I hate this idea people have made of people like, fetishizing themselves by creating representation where-ever the fuck they want it.

Like, if a straight dude looked at every female character and said “lesbian” you could possibly consider that his motive is fetishization, but a lesbian calling her favorite characters lesbians is not fetishization. it’s hard to call “Velma from Scooby Doo is a lesbian reblog if you agree” fetishization of lesbians, especially if it’s a post made by a lesbian and reblogged mostly by lesbians

There is actually porn of Velma from Scooby Doo and other female characters, drawn for straight men to get off to. Is that fetishization? Yea!

But honestly I’m so tired of “Autistic people calling characters autistic is fetishizing autism” “Lesbians calling characters lesbians is fetishizing lesbians” “Trans people calling characters trans is fetishizing being trans” because it’s literally just people finding or creating representation and there’s such a difference from things that actually fetishize each of these things. Calling the search for representation fetishization is so blatantly a call to avoid consensual visibility and it’s obnoxious

The sexual nausea associated with all these monster-women helps explain why so many real women have for so long expressed loathing of (or at least anxiety about) their own, inexorably female bodies. The “killing” of oneself into an art object – the pruning and preening, the mirror madness, and concern with odors and aging, with hair which is invariably too curly or too lank, with bodies too thin or too thick – all this testifies to the efforts women have expended not just trying to be angels but trying not to become female monsters.

if your brand of feminism is that oppressive institutions can stay in place as long as a woman is in charge regardless of the less privileged women she exploits… maybe like try harder

not having been able to fully participate in society — usually to an extreme degree in the not-so-distant past — seems like a pretty important part of oppression to me. in fact, i can’t think of a single axis of oppression that does not involve this, and i’m inclined to think it’s a necessary component.

to be lgbt is to be or act with regards to gender in ways that society views as deeply deviant and subversive, and has historically categorized together as a special kind of deviance. according to cis heteropatriarchy, trans people are the wrong gender, and act in wrong gendered ways, relative to their birth assignment, and gay and bi people are attracted to the wrong genders for them and have wrong gendered relations with other people. the common theme of gender here is not an accident; it is not coincidental; it is the basis of lgbt people’s oppression. it is the system whose rules we are punished for breaking.
