Andrew Garfield on consent and privacy
“if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly.
and the thrilling sequel: “taking meds for that is the easy way out!” right you are my dude, i’m a huge fan of not making things harder than they have to be
people complaining about the lack of content in fandoms lately: maybe if y'all didn’t steal and repost other people’s hard work and actually showed your appreciation for it by liking it, commenting on it, reblogging it, etc, and/or didn’t spend all your time harassing people who like things you don’t like, or like things differently than you, fanartists and writers would feel like producing more work?

so i made some memes
Genuinely getting concerned at how often I'm starting to see legitimate media analysis get brushed aside as "fandom shit," and how often I see people act hostile toward media analysis in general.
Film history, critique, and analysis--specifically in regard to animation--are massive special interests of mine. I fucking love getting into the guts of something to see why it does or doesn't work. I do it at a hobby level, but all of it is part of genuine academic disciplines that people pay money to study.
Same goes for literary analysis. It's a field of study that people spend their careers on. But meanwhile here on tungl dot hell, I see people rip others to shreds for "posting cringe" and "wasting time on fandom shit" when they post any analysis at all of something deemed "stupid fandom garbage."
And then they make "lol blue curtains" jokes and wonder why it seems like folks' ability to critically analyze media is declining.
unpopular opinion but goyim literally is not a bad term and if your response to jewish people saying it is “if you’ll call me that i’ll just call you a jew!” shows that
1. you’re antisemitic, obviously, if your response is to call us a historically dehumanizing term just bc you’re upset
2. you can’t stand being the “other” category for five seconds when we have been our whole lives
3. you’ll only tolerate being the “other” when it’s in pretty words you like such as “non-jewish” or “gentile”
they mean the same thing! jewish people aren’t doing anything wrong by using one over the other, leave us alone lmao
Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.
Trying to make a point to my father.
“But it normalizes—”
IT’S TEN FANFICS ON AO3 FOR A FANDOM THAT NOT EVEN ONE-SEVENTH OF THE POPULATION OF PLANET EARTH KNOWS EXISTS. IT ISN’T “NORMALIZING” ANYTHING, KAREN. STOP CLUTCHING YOUR PEARLS BEFORE YOU CHOKE YOURSELF
If you’re going after fanfic authors instead of Hollywood directors/bestselling authors, you aren’t worried about what’s being ‘normalized’.
You just want an easy target.
