He's Captain America. This is not up for debate. This is a fact. As for "who is entitled to the shield", Sam is. Sam is who Steve gave that shield to. Sam deserves to be Cap, and Anthony Mackie deserves some more respect. This is a shameful headline.
@DiscussingFilm
Nobody asked for this.
And I don't mean this with any disrespect to the K-Pop fandom either, because I'm fairly sure that they were among the people who really didn't ask for this.
@LilNasX
She'll probably see this tweet, and she'll probably cry, because that's the nicest thing she's heard in a long time. She'll remember it, and she'll hold it close, and whenever she hears your music, she'll feel a little stronger. 💗
@Variety
The whole thing looked like a dumb, cheesy, teenage romance. The trailer didn't grab me at all.
But what did grab me is the fact that after years of seeing that same dumb, cheesy, generic crap for straight people, it was finally time for queer people to get that too.
@Variety
Queer media is so often held up to higher standards than anything else, it has to be exceptional otherwise it's bad. It isn't allowed to be middling, or just watchable. We don't get to have something that's a bit of dumb fun, without there having to be some caveat.
@lesbomonet
Natasha Romanoff. She's my number one, favourite comfort character. I am obsessed. Saw Endgame at midnight, tentatively excited after she only had five minutes screentime across three hours of Infinity Snore. Yeah. Fuck that. I nearly walked out.
@oneperfectscene
Wow, can't believe Dev Patel will single handedly save the cinema industry. I'm not watching that man as a male stripper on anything smaller than an IMAX.
For those keeping count, Legends of Tomorrow - a network TV show - now has half the lead characters confirmed as queer. We have a lesbian, a bi man, a bi woman, a gay man and now an asexual woman of colour.
@DiscussingFilm
It amazes me that THIS is the thing so many of you draw the line at. The show had a talking monkey, and you're like "cool, whatever." yet a trans man has you screaming "BUT SCIENCE!"

Okay

when I open the app, I don't want an autoplay promo for a cancer and suicide TV show with Ricky Gervais. Do you guys seriously have no fucking heart? Think about your goddamn audience.

THANK YOU.
And bitch, this queen was doing it long before Harry. Hell, the ballgown was y'know, in Vogue as well.
The best thing to come out of Love Simon was him coming out.
@Variety
That's what this looks like to me, and that in itself is good enough.
I don't always need to have my entire life view shifted by queer media, sometimes I just want to see two girls falling in love, and vampire silliness.
@buttsoupbarness
The points are,
1) We're supposed to be moving past this.
2) Her response was peak TERF bullshit.
3) The trans community had to point out Dante Gill was a trans man, because the synopsis sent to most sites painted him as a lesbian.
So, Naomi, with it's black queer lead character has been cancelled too. Charmed, about four black sisters - also with a lesbian, I believe - has also been cancelled.
The CW is really showing it's true colours now, isn't it? White, straight men only.
@EuphoriTori
@KatyMontgomerie
The thing that throws me is that don’t these weirdos claim they want to “protect children”? A child was literally murdered, and they’re siding with the killers because she was trans. Doesn’t sound like they want to protect kids at all, just sounds like they hate trans people.
The fact that scaremongering has lead to this absolute bullshit.
This isn't going to stop kids being trans, this is going to stop them from having a safe place to turn because you believed a washed up fauxmenist.
Blood is on these TERFs hands.

Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only.
@lolennui
Also Jordan Peele is very problematic. Went to see his first movie, only for the screen to tell me to leave. Thought I'd be okay to go back for his last movie, only to be reminded I wasn't welcome.
Very rude.
@amandadeibert
I broke down in tears when Brienne showed up on Game Of Thrones, and she wasn't some willowy, delicate, model type. She had a hard shell, but the way she was treated for her appearance still hurt her.
I'm 6'1, I've been harassed my whole life, and I was 26 when I finally saw me.
@iramadisonthree
Wasn't sure til she rubbed her belly. Either way, pregnant or full of green room nachos, she looked gorgeous and absolutely killed that.
And to join my Lestat, please welcome my Louis Du Pointe Du Lac.
I absolutely loved this scene, loved Louis getting a little revenge, so I had to use this outfit.

I think my favourite part of this is the playfulness of the headline with "still startled by sight of trousers". Like, that's such a cute little comment.

As much as I DESPISE this idea, there's a tiny part of me that would laugh forever if that was the case. Shitty fanboys who thought Jodie killed Doctor Who watching it actually die under Corden.
There's only one new year's resolution that any right-minded person needs:
Reduce the amount of time you spend socialising, advancing your career, exercising and being with your loved ones so that you can focus on the thing that truly matters – arguing with your enemies online

Harry Lennix weighs in on the Joss Whedon scandal: "I think maybe we should give [Joss] another chance to respond... Not minimizing anybody’s story, not minimizing the experiences others had in any way. But I believe that we must learn to reconcile."
My Dad is watching
#LoveActually
with me. He is very emotionally involved with Colin Firth's story. He's just yelled "STOP HER!" as he drove her home for the final time.
My Dad is a 66 year old straight man.
@TheFlemishSeth
I feel like scrapping Peacemaker and OFMD would be a very, very stupid idea. James Gunn and Taika Waititi are powerful men in Hollywood, and alienating them means losing future collaborators that could make them a lot of money.
The A is, and will ALWAYS, be for the asexual, aromantic and agender people in our community. Allies don't deserve a pat on the back for being decent people, and true allies will appreciate that.
Attention
@HRC
, asexual, aromantic, and agender people exist and should be acknowledged on National Coming Out Day 2018. You had the time to include straight allies, but ignored us. Fix this please:
Keeping up my tradition of spooky Halloween tattoos, this year I finally got one I've been planning for years, with my favourite horror icons, Chucky and Tiffany!

Does anyone find it interesting that with the Epstein stuff coming out at the same time as these racial protests etc, that the trending celebrities happen to be Naomi Campbell and Chris Tucker? Not say, Ralph Fiennes or Alec Baldwin?

And it looks fab! Also whenever you're sad, just give the fuzz a little rub, feels like petting a kitten.
Not that I'm speaking from experience about how my shaved head helped me cope with new job anxiety a few years ago or anything.

@netflix
You know, PG-13 films can be just as effective as MA/R. If your enjoyment of horror relies on the gore and violence shown, you're watching the wrong horror.
@_celia_bedelia_
I work with teenage girls, and one of them - with no filter - has told me I’m prehistoric at 37. She calls 90’s music “granny music”. She’s also panicking about turning 20, because it means she’s old. She’d literally laugh in a 35 year old man’s face, and I’d cheer for her.
@KatyMontgomerie
I mean, even ignoring the trans aspect here, you’re going to tell your kid that they “look silly” in the clothes they feel comfortable in, and make them change? That’s just mean.
@KatyMontgomerie
I'm cis and 6' 1. In a supermarket, I once had a bunch of teenagers chase me round yelling abuse. I was visibly distressed, and couldn't speak, and kept looking at ANYONE to help me, but not even the security guards would stop them.
@IanMcKellen
Also this officially means that you have to be 82 and older to use the "I'm too old to understand this malarkey" excuse. I don't make the rules.
@DiscussingFilm
I mean, with all due respect to the costume designers, you can't judge how they're going to look on screen from a shitty paparazzi shot. I've seen costumes from shows up close, and they look fuck awful, but on screen with decent lighting and such, they actually look decent.
@TheFilmUpdates
*sigh* And then we get the "is it weird I still find her hot?" as if fat people can't be gorgeous, and all of us just nod and smile, exhausted again.
@shiraisinspired
I'm an OCD sufferer - diagnosed 17 years ago - and it's only been the past few years I've really understood my disorder, due in part to threads like this. I thought I was an awful person for some of these, but now I know it's my brain.
@amandadeibert
I actually got to meet Gwendoline Christie after she played Titania in Midsummer Night's Dream, and I got to thank her in person. I've met a lot of celebrities, but she's the only one I ever cried on.
@summerbrennan
@marythechief
I'm 33 this month, and I am currently too old and too young according to the media. I've not had kids yet, and am now helpfully told "that's okay, lots of women don't." as if I've lost my chance forever. Same with getting married. I'm too old for that too! Ridiculous, I'm a baby!
@WholesomeMeme
My favourite experience of this was when I was at work, and told a girl I liked her stuffed monkey. She was a little shy, but her mum said she was very happy. She came back then next day for her mum to pick something up, and had dressed the monkey in his best outfit to show me.
This show has 10 leads, who all get their fair share of screentime, and now HALF of those are canonically queer.
Also, the coming out episode was directed by a queer woman of colour, who also played a queer character during her time on the show.
@diandrasdiandra
Back when Hustlers came out, he was asked about her and he was so complimentary. He was impressed her biggest role came at 50, and I believe his quote was "she's fucking baller". He's never been anything but supportive of her. People are so pathetic.
Say it with me.
Spooner's identity does not have to be defined by a relationship with Astra. Spooner has literally just realised that she isn't broken, and that does not mean that INSTANTLY she needs to be in a romantic relationship.
The coming out scene in tonight's episode wasn't advertised, or even mentioned as something that was coming. It wasn't used to get attention, or to get headlines, it was just a sweet, organic moment, which was even more special.
@takecarehours
@PopBase
See, his family and friends, I like to think it was more after they'd hugged him and told him they loved him, followed by a teasing "bit obvious though".
Fans saying it though? I hate that. You didn't know. You don't know him to know.
I'm so soft for Mandip. I got to chat to her for ages, and tell her how much Yaz' coming to terms with her identity story meant to me. She was saying nobody had ever pointed out we don't get to see people our sort of age coming to terms with it, and thanked me for saying so.
@InsaneLetterbox
I enjoyed it when the boy was still a kid, and sweet. Then he becomes like every teenager in every movie, and I wanted to push him in front of a bus.
A gay Lifetime Christmas movie, starting an IRL married couple, written by members of the LGBTQ community with a guaranteed happy ending, and a plot that isn't about how awful being gay is. 😲
@Esqueer_
@NicoleAMaines
This the same network that cancelled universally beloved, critically acclaimed, super queer Our Flag Means Death just over a week ago. One of the only shows on TV with a major NB character right now.
Now it’s happily giving that monster money? 🤔

Must be nice being in hospital and being well enough that your main concern is the gender of the person in the bed next to you.
Whenever I’ve been in hospital, I’ve been slightly more concerned about the fact I’m stuck in bloody hospital.
@CaseyExplosion
I have been not so gently followed round supermarkets by teenagers yelling "WHERE'S YOUR PENIS?" while store security stood by and laughed. I'm a cis woman, I'm just very tall. TERF's seem to think because these incidents are 'isolated', they're still protecting cis women.
I wasn't stupid enough to think we'd get loads more seasons, but I hoped the network would have at least extended the same courtesy to us that it has with Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl and let us have a goodbye season. Seven seasons and we don't even get a shortened goodbye one?
@GailSimone
I have a pull list at a local comic shop, and the man who runs it is an absolute star. He's an older guy, and he's never talked down to me, always smiles and has friendly conversation when I come in. I've seen him with other women, and he's always the same. We're equals to him.
I would rather be in a changing room with a trans woman, than a fucking TERF because who knows what she's thinking about me, and who knows if she's going to start some bullshit because I just happen to be a bit bloody tall.
@Tatakai_no_Kami

@GailSimone
See? Why can't he always dress like this? It's not hard, is it? It makes his story far more interesting and relatable to me, because now I can picture him naked while he's talking about justice.
@dansensolsens
And it always comes from the people who say "I don't talk to my friends like that" when "like that" is literally with a degree of kindness.
@DiscussingFilm
Also, let's not slag them off with the phrase "they look like cosplay", because that's disrespectful to cosplayers. Have you ever made a costume from scratch? It's not as easy as you'd like to think.
@AliPlumb
Shazad Latif is incredible, and the best smelling man I've ever met. I'm hoping he gets more attention after What's Love Got To Do With It.
Sam Reid, always been good, but unreal in Interview with the Vampire.
Matt Ryan, who is the best comic book casting ever.
This show feels like home. Every single one of these characters would respect your pronouns, make you a cuppa, and stay up with you to talk if you needed it. It is so special, and I can't understand why so many queer interest sites and such keep sleeping on it.
Legends Of Tomorrow has done more for queer visibility in TV and the DCTV universe than Batwoman ever will, and the fact everybody fucking sleeps on it while praising a lazy, racist show is biphobia at its finest.
@issamop_
@DiscussingFilm
Exactly. The actor playing the man he becomes obsessed with has that actual disability, I hate to think what's going to be levelled at him.
@RahulKohli13
As someone who lost their mum, it can be hard seeing things about it twice a year. Thanks for making me laugh.
Less thankful for the fact I shot my cocktail through my nose laughing, because that hurt.
@HARVEYGUILLEN
I think Nandor will use one wish to undo all his previous wishes, and give his final wish to Guillermo, who will wish he'd never met Nandor.
And as much as I love Nandermo, I support that wholeheartedly, because Nandor needs a bloody punch.
