🧍🏻‍♀️😭🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s like really *eye roll emoji* to see these white actresses do this “And men suck!” *hold for applause* shit they do every single time someone hands them a mic. Women like Emma Stone and Scarletfever Johnson stealing roles from women of colour and then having the audacity to get on stage and talk about inequality while downplaying the accomplishments of non white men or Natalie Portman signing a petition protecting a pedophile who hurt and traumatized young girls getting on stage and talking about oppression against women…it’s laughable. They don’t care about women, they care about white rich women that’s literally it. everyone else is a hindrance, not even an afterthought at this point. 

legitimately praying and hoping for the safety of american lgbt+ people and communities. you are valid, you matter, you are not alone, and it will be okay. you are valuable. you are powerful. it is not your fault. i believe you, and i believe in you. the sooner we come together as global communities and protect each other the better, hotlines for the usa are below, please don’t hesitate to talk to me if you ever need someone to listen to you.

i think what bothers me the most about ian’s/alex’s twitter rant about “fandom mob mentality” is the group that is going to benefit most from it.

like, it won’t be the young kids out there who are inadvertently drawing rose skinny, drawing different character pairings, drawing weird crossovers, or who are creating swarms and swarms of OCs (which i assume/hope is who ian/alex were talking about in reference to their tweets) because yes, they should absolutely be free to draw any of these things without feeling threatened.

but nah, the group that is going to benefit most from the “draw whatever you want uwu” attitude is going to be those who have been drawing child porn/incest/purposefully hurtful art since day 1 and are now completely validated in doing so and shutting down those who are opposed

i mean, it’s not as if there was anything really stopping them in the first place (aside from the handful of times reporting them has worked) and i doubt there’s going to be a sudden jump in any of that stuff being drawn.

but ian’s/alex’s message is still benefiting the wrong group and exacerbating a complex situation rather than discussing it and/or quelling it. “just do whatever lol” dismisses those who (rightfully) feel uncomfortable in a space that promotes child porn and validates those that have been drawing/reblogging it. plus they both know that tacking on “just go outside lol” at the end of their vague rant wouldn’t do anything to move the conversation forward so here we are.
