anyone at GDQ: trans rights!

the entire crowd, every time: WOOOO!!!!! YEAH!!!!

[mamoru]

many years ago, games done quick had a problem. there were trans people in the community, and there were a lot of transphobes in the community. for a while there, trans members of the community got treated like shit. not by everyone, of course, but by enough people that it was clearly a culture problem, and it was getting BAD. (and frankly, transphobia was far from the only issue.)

so games done quick had a decision to make: keep things how they were, or fundamentally change the community's culture and kick out anyone who refused to stop being an asshole.

they chose to switch things up, and things changed IMMENSELY. they leaned into being trans positive, implemented pronoun tags for runners and staff, and started banning people who sought to make trans people feel unwelcome in the community.

since then, there have been a ton more trans speedrunners. long-time speedrunners have since come out, and trans rights are constantly celebrated with even more casual-ness than the transphobic vitriol that used to be spewed at trans people.

games done quick even chose to move their events out of florida (and eat the cost of doing so) in part because of transphobic laws that could endanger trans members of the community.

GDQ has come such a long way, and has fundamentally transformed itself into a much more kind and welcoming community. for everyone.

i think the important thing to understand is that sexual violence is an extension of violence, not sex

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.

🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.

🔹Don't like? Don't read.

-a writer's only job is to tell their story. they have no responsibility to you for how it makes you feel. you chose to consume the story. so those are your feelings that you need to take ownership of.

-discomfort is not the same as harm and acclimating yourself via fiction to strongly unpleasant emotions such as sorrow, indignation, and disgust will make you stronger and healthier

-however if you are repeatedly triggering yourself by engaging with media that makes you miserable you should probably recognize that it's up to you to stop hurting yourself

I had to find a picture of this 2017 article again because it's just so iconic.

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:

DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.

It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.

Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

Reactionary "communists" who give a shit about culture war BS and think the reason we don't have socialism is because of too many trans freaks with blue hair and pronouns being communists and not enough respectable white men in suits are actually some of the most pathetic creatures alive. Imagine reading Marx and Lenin and coming out the other side thinking the thing *really* holding the working class back is people not dressing correctly. Please for the love of God give up your fucking pretense of being any sort of materialist and go join the fascists who have nothing to offer but the aestheticization of politics since that's desperately what you want to be deep down.

[icy41777]

earlier, i took a nap after drinking some of that mango arizona and had a dream about this fictional tokusatsu series called "trainassential" (pronounced "train essential"). the show was centered around this tall woman named cecilia, a magical train conductor that could also turn into a train!! she's also supposed to have a masked rider-esque form, but i don't remember that far... also, the show is supposed to be like the yuri version of bravern (???) not really sure what's up with that

[msadequate]

This, too, is yuri.

Mad with boop power! I felt inspired.
