Funny how calling timothee a fuckboy is so wrong, but writing how timothee is a sub and fucking a married man is totally fine... you really just seem to be upset with the insinuation that timothee sleeps with women

Hello, Anon:

It’s been an entertaining morning watching you and your cohorts twist yourselves into pretzels trying to convince me that I’m wrong.

Kindly please direct me to the posts in my blog where I say any of those things.

I choose not to place any specific labels on Timmy because I don’t know him and know nothing about his private life, and who he chooses to his sleep with is immaterial to me.

I know that many of my mutuals disagree with my viewpoint, and yet they are gracious and generous enough to allow me to hold my own opinions. We can peacefully co-exist on the same ship, even if we come from different ports of call.

But I can only ever speak for myself. I don’t represent anyone’s viewpoint but my own.

And I’m not upset by that insinuation at all, Anon. If that’s his truth, then so be it.

But I am flabbergasted that any grown adult would have the audacity to call someone, anyone, a fuckboy in public, without the expectation of backlash, because it’s rude, disrespectful, and potentially harmful to the image Timothée Chalamet has worked so hard to build. It insults his artistry and dedication to his craft to objectify him in this way, imho, and can only ever present him in a negative light, despite your insistence that it’s not a slur.

His teen fans on Instagram and Twitter might love it, but grown adult investors with deep pockets funding his future projects — you know, his employers — might not see it that way. And as we know all too well, all it takes is one whiff of scandal to destroy a blossoming career.

This is why this conversation is important, and why we must be mindful of the language that we use about each other, even celebrities, on social media. They have rights too. If we’ve learned nothing else in the last nine months, it’s that words have the power to influence people’s perceptions, for better or worse. The wrong words can literally destroy someone’s life.

But many of you are missing my point entirely, choosing instead to attack me from some misplaced moral high ground, because it’s easier than addressing the real issue, which is that you can’t get any straighter than a fuckboy, am I right?

Thanks for your comment. 😐

HHHH fuckboy complaining about women being  “complicated” and “unreasonable”

maybe you just hang out with shit people. maybe you are a shit person yourself.

It isn't homophobia to point out the FANDOM has a tendency to call him a twink. I know I know, this is your blog and you don't speak for the entire fandom, but you opened yourself up to the discussion and you are PART of the fandom that has allowed this type of behaviour.

Hello, Anon:

If I knew who was in charge around here, maybe I could direct you to them and they can help you sort out this issue. I’m apparently doing a terrible job of explaining myself since all y’all keep coming back here.

I don’t tend to be so all or nothing about things, so I understand that in order to be here in the first place, I must accept that not everyone will agree with me, nor I with them. We somehow find a way to coexist, because our fundamental guiding principles and beliefs are still the same. That’s how mature, rational adults can get along with each other, despite our differences of opinion.

They let me stay, in spite of myself, Anon. With no need to attack me for it, how amazing is that? 💖😘🙏

A beautiful love story is what brought us together, and love is what unites us still, even after everything that’s happened, is happening, or will happen. ✨💙💚✨

That’s all that ever really matters. ❤️🧿💪

Thanks for your comment.

“Don't call him a fuckboy because he may not see himself in that way, but the fandom can call him a twink all day long and that's okay? See where the problem is? You are fine with the slurs when it serves your gay agenda. “ So anon just said I AM HOMOPHOBIC. since when is twink a slur? it’s common nomenclature/slang in the community… it might be a slur to you if you’re a bigot and the idea of a queer man upsets you. a queer timmy even more….

Hello, Anon:

This entire discussion boils down to homophobia, imho.

That is the real issue.

Thanks for your comment. 💜😊

The origin of fuckboy is problematic for sure, but type fuckboy into Twitter search and you’ll se loads of guys doing sexy faces calling themselves fuckboys, you’ll see women talking about «fuckboy fit» when describing clothing they find sexy on a man or about «fuckboy vibes» when their favourite male celeb is looking sexy/mysterious. It is dishonest to imply that the term is solely used as a slur today.

Hello, Anon:

In a professional setting, it would still be considered a derogatory word.

What’s dishonest about avoiding disrespectful vulgarities when speaking about total strangers in a public forum? Unless Timmy is your personal friend, and said he likes to be called a fuckboy, I would hesitate to put any sort of label on him that would imply anything negative about him to anyone who may be unfamiliar with the non-standard usage of that label.

I understand that the usage to which you are referring is an addition to the definition. I still do not agree with it in this context, because it does not REPLACE the generally accepted definition of the word, and its original derogatory meaning has not changed. It’s still an insult, no matter how you want to slice, dice, and validate it.

That’s all I’m saying.

Thanks for your comment. 📚🔍

Is it important to remind people that Timmy's parents might not be upset if they happen to see some Charmie fanart, as they both support the lgbtqia community? It's interesting to remember Timmy describing his father's reaction to watching cmbyn as well. But at this point in Timmy's career, we already know that: the only sexual orientation for him is STRAIGHT. He can only have sex with women under the age of 20 (even though he is 25). NEVER be called a twink or have never questioned his sexuality, after all being a twink is an abomination (including his agent who openly communicates with a homophobic fan page could be supports this verse) and he only came into the world to please women. And not least: he is a fuckboy and ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS talked about it to the four corners of the world (we weren't Just Lucky enough to see him talking this)! Just imagine comparing the term fuckboy to blatant homophobia in this fandom, including coming from some ex Charmies (or some people who called themselves superior a charmie), which is impressive.

Hello, Anon:

Of course, because what could be straighter than a womanizing fuckboy? See? It’s so positive!

I think Timmy’s parents would support Timmy in whatever he choices he makes, no matter what. Unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t work that way. This how we find ourselves having these horrid discussions about the private details of someone’s personal life blasted all over the internet, and mostly to sell movie tickets.

It’s been a fascinating, thought-provoking day, to say the least. Plenty of food for thought, Anon.

Thanks for your insight. 😊❤️🧿

To my power structure Anon:

I accidentally deleted your ask.

So I’ll do my best to answer your ask with what my feeble, antediluvian mind can manage to remember, since some of you seem to think that I’m 137 years old.

Google the big words you don’t understand. There’s no shame in expanding one’s vocabulary.

So you wouldn’t call your boss a fuckboy because that’s a different power structure, but you would call a friend that. I was not aware that Timothée Chalamet was your friend, lucky you!

So can you kindly please ask Timmy for us if he wants to be called a fuckboy, since you’re on an equal playing field and apparently friends?

“It’s not the same thing and you know it.”

I’m not inflating, conflating, or manipulating anything to fit a preferred narrative. That seems to be your MO, Anon. Project much?

The literal any-dictionary-you-can-find-it-in definition of a fuckboy is inherently derogatory. It takes years and years before one acceptable standard definition of a word can be replaced by an entirely new one. Centuries even, according to the linguistics expert I consulted with on the matter this morning.

So check back with me in another hundred years or so, when I’m 237 years old, so I can apologize to you for saying that calling someone a fuckboy is rude and disrespectful.

Thanks for your comment. 🙃

I’m seeing half naked and naked manips of Timmy on the tl and you guys are complaining that someone called him a fuckboy? You are really something. Fetishising him is only ok in a gay context, got it.

Hello, Anon:

I’M “something”? You surely must have mistaken me for someone else.

I avoid reblogging most of those manips because it presumes something about the subjects that they’ve not voiced themselves in any direct and specific way. Again, theirs is not my story to tell.

While it’s fun to fantasize, I draw the line at posting or reblogging anything that looks like an actual invasion of anyone’s privacy. It’s yet another thing that could get me tossed out of this fandom, Anon. Perhaps you don’t know me well enough to know that I’m sort of an outlier in the Charmiesphere, in that regard.

I invite you to review my blog. If there’s anything there that reflects what you’ve described, I will consider removing it. I may occasionally reblog something that skirts those limits to support a mutual, but it’s not my scene, generally speaking.

Thanks for your comment. 🧑‍🎨🖌🤡🤘😜
