why must a film be “viewed”? is it not enough to see select homoerotic scenes in gif form, low quality?

gender is a game and im losing. gender is a sport and im sitting in the grass picking flowers
i really, really wish i had the energy and research-devotion to write a long post about how movies about white gay people are used to promote harmful ideals using the guise of “well, the main characters are gay, therefore this is progressive.”
i know for a fact that call me by your name was written by a pedophilic straight man to equate pedophilia with gayness, so audiences would go to the film for the “tragic” gay story and then normalize the pedophilia
but i think it extends past that film. like age gap gay media is a PROLIFIC issue and i think it’s happening for similar reasons as CMBYN
that stupid lesbian christmas movie normalized stalking/tracking your partner
“my policeman” is a film about a white gay cop and his sad sad life was announced during the peak of 2020 BLM and is getting announcements like “harry styles is in it with his cock out” this week during all of this tragic, awful news about cops murdering innocent black people
i know we love to focus on the immediate shit like “this villain is coded as gay” or the effects of tropes like bury your gays where it’s pretty clear that the representation is meant to hurt gay people or whatever
but there is a LOT of “positive” gay representation–often with white characters as the vehicles–that ushers in harmful messages that hurt groups that AREN’T white gay people and i think a lot of people ignore it because they just want gay rep that doesn’t hurt and put aside all other morality.
and it goes to show that the white target audiences for these projects need to be more critical and disavow this shit, not just readily accept it because “we need to take all the rep we can take, there’s no such thing as bad representation if both characters live to the end.”
and instead of settling for no representation or GASP looking at representation that ISN’T about WHITE lgbt narratives, we just keep giving these films and books and whatever other form of media platforms and attention because somehow it’s meant to uplift all gay representation in the hopes that maybe one day we’ll get something that isn’t low-to-highkey evil.
and i just don’t have sympathy for that outlook. there is a wealth of lgbt content that isn’t about crying for cops or shipping an adult with a teenager or whatever the fuck else. what about those narratives makes you feel seen as a gay person? whatever it is, that’s an internal problem you need to fix about yourself.
i hold it as absolute truth that being trans is holy. not only because i have found a welcoming home unlike any other in the trans community but because what is divinity if not creation and what is being trans if not creating your own path. transness is not a burden, it’s a gift. life as a trans person is not easy, obviously, and not everyone is going to feel the same about their transness. but to me, it’s a beautiful and expansive thing, meant to be reveled in.
anyways reminder that people with ocd dont “secretly like” or want to act on their intrusive thoughts and implying so is terrible for us and you should care about people with ocd. thank you.
incredibly grateful that tumblr doesn’t have a memories feature like every other social media platform because frankly i am terrified to even think about what kind of tomfoolery and hooliganery i was getting into 6 years ago on this website
billionaires could literally actually work that much harder than everyone else and i still wouldn’t give a shit, distribute that now lmao
when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)
u are the company u keep. if ur best friends with radfems, if u allow terfs and nazis into ur servers and ur spaces, if u allow them to make their arguments and spread their rhetoric unchallenged to the other trans people in ur life, it doesn't matter if u never espouse those arguments urself. u allow them to exist around u and reach the people who will be most harmed by them
it doesn't matter what ur gender is or who u are. ur actions are what matter and ur actions show that u are an unsafe person for other trans people to be around because u make urself a safe person for radfems and terfs and white supremacists to be around.
if u surround urself with shit don't be surprised when ppl tell u to leave because u fucking stink
On that list of "Words Tumblr Needs To Either Learn Properly Or Unlearn Entirely", I would like to add 'fetishize'.
Everyday thinking about how Joan of Arc was a trans man <3
The customer is always right saying needs to die.
You just fall into it, happily, by accident
