#That’s a valid criticism

[bajoop-sheeb]

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here

Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn

#science fiction #fantasy #xenogenesis #earthseed #the broken earth #frankly I think many of the critiques of my own work are valid #but when I see the same criticisms applied to authors who fundamentally changed the genre #I’m like #hold up

#all media criticism is valid AS ALONG AS it is applied without bias #personally I find both peter and kamala endearing #if you hate either of them you may or may not be living a joyless life #but that’s just me! #the marvels #captain marvel #carol danvers #ms marvel #kamala khan #marvel #madeinwundagore

[spineless-lobster]

I love reading my own writing like wow this story has everything I want in it it’s almost like it was written for me or something damn that’s so crazy

#that being said please valid everything I create and if you criticize me I will explode x #writing

do swifties realise criticising taylor swift isn't always “misogyny” and there are valid reasons to not like her?

#taylor swift #anti taylor swift #is it even anti when it's not even blind hate but valid criticism? #swifties dni #she's a white billionaire she's far more privileged than 99% of the world population #i can assure you she's not the poor victim yall make her out to be

Without a doubt the worst part of Taylor being at this level of popularity/fame again is all the people who want to be different and edgy and are claiming she's just an objectively evil man-hating eco-terrorist attention whore all while proudly proclaiming they also know nothing about her bc they don't like her

#i'm not even saying there aren't valid criticisms of her #but I've genuinely seen people claim she's participating in some political scheme to use football to distract from palestine #presumably for the benefit of the capitalist overlords she supposedly worships #and at a certain point you're not being critical you're just rambling madly on the internet about a conspiracy theory you made up #people genuinely get so insane about her and I do not understand why

so i'm not in the atla fandom but i sometimes go on this tag called "katara deserved better"

and tell me why 90% of posts in this tag are about which man katara should've ended up with than about her actual character?

like do you guys care about katara or are you just upset your ship didn't become canon?

#i'm sure there's valid criticisms with how katara was written #but most of what i see here is “waaahhh katara should've ended up with THIS man not THAT man #atla #avatar the last airbender #katara #katara deserved better #rebecca talks

I feel like the same people who are saying Sam is being cheated out of his title as Cap in 2022 are the same people who complained that Bucky should’ve been Cap in 2019…

#I’m not going to deny that Disney is racist #Sam deserves more attention than what he’s getting #That’s a valid criticism #i am 110% pro Sam getting more recognition as Captain America #but I notice a lot of people #*cough* white stucky shippers *cough* #Don’t actually care about Sam when they say that #and just want a reason to ‘jUsTiFy’ being pissy about Peggy

Some of the reactions to doctor who are genuinely baffling to me. I saw one comment from someone who said they'd been watching since 1987 and this new series had totally put them off like. Sorry these episodes didn't match the shakespearean heights of *checks notes* Delta and the Bannermen

#Doctor who #It's campy! It's always been camp! #Like there are many valid criticisms for the new series but “it's a bit silly” is simply not one of them when you take into account #The history of the show #Maestro is no more outrageous than Soldeed or the Black Guardian #dw #Doctor who spoilers

sorry you can't criticize saltburn if your main criticism is "the poor character is evil!!!!1!!!" because he's literally not poor. that's kind of a massive plot point.

#there are so many valid reasons to criticize this movie but sometimes i wonder if anyone else actually paid attention to it #saltburn #one of those movies that i enjoyed but also understand nearly every criticism of #but also so many of them are wrong!!!! so i'm forced to become a full time saltburn defender bc some of you weren't paying attention!!!!!!

[jakeperalta]

every day we inch closer to the inevitable release of taylor's "all the haters are throwing shade at my relationship but I don't care" music about matty and for that reason I live in fear

#i think she has a pretty warped sense of what is valid criticism and what is just senseless haters #after half a lifetime of criticism for ridiculous things #and i really think that's exactly what she's viewing all this as #like they all want to intrude with their opinions!! but it's just me and you baby!!! our love is stronger than the hate!!!!!! #and the fuck of it all is that because she is my favourite artist i will no doubt love the song on a surface level #whilst also feeling sick to my stomach on a genuine level #talking #taylor swift #ts discourse

This blog is not TERF safe.

I have no respect for people who think trans people are inherent predators, just now started existing in the 21st century, should inherently be denied healthcare or not involved in sports, or that being trans is like "blackface" or "appropriation".

Being a man or a woman is not a race or culture because literally every human culture has their own unique gender norms and expectations and even an idea of something beyond that binary- where do you think the term "hermaphrodite" comes from? The Greeks knew what intersex people were. It's why, if I suddenly started wearing a hijab and declaring I "now know what it's like to be Muslim" I'd be called racist. That would be racist because even though I am a woman, I am not Muslim and I don't know what it's actually like to live with those dressing norms/ideologies.

I am a feminist and that applies to all women. Heck, that applies to all people. Feminism IS for everyone, hon.

Even if you're only a boy, you can fight like a girl.
