Oh, Poor Maul. All He Ever Wanted Was A Friend.

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

this is still such a good post

Imagine you’re some pod racing enthusiast watching the Boonta Eve Classic and some literal child enters with the shittiest scrap pod you’ve ever seen. He built it himself. He then proceeds to absolutely demolish every other professional racer. The kid never enters a race again but his legacy lives on in the hearts of the pod racing community.

About 10 years later, you tune into a news stream to catch some news about the Clone War. The announcer is talking about a particularly pivotal battle, saying something about “Jedi General Anakin Skywalker”

YOU MEAN THAT KID FROM THE BOONTA EVE CLASSIC???

Texas’ HB 3399 bill will kill people if it passes. It will make hormone therapy illegal. For all ages. Period. This was never about women’s sports. It was never about bathrooms. It was never about “protecting the children”. They want us dead. If you’re a fellow trans person and you live in Texas, I strongly urge you to be ready to move somewhere safer.

Not just hormone therapy, but also

This potentially includes

They really, really do want trans people - or anyone who potentially could be trans - dead.

(Tumblr won't let me link the source, but the bill is on Texas Legislature Online .gov)

I forgot to add this: you can use Resistbot to find and write to your state or federal officials, so this is a great tool if you don't know how to go about doing that. If you're a Texas resident, a quick message to your state reps asking them to vote against HB 3399 would be very helpful right now.

Remember to be polite, even if you don't like your official. I usually leave a nice note thanking their staff, too.

They also clearly want any person who can bear a child, to bear a child. This is staunchly anti-birth-control. It's horrifying.

pet peeve is when a fellow hater conducts their haterism such that they leave the hater community vulnerable to attack. “i think characterizing Character A in x way is boring and annoying” = beautiful, flawless, unimpeachable haterism. no one can tell u that u aren’t allowed to find a certain characterization boring. “it is morally/objectively wrong to characterize Character A in x way” = sloppy, reactionary, overcommitting. you have left our eastern flank open to attack girl what the hell….now my dedicated hater troops are taking fire from YOUR enemies fuckkkkk
