I think of you so often you have no idea.

James Joyce, Ulysses (via wordsnquotes)

Regarding the apparent contradiction between “fiction!=reality” and “representation matters”

Fiction can influence reality, in that real humans can use it to transmit ideas, but fiction does not create reality because humans have free will

Ex: If I write a book about a fictional Utopia and forced everyone to read it, the world will not necessarily turn into that Utopia

Similarly, representation can matter because it’s comforting and inspiring to envision a world where the heroes look like you – but “representation” still implies “a depiction” of a potential reality

Having fictional “possibility models” is important to many people who feel invisible in their society, but it still takes real-world behavior changes to fight racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc

In sum: representation matters AND fiction still does not directly control the real world, thank you for your time
