"Your post wasnt talking speaking out for people with shit parents"

Did u read my post

"It was bitching about a gay kid w shit parents talking about the f a c t that homophobic abuse is worse for gay kids."

#1 - my response to your reblog CLEARLY TELLS YOU that my frustration comes from people in the lgbtq+ community who berate straight kids for talking about homophobic abuse

#2 - the post i was talking about that fueled my frustration to make this post was making fun of straight kids who talk about homophobic parents.

Please learn to read

I saw some post that went something like "haha being gay and having homophobic parents is harder than being straight with homophobic parents because you dont have to be in the closet LMAO" and shit and ngl I seriously want to punch the little shit that posted it because it honestly sucks having homophobic parents either goddamn way.

I have several lgbtq+ friends and the thing about this is that I cannot say shit about them being gay or lesbian or bi or trans because then I get an ass whooping! Yall think straight kids have it any easier than you?? No, dudes, it ain't it.

And even more to this!! I'm not that into dresses or frilly things! I sit in a fuckton of positions on a chair and can somehow manage to crisscross on a school desk, but NOPE can't do that around my parents cause then I get sussed. Then the questions and interrogation comes in. "Why do you act so butchy?" "Stop sitting like a dyke" "What are you, lesbian?". And I swear to god every bit of my soul astra-projects into space when it happens.

Even if my friends friend's mom's brother were gay and my parents found out, I'd get fucked. If I wore clothes I feel comfy in I get fucked. It doesn't matter. No matter what, I never win.

By win I mean not get bomboarded and ass whooped.

So please for the love of god shut up about it. Seriously. If my parents were worse than they already are, I would've been undoubtedly shoved into the mound of kids and teens killed off or disowned because I didn't "seem" straight.

This is a goddamn psa.

Dude if you werent gonna try to see the meaning of my post then please leave and rethink your life and your response. My post is speaking about the many people who berate and harrass others for speaking out about homophobic/transphobic abuse by their parents. So many times have I spoken to someone I thought I could trust with my issues as someone who was questioning my identity to be met with degrading remarks like "stop whining" "its not that bad" "thats just them making observations". As if lecturing your daughter to not hang out with lgbtq+ girls bc "they might do something to you" for hours on end wasn't mental abuse. As if spending two years questioning if I was lesbian or bisexual because my parents would physically and mentally abuse me about my friends or my looks or style or interests that were unladylike or my manners wasn't harmful. As if beating up your daughter for "being a lesbian" and not wanting to birth children wasn't abuse. As if being told that boys who like dresses or wear earrings or nail polish were "that" in front of my male friends at my schools wasn't abuse. And later beating me up again because how could I be friends with boys. Or how could I enjoy a show with lgbtq+ characters and relationships.

And your response is repeating the same thing. The same response I get from the few times I have ever bothered to speak about my parents homophobia and transphobia and let out my anger and frustration and confusion because why did I have to be so different according to my parents? Why did I have to be born this way?

So I reccomend that before you half-assedly answer a post talking about actual child abuse and trauma and someones frustrations on why the world blames them for being so mad at it, take the time to realize that its people making fun of straight kids "whining" about fucking child abuse I'm speaking about.

My dude imma be frank with you, this post was aimed at those of you who treat people like shit and downplay parental abuse simply because you believe, as said sarcastically above, that parents arent as bad with straight kids as with lgbtq+ kids.

I get what your saying here, you think im being a degenerate ahole whos salty at gays but this just makes me want to cry. What was said above in my post is true, throughout my entire life i have been and still continue to be beaten up by my parents for seeming gay. And considering the fact that i stated i h a t e it, and hate homophobic shit in general, i would have thought yall would get my point.

I questioned my sexuality and yes i still get utterly confused because of shit thrown in my face about my appearance, my friends, my other relatives, my actions, etc. I realized after 2 years i was just straight. There was not one day where i was scared to talk about the shows which included lgbtq actors or was stressed out talking to my pan friend with a pride flag because i didnt want my parents to beat me up and force my to never speak with them again. I have friends who I want to keep talking to and be free to speak with on the phone or online. I want to protect my friends from my parents.

So yeah, I cant fucking stand people like you who ignore an entire fucking post, an entire fucking story about someone genuinely afraid of being abandoned or beaten up by homophobic parents just to say "Oh, youre making yourself the victim" because this isnt how shit should be like to you. To anyone. This is me wanting you guys to stop downplaying child abuse in the name of your fucking closet. Please just stop.

Ngl I meant this towards poc in general, like all races n shit but yeah basically what you said above I'm lowkey tired of people calling every punishment by police brutality if it's done to a person of color. Also this reblog has been brought to you by "My colored neighbors aren't going to jail for beating my dad up with a bat because the guy was high when he did it and spent a week in detention with no charges so yaaay" and "im in the ghetto ratatata"

What kind of mentality do tumblr anarchists and socialists have in order to say that deescalating a person threatening to literally kill another person is good in terms of "what social workers can do to help systemic oppression" bc yall have clearly not been threatened like that.

I could go on and on about how carjacking affected my family so bad that we had to starve ourselves so my mom would afford the bus to work, how our neighbors that smoked marijuana refused to stop after we asked despite my family's asthmatic history which affected my little brother the most, how kids in my elementary school knew how to cover up their clothes' scent so their parents wouldn't get caught buying illegal weed, how my best friend told me how he helped his parents when they were high - to cook and clean and drive them places - despite their drug addiction and abuse, but the only thing these so-called anarchists and socialists will see?

"Its oppression", "its systemic oppression pressuring colored communities to do these things out of survival"

Like yeah, sure, but try that on the white people and suddenly it changes to "i cant believe they would do that", "they should have stopped" "they should have tried to help themselves with their addictions" "just another crazy white person carjacking someone"

I could go on about how even thinking about killing or stabbing or physically harming someone is wrong and a person should not be treated as if it wasn't their fault. How serial killers often have these fucked up childhoods or histories with abusive parents or relationships, and how it really doesnt matter if you're gonna start harming people.

And all of you guys would be like "omg yeah, totally, people need to stop justifying bad behaviour with their background", you guys look at white people who commit crimes as bad people who actually deserve a punishment, maybe even look at a white criminal about to murder someone and you would have no problem with police killing that guy - then suddenly see a black person with a knife running full speed at some random person ready to literally murder them and then go "omg just deescalate the situation no need to harm the person that was about to fucking kill a pedestrian that they didnt know"???

Like have any of you actually been through shootings? Through death threats by your own neighbors? Have you slept only to hear a faint popping noise and go full on instinct survival mode because you don't want to get shot up by some gang? Have any of you seen your father go to the hospital beaten up and bruised because some random fellow colored guy decided to mug him?

No? Then seriously shut up.

I have seen police literally shoot up shooters near my school, i have heard their bullets whiz past my head while other students run for fucking cover, i have seen kids in gangs threaten others with knives, guns, or vague threats on their entire family. I have seen kids get neglected and abused by their parents with addictions, i have seen families try to support a mentally unstable relative only to get physically harmed to the point where one almost died, I have seen my fellow classmates dread going home because they would rather be in school than go back, i have had friends with drug addict parents ask me for perfume, for money to buy cologne, to cover the scent of cocaine from police dogs. I have seen people use up all their money on vapes, drugs, alchohol, and then harming their kids, their wives, their friends, neighbors, because of the mood swings. I have seen friends go homeless because their family could no longer afford a house or apartment, since someone was buying for their addictions. I have seen kids and grown ass adults harm people with nails, screwdrivers, knives, broken glass, and even a school chromebook, sending people to the hospital -

And all anyone says is "deescalate the situation, dont harm them"?

I get it, you don't want to kill a person, you want to stop seeing police brutality, maybe you want to stop having the police in general, I wouldn't blame you for that last part, i want police abolition as well.

But you guys better start thinking about being that person about to get slashed by another human being. How your breath stops, how you see all the anger, the hatred, the hunt in the eyes of the person about to harm you. How no amount of "deescalating" will make you forgive or be safe around that person.

You better have some sort of humane fucking punishment for those people or I guarantee the kids of the hood will be rioting.

#Omg they were just a kid #srsly what the fuck #Like what the hell would you do in a situation where someone is DEFINITELY going to get harmed and possibly killed #yeah a kid who was ready and already going to hospitalize or kill another person #Harm is harm and im not risking my life or anyone elses to try to not harm the person who already wants to hurt people

i'm never getting over the fact that romance as a genre, as the HIGHEST selling genre, exists largely because straight women fantasise about being loved and treated kindly by men and men constantly make fun of this because they think it's just that unrealistic that they could cherish women and that women are stupid in the first place for wanting such an impossible thing

#@me #Im sad wtf its so true whyyyy #Straight men fucking shat on pride and prejudice but that was really good like nani dafuq #P-P i just want someone to loveee meee

Why must i post this

Speaking of the MCYT community, Pewdiepie, and many other youtubers, I'm suprised more of you guys are saying Dream cheating and dream stans are important when you have 80 different commentary channels who milk views off of that shit attacking a black commentary youtuber who pointed out one of them saying burn the n*ggers.

Say what you want to this, but it seems like those of you who claim to be these based liberal progressive blm people are just trying SO hard to "cancel" the MCYT community, when you ignore James Charles being a literal pedo. How many of you guys claim that Pewdiepie is some sort of neo-nazi - because lets ignore the fact that he apologized and is now extremely critical of what he says and does because oh, right, he just wants to make jokes and not offend anyone in a terrible way. And then you guys attacked Dream, because he made vids on Pewdiepie, because right - his fanbase are all white alt-right asshole incels. And then you start trickling down from there.

You guys follow the saying "If one nazi sits at a table of 11 people, the other 10 are nazis", yet completely ignore yourself saying bullshit like "Anyone who likes Pewds/ has been in a video with Pewds is a neo-nazi". I guess now Jaiden Animations supports nazis, now its the Odd1sout, based on your ideals, right? Lets name some people who are possibly linked to this shit based on what you degenerates have to say.

Pewds

- Dream - Jaiden animations - Corpse - MrBeast - Karl Jacobs - Jacksepticeye - Valkyrae - Sapnap - Sykkuno - GeorgeNotFound - Technoblade - Philza Minecraft - Wilbur Soot -

As you can see this list is pretty long already.

And it's funny because I have seen so much more shit on MCYT youtubers than actual pedos or frauds. Fuck, I could find less videos and posts on Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Putin combined if I tried.

For me, it's the fact that you guys are trying to wreck something a bunch of people enjoy. Minecraft youtubers? Really? This is what you guys are attacking? It is just downright insane to me that you would rather try to ruin a persons life who isn't even in an important position. Are these people corrupt politicians? Are these people politicians in general? Are they known pedophiles or rapists or sex offenders with reality tv shows? Are they hyper-capitalists ruling over a person's annual salary?

No. They are fucking youtubers, they have big audiences. That is it. They are all normal people who just manage to make funny and comedic videos about a goddamn block game so the fact that you care more about that than people literally suffering on the streets is both scary to me and a major loss on what faith I have left of humanity.

Im bacc and ready to attac anyways its pro choice fact time bitches

Today I am posting this smol psa making aware that being pro life means you forget about every woman who does not want a child and is pregnant. Makes you forget about the fact that after we are born, we have absolutely no say in our own reproductive rights, only our soon-to-be husband, or a boyfriend, or a rapist, not women. Never women, so stop using the fact that your a woman to defend yourself from the countless women who want to be able to tie their tubes without being told a man has to be there to confirm if HE wants it. From women who are told to have a child by their partners when they don't want to. From women who are told time and time again that they have to wait until a man swoops in and allows us to do shit as if we are still stuck in the 1800s.

And its all true. This pro life ideology is exactly like a man's thought on women from the 19th century. Being a pro life woman does not make your opinion better than pro choice women, it makes you worse than pro life men. Because in the end, you are deliberately ignoring so many women around the globe who would rather die than have a child, who never wanted a child in the first place, who got impregnated by a rapist and want an abortion, who want to start making their own life decisions on how to have a child without someone telling them they need a mans approval.

And being pro life means you guilt trip every woman who has had an abortion. Means you forget about the women who were forced to be impregnated multiple times to have a male child. Means you forget the women who have to put up with throwing away everything they wanted to be in life because their partners wanted a child. Means you forget about women who are maimed for being a skank and having a child they wanted to have at a young age. Means you not only forget, but deliberately ignore the women screaming about their issues with pro life, and how no, it isnt "life" your protecting, its a mans "right" to a womans bodily autonomy.

So next time you see the words pro life, remember that "women" doesnt count as that life after impregnation.

I hate when parents act like they own their kids. Whenever I enter a store with my family my parents always find ways to shit on the way I talk, act, look in front of people. They have been the main source of my overwhelming anxiety.

Suppose a kid will show their parents something they like. While they start getting excited and start showing their parents stuff, while acting in the way the kid finds normal to themselves. And the parents taunt them. Make fun of them. Call them names.

I couldn't fucking blink at my mom or follow an odd looking shadow on the wall while speaking to my mom because then she starts going off on how much of a traitor and backstabber I am for "rolling my eyes" or "giving a look".

And god forbid I cross my legs "like a dude", or eat "too fast/like a pig", or walk "like a sloth", or talk "like a dude" or like something made by a lgbtq+ person, or watch shows meant for kids my goddamn age.

Not a single person has done more damage to me than my parents. And they act like it's "out of love". I get guilty and feel like actual chains are on my wrists. I feel like an actual slave when my parents demand to get something next to them that they can easily move themselves only to stand up halfway and feel their hands slam my head down again because I apparently rolled my eyes when in actuality I just moved my eyes upward with my fucking body like any human does.

And this shit happens to the majority of colored kids. I fucking despise these poc stand up comedians who mock white kids for having it easy and praise colored moms who literally abuse their kids in the name of love. I hate seeing colored kids get their asses kicked as well as mine for failing classes and having to laugh it off at school and I hate seeing colored kids get chewed out by their parents for blocking their hits I hate seeing this shit I hate it.

What does it take dor abuse to be abuse? Why do people defend this shit when the majority of colored kids hide their interests and get a head start to depression and trust issues because of these fucking "tiger moms" and "helpful dads" abusing their child mentally and physically and emotionally to the point that most of us have no idea what it feels like to cry except when we get our asses kicked again and again and again until we eventually turn 18 and have a very real fear of turning into our parents when we have kids with no social skills.

Back To School

I'm scared to go to school. Irl. To get vaccinated for me is obviously out of question - of course I want the vaccination. I am not scared because of covid. Not of embarrassment. And not out of agoraphobia. Not because I don't want to go to school. Not because I want to drop out. Not because of bad teachers.

Because of school shootings.

I watched the psa made for school shooting awareness. And I cried when I saw the third clip. I cried over and over again, and somehow I rewatched it. Over and over and over again. The same video. I couldn't stop.

After awhile I did, obviously. But the fear that was brought up again is giving me nausea. I guess surviving a close encounter with a "possible" school shooter will do that.

I rewatched it and saw comments saying it was the kid closing his locker that had a gun in his backpack. But when I saw it, his face had changed when he closes the locker like he sees something or rather someone.

And then I saw the comments saying it gets "progressively darker at each scene" and it isn't getting darker. It's showing when the shooter is already there. When his presence is not know and when kids nearby start to realize there is a school shooter to the realization where now, everyone knows there is a school shooter.

I hate that people across America are refusing to see that allowing guns still allows this stuff. I hate that adults have the audacity to look at me when I say other kids and I have heard bullets go by me and some of them didn't even live to tell what happened. I hate how other conservative kids and millennials refuse to listen because they want to continue to buy and sell their stupid guns and I hate how people think that by having a gun it would make it any different as if they were smarter or faster than another person with an AR. I hate this. I really hate it. And I hate seeing progressives buy the belief that owning a gun as a poc makes you more protected than if you didn't because in the end, when there are literal kids screaming in your face about their own experiences with gun voilence you go fucking blind and deaf. You refuse to listen when kids beg, plead, demand, protest for gun laws and restrictions and regulations but no, because you can't "protect" yourself it can't happen and more kids will die because of it. I hate seeing progressive blogs post shit about 3d printing your own fucking guns because the man about to shoot my school up had 3d printed his and it still makes zero difference! The police shooting him didn't make a fucking difference because if it weren't out of sheer fucking luck that a girl barely missed a bullet by the police she would have died at the hands of the people who tried to "protect" themselves and us. You bet that people are still going to run away even if you are a "good guy with a gun". Do you people think about stray bullets hitting other people even if it was by your gun? About captive situations? No. You don't.

In the end, when you know a shooter is at your school. When you have everything to lose and your life is on the line, only then do you people listen. And I fucking hate it.

The blood is on your hands! It. Is. On. Your. Hands. Whether you like it or not. I'm tired of trying to explain it.

Spread awareness to this if you can. Find petitions for gun restrictions. Anything. Just please stop supporting the massive industry of guns.

Stop And Read Please

This is a serious post.

For a long time I have been meaning to talk about the recent surge I have seen in MCYT youtuber controversies. Shit that really doesn't bother a normal person, but neo-liberals and conservatives get high off of anger from.

As a kid - a literal high schooler - the amount of hatred and thirst to just bust someone for being homophobic, a cheater, a anti-semite-

It is just so unbearable to try and fit all of these quotas, everything someone could get offended from, into one person. And this shit is being pedastaled onto 20-something year old and literal minor-aged youtubers?

To the point that I find it both impossible and inhumane and outright abusive to demand a person with millions of people watching their every digital move to suddenly just KNOW everything that could ever be "offensive".

Ranboo had to have a serious stream where he apologized for his "lesbophobic" tweets, which is funny considering the idk 19 closest lesbian friends all have read to me and repeated in a jokingly manner. Who all literally responded to this to me by saying they didn't even get offended, but rather thought it was a joke? And I am seeing this streamer. A fucking minor. Say he didn't even know it was offensive.

Meaning he was literally joking, he wasn't trying to offend anyone. His tweets were meant to make people laugh.

So seeing this streamer have to go through this shit made me realize that it isn't just about these youtube channels that milk views off of mcyt clout. It's actual people abusing their "moral" onto people that genuinely want good and slapping them with "responsibility" - a new word they use instead of outright saying "Hey, just like an abusive parent I am going to watch your every move and if I see you do something slightly "offensive" or "wrong" to me, just me, I will punish you by making you say 200 times that it was wrong and then I'm going to make 12 videos on it."

And people are going around arguing that no, they SHOULD abuse literal young adults and fucking minors because YES these people should know about every fucking offensive thing on the planet. And "dismissing these actions".

Dismissing what I ask? Dismissing your abusive nature to try to make a human your pure fucking molding of a being? Is that it? Because that is EXACTLY what I am seeing nowadays.

Nobody is pure, and EVERYONE - you hear me? Everyone - makes mistakes. It doesn't fucking matter if your a minor or an old person or if you are lgbtq+ or colored, it doesn't matter.

What actually matters is the message you tried to send. Whether you are trying to be a good person or not. If you are learning about how to be a person and accepting it or not.

And learning doesn't mean speedrunning through constant apologies for "controversies" that don't even matter to the majority of human beings. It means learning slowly about both yourself, how you want to treat others, how you want other people to treat others, and how you try to fix your past mistakes.

So pressuring the fuck out of youtubers who have to constantly be careful about what they say, what they do etc to now gain more weight onto their shoulders by apologizing for every possible scenario that they were being offensive to a few degenerates? Sounds like what my abusive mom does to my brother and I.

I'm tired out of my mind so I will reblog this later on and add more. Goodnight.

@babblingfishes I agree but people also need to apologize. Whether or not you are trying to be a better person I think that we get stuck on the version of us now so many people start arguing whether or not they need to apologize. "because im a better person now means I dont need to apologize" which if that is the case for any peeps, then no, you are not a good person.

There is also the case when people "lose faith in themselves to be a better person" which is honestly just a shitty take that often gets abused to the point where I don't believe it is true. If you lose motivation to be a better person, then congrats, you suck. That's like excusing bullying with "they have a bad life/ feel miserable which is why they punched a kid".

In the end, what you did to a person damaged them. They do not have any obligation to forgive or feel safe around you even if you suddenly gained advice from Jesus himself. People will know you changed when they see you are kinder NOW but they dont have to forgive your PAST SELF.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

I have to let some steam out on the topic of blackwashing and since this platform is me yelling into a void, I think this is the best place to do so.

Considering the various times I have gone over to an anime and seen a tanned or dark character only to then go to twitter or tumblr and see people going on about how they didn't sound black enough, and how saying that is racist yada yada....sets a confusing light on how black and white people see non-western media. Both black and white people have continously bought the idea that a character or person from non-western countries nor Africa is suddenly black because they're tanned and it sets the bar pretty low for "inclusivity" considering you guys demand people from Asia to be "more inclusive" while ignoring the big boi fact that suprise suprise there's less than 3% black people there.

While you simultaneously demand that every tanned character is black. I have seen passive agressive comments ranging from "black asians exist" to "its not confirmed if they are not blasian" and it pisses me off how every other minority group is screaming that not every tanned character is black, just because they have dark skin doesn't mean they're black, it depends on melanin, etc, and to see you specifically demand people from places where there's basically less than 20% black people, United States and England included, to suddenly bust their ass just for blacks is insane at the least and downright fucking rude at most.

And then to say that you only want those people to bust their ass for blacks because there are less black creators in the media and then turning a blind fucking eye at the amounts of black creators there already are? Like sure go ahead and scream you want inclusivity and representation while not even looking for black creators to support. When there are so many already.

It just astounds me how as a latina, I have been searching for latina/latino creators and media, and I see that so many hispanics/latinos support them, but considering the fact that there are extremely low amounts of shit for latinos/hispanics when we are the biggest minority group, then searching for black people in the media and finding so many already?

The demand for black inclusivity doesnt even line up with the amount of already inclusive films, books, shows, comics, etc, because there are already so many!! You guys want Disney to become inclusive and not realize maybe you should just stop demanding they do it and fucking raise the roof for already inclsive studios? Because coming from my research, I'm telling you that if you put the same effort for pushing Disney to do something they already have shown they dont want to do and put it into a studio and creators that already do it, we'd have already abolished disney and replaced it with something better. But NOOOOO it can't just be easy, we can't have nice things.

It's odd to me considering every other "black inclusive" film I have watched features multiple racist stereotypes of asians, hispanics, and middle easterners with a hint of misogynistic shit, and with trash writing capabilities and it really shows that nothing is changing, because as long as the main character is black and breaks stereotypes it's suddenly the most progressive thing in existence? Really? It's almost as if people are using progressivism to sheild their shitty plots and writing and lack of actual creativity.

That being said, I wanna remind you all reading that this isn't me saying blacks already have enough representation. But it is me saying that 1) not every tanned character is black or mixed with black most of the time non-black marginalized races make them, 2) Stop saying there aren't enough black creators (there are) and start searching for them and please do support them, and 3) stop upholding black-made films or "black inclusive" films just because they are "progressive" and actually take the time to see if there are other racist stereotypes and if the writting is even good.

I think I let it all out but I might reblog this with more stuff so yeet my broskis.

The problem with this though is that these inclusive shows DO fuck shit up.

Korra: her bisexuality was shown yes, but it was so forced that it felt like every other straight ship and the storytelling was turning out to be thrown between action to love triangle, Nickalodean even told the studio that they couldn't show gay relationships

Steven Universe: the ending just.... yeah i couldn't

Voltron: Honestly? Everyone was hurtling shit about the character's sexuality, and again, forced ending

She ra: Completely deprived the entire cast of their juicy backstories, remember Glimmers aunt? Who has zero personality other than being the annoying aunt? Her entire plot with Shadow Weaver got yeeted. They removed Adora's brother, he-man, for the sake of "female empowerment" (it was honestly like watching a fanfic self insert on the last seasons)

Owl house: people debating sexualities, more awkward forced plot devices

I found out that studios know that shows are the hype at the first three seasons, so they will either mess it up purposely to milk more attraction or let it slowly die out while not putting as much effort into it.

I do agree with @bizarrolord tho.

People will push for more diverse representation in media, but will also viciously tear apart any diverse media that doesn’t meet their unattainable standards of perfection.

It’s an inevitability. Anytime a new series comes out that prominently features LGBT+ or POC representation, people will place that series on a pedestal and go on about how “progressive” it is.

Then the second the showrunners make a mistake or have to compromise, they will immediately turn around and start trashing it, claiming they never liked it at all, and will start going on about how it’s racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.

It doesn’t matter what their intentions were. It doesn’t matter how small the mistake was. It doesn’t even matter if they’re a part of the group they’re being blasted for offending. Their show will go from being widely praised to the worst thing ever, and they’ll be treated like the second coming of Hitler.

If this shit keeps up, people are going to be afraid to even TRY to make their work more diverse. No matter what they do, it will never be good enough, so why bother?

It happened with Korra, it happened with Steven Universe, it happened with Voltron, it happened with She-Ra, and let’s be honest, it’s probably going to happen with The Owl House too.

How about we just… stop? Instead of tearing these shows apart for what they did wrong, why don’t we praise them for what they did right?

What “strong female character” was supposed to mean: female character that is given the same depth afforded to male characters and her role in the story is not reduced to mere love interest

What Hollywood execs think it means: female character that punches stuff and doesn’t have a love interest, hashtag feminism
