If you are very active on X, you would notice the increasing prevalence of Muslims being lynched in India right in front of the camera, with the perpetrators themselves recording it. Just so you know, when we talk about Islamophobia becoming normalized and legalized, we are referring to this kind of thing not criticism of the UAE or Dubai.

[huzni]

And this is so, among other reasons, why so many Indian Muslims (along with many non-Hindu Indians targeted by caste segregation policies) end up trapped in indentured labour across the Gulf monarchic economies where so many from global north bourgeoisies go to evade taxes they'd otherwise have to pay in their home countries: since the national and regional Hindutva-compliant governments ruling the former at home in India don't do jackshit to protect them from this, there are no support networks to uphold any workers' rights to either keep them safe within their own communities nor (subsequently) from resorting to seek "opportunities" offered by exploitative Salafī rulers and entrepreneurs across the Arabian Sea.

You can't claim to have and exert Taqua if you don't engage in class struggle.

[hagiomoto]

I just wanted to add that non-Indian bigots have been using the same videos of Muslims being lynched to spread the false narrative that the lynchings were carried out by Muslims.

anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊

[birues]

for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium

after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.

[mythandral]

they're doubling down too, by the way

[galpalaven]

so thats NOT what YOU said nor is that what the anon said in the post that started all this. try again.

[nights-at-crystarium]

hey i just want to say i find it so wonderful and relieving when other xiv fans also see emet selch as a gay man. from the very first moment he walked on screen, the energy of “bitter old Hollywood theater queen” was so strong and such blatant coding i never even had to consciously think about it, it was just a given. but lo and behold, i got into the fandom after catching up on the story, and found much to my shock that TONS of people are shipping him with their female wols??? i allow that fans in japan (and maybe other places, idk) might see him differently because the cultural tells for queerness are totally different there, but i have to raise my eyebrows at the americans playing the english version and still missing it. he’s literally an aging theater enthusiast in a fur-lined robe who quotes Lauren Bacall and wears noticeable makeup, whose signature body language is either a snap or a limp-wristed wave over the shoulder, and they’re somehow seeing someone who might like women? i just have to laugh. and yes, insert mandatory caveat that it isn’t that serious and there’s nothing wrong with how they’re playing barbies, but at the same time i genuinely don’t get how they aren’t seeing it. which is an extremely long winded way to say, thank you for seeing the obvious with me. i don’t necessarily expect you to publish this because it IS kind of swinging a bat at a hornet’s nest and i doubt you want that kind of attention, but i just want you to know some of us also get it. happy pride 🏳️‍🌈

Signing under every word. I hate to admit that I have to tone myself down and hold back on talking about something I have extremely strong, bottled up feelings about, just hope one day I grow "big" enough to stop giving a shit, and finally speak my heart out. For now keeping on my gay grind and trying to gather more people that agree with the above.

And sure, I'll post it. It's tumblr, so I expect people to behave, but my block button's ready anyway.

Fandom (in general, fandom spaces) used to be the pink people in this comic. It used to be predominantly queer before 2020s. I used to feel safe and at home. Then this happened. I still could not make my peace with it.

[birues]

Hey so. I am speaking as a bi brown person from west asia (since anon is so sure everyone is american here), this is incredibly saddening disappointing to see an artist i have admired and followed for so long to engage with such blantant biphobia.

This is not me saying headcanoning him as gay is invalid. Quite the opposite. His sexuality is a blank page that we can fill out like most of other ffxiv npcs. I do follow many artists who headcanon him as gay and i cheer for them. I have just reblogged your art of them as I do quite often. I follow fragments. His portrayal as a queer person is important to me whether as a gay, bi and/or trans person, I celebrate it all. But your claims here are quite problematic on two fronts:

implying emet can only be queer by the virtue of being gay and therefore bisexuality is not a valid headcanon for him

implying that both gay and bi men has to act "visibly queer enough" to be accepted as queer (as if flamboyant theatratical make-up wearing villain can't be bi as well)

implying there aren't people who ship him with hyth AND fem wol/azem at once

implying bi4bi m/f couples are basically same as het couples and our bisexuality is only valid when we date the same gender

Everyday i have to face with a very homophobic society irl and it is very tiring and dangerous for us here. Our rights and freedom is being taken away if our existence is not a crime already. Then i log into tumblr, thinking that i am accepted and safe in ffxiv community, and then I see this absolute bullshit from fellow queer folks who should be walking by my side. Homophobes are spewing poison at us for headcanoning him as bi, y'all are saying "if you hc him as bi, you're basically homophobic." at us. And let me tell you, my fellow queer people's hatred hurts a lot worse. Because it is a betrayal.

We are both pink ones but you are pushing us out, you have the audacity to categorize us as the same as straight homophobes in the fandom, you're denying our bisexuality, acting like we, bi folks are grey ones. And then you're doing this in Pride Month.

If you can't extend basic decency to your fellow queers and if you make them feel unsafe and unwelcomed, well. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[chryza]

We will literally never progress past biphobia until people realize that bisexuals in het relationships are still having a queer experience by virtue of being bisexual, we do not magically oscillate between gay enough and too straight. I’m going to maul someone to death.

[anistarrose]

realizing a headcanon of yours happens to make an element of canon even more heartbreaking when you hadn't even considered it from that angle previously

being on your period always sucks but especially at work.....& especially when your bowels do that thing......pls....stop this...

shirt that says I HATE WHEN CHARACTERS WITH UNUSUAL BEHAVIOURS AND MANNERISMS DUE TO NEUROLOGICAL DIFFERENCES GET "CURED" AND BECOME "NORMAL" on the front and "bye" on the back

[crabussy]

the ONLY time I'm fine with this is when the character is STILL unusual after whatever event changed them, just in a different way. bonus points if they're upset about the change. EVEN THEN YOU (pointing my fingers around at no one) ARE ON THHHIIINNNNN ICE

[crabussy]

"but why do you hate this? isn't it a good end to a character's arc?" my actual physical neurological structure deviates from the norm in ways that CANNOT be "fixed" and I like it when characters are like me and can still have fulfilling story arcs and loving friends [:

[crabussy]

this includes characters who say things that don't make sense, have memory issues, behave irrationally, and more. I'm talking about characters who represent a wide range of neurological differences. not just autism or adhd!

[petulantpony]

i’ve said it before but i wish vaginas didn’t cost money

[petulantpony]

you literally can not have a vagina without paying for it. vaginoplasty for some, period products for others, if you want to stop buying period products that’s gonna be expensive medicine or an expensive procedure, recovery from surgery requires time off work and vaginoplasty specifically requires money spent on dilators. our bodies shouldnt cost us this much on baseline. having a vagina shouldnt have such a hefty tax on it. it makes me feel like i’m in a fictional dystopia written for middle school classrooms when i think about it.
