ive spoken about this before i think but i always find it really weird how there are such large portions of like… general fandom on tumblr prides itself on being really, really, good at thinking critically about fictional media, especially through a social/political lens… but then will turn around and act like there’s no crime worse than testing the internal limits set up by that media and that anyone who ‘violates’ whatever canon code a work has needs to be banned from participating in that fandom and it’s really silly and contradictory. how do u criticize the flaws of a work and at the same time act like the very cause of those flaws is sacrosanct and cant be Blatantly Contradicted ever, even in cases where the canon in question… really needs to be contradicted, because canon does not write itself and often has all of the same biases as its creator. & its not like i’m describing two different camps as if theyre all the same people - ive seen people be like “well i KNOW the canon/lore/writing/etc is ~problematic~ but that’s NO excuse for having headcanons that completely disregard it!!” and like. why. why is that no excuse? why is it more excusable for a work to be openly misogynistic or racist or transphobic or otherwise bigoted than it is for someone to consciously try to overwrite those aspects of a work that they otherwise enjoy? how does that even make sense on a basic level

basically what im saying is please chill the fuck out about perceived slights against imaginary and more often than not heavily flawed canons for the sole reason that they’re inaccurate, it’s really not worth the energy and is just generally unpleasant and unproductive for everyone involved u absolute pedantic nerds

alright so ive seen this compilation post, uploaded by batmanisagatewaydrug around a million fucking times and i’m reuploading it instead of giving it more notes because it’s already at like 220k or something ridiculous like that and i’d just like to say

  1.  theroguefeminist isnt exactly known for phrasing things well & is not always well liked among sj people. what i think they were trying to say is that it’s important to recognize valid parts of people’s identities, as the original post seemed to endorse the “I don’t see you as (x)” sort of mentality
  2. i call bullshit on the messages. OP just wanted notes at the expense of feminism
  3. thebitterfrenchcanadian’s faq confirms that this is a joke and you are all gullible
  4. wolfstirfry’s sidebar says ‘that post was a joke’ on it
  5. it’s not anyone’s responsibility to educate people who are hurting them, and the commenter was making the point that OP was unlikely to have experienced that
  6. troll anon. see use of vuv and incorrect understanding of cultural appropriation
  7. emeralddragoness has deleted but honestly i think this boils down to what a person is comfortable with themselves and OP was rlly rude in response
  8. troll anon again
  9. the way this is full of buzzwords and the cutesy emote at the end makes me think its a troll post although dating, as it doesnt exist in nature, is technically a social construct (not that that’s a bad thing)
  10. this was posted by a literal neo-nazi white supremacist, formerly known as sophia-kaminski. she’s literally the furthest thing from social justice you can get. also, a note to the commenter, race is not just skin color

conclusion: tumblr is gullible as hell and will take any excuse to hate minorities who are sticking up for themselves

  2. me making decisions in real life: well what's the worse that could happen
