queerpyracy:

baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat

you know what i’m in just enough of a bad mood that i’m ready to nail my grievances to the church door so let’s fucking go

black and white morality wherein anyone who doesn’t believe/think/live exactly as I do is ~~a dirty sinner~~ Problematic and probably a predatory monster

everyone is ~~a sinner~~ Problematic but ~~true believers~~ people who activist the right way according to my worldview are still better than everyone else, and I will act in accordance to this belief in my own superiority to let everyone else know I’m better than them because I ~~found Jesus~~ am the most woke

casual and fucking omnipresent equations of womanhood with softness/goodness/purity/nurturing to remind every woman who isn’t/doesn’t want to be any of those things that they’re doing it wrong

aggressive desexualization (particularly of women’s sexuality, to the point where it may as well not exist at all) accompanied by pastels [not a criticism directed ace ppl having a right to sex-free content and spaces but specifically targeted at a wider problem resulting from the previous point]

YOU’RE VALID AND JESUS LOVES YOU and neither of these platitudes achieves a goddamn thing

historical context is for people who care about nuance and we don’t have time for either (see: black and white morality)

lots of slogans and quotes and nice little soundbites to memorize but does anybody actually study the source material with a critical eye to make their own informed analysis

the answer is no

I’ve been to bible study groups don’t @ me I know what the fuck I’m talking about

~~Good Christians™~~ Nice Gays™

don’t fraternize with/let themselves be influenced by ~~non-Christians~~ those terrible queers

all the media one consumes must be ideologically pure or it will surely harm the children

it is Our Sacred Duty to protect the children from Everything, thus ensuring their innocence/purity/etc until such time as they are idk probably 25 years old

literally just “think of the children” moral panic y’all can fuckin miss me with that

people who don’t conform to the dominant thinking WILL be excommunicated/driven from the social group, and any wrong treatment they suffer will be seen as a justified consequence of their wrong thinking

Thank you for breaking it down like that because so many of us have been saying it but to see a play by play breakdown comparison is just…Thank you.

Observation on Fandom Trolls

fritti13-blog:

I’ve never understood the inclination of some people to go
onto another fans page or fanfiction comments to shit all over someone else’s
tagged work because they don’t like the content. It’s like spying a bag of clearly labeled
black licorice and, knowing the you HATE black licorice, willingly opening the
bag, eating the licorice, then writing the candy company a scathing letter
because their product tastes like black licorice! The logic completely escapes me.

The only reason I can find for someone to read a correctly
tagged story that they KNOW beforehand has content that they will either hate or
find disgusting (to them), and then attacking the author for the content
contained therein, is that they either have an overly inflated sense of self-righteousness
or they like to indulge in general ass-holery.
Either way, they are deliberately trolling for a fight, which is
repugnant.

look, fandom as a whole certainly has its own built-in biases and problems that need to be addressed

but like

every so often i think about all of the deep, nurturing lifelong friendships that only ever happened because one day two internet strangers were like ‘oh hey, we agree on which fictional characters should kiss!’

people who are right now helping each other survive via connections they initially forged by liking the same sailor moon girl or something

the internet is a goddamn garbage pit but it is also a goddamn miracle
