hey siri how do i explain to tumblr that ‘bury your gays’ is about more than the texual death of queer characters and that the textual death of queer characters is not, therefore, always a bad thing

mrwolfe1920

Hey Siri, how do I explain to people that killing off characters for ‘drama’ is lazy and ham-fisted writing *at best*–and that doing it to characters from marginalized groups contributes to a legacy of underrepresentation, negative representation, and bigotry that actively harms communities and is, in fact, always a bad thing?

glumshoe

Literally the only reason things happen in fiction is “for drama”. Like… that’s what a narrative is. Drama. The problem is when it’s done for cheap drama.

“Bury your gays” means that gay characters are treated, narratively, as more expendable than others. Their lives/stories are treated as having less potential, without the possibility of a happily-ever-after.

But like… the way to fight this trope is not to decree as a community that narratives about or featuring death are inherently homophobic. Tragedies are not unethical–they just should not be the only OR the majority of stories being told about LGBTQ and other marginalized characters. You can, like, not personally want to read tragedies, and that’s fair! But a blanket ban against character death and anyone who writes it does not actually increase the number of happy stories and is a major “fuck you” to every marginalized writer who wants to write things that are meaningful to them.

LGBTQ characters should die, but in ways and rates comparable to straight characters.

#part of the problem with this discourse is that people only ever seem to be thinking about ensemble cast TV shows#which might feature 1 or 2 gay characters who then get killed off because Someone Had To#and not like. the huge breadth of literature and storytelling which is not seasonally produced cheesy TV shows

im not going to be on tumblr tomorrow (still might check dms), for my own safety and wellbeing. but before i log off, i want to say a couple things

9/11 was a tragedy. everyone knows and sees that. just because i am muslim does not mean that i am going to justify 9/11. whatever bin laden’s motivation was, he did a disgusting thing and killed thousands of innocent people

just because 9/11 was an attack by someone who calls themselves muslims doesnt make all muslims terrorists. i cannot believe this is a sentence i have to type, but here i am. muslims - true muslims - do not condone violence. against anyone. i can go into all the details and the what-ifs and everything, but i dont have the energy for that. just know that violence is strictly frowned upon (note: this does not include self-defense. if somebody is attacking you and you are unable to get away, then fight back. again, there’s no debate on that).

check up on any muslims you know. your friends, neighbours, coworkers, acquaintances, even people you don’t like all that much. we are incredibly stressed out, especially if we live in a western country. just a quick text to see if they’re okay tomorrow will mean a lot

do not think that because you don’t live in america, you’re exempt from this. any western country has this problem, even if you live in a relatively okay area. i do. my friend (who lives in the same area as me) went to walmart and had a hijab on. she was nearly run over (intentionally, the guy was glaring at her and her mother the entire time) while trying to get to the store. she only realized when she got home that it was 9/11. i live in a safe area of canada. this should not be happening. but it is.

if you are in any way, shape, or form, islamophobic, get the hell off my blog

lothloriien

also if you’re not muslim you’re not allowed to use the word jihad

it literally means struggle in the way of Allah (SWT). somebody who struggles with wearing hijab vs fitting in is going through jihad. somebody who hijacks a plane is not

until y’all can behave you don’t get to use it, make jokes regarding it, or use it to refer to any terrorist attacks

lothloriien

non muslims can and should reblog this actually

Pilots drawing things with flight paths is a niche interest but a fucking fantastic one. Boeing Dreamliner 18-hour test flight.

I’m just happy that the pilots out there have this kind of precision.

deathsmallcaps

Oh I thought some pilot was doing this to some poor passengers who just wanted to go from Chicago to LA or something and then I scrolled up and saw it was test pilots.
