I really hope that people who act like there can only be One way to do Good Rep will rethink what they are implying with this.
Because this means that everyone who does not fit in this One Way to be someone should be ashamed of themselves. Their identity and their experience is WRONG, it being portrayed doesn't count as representation.
There can be only One way to be gay, One way to be a victim, One way to be autistic. Everything else should never be shown to others, they should never see themselves, should never feel validated.
Because there is only One way to correctly be.
#representation#i remember angel's discource and shudder#what a way to send a message that there is only One correct way to be a surviver#everything else is wrong#every surviver that relate to angel and feel seen are WRONG because his rep is bad and shoud not exist#listen. just because YOU couldnt relate doesnt mean no one else can#doesnt mean that only YOUR experience should be shown#because only YOUR experience is the correct one#no one else's only yours.#this is wrong stop it!
