i know this comes as a surprise to some people, but if you call for healing and iām playing ana and there is a wall between us, i canāt fucking heal you
i know this comes as a surprise to some people, but if you call for healing and im playing mercy and i just respawned because you didnāt protect me from genji, i canāt fucking heal you
i know this comes as a surprise to some people, but if you call for healing and im playing lucio and I have healing amped up, I canāt fucking heal you anymore.
Donāt forget that in the past you had fucked up views and had soaked up oppressive ideology, including self directed and that youāve said things or possibly even did things based on those views.
Donāt forget that itās a constant lifelong process to defeat that in yourself and that you arenāt done yet, any more than anyone else.
Donāt lose sight of your issues, past or present or future because you think youāve become ideologically pure. Avoid the trap of self righteousness and hypocrisy
Please donāt lose perspective. Itās important.
Well you put it into words and now Iām crying
When I came out to my aunt, a genuinely supportive person in almost all things, she mistook my gender dysphoria for fatphobic self-hatred. She said, how could I hate my body? I didnāt even know what it looked like. She meant āunder all that fat.ā I knew damn well what my body looked like.
@fumbledeegrumble did you see this? Intersectionality of fatphobia and gender dysphoria.
!!!! I am cis, so Iām not the best authority on issues that people who arenāt cis deal with, but I think this is important to reblog so the issue can get exposure!
@fatphobiabusters
the holy trinity of totally a straight, never saw a woman, never talked to a woman, i like men and only men
Bioware, the company that has literally turned short hair into a stereotype for straight women.

OKAY LETāS TALK ABOUT THE THING
I admit, my gut reaction wasĀ āAh yes, I see they put the tomboy character in a relationship with a character who will probably never be seen again and be utterly irrelevant to larger canon and easily ignored by 90% of the people who actually play the gamesā. But I failed to immediately account for how weād all be SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS and cishet homophobes will be CRYING MASSIVE WHINY BABY TEARS and as such literally anyone who doesnāt care about lore (which, lbr, is a HUGE majority of the people who play the games) will STILL hear about Tracer is canonically queer now.
So I DO really want Heroes Dating, because I want it to be IN THE GAME where the millions of people playing the game will hear it. I WANT TO INTERRUPT THEIR DAY WITH GIRLS OR BOYS FLIRTING IN THE SPAWN ROOM.Ā
But the more I thought about it (and my friends screamed about it) it became clear this isnāt justĀ āthe low hanging fruitā option. Tracer is on the box art, Tracer is on BUSES. Tracer is one of the most visible, recognizable, heavily marketed characters of this series. People may not know say, Junkrat is an Overwatch character if they donāt play the games, but if they seen Overwatch around, heard about it, thought about picking it up, theyāve looked at Tracer.Ā
And now Tracer is a queer woman in a happy relationship with another woman.Ā
But itās way more than just that.Ā
Okay, I know most of yaāll donāt give a shit about Overwatchās professional scene. So let me explain something.
Blizzard is trying really, REALLY, REALLYĀ hard to make Overwatch into a professional, respectable, top-tier, sustainable eSport. Like, they are not doing the quick return shit. They are putting in clear, visible efforts to make Overwatch a long term and well represented eSport that will make eSports itself more visible and viable in America and across the world. Competitions take place in nice looking stages, commentators and players dress professionally, commentators are paid at least competitively, they are setting it up so that players can make a salary (instead of only getting paid when they win). And Overwatch League? Looks like it is intended to operate as a gateway for top tier players to move to the professional scene based entirely on their skills (thus removing some hurdles for PoC or women).
This isnāt necessarily to say no company has ever done anything like this, but itās clearly a massive financial investment for Blizzard in hopes of building up a long term and and ACCESSIBLE international eSports business.
And who is the face of that?
Thatās right folks, itās a queer chick.
This not the only reason I was screaming and fist pumping yesterday but itās a big part of it. A AAA title thatās well on its way to becoming a major part of eSports and doing a very good job of holding its audience just made a queer woman the face of their franchise. How crazy and amazing is that?
I'm really interested in learning about LGBT history now and was wondering if you had any good documentary recs?
oh my god i am obsessed with lgbt history too! hereās a list of some i myself have seen and enjoyed - i bolded my absolute favourites, in case you wanted maybe a recommendation of where to start! :D
the celluloid closet (1995) - incredible doc about lgbt representation in the media starting all the way from 1900 to 1995, including censorship and the bury your gays trope.
paris is burning (1990) - critically lauded classic must-watch doc about drag balls and q*eer culture and the lgbt people of color who created it.
the times of harvey milk (1984) -Ā A documentary of the successful career and assassination of San Franciscoās first elected gay councilor. there is also the excellent Milk (2008), which is a drama film version directed by q-cinema veteran Gus van Sant.
we were here (2011) - all about the arrival and impact of the AIDS epidemic and how the lgbt community dealt with it.
before stonewall (1984) - a doc in which they use interviews and clips to surmise what lgbt culture was like before the iconic stonewall inn and how stonewall came into fruitation.
the case against 8 - behind-the-scenes look at the case to overturn californiaās ban against same-sex marriage.
for the bible tells me so (2007) - exploring the how religion gives people the excuse to be homophobic/biphobic/transphobic
gay sex in the 70s (2005) - exactly what it says on the tin
ok How to Survive a Plague (2012) is probably the most powerful AIDS documentary iāve seen and, while both are good, it trumps We Were Here by a fucking longshot. i consider the latter aĀ āsofterā retelling of AIDS compared to the former. every young LGBT person should watch this documentary at least once, itās so important.
all of these sound really nice and interesting, but do you have recommendations for movies about lgbt history outside of the US?
Out and Bad: Londonās LGBT Dancehall Scene (2015)Ā is a documentary challenging the homophobic image of Jamaican dancehall music by following the lives of LGBT Jamaican immigrants in the UK.
Chris & Don: A Love Story (2008) is about Christopher Isherwood (whose novels and stories about Wiemar Germany formed the basis for the musical and film Cabaret)Ā and his long-term partner Don Bachardy.
Dancing In Dulais is about LGSM (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) and their work with a mining community in Wales. Here, hereĀ and here are some more segments and panelsĀ about the cause.
Freeheld (2007) is an Oscar winning documentary - about a terminally ill gay woman fighting for her partnerās right to her pension - that was later used as the basis for the film of the same name starring Ellen Page and Julianne Moore - from what Iāve heard, the documentary deserves a lot more merit than the film.
Tongues Untied (1989) is a documentary consisting of a series of stories about the intersections of Black and gay identity, and the bonus DVD includes interviews with an HIV/AIDS activist and a spoken word artist.
Paris Was a Woman (1996) is about LBPQ women living in Paris in the 1920ā²s, seeking freedom and liberation between the two world wars.
To Be Takei (2014) tells the story of George Takeiās (of Star Trek fame)Ā life, family, activism and career.
The Screaming Queens: The Riot at Comptonās Cafeteria (2005)Ā tells the story of an act of resistance by transgender women, drag queens and their allies in San Francisco, following harassment by the cafeteria staff and later the police.
Thank you, these all sound really interesting!
