some of you people are so obsessed with having an acceptable group to ‘punch up’ at that you would rather pretend a marginalized group are Basically The Oppressors™ than listen to their valid criticisms about the fact that ‘punching up’ very rarely hits the intended target, and the majority of the actual damage of that act is suffered by fellow marginalized people in your own community. there is a significant difference between venting frustrations about privileged groups and just outright attacking anyone who (you assume) experiences that axis of privilege regardless of - and in many cases outright denying - their actual lived experiences. it goes far beyond just ‘venting frustrations’ when what you’re really doing is trying to find a moral justification to bully people you don’t like, and when your own desire for catharsis and moral superiority leads to ignoring the voices of the vulnerable people you hurt. you’re not ‘punching up’ - you just like punching people for the sake of punching.

i think a lot of fanfic makes more sense when you read it, not as a story that people are trying to tell about the characters & their world, but as a story someone wants to hear. and sometimes that person is the writer. people can want to read a lot of different things but the point is that there's no use litigating like, why top/bottom dynamics manifest the way that they do—people want to read it like that. why is there fic about someone putting toothpaste in their asshole? someone wanted to read that. "this character would never have this kink" but the author clearly did! and liked the character enough to want to make them the vehicle of that kink! the goal of fic is not to say something deep & intelligent about the source text—often the source text is only the starting point for people to explore their own desires. and, crucially, this is not a crime. please remember that fanfic has no obligation to be well-written, clever, in-character, or good in any way at all, for it to deserve to exist free of harassment. ugliness & stupidity are beautiful too

prince of egypt is not a christian movie. the exodus is a jewish story. it’s found in other religions, and can even have a heightened level of significance, like for black (specifically african american) christians. but it is a jewish story from jewish scripture written from a jewish perspective about jewish persecution. enjoy it all you want. but don’t go on about how much you love prince of egypt then erase the fundamental jewish spirit of it.

If you support Land Back movements, but reject the Jewish reclamation of the land of Israel, despite undeniable evidence of literally *thousands* of years of Jewish indigeneity, you are a hypocrite of the highest order and an antisemite.

No excuses.
