Ok, you know how I say that popplio HAS to be a trans girl because of her evolutionary line?

cute but awkward “boy” –> girl trying on dresses and makeup and really coming into herself – > trans woman goddess

(Also every got pissed that Popplio had 87% chance to be male or something like that)

well I just found out that a really early form of hrt was called premarin?

Premarin? Primarina?

Popplio is a canon trans girl and I don’t care what you say.

People who say “fight hate with love” have clearly never actually fought hate.

“❤ these photos of Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer dressed as their characters in Fox 2000’s “Hidden Figures”! In the film, which will tell the true story of the African American women mathematicians who were behind one of NASA’s first successful space missions, Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, Monáe as Mary Jackson, and Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan. We can’t wait for this trailblazing trio to hit the big screen next January!”

As seen on the Because of Them We Can by Eunique Jones Facebook page

EXCUSE ME, DID YOU JUST SAY THAT TARAJI P. HENSON, JANELLE MONAE AND OCTAVIA SPENCER ARE IN A FEATURE FILM WHERE THEY PORTRAY FAMOUS BLACK WOMEN IN STEM?!?!?

This is my final project for my graphics class. Heavily taken from this Buzzfeed video and these two articles.

I don’t watch alot of LGBT live-action movies and TV so I just found out about the “bury your gays” trope because of what happened in the 100. I’m quite shocked this trope has been a thing for a long time.

LGBT fans deserve better than this kind of treatment.

and they still think we should appreciate just being represented…

Protest Breaks out Against the Lack of Sanders Coverage Outside CNN Studio In Hollywood California, And Not One News Network Is Covering it

On Sunday, more than 1,000 protesters voiced their anger over CNN’s lack of Bernie Sanders coverage and the medias blatant bias towards Hilary Clinton, at the network’s Los Angeles headquarters.

And yet….not one Major or Local new station is covering it….

Protesters gathered together in a peaceful sit in, holding up bernie signs and chanting “Clinton News Network”. Since CNN’s first Democratic presidential debate program this election season, the network has put Clinton front and center and fawned over her performance, even when Sanders gained more followers.

This #BernieBlackout is no coincidence or accident. it could have something to do with the fact that Time Warner Cable owns CNN. Time Warner, of course, has donated over $400,000 to Hillary Clinton’s campaigns.

Despite his last six wins in a row, and the fact that Bernie’s managed to pack arenas with over 27 thousand people, Sanders has been largely ignored by the network. Ironically, CNN continued to run segments on an upcoming travel show even as the large mob chanted outside the building.

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV. REMEMBER: WE ARE HIS MEDIA

Read “The Bury Your Gays Trope Hurts Real Queer People & It Needs to End“ on HerCampus.com.

I’ll never forget what my girlfriend said to me when she and I were talking about LGBTQ+ representation in the media. She said, “I’d never thought beforehand that my mom would have a problem with me coming out. It wasn’t until I read and watched those stories that I started to wonder if maybe, like all those parents, she would kick me out, too.”

This is just one of many problems with LGBTQ+ representation in the media. It’s getting better, and I can’t argue with that. But it’s still not where it needs to be. And people are finally speaking out about that, which makes me both excited and nervous. Excited because maybe, just maybe, it means that people are taking notice of the problem. And nervous because I’m worried it’s just a passing phase, and it won’t sustain the momentum it’s picked up.

Bury Your Gays is a trope that exists across all media. It basically means that LGBTQ+ characters have a tendency to die rather than lead happy lives. In addition to Bury Your Gays, LGBTQ+ characters are often: relegated to the background, fetishized, stereotyped or tokenized, kicked out, abused, beaten and bullied extensively. Queer characters, especially before the 2000s, were likely to be trauma survivors, and to have their trauma closely linked to their queer identity. Their family members shunned them, so they developed mental illnesses and wound up homeless and alone. They committed suicide. They ran away from home.

Why does this matter? I think my girlfriend’s quote just about sums it up. These representations affect real people. They are the only thing we have to cling to when we’re trying to compare our lives to someone else’s. In many situations, such as when a queer person lives in a very small or isolated area, they may not know any other out LGBTQ+ people. The media may be their only solution when it comes to looking for advice and someone to relate to.

this is astounding. it’s the polar opposite of what rick roll is, and yet you still feel rick roll’d because you ended up with something that you didn’t expect and are slightly frustrated by. truly a great twist on a classic meme, we have reached full meta-meme with this.
