Introducing the OHSHC Music Room 3 Mod Team!!

We’re sure you’ve all been curious as to who’s been shuffling around behind the doors of Music Room 3! So without further ado, we are very proud to finally present, the OHSHC Music Room 3 Mod Team!!

ABOUT || FAQ || SCHEDULE || TWITTER

First up, Mod Ary! Ary is currently a moderator for the BNHA Myths zine and have contributed to other zines such as the Eat, Skate, Love, a YOI fanzine, and Sweet Girls, an original zine! Outside of the zine business, they have helped create and manage a small academic publication, do freelance editing, and was a former account manager (never again)!

I really hope you’re all as excited as we are for this zine! Although I’m not very musically adept (unlike the rest of our wonderful mods), I hope to bring our love for both OHSHC and music to you!!

Up next, the artistic Mod Link!

Mod Link also goes by Aaron! Currently a part of BNHA x Disney Zine, though relatively new at zines in general, he has a background in art, writing, graphic design, and of course music! Outside of the zine, he studies a film degree and occasionally makes RPGs. The Mod picture above was drawn by him. (Look at how wonderful it is!)

I’M SO READY, I love Ouran to pieces and even though there’s been no new content it’s so nice to see it holds a special place in so many people’s hearts. Not only am I excited to be working on an Ouran zine, I’m excited that this zine includes MUSIC!!!!

Last but far from least, the musical Nat20! Nat20 is a music therapy student from Seattle (and an amazing musician in general)!! While she may be new to the production and administration side of the zine process, she’s very excited to get into it!

Ouran was the first manga and anime I was ever introduced to, and has been one of my favorites ever since. I love the story’s emphasis on relationships and chosen family, and the way that music and art plays such a large role in many of the characters’ identities. I am so excited to get to incorporate music into this zine, and create a place for artists in the community to collaborate!

Youre gender queer / non-binary and that’s great, but are you content putting « they them » in your bio or are you actively learning how to unlearn the binary? Are you doing The work to stop using it as default or are you subconsciously pushing a binary on others? Are you immediately jumpy seeing sexuality labels that are “contradictory” and “confusing” or are you able to stop and consider those might be for genderfluid and non binary and genderqueer people? Do you force people in either man/non-men or woman/non-woman without understanding that someone can be a man and/or a woman and/or a “non-man” and/or a “non-woman” at the same time? Or do you consider YOUR experiences as being non-binary the only “valid” one?

[queer-merm]

Tbh as a non-biney, using queer sexuality-wise is super important to me because Im not into both men and women, and I dont want to be forced in either “gay” or “het”. i personally (Emphasis on personally) feel these two dont reflect my gender nor my attraction, but queer expresses it so well. It doesn’t feel limiting or, uh, binary.

[queer-merm]

I know some folks get confused when hearing “bi Iesbian” for the first time so I decided to make this!

(Image; a bunch of knights around a table where “bilesbian” is written, their swords drawn to the table, each sword representing a potential use of the label:

-attraction to women and non-binary people

-Bisexual homoromantic (split attraction model)

-homosexual biromantic (split attraction model)

-identifying as lesbian due to trauma with men and not wanting to date them

-people with multiple headmates/ systems/ DID

-people who see their identity as fluid, or potentially prone to change as time goes on

-a lesbian discovering her partner is a trans man, and still eing attracted to him as a man, even though she isn’t attracted to men usually

-very rare attraction to men

-Choosing to go with the historical definition of lesbian (for more info click l!) OR coming from a non-US/UK/anglophone region where “lesbian” is commonly used as an umbrella term

-questionning

-And more!)

Before clowning on this post I heavily suggest you go through this!

ÉDIT: since I keep seeing people trying to “debunk” this or w/ever i want to address a few points:

1-not all non-binary people are comfortable being included in lesbianism. If you are, good for you, but not all of us are. It’s especially uncomfortable when you won’t stfu about men being never included in, but saying “all non-binary people are uwu”. What about non-binary men? Bigender folks? Etc? “Men can never be included” and “all N-bi are included” can NOT coexist as statements.

2- RE the SAM; a) if your sexual/romantic attraction is the same for you, coolio, but you cannot decide for others that it is not. b) not everyone wants to use “homo” for xyz reasons, hence why they go with bi gay/lesbian (nb people might not want to label themselves as “SGA”)

3- a lot of systems say they can 100% “fuse”, it’s not unheard of.

4- It’s an absolute insult to older queers/lesbians to tell them “WELL IT CHANGED! USE /MY/ DEFINITION!!1!”. How fucking dare you try to take their lives experiences from them, ESPECIALLY WHEN, whether you like it or not, the current definition of “no men allowed” is a direct result from political lesbianism and radical feminism [see previous link]. People have every right to reject this/refuse to uphold this history.

5- at the end of the day, people don’t owe u labels that make you comfortable. If someone vibes with lesbian, you can cope with it or keep crying. No one thinks you are secretly into men by the way; I sure am not into men myself, other queer people with funky labels doesn’t change that nor “invalidates” me because I’m not insecure. I also still think defining lesbianism as “long men” rather than “lyes I love women” is stupid.

If your labels are set in stone, if you have never had exceptions, that’s great. But the queer experience is diverse, your experiences with your gender/sexuality do not invalidate others, and vice versa. Take a chill pill, stop trying to split the community appart over the pettiest of bullshit.

Last note; remember you can’t always tell someone’s gender. Someone you may assume is a woman might be a man, someone you may assume is a man might be non-binary. Keep that in mind next time you say “men can never be included!,1!1″

HOPEFULLY THE LAST EDIT:

If this post makes you mad: I don’t give a shit. If you reply, I won’t give a shit.

This post is for people who want to know why someone might use the label in good faith. Nothing more nothing less.  If you want to start a fight go elsewhere. I’ve heard everything you could possibly say and i do not give a shit what some insecure 15 years old with 0 knowledge of queer history, who has been drinking the radf3m lite/lesbian separatism juice on Twitter.hell and tumblr.shit has to say. If you hate the post, block me and move on, don’t waste your saliva here.

This post was made by some bitch who isn’t a man and who has never been attracted to men. Somehow, still, I don’t care how people label themselves. Make of that what you fucking will.

[queer-merm]

If you love women, and “lesbian” is what feels right to describe you, just use it” if lesbian makes you feel happy, go for it! Labels are for you first and foremost to feel comfortable! If lesbian makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, fucking superb you funky little lesbian!

In the same vein, if you personally are uncomfortable with the word, even if you fit the basic definition, it’s perfectly fine! If you’d rather be called gay, queer, sapphic, even dyke, or anything else, super valid! Once again, labels are for you to be comfortable!

Just be you and be happy! I love you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

i'm so tired of exclusionists. i'm not sure if you were aware of all the drama that happened awhile back with the LGBTA Wiki, but basically, they rewrote the lesbian page to be fully inclusive of lesbian history, bi lesbians, and lesbian men, and exclusionists went crazy. i was the one who rewrote the page. and i had so many people coming into my messages, screaming at me, telling me to off myself, saying the most horrible stuff about bi lesbians and lesboys, and it got to the point where i couldn't sleep at night because i was so anxious about it and the thought of going anywhere that wiki, which had been like a second home for me, made me panic. i've barely been on it since, and i'm not going back. how can exclusionists say that they're protecting queer people. they joined together to purposefully harass queer people. they had no problem driving queer people away from a queer safe space. they claim to be wielding their shitty beliefs as a way to "protect queer people" but as soon as it's a queer person who disagrees with them, they don't give a crap about protection. i lost my safe space and got traumatized because of these dipshits, and in the following six months i've gotten ever more viciously inclusionist and it just reminds me of what i went through every time i see exclusionism, it just wells inside me with rage. i used to say that i love everyone in the queer community but they've ruined that for me too. all they do is ruin things and it's not fair.

I’m gonna reply publicly. If you want me to delete it, feel free to contact me and I will, I would hate more harassment your way.

I have definitely heard of the wiki changing, because, unfortunately, I spend too much time on Twitter.

It filled with with absolute /rage/, that people would lose their mind about a non issue like this, while queer people kept/keep getting murdered. I think it happened at the same time Hungary got worse too.

But people decided a bunch of words on the internet was the Hot Issue™️ here. It still makes me so angry thinking about it.

As for you: Thank you for your work *presses f*

Jokes aside I am horribly sorry about what happened to you. This shit is horrendous. It is very clear these people really only care about cis gays (if that) rather than looking out for the whole community. I can’t imagine dealing with this, and I really hope these days are better for you. Stuff like this always make me want to be even more inclusive.

There are more people who support you than you might realize, and if you need anything feel free to contact us.

💗❤️🧡💛🤍💚💙💜🖤 (<- that’s a lil queer love and appreciation ur way :3)
