You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light
This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but here it goes anyways. A lot of you are making up people to be mad at.
Let's take sinners for example. There is a white guy with like 2 lines exclusively about hating minorities in this movie. His name is not Ray, it's Bert (I had to look that up on imdb), he is the kkk-vampire and not a single person on earth is writing self-insert fic about this guy. They are writing self-insert fic about the central antagonist, who is also a vampire. Girls like villains, what else is new.
And sure, maybe I am being to literal here, but yelling at people that they are liking a thing in the wrong way is just the fastest way to kill a fandom. The underlying things this post is pointing at are real and they do exist. Societal beauty standards center white people, a lot of (white) people have are harder time sympathising with people of color. But those things are not fandom problems. They are just general problems of living in white supremacist society and they show up in all facets of or society including fandom. But you are not gonna fix them by telling people they are somehow bad for liking the sexy vampire.
I really liked Sinners. But if I look at the top text posts for example 4 out of 10 are wank about how people are problematic or racist for the way they like the movie. And to be completely honest, I think that this atmosphere is also a huge factor in why Sinners fandom is not a big as it could be. Which is really fucking sad.
Where am I yelling about “ppl liking things the wrong way”?
Am I “making up a guy to be mad at” if by your own admission you are a fan of a character that fits the hypothetical scenario that I described in the original post? That you brought up, because I didn’t bring up Sinners (2025).
You admit that societal beauty standards favor white people (an odd thing to bring up), and in turn white people have a harder time sympathizing with people of color (a poor excuse for racism), and yet you think this doesn’t factor into fandom? You think white ppl, from the society that you acknowledge has racist biases, will somehow leave those same prejudices when engaging in fandom? You think that the “real world” is a completely separate vacuum from the art that leads to fandom?
“Girls like villains” a very strange, pointedly projective, and dismissive of the main point of the post: racism. You think women of color like racist villains? Or is it just white women? Because that’s what we’re talking about here: racist characters, specifically. With this line of thinking, you put forth that either the women in a fandom, Sinners (2025) by your example, a predominantly Black led piece of media which centers Black women as they’re integral to the story, should categorically like the “sexy vampire” despite the fact that he’s terrorizing Black people throughout the movie just because he’s the villain. Or you put forth that there are no women of color in the Sinners fandom, which would be an odd thing to think given the previous points.
You think that pointing out racism is “killing a fandom” as it brings up things you don’t want to think about, as is described by the original post, that hyperfixating on a racist white character in a piece of media is a reoccurring thing, and that when a Black person (me) or any other person of color points that out; you feel attacked which is clear from your long block of text you’ve added. You need to think about why you feel the need to go on the defensive for a fictional character that represents assimilation and entitlement to Black bodies (a fairly obvious reading of Remmick) and why it’s okay to like him above the rest of the Black cast.
In summary:
Reason #3 is literally just this
Memories were made
being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.
being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.
Every day tumblr users get closer and closer to saying you can only be trans in a god honouring way.
Edit: my problem is with the comparison and trying to rate people's transness and who's more transgressive. If you attempt to turn this into a trans guys vs trans girls post you are missing the point.
Look, I fundamentally do not care about how exactly butch and femme as labels were used "back in the day" and I fundamentally do not give a fuck whatever the newest prescriptivist take that this fresh hell of a webscape has birthed is
"Has butch been used by men? Are men allowed to use the term "butch"?" Motherfucker, I don't care. Butch originally just meant "masculine" and was used for straight dudes. Any queer usage by men or people of any other genders came later. I don't really care when exactly it started being used in a queer sense and I don't care where you draw your arbitrary lines in the sand as to who is allowed to be butch.
Prescriptivism is a blight upon this world rivaled only by all the other fucking brainrot that exclusionists and radfems come up with on a daily basis. Men use "butch" as a label. They identity with it. Trans men, gay men, queer men, bi men, demi-men, intersex men, nonbinary men. Women use "butch" as a label. They identify with it. Trans women, lesbian women, queer women, bi women, demi-women, intersex women, nonbinary women. Nonbinary people use "butch" as a label. They identify with it. Butch is a noun. It can be a whole identity, butch is love and butch is life and butch is our community. And butch is solidarity as well.
Who do you think you are to tell others they are wrong for it? Some of you will say "be gay do crimes" and then turn around and become the volunteer hall monitor "who gets to use this word, queer police" 🤓🤓🤓 you look like this, you're silly, find something better to do like actually protecting our community from fascist agitators who LOVE the shit you're dedicated to right now cause when it all comes down to it: it is divide and conquer all the same.
"this too shall pass" sure but have you considered the fact that i don't like the way it's passing
If "this too" could stop passing like a kidney stone that would be great thanks
If “this too” could stop

that would be great thanks

If you believe trans men are "only" seen as confused girls then you are, more likely than not, willfully ignoring the transmasculine experience. Trans men and mascs have been talking for years and years about how there is more to it than that.
First, there's the ignorance about what being treated as a "confused girl" means. It means being infantilized, it means being institutionalized, it means having your body autonomy stripped from you, it means being put in your place through rape and abuse, it means being property, it means forced to become a wife and mother. Thats what happens when you're a "confused girl".
Second, the "confused girl" stereotype dwindles the more masculine a trans man/masc becomes. Then he's dangerous. He's a predator; here to steal your daughters away to become hysterical, defective, unfuckable things like himself. He's going to take her fertility, her beauty, her ability to contribute to "proper" society. He's invading women's spaces. He's tricking straight women into being lesbians and gay men into being straight. He is past the point of no return; he can no longer be "fixed"; he must be killed.
To ignore these; to assert that trans men and mascs are "only" seen as confused girls, are never seen as predators, is contributing to systemic transmasculine erasure. Do better.
lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post

“Appalachia is not poor, then, but its people are. They rarely own and scarcely benefit from the area’s wealth. Instead large, absentee, corporate land and coal owners do–increasingly multinational conglomerates which also own and deliver much of the rest of the energy of the nation and of the world. In 1965, Dun’s Review of Modern Business wrote, ‘for all their small numbers … these coal royalists hold what may be one of the most lucrative investments in all of America’, while a government-sponsored study also pointed out that despite the War on Poverty, about twice as much capital flowed out of Central Appalachia as into it in 1967 and entered ‘the financial markets centered around New York’ and other metropolitan centres. Not even in the energy boom of the 1970s, did the wealth produced from Appalachia go to its people.”
— John Gaventa, Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence and Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley (p. 35)
