodged what was, in retrospect, one hell of a nasty bullet. If it hadn't been for that "nasty" fiction and those "nasty" communities, I would very likely have been abused, and subject to further violence spiraling out from that abuse.

[benjis-house-boat]

you can’t have *some* censorship.

[the-real-seebs]

Yup! It really is, in fact, pretty much that simple:

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

[emmidemi]

it's literally the pedo fanfic writers that need to be blocked and banned, and if anyone says something like, "but they're just exploring their passion!" Well ew, their "passion" is disgusting.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

[libanezink]

These faces have been and will be in my mind all month, and likely they will never leave. Worse even, there will likely be more added. To artists and those of us who can speak up, we NEED to speak up—we are as much a part of this world and society as everyone else, and we can create things that can do even just a little good/reflection/solidarity. I’m so angry, which only means I’m NOT going to stop speaking out and doing what I can to remind people that this is so wrong and evil. Abolish ICE!!!
