Every time a homophobe and biphobe post that the show is ruined because Buck is bi, Oliver Stark is living his best life, happy that he can finally play Buck with 100% honesty and joy. And knows that in doing so, he's giving a majority of the fans joy.

the James Somerton thing really shows how hard people are willing to go to bat for a white cis guy who seems to say all the right things and makes content they like no matter how much everyone else has proof of them being a bad person. That is, until a more popular white cis guy who says all the right things calls them out.
This isn't a criticism of Hbomberguy at all, but of everyone else for refusing to listen to the voices of the people James hurt until Hbomb made it cool. This happens all the time and is still happening and it drives me insane. Y'all need to do better.

So the targs yearn for a new valyria they yearn for a real home they should have died in the doom they cheated death they keep trying to remake valyria but the valyria in their heads that isnt real. the house with the red door and the lemon tree that never really existed right. aerea and aerion are the only two to ever get truly close to reaching valyria. and both of them are burned from the inside. they melted!!! their wings melted!!!

nothing is better than playing tf2 and seeing usernames like:
“The CEO of Sex”
“tommy tomboy”
“christian missionary sex”
“horny police”
“kidney inflammation”
“mr jizzard the tentacle wizard”
especially with all being seen in the same server at almost the same time

At what point is the "white woman blogger" joke like, unproductive/helpful. cuz initially it seemed to come out as valid criticism to a trend of white women online with a lot of privledge who just, often ran into doing/saying really racist/sexist/ableist, etc stuff one way or another but now it just feels like the butt end of a joke

TERFs out here saying you can't be a woman if you don't have a uterus. I didn't realize I was non-binary until my late 30s.
At 31 (family record), I had a full hysterectomy so I could function as a person. Do you have any idea how much pain you have to be in to be 31, no kids, and get your uterus removed?
It's a lot.
Anyway, I had a TERF tell me once (before I was identifying enby, so she was only mostly terrible) that, yes, she did see me as less of a woman because I had removed my womb.
Other than fuck TERFs (and radfems and tradfems, the world's worst appetizer platter, truly), I don't know that I had a point here.
Oh! Wait! It's been 10 years! 10 years without crushing pain and depression every fucking day because I could barely walk for two years due to said pain!
And some fuck said I was lesser for making my choice.
Fuck 'em. It ain't parts. It's you. You make yourself who you are, you got me? You.

Adoption causes way more intergenerational trauma and collective health crises than I think many "kept" people realize.
If you bother to read it, the science is clear: adoption is violently traumatic, causing devastating, irreversible health issues for millions of human beings. Yet I'd have more luck conveying the severity and longevity of my own trauma to most non-adoptees with "I was dropped on my head as a baby."
Heck, I didn't begin to contend with the horrors of my own situation until my mid forties. Being yeeted directly after birth into foster care and eventually adopted by lovely, well-intentioned folks who were not prepared *at all* to help me deal with the lifelong neurodevelopmental disorders and physical health problems directly caused by my abandonment at birth has permanently damaged me. I'm saying so as one of the "lucky ones".
I adore my adoptive family. They're incredible parents. We love each other dearly. This doesn't change the fact, not for one second, that I wouldn't wish adoption on ANYBODY. Thankfully, my folks understand this. I wish more adoptive parents did.
The modern adoption industry* is, by design, deeply misogynistic, racist, transactional, ableist, imperialist, colonial. Ignorance and hate and apathy and coercion and subjugation and dehumanization and capitalism keep the machine running.
We're already seeing the beginning of Baby Scoop Too: Electric Boogaloo on Facebook. On Twitter. On Instagram. On other social media platforms owned and controlled by obscenely wealthy white men who don't consider private adoptions to be unethical.
You may *think* that legalized human trafficking doesn't really effect you, but soon, if the Christofascists continue their cultural blitzkrieg, the amount of infants and children who end up in the foster care system, adopted by unqualified people, in devastating private "rehoming" situations like the one shared above, or worse, is gonna SKYROCKET.
So...I'm barely on Facebook anymore for a few different reasons. One of them is that I couldn't handle watching a whole bunch of ignorant self-proclaimed feminists making shitty adoption jokes after Roe was overturned.
Another reason is that Facebook is LITERALLY A BABY MARKET.
ADOPTIVE PARENTS ARE BUYING AND SELLING CHILDREN ON FACEBOOK. WHAT THE ACTUAL UNFORTUNATE FUCK.
Nearly 100 million American families are in the adoption triad, with a majority of adoptees' needs and voices being considered last instead of first. It's so backwards.
Non-kinship adoption is a systemic violence that cannot help but touch the lives of billions. That is so very, very bad for ALL of us, not just abandoned infants and children or their struggling parents.
Some straightforward response questions for every person who has ever asked me about about my adoption:
Are you a feminist? Are you antiracist? Are you a humanitarian? Anti-ableist? Do you consider yourself lefty, liberal, or otherwise progressive? Do you respect science? Then please reevaluate your perceptions of adoption.
For every adoptive or bio parent you listen to, listen to three or more adoptees. For every shitty adoption "joke" you've ever told, check in with an adoptee (or first mom) in a kind and caring way. For every ignorant question you've ever asked an adoptee about our "real parents", crack a book!
Please. Do some research. Learn. Please. Center transracial adoptees, international adoptees, disabled adoptees, queer adoptees. Please. This stuff impacts all of us just as surely as countless other aspects of systemic rape culture do. Try to understand. Please.
I'm more certain than ever that we must abolish before we can rebuild.
Please give a shit. Please.
*The fact that adoption is an industry at all should shock and horrify us all, and yet... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[image description: a screenshot of a Facebook post with a black border and caption reading, “Welcome to America, where people try to regime adopted children on Facebook Marketplace.” The Facebook post itself reads, “So basically they either want him to come back home, or have CPS place him in a foster home. Or I can find someone willing to take him in, and ‘under the table’ pay them the stipend, we get. If CPS places him they will have to have an open case against me. In doing that I will lose my job. I cannot work at a daycare, school, group home etc. if I have an open active CPS case against me. How the hell do I go about ‘re-homing’ my child? Should I create a post in market place? Through no fault of our own, we are being forced to re-home our thirteen year old son. He can be the most loving, helpful young man. He does suffer some learning difficulties. He comes with a complete wardrobe and a monthly allotment. Only serious inquiries please.” End id]

Do I want Buddie? Of course I do!
However, getting Canon Bi Buck has healed something in me. As a pan woman who didn't figure out she wasn't straight until she was in her late twenties, who has so many bisexual friends of many different genders, this was a huge moment for us.
Biphobia is a rampant issue, and in both the media and real life, they're often portrayed as hypersexual, cheaters, and/or just haven't "made up their minds."
But this is a win! We have a canon Bi Main Character on a hugely successful primetime network show! A network show that was canceled, picked up, and just after a few episodes on the new network was renewed for another season.
I think we all see parts of ourselves in Buck. He's a deeply complex character who wants to be loved and seen. And now, we'll have more people who will also see themselves in Buck and the rest of the shows characters!

the idea that having strange sexual proclivities makes you progressive or gay-adjacent reminds me of when people were arguing polygamist african and asian immigrants were in the same boat as homosexual people because of polyamory or some shit

I find that equating Edwina's fandom mistreatment to Eloise's rings really hollow. Eloise was called privileged, spoiled, tone deaf, a white feminist etc. But Edwina?? Even before S2 came out, she was removed from posters and Charithra was bullied to the point she had to delete her social media. Once S2 was out, all of Edwina's actions were misconstrued so she became a gold digger who deserved to be cheated on, humiliated at her wedding, be saddled with a man who will forever fantasise about fucking her sister, somehow responsible for fans' own trauma as older siblings ??? The level of projection, phew. Edwina's tag was filled with hate and Edwina fans would constantly receive hate anon.
But worst of all, fandom projected their Edwina hate on Charithra. The stupid conspiracy of Edwina having "white / whitepassing privilege" reached Charithra, a dark-skinned Tamil woman, who had to defend herself. Anything Charithra says about Edwina, a character she spent months preparing for and playing, is baseless. But racists who hated Edwina on sight know better??? stfu. Charithra wasn't even allowed to say "Edwina was betrayed by everyone," a very lukewarm vague and non-controversal opinion, without haters coming out of the woodwork saying "proof Charithra HaTeS KaTe."
And of course, the never-ending "Charithra stole x y z from Simone" bs. Like when Charithra spoke about the racism she experienced and you fuckers literally said "omggg Charithra should stay quiet and let Simone speak!!!" and Simone wasn't even there lol. Or when "Edwina stole Kate's monologues" when none of the Sharmas were well-developed. Just admit you're racist (and yes this goes to brown fans too) and go.

idk man it’s sociology 101 that we live in a society permeated by racism and misogyny which biases all of us in unconscious ways even if we believe ourselves to be progressive but trying to explain any of that to fandom people sometimes feels like trying to teach an infant calculus

Once again, I am begging people to start questioning the actions of Star Wars writers and executives.
Why is the “greedy, resource hogger” character a fat, disabled man?
Why is the Black man the “violent terrorist whose impacts are useless except to harm others?”
Why are the main characters whitewashed?
Why is the autistic man killed after his disability was finally acknowledged?
Why does the woman die of no reason other than apparent sadness?
Why?
