Theysilencedthem - Tumblr Posts

the fact that misha feels terrible about us being sad makes me sick. it's digusting that the cw isn't owning up to their mistakes, making an actor say something about the spanish dub, and then feeling terrible about how he couldn't help the fans get the recognition we deserve. censorship is fucked i've had my last fucking straw pulled. misha is one of my favorite actors, and often is my inspiration for wanting to follow into the acting business. but when i see shit like this happening? someone needs to fucking own up and say some shit. an actor who poured everything into the confession, giving the queer fans something we really needed, should not feel sorry for what has happened.

while i will write for the other requests i've gotten, i'm going to take break from writing just because of all the crazy things that have been happening

Supernatural had the opportunity to do something great. To send a message of love and validation to a whole community. Not only to the part of the community that liked their show, but to all of us. But instead they decided to pander to the people, who never had to fight for their representation.

I support #TheySilencedYou, #TheySilencedThem and #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs and I'm in awe of all of you. Of your eloquence, passion, coordination and decisiveness. And I feel like your message goes beyond this particular TV show and the CW.

It's about protesting a pattern of disrespect towards otherness in Mainstream Media. It's about demanding meaningful, unmistakably queer representation, that enables discourse and furthers understanding in a heterogenic audience. It's about asking Networks to not only hire diverse staff but to also give them the freedom to tell their stories the way they want to. It's about telling creators to own up to the inherent messages they leave us with in the end.

And that's inspiring and should be celebrated.

Stories matter.

anyways i think someone should tip travis mcelroy off to making a statement about the queer censorship in s*pn with the fandom hashtags. like he wouldnt be all over a massive public boycott of the c* by the gays tm

ALRIGHT KIDS

I MAY REGRET RELEASING IT THIS EARLY, BUT, 

POLOL HAS MADE A BREAKOUT SERVER TO ORGANIZE THIS.

We’re currently in the process of cross-pasting our various work and setting up rooms. However, if you need a sort of central organization zone beyond scraping around on various twitter and tumblr hashtags, come in.

Just pardon the dust it is LITERALLY being put together actively. I just didn’t want the core POLOL server to get fucking buried.

Notice: You are going to have to drop a link of your socials in the apply-to-join section. If we don’t recognize who the fuck you are, you’re not gonna get access beyond the initial chatter section, for a variety of reasons. The moderators WILL review your social media history to make sure you’re not an anti clown trying to subvert efforts or a corporate stooge trying to get ahead of the ball on what’s going on.

This server is also open for other movement organizers we well (TSY/TST, etc), and the organizers and leaders of those groups just need to contact me and I’ll drop you admin perms in a flash so it’s not JUST my party.

Boost the link with the same force you guys did my OP guys, thanks.

Do it.

Seeking: Other pissed off CW fandoms, past or present, that feel particularly screwed by the CW in treatment of their content. 

Rebagel, pass along, leave a note if this describes you and you, too, have the urge to want to kneecap them. There’s already some pretty successful kneecapping going on. But let’s make it wider.

(The methods are varying degrees of effort. I will not actively reply to this post for at least 2 days regardless of if it takes off or not.)

(Easiest step: just blast this and tell everyone to unfollow any official CW_Whatever account they’ve ever followed. If you don’t want to take it further, that’s fine, we’ll be gouging them at their advertisers while their value drops on more shows than this but you know. It does work.)

Would be great if we could just use the power of tumblr’s gay rage to passive aggressively spread this into infinity.

Unfollow their accounts, reblog this post, and move on if you want. Or feel free to dive into the full blown tire fire.
