do you think that DNI banners work? like do you think a racist is going to see some slime gifs, almost reblog, then see the banner and be like “aw man, i’m racist!”
like i remember reading this interview with a woman who collected a lot of rita hayworth pictures and she said she thought women liked rita hayworth because she was a nonthreatening woman. which was a phrase I had literally never heard applied to women before…and even the idea that women are threatening to each other is treated as almost taboo in whatever tenuous leftist gay circles we move in online…but women are incredibly threatening…like women are terfs and racists and homophobes and they treat women with autism and other “weird” disabilities like literal garbage. women will be horrible to you if you don’t dress right or your body doesn’t look right or if you don’t make the right kind of art or know the right kind of music or talk the right way or move the right way and they can and do reinforce structures of race and gender and sexuality and class and ability and they do it often, invisibly, openly, consciously, unconsciously, and with enjoyment…like women are incredibly threatening! why…knowing what we know about how we treat and are treated by other women…is this something that’s still unmentionable
If you’re willing to suddenly forgive Blizzard despite their pathetic non-apology statement just because “omg tracer keeps a pic of her girlfriend???? omg we stan 😍😍😍” or however the fuck you talk, then you shouldn’t be allowed to play any games ever again.
