Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.
And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.
It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you
It’s called economía del lenguaje.
It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.
Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.
Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.
“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”
Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?
I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.
queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid
every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.
I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.
baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit
every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.
terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.
we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.
I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.
It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.
The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.
They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re allowed to live.
two of the three werent passing that class anyway
cracking myself up thinking about the movement towards simplified forms in cave paintings
grug: grug must paint every hair on buffalo in realistic detail
thog: grug can chill out, audience know what buffalo look like. just do one line like thog
thog: cave painting world no longer look for photorealism. expression of form and movement is new frontier
grug: but then how will grug demonstrate high level of skill? grug have art degree
thog: any caveman represent buffalo as it is. grug must represent what it means to grug
grug: hm. this will challenge grug. but grug enjoy rising to occasion
in homestuck made this world, a podcast where two media academics do a legit critical reading of homestuck, one of the hosts will occasionally interrupt by saying ‘hey, hold on a second. i just realized something. none of this is real. andrew hussie made this all up’ and not only is it very funny but it is also a fantastic little voice to have in your head when people try to drag your criticisms of a text down into the diegetic level. like. no that reason you just gave me isnt why that happened. that happened because a guy made it all up and then wrote it down actually. anyway,
e.g. in the most recent episode they were discussing some author commentary where hussie gives a convoluted metaphysical description of why gamzee does X and the host is like, ‘okay, counterpoint: gamzee didn’t do that. he didn’t do anything because he’s not real and andrew hussie made him up and then wrote about him doing things’ and not to be reductive but cultivating a little shoulder angel that says this to you is unironically one of the healthiest things you can possibly do for your critical engagement with literally any text
Begging everyone to listen to Homestuck Made this World. I have the damn word blocked on Tumblr and I still find the podcast fascinating.
if shes your girl then why have i slowly been replacing her parts until there’s nothing left of her original body? is she then still your girl?
They ship of theseus’d my girl
Can’t have shit in Detroit
this actually perfectly demonstrates the transitive property of memes: you can replace a meme piece by piece until it only structurally resembles the original, and it is, in fact, the same meme.
call that the meme of theseus thesis
tumblrites can have a little intertextuality as a treat
my naym is ship and when i’m broke the broken part from me they toke
replace the part had been the plan but in the morn hand door car man
*me shoving transitive properties into my purse* sorry, I have to go
We owe the reddit refugees an apology for making them see posts like this
no we don’t this shit is enrichment in their new enclosure
*slaps roof of Tumblr* This baby can fit so many rare vintages, you just have to go deep enough, there are some great memes in the cellar, come see
fairly stoned fillin my partner's water cup with abandon, gazin into the middle distance, not rememberin to leave room for the ice atall, archimedes himself touches my shoulder, whispers in my ear "the displacement, my child!" & blesses me with a simple understandin of fluid mechanics just in time
