  • I was arguing with a tankie who was defending the use of an ableist slur. I told them fine, whatever, call me a f-----. I was making a point about how they would call mentally ill people slurs, but wouldn’t do the same to me. Implying I thought they were a bigot, and they’d attack me too if there were as few consequences. They weren’t a good person, they were just being civil according to social norms. I don’t care about civility, I care about meaning what you say. Practicing what you preach. F----- is how I feel tankies see me, on a certain level. Stalin said being gay is bourgeois decadence. He put us in gulags. I don’t feel safe around Stalin worshippers, and when they attack other minorities, I feel aware of that. I see how their respect is an act.

    I’d rather be called a f----- than have them insist they’re my allies. And it took a lot of self control just now to delete those five letters and turn them into dashes. I want to talk openly about how I feel seen by those people. This pretense, not using the words that match how I feel I’m seen, it feels like the same thing. Having to practice civility around people who would lynch me if Dear Leader told them to. I’d prefer slurs.

    Funny how The Owl House, Dead End, Korra, Little Demon, Infinity Train, Steven Universe, and Lower Decks got by without glorifying the monarchy. It’s almost like having a queer person in your show isn’t an excuse to teach monarchist propaganda to children.

    What’s next, the queer Birth Of A Nation remake? Mein Lesben Kampf? Let’s give J K Rowling a billion dollars to make a spinoff show where Hermione is gay.
