Not to point fingers or anything but considering how very little accurate information about and mainstream knowledge there is of asexuality [particularly in comparison to other queer identities] in 2017, after literal years of aces campaigning for it, I find it mighty suspicious that increasingly every exclusionist I see claims to have been “””tricked”” into identifying as ace at an age when information about it was borderline nonexistent and very difficult to find, and the definitions involved were nowhere near as inclusive or accessible as they are today.

Wait are you trying to tell me that rupaul might have some questionable gender politics??

Can’t believe the person responsible for “female or shemale” and “you’ve got shemale” and was the center of a major community discussion around the word tranny isn’t good abt trans stuff! Really makes you think

Also trans women have been saying this for literally years and no one would listen to us and in fact we get accused of hating gay men for it, until this recent interview for some reason, like ru Paul has sucked all along and I’ve been shouting at the void about it on this website for literally years, it’s almost as if trans women know what they’re talking about when it comes to transphobia and letting this get this far was completely avoidable

“Also trans women have been saying this for literally years and no one would listen to us and in fact we get accused of hating gay men for it“ this is very important. 

He’s disgusting. Drag is a really awesome thing, but modern mainstream drag is fucking terrible

Yeah like it’s been difficult to kinda get perspective on drag due to some really bad personal experiences with drag queens but honestly, drag isn’t the problem the problem is that the drag scene has been largely over run by cis white gay men using it as a place where they can insult women’s looks and outfits, act out misogynist stereotypes, and touch other people innapropriately without fear of reprecussion, like, if you want to look pretty and perform a song that’s awesome, however if you create a character to act out misogynist stereotypes and insult actual women’s clothes/looks, you’re just a misogynist using drag as cover, and the drag scene is sadly currently completely dominated by these cis men who ruin it for everyone, and honestly we need to fucking take it back because drag could be an amazing thing if it wasn’t unwelcoming/unsafe for anyone who doesn’t want to blindly accept the toxic parts

“I thought I understood what I was giving up when I made a solemn promise to God to remain chaste for the rest of my life, but that was before I realized I could put on one of these plush cartoon animal suits and engage in sexual role-playing as a fox or cat,” said Roman Catholic priest Father Tom Shamblin, adding that the more time he spent browsing DeviantArt yiff accounts and reading erotic Lion King fan fiction, the more he realized what a massive mistake he had made in joining the priesthood. “I knew it would be a sacrifice, but come on! No one told me I’d also be abstaining from all these amazing conventions. There’s a whole world of fur and fun out there I’m missing out on. What have I done?” #TheOnion

atla has the clearest demonstration of the emo/goth dichotomy of any piece of modern media, i think. we as an audience know that zuko and mai shouldn’t have ended up together, and this is because zuko (an emo) and mai (a goth) are so fundamentally different. in this essay, i will address th

While it is tempting to categorize Zuko as an emo, careful analysis reveals that he is actually a punk. While his constant angst is a symptom of an emo like nature, his lust for justice/ honor, his angry outbursts, and his teenage rebellion are far more in line with the subculture of punk. In my response, I will address th

Attempts by previous scholars to solidly categorize Zuko into either the emo or punk category are doomed to failure because they presuppose a sub-cultural dichotomy where none exists (though I do not debate that Mai is 100% goth). Instead, Zuko inhabits the emo-punk spectrum, with occasional forays into Fucking Nerd. Zuko’s character arc in ATLA can, in fact, be analyzed as the evolution of an Emo into a Punk through personal and external acceptance and love. In my analysis, I will explain how Zuko’s hair is symbolic of th
