I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

Of course they don’t like Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. She’s a grown ass woman with zero love interests who spends the movie saving her dog, casually dismantling a sex trafficking ring while she’s at it, and preaching the importance of being good, not nice or smiley or cheerful but good. I for one adored the movie and I really hope I’ll get to see more of Alcock’s Supergirl she’s now my favorite iteration of her and I love her so dearly.

you are not an endearingly rude and unfriendly cartoon character you need to be nice to people

my radical proposal for making f1 interesting again

- 15 races AT MOST

- real tracks only except we keep monaco but they race in randomly chosen cars from previous seasons, all of them

- we rotate tracks every year but city circuits are banned and so are tilkedromes unless we like them (like cota)

- sprinklers are implemented

- proximity radio between the cars is allowed so that for example lawson and checo can yell at each other freely. if you get voted driver of the day you get one way radio to someone where they can't reply for the next race

- absolutely NO triple headers. if you suggest quadruple headers you are shot on sight

- driver briefings are shown live. it's filmed like the office. tp meetings are also shown live but it's filmed like a horror movie

- if your team fucks up the strategy the head of strategy has to do press after the race instead of whoever's race they ruined (ferrari send both the head and the deputy)

- max has the fastest car every third race but he must start p22. just to see what happens. if there's rain he must give one lap advantage to the rest of the field

- stewards must make decisions within 3 minutes of something happening. they also get to radio the drivers live. fans then get to vote if they agree with the decision or not and teams get to contest after the race only if 90% of votes disagree with the stewards

additions from the crowd which i endorse

- drivers get to honk

- if a driver gets a drive through or stop and go penalty their team has to play clown music through the radio for them while in pitlane

- get rid of testing. fp1 in australia is when everyone figures out if they cooked or not

- rainbow boxes are projected on the track and whoever drives over them gets a mario kart style power up

- cars and drivers for monaco are choosen via a bingo wheel

- mclaren only, every time they do papaya rules they get 0 points in the constructors and next race zac and andrea have to race in place of their drivers

- drivers don't drive in sprints. if you want to participate in a sprint the engineers or a randomly assigned f2 driver has to jump in

casual observers might think that george's and charles's sufferings are unified but in actuality they are different. george's suffering is self-denial in that he is denying himself the catharsis of his own suffering. all is well in the house of mercedes nothing is good but everything is just fine.... whereas charles lives in his own suffering. he is married to it. he takes it on for himself and internalizes it. all is not well and i am suffering because the noble thing to do is live within my agony. and in this way george's suffering is inherently protestant and charles's suffering is inherent catholic send post
