not to be a bitch but do you ever just see a post that’s like
‘i’m going to correct some misconceptions about [x]! i’m not here to shame anyone for getting it wrong, just please learn in future :-)’
and then all the information is just stuff that's the op’s personal experience, or the experience of someone they know because they’re not even [x] themself, and is absolutely not universal and sometimes straight up wrong.
#it's just wild like. what made you think you could or should position yourself as the authority on this subject.#sometimes it is genuinely for real bad like all the 'don't donate to lebanon' bullshit americans were putting out after the explosion#sometimes it's just :/ like those 'for the cis writers out there here's how to write a trans character!' (cue terrible advice)#(most of which is just extremely telling abt op's upbringing/mental health and totally unrelated to being trans)#this time it is not that it is completely harmless which is why this is so petty but#'lol no judgement but i can tell you're american when you write [british character] as [doing a thing they are described as doing in canon]'#'british people would NEVER make tea without a teapot'#'no one in london has a car and it's literally impossible to have your own flat without being married'#'source: my best friend is british and i have been to london twice'#do you somehow think that makes you the closest thing the internet has to an expert on london?#you know british people have the internet right?#'everyone LOVES supermarket meal deals and they are the height of lunchtime cuisine' sorry but yr friend a) can't cook b) is boring#there is so much great cheap street food in central. no one who knows better is paying £3.50 for a soggy tesco sandwich and crisps.#i'm having flashbacks to when sherlock and harry potter were popular#we are two steps away from 'i wish i was british i would eat fish and chips every day that's worth 5 quid'#those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it
