Maybe I'm crazy...: defilerwyrm: fandomsandfeminism: If you have ever thought to yourself...

If you have ever thought to yourself “Oh my god, why does it even MATTER if there are gay people in this? Its a book/movie/TV show/etc. It isn’t a big deal!” Remember this:

You have probably NEVER, EVER, in your entire life, read a book WITHOUT any straight people in it. 

Think about that. Every story, every TV show, every movie, or book, or comic you have EVER read has had cishet people in it.  Every. Single. One. 

Even shows like Queer as Folk have more recurring straight characters than most shows have recurring LGBTQ+ characters. How sad is that? 

You don’t know the luxury you have in that. 

So before you treat us like we’re whiny and irrational, just remember that we only want a little of what you have ALWAYS had.

New life goal: write a book without any straight people in it.

Ukraine, despite the giant and your performer being peculiarly stood on a rock, you disappoint me. 

You still haven’t managed to surpass your 2007 performance. 

it’s the time of year where everybody looks towards europe and goes “what the fuck”

you know what i love

i love when you find that one character. that character that is your absolute favorite. the character that, just by thinking of them, makes you incredibly emotional. you know that character is the one for you. they’re your number one. and you know you will never love another more

and then they die ✿◕‿◕✿

An open letter to all Fandoms- From a Bisexual Fan

fandomsandfeminism:

Hi Fandoms,

My name is Rosie. I’m 22. I grew up in Texas, about an hour south of Austin. I’m the oldest of 4 children; the child of teachers; on my way to be a teacher as well.

I’m a fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, of anime and manga, of magical girls and pirates. I’m a fanfic writer and reader, a con-goer and a casual cosplayer. I’m a nerd girl and a feminist. 

I like Star Trek and blueberry muffins and really sweet tea mixed with lemonade and cowboy boots and my pet snake and playing N64 games. 

And I’m bisexual. 

In a lot of ways, my bisexuality is one of the least important things about who I am as a person. In other ways it is incredibly important. Being a bisexual woman changes the way the world treats me, the way our society treats me, and, sadly, it changes the way that fandoms and nerd culture and the media treats me. 

And let me just say this: Fandoms, you really suck sometimes. 

Before you click that read more, know this: I don’t speak for all LGBTQ+ fans. I speak only for myself, but this is as honest as I really know how to be, and I think that it’s something that should be said.
