straight creators when they get asked if their character is gay: Art is meant to be interpreted. If you think she is gay, then she is gay. I’m honoured that this character has meant something to members of the LGBTQ community; it’s very humbling that you see your experiences reflected in her. Thank you.

gay creators when they get asked if their character is gay: ya lmao

concept: t’pring and michael were childhood friends. t’pring views michael as a big sister figure and comes to her for advice. whenever spock and t’pring interact, spock always drags michael with him at t’pring’s casual request. they all space-skype each other and gossip about mutual acquaintances while sipping hot chocolate from champagne flutes.

advanced concept: T’Pring had a huge lesbian crush on Michael

t’pring: spock your sister has aesthetically pleasing features and a gifted mind. i would trust her logic on most things

spock: please refrain from this topic.

t’pring: it is logical to discuss her merits. she is heavily involved in both of our lives. is she going to be here today? where is sh

spock: i am leaving

i should be going to bed but i realized that i’ve never shared here that the guy who made eberron essentially said that the reason he thinks elves aren’t considered adults until age 100 is because they spend so much time at elf practice

(to wit: elves train to do things in the exact same way their ancestors did and it takes them literal decades, and, like, they’ve got decades, but it’s fucking elf practice)

hey so yall know that real people aren’t…..”representation”, right? like, like, a trans person existing in [place or time you don’t expect trans people] isn’t……trans rep. theyre a trans person. theyre not representing anything they’re just tryna live their life

Does this include conventions and other public events?

of course it does, why wouldn’t it? a trans person can obviously be a representative for, like, a trans-specific organization, but a trans person existing is not trans representation, because they’re not a fictional character in a story, and people acting like they are is…. why respectability politics happen tbh

as soon as you say a real life trans person who really exists is “trans representation” then you’ve decided that a real life human person’s real life could theoretically be “bad trans representation” or “problematic trans representation”, as if someone can do their own identity wrong, and as if somehow the concept of being trans is negatively impacted by someone’s real life being… morally grey, or “stereotypical”, or something

ceci n’est pas un représentation transgenre, it’s a fuckin’ transgenderer

fuck-ler:

There are powerful private organizations outside the US government that do a much more effective job spreading pro-capitalist propaganda (like Koch organizations) than the government because they position themselves as outsiders. A lot of people reading this propaganda don’t know it comes from billionaires wishing to uphold the system, they think it comes from whatever person is currently on screen. ReasonTV, PragerU, etc. Funded by big oil. This method of spreading propaganda is much more effective today.

It’s not just the government that wishes to keep order, it’s the ruling class as a whole.
