“large chests are not inherently sexual and they need to be desexualized, especially since many people with large chests are underage and sexualized by default because of the natural state of their bodies” and “99% of character designs where the character has a large chest, especially underage ones, are matters of blatant fetishization and not an attempt to normalize the body type” are realities that can and should exist

Ok but it's actually kind of ridiculous MILF is censored on tiktok when you can easily look up daddy dom and other kink shit lol

I wish anxiety wasn’t called anxiety because it makes it sound like I’m just mildly concerned and worried about things

[tallwife]

Anxiety should be called Overwhelming Dread Stomach Problems Death Obsession Syndrome

You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.

Crowley presenting as female to be Warlock’s Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasn’t made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!

Pollution using they/them pronouns while the postman used the gender neutral honorific of sir for them? What’s there to make fun of? They’re royalty.

Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.

Lord Beelzebub’s androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.

Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracy’s body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!

Crowley’s pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demon’s style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and I’d see no difference. What an icon.

Good Omens is the first big show I’ve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, don’t give a damn about it then why should you?

Thank you! That was definitely what we were going for. I’m not certain we always achieved it – or at least, people didn’t always seem to see that was what we were doing. (It made me sad when a few people on Twitter reacted to Crowley-as-nanny as if it was meant to be a transphobic man-in-a-dress joke.)

For our angels and demons, it was intensely liberating having male and female actors auditioning for the same roles, and just picking the ones who we felt nailed the characters best.

Also, can I just hear a wahoo for the wonderful Archangel Uriel, Gloria Obianyo?

[notachair]

I forget we’ve got Neil Gaiman here to actually interact with these fandom posts

Do you ever just stop and think about that photoset for the “Five Doctors” where Tom Baker was not present so they decided to pose his wax figure instead like it was a completely normal thing to do?

[evilkitten3]

ngl i went through the first three trying to figure out which one was the wax one and it’s the exact last one i even considered

[sandersstudies]

Reblogging because I thought I knew which one was wax until I got to the last photo.

What and who is included in the lgbt/queer/gay(general) communities aren’t always super clear cut actually and like... that’s fine.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Like a cishet man that likes doing drag likely doesn’t consider himself queer and neither would any of his queer/lgbt friends but he might still be super active in the community and mostly hang out with gay guys and bring his girlfriend to pride and maybe even perform at pride. And maybe the queer community is where he feels most at home because he’s kind of feminine, and doing drag is a big part of his life.

Irl probably almost nobody would kick this guy out. A lot of internet discourse would. But that kind of makes no sense.

I grew up in the theatre community, and after I learned what being gay was I discovered that gay people were everywhere in theatre. But so were straight people that just kind of fell outside of societal norms a bit. Straight people that often just felt more comfortable around gay people because they could just be themselves.

And yeah that’s an obvious example of people that aren’t queer hanging out in queer spaces but there’s also a ton of gray area. Straight polyamorous people for example. People that identify as cis that “crossdress” or even do some things that might be considered to be part of “transitioning”. Or some intersex people that don’t id with the lgbt community. Or people that id as non binary but not as trans.

At some point you need to stop trying to figure out who definitively belongs in the club because like... there is no club. Irl queer spaces tend to cover huge swaths of people. There’s a lot of gray area. And also you’ll also tend to find a lot of cishet gender conforming people in these spaces too. Because their significant other or a family member or a good friend is lgbt+ or because they’re poly or because they just feel more comfortable around queer people or they just feel like fighting for gay rights is something that they’re supposed to be doing. And if they’re respectful and the space isn’t explicitly “no cishet right now” then like, them being there isn’t that much of an issue usually.

All of this internet discourse that tries to exclude or bully people just isn’t grounded in reality.

[canadianwheatpirates]

There is literally a significant subgroup of men who have sex with other men, but consider themselves straight and don’t respond to outreach for gay/queer men. Like, this is a known thing, particularly when it comes to HIV outreach campaigns; it’s why HIV campaigns use MSM (men who have sex with men) when most other LGBT+ stuff doesn’t.

Now, a lot of people’s first impulse is to say they have internalised homophobia, but a) that’s rude as hell to assume about a stranger and b) a lot of them just... don’t. They’ve thought about it and they aren’t gay! They have straight lives that they’re fine with, and sometimes they have sex with men!

And something that gets me about Queer Identity Discourse is that it would just immediately declare these people Not Gay And Not In Need Of Our Resources, when they clearly are! They have the same struggles with HIV/AIDS as gay men, they get criminalised by anti-gay sex laws the same as gay men -- they just happen to identify as straight!

When we fixate on trying to declare people as queer or not based on their identity, we miss the ways in which behaviour pushes self-declared straight people under our umbrella. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to realise that these straight people are being harmed by homophobia, transphobia etc.

yall white gays were against the pride flag with the black and brown stripes i aint forget

[heretic-knights]

They were fucking PISSED about it, and I haven’t forgotten either.

[katsa-the-graceling]

In case anyone wants it, I combined the OG pride colors (with the pink and turquoise) with the black and brown stripe bc I hadn’t seen it done and I wanted it.

would much like  to point out that the people publishing these articles are trying to needle millennials into treating gen z with the same disgusting vitriol we were treated with.

don’t buy it.

our younger brothers and sisters might eat a tide pod and get us blamed for it, but we have more in common with them than we ever had with boomers or gen x.

they are terrified of the things we can do together. remember that.
