one of the weirder concepts to become normalized in online spaces is that "intent doesnt matter no matter the situation!" yes it does if someone didnt mean to insult me and apologized once they realized its all cool. if someone purposefully called me an ugly bitch thats different

"dead dove" being used as a vague tag that stands in for anything problematic or dark imho directly contradicts the original context. it's "dead dove do not eat" and "idk what i expected." as in "this bag was very clearly labeled to have a dead dove in it so dnt expect smth else"

these types of posts are always crazy to me because it's like... that's the point. that's literally the point for why this is bad. people aren't watching james somerton just for fun, they are actively trying to learn queer history, and james cut them off from a resource on it
how did 300,000+ gay people not realize this james somerton guy was plagiarizing THE CELLULOID CLOSET im sorry but us young gays have GOT to become more culturally literate in our own history thats insane

"enemies to lovers romanticizes abuse" is dumb bc it misunderstands what abuse is bc abuse isnt being mean to each other and having slapfights while trying to control the city its a relationship built on fear and manipulation. good enemies to lovers has balance and mutual respect

"you didnt mean to step on my foot but you did so pls apologize" is one thing but instead gets followed up with "no you didnt mean to step on my foot but you did and yeah you apologized but your intent doesnt stop it from hurting so now im going to tell ppl ur a danger to feet"

like im p sure this was originally used to explain how harm can be done regardless of intention. "you didnt mean to step on my foot but you did and it hurts and i think you should apologize" but "intent doesnt matter" wasnt supposed to extend beyond that or so completely

i think i said this before but when it comes to transgression that occur online there is no rehabilitation process. once youve caused harm, no matter the scale, youre expected to take ownership for that indefinitely and deal with the punishment for that for the rest of your time

esp when theres an expectation that on public forums anyone who has the capacity to even potentially ever interact with your content is not just owed an apology, but is part of a jury process to decide whether someone is forgiven or not regardless of the level of harm

like the core concept is being clear and upfront in your tagging so people who don't wanna read whatever don't pop in to read it. it's not "dead dove or maybe dead parrot or even dead squirrel come take a peek and find out!" just to present a dying gecko

which is partially why people become so defensive of themselves when harm is pointed out in a public space because people will say "just apologize and own up to it!" but thats not really how that works. bc once there is an apology then it becomes open to everyone and their mother

transgressions become faced with huge backlashes of abuse thats completely disproportionate to the harm. which means that ppl, ones who are often queer, trans, poc, and otherwise marginalized, are forced into isolation where their friends are expected to drop them or else face

people watching youtube essays on queer history are *trying* to learn. they want this knowledge and they're seeking it out. especially people who are younger, have less access to these resources, or are not in academia. if you're not studying queer history, how would you know?

the celluloid closest isn't on netflix or hulu where you can stumble onto it. it's a documentary from 1995 (shout out to the people in the qrts telling people to "read a book" bc they don't know it's a doc btw!) where people like? need to be told it exists so they can find it.

I said I’d write a thread about ways I think white allies can engage with antiracism in fandom in a more productive manner that doesn’t dehumanize fans of color or puts us at risk. For background I’m trained in teaching on how to be an activist and about queer&antiracist topics.

30+ yos absolutely belong in fandom and all, but its silly to me for ppl to pretend like only 30+ yos contribute anything of value to fandom. like teens organize big bangs and zines. i dnt even wanna address the fic/art thing. you know 15 yos are freakishly good at art nowadays?

the thing about "why is f/f less popular than m/m" is that it's absolutely ridiculous to insist misogyny plays no role in that like even with the most charitable read that misogyny impacts the quality of woman charas. what annoys me is fandom being 100% resistant to changing that

like this is the original meme. the joke is opening a bag labeled dead dove and finding that there is indeed a dead dove in it. the end part of it "idk what i expected" has been a meme for a while. it just means "dont be surprised when theres X inside a fic thats tagged X"

just saying but...i feel like people erase oluwande's importance to stede where the role he plays as supporting stede and giving him advice gets offloaded onto lucius most often in fandom. lucius does more emotional work for ed than stede really, but olu is the one stede leans on

the difference between (s1) izzy and stede is that when ed says batshit things like "if i was a worm would u still call me captain" stede doesn't understand it's a test but intuitively knows the answer. izzy knows that it's a test but he has no clue what the right response is.
