I HATE WHITE NERD TV WRITERS FROM LA

cobra kai writers room making the conclusion of their story be “wow and all it took was the violent death of an ontologically evil character of color with no inner life or backstory like any of our white villains he’s just like that because he’s insane for us to break the cycle of violence” yeah this looks good. send it

i don't know if you still give a damn about good omens or were planning to watch S2 out of curiosity, but how about that leak huh? Everyone screeching "This means it was NEVER queerbait at all and whoever calls it that is a stupid bitch" is the cherry on top.

the way i know the world is healing because i had to go look up "good omens leak" on twitter because nobody on here was talking about it when in like 2019 this would've brought down the servers. love and peace to all. anyways all i will say is: lmaoooooooooooooooooo and also if some of these people were on the fucking front lines of the yaoi war back then they would not be saying this shit. the neilman dismissive anon answers. the wish-washy will-they-won't-they. the getting dogpiled disingenuously when anyone dared to say that it's not actually good rep. the fact that a 62 year old world famous writer could not peel his ass off of his chair because he was too busy namesearching random gay teens on a dead microblogging website LAIKE...ok this is a lot to say for someone who said they didn't have anything to say anyway. my point is come the fuck on guys

i love your liveblogging because i never have any idea if you're enjoying it or not. gomens2 could be the best or the worst show ever and you would say "we should kill with n**lman with hammers" either way and i respect that so much

Literally what’s the point if we can’t kill him with hammers he deserves it solely because this is supposed to be the sanctuary of saying you want the creator of a thing to be killed with hammers and yet he thinks he’s one of us hammerers and not the hammeree

Aziraphale became Catholic it was just this whole thing

I admit I'm not immune to michael sheen turning up his homo levels to "glory hole yelp reviewer"

Your descriptions are always so beautiful I truly cannot wait for this. I’m at the high speed rail station with 3 to 4 of my beautiful mutuals and they won’t tell me if he’s invented a new type of queerbaiting but i know he’s invented a new type of queerbaiting

"what if it's not even a kiss" oh god you cracked it crowley is giving michael sheen mouth to mouth because he fainted after nude gabriel left taint prints on the couch. and then people try to give ga*man another glad award

crowley should make a big show of wiping his mouth on his sleeve after the fact

me reading through that long ao3 post thinking hang on, that was never what the protest was about, the goal of changing work titles was to increase visibility of OTW's failure to make any progress on a goal they set for themselves three years ago, this is like... exceptionally bad faith.... (scrolls a little more) oh thank GOD theres a rebuttal. damn i love being told soooo condenscendingly that it is actually better for ao3 to refuse to take the tiniest steps to not alienate fans of colour. man. sorry im just ranting but im so relieved someone else spoke up to say that whole post was a crock of shit

(under cut. tama lmk if you want me to take this down)

i think the thing that a lot of people don't get about being a capital-f Fan Of Color or w/e is that fandom, whether unintentionally or not, was not really meant for us. from day 1 it has never been the sort of complete and utter escapism that it's posited to be. it's been a really interesting experience to come up alongside this specific corner of the internet as fandom culture and how people engage with media has shifted and changed, how they've gradually realized the extremely limited scope of their perspectives, and what that means for the people outside it.

fandom is transgressive, fandom is for everybody until you start wondering who's deciding what's transgressive? who do you have in mind when you say everybody? i'd consider myself extremely lucky re: my experience in fandom but even just in passing, not even directed at me in particular, not even particularly heinous or hackles-raising and probably half out of ignorance-- well. it's worn me down, man. all these small things and others. the way white fans talked about danmei when it was just starting to get big in the West, the way they'd talk about the actors. the assumptions and jokes about depiction of queerness and censorship in asian countries. all the small things and others.

so it's the juxtaposition between knowing fandom was never really For You, looking at the fine print after the 'everyone', and never really having to. knowing that it started with your perspective and everyone else is just set dressing, and who cares about the set dressing? this is so silly. why can't you guys see the bigger picture? why can't you guys see this differently?

well, i can't help it, i guess.
