Nah cuz I been clockin the hatred of men as anti-Black anti-Indigenous and transphobic from day one. I’m HORRIFIED by the beliefs/attitudes and mistreatment of (trans, queer, third and cultural gender) men of color that I witness from radfems and TERFs, AND everyday (predominantly yt) queer ppl. Queer men of color and third gender men have been subjected to this abusive treatment for so long that we have become ashamed to be queer ashamed to be proud as men who are attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to hide the fact that I’m attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to feel shame for the fact that I’m attracted to men, have relationships with men, and love being with and identifying as a man. being a man of color is beautiful. Being a man does not make you evil, an abuser, or a bad person. Being a man does not have to be restricted to colonial gender binaries and constructs. We can build our own cultural, traditional masculinities and manhoods that are liberating, not oppressive. claiming that manhood and masculinity are inherently violent is race and gender essentialism.
VI + PROTECTING AND FIGHTING FOR HER FAMILY
“Vi was strong because she was afraid. Her fear of losing us is what made her fight so hard.”
I will never play the video game, probably ever, but the fact that they didn’t use any of these designs for her game counterpart, kills me.

i feel like so many people misunderstand redemption arcs. they’re not about forgiving past actions. they’re not about softening previous behavior. redemption arcs are about realizing past behavior was heinous and resolving to be better, do better. that’s why so many redemption arcs fall apart upon close scrutiny.
It feels like we have this conversation every single time someone is murdered by the police, where there are well-intentioned but still very self-centered leftists insisting that photos and videos of the victim's murder and body be spread to "raise awareness" while the victim's actual loved ones and community desperately plead with the world to stop spreading that shit. It's exhausting and I don't understand why it keeps happening, why we need to go over this every single damn time, why we as a society are incapable of not turning someone's last horrific and painful moments into something to gawk at.
“the met gala is the primary symbol of all that is wrong in society” is a pretty conservative take
