Really Don’t Like How Certain Creators Are Saying ‘black’ And ‘fat’ Are Synonymous Again

sometimes i feel like a fake anime fan bcuz i can’t remember names or plot points 😭

Visual representation of writing one (1) scene and then realizing you have no idea what goes next:

It actually genuinely upsets me how many people are in favour of censorship now. I guess censorship is somehow acceptable when applied to the right targets.

You can disagree with whatever controversial figure you like, that’s perfectly fine, nobody is forcing you to agree with what these people have to say.

But the moment you start calling for these people to be deplatformed, that is the moment when you are no longer in favour of free speech, but of censorship.

What happens when somebody that you actually agree with is censored? Will you stand by your beliefs that censorship is okay, or will you suddenly backtrack and be in favour of free speech again?

Free speech applies to all of us, whether you like it or not. Allowing assholes to have a voice is the price that we have to pay to make sure we retain that right.

If your idea of “social justice” can actually be boiled down to “which group is an acceptable target”, you forgot about the “justice” part.

this is a tweet, but it’s relevant here

Hot take: "this piece of fiction offended me, a marginalised person" doesn't mean "this piece of fiction inherently contributes to dehumanisation of marginalised people". Different people experience oppression and marginalisation differently. What's dehumanising for one person can be validating and empowering for other. Tropes one person find offensive could be a reflection of other person's lived experience.

For example, some gay men feel objectified by BL works but some other gay men actually enjoy BL, identify as fudanshi (male fans of BL) and relate to BL characters.

Some women hate "damsel in distress" trope, other women feel validated looking at a fictional woman whose value is not tied to her achievements, who is important and worth risking lives for her regardless of what she can or can't do.

Some abuse survivors believe any fictional depiction of abuse that's not all pain and suffering is romanticising it. Other abuse survivors such as myself experienced pain and suffering mixed with happy moments, genuine romantic feelings and great sex so "romanticised" abuse in fiction is an actual representation of my experience.

Please remember that your mileage may vary and being a marginalised person is not an excuse to advocate for censorship of all fiction you find offensive.
