k bye

i have regretted many things in my life

but perhaps i will never regret anything more

than the thundercats vortex　

into which i have unwittingly fallen

and dragged mem w/ me

write a genfic about cheetara

immediately get a review from a person

complaining about how “annoying” her characterization is in the show 

and saying that i treat her with respect

just like [group of writers] who write prodigiously terrible lion-o/cheetara fic about how tygra is the worst and doesn’t really care about cheetara or her feelings, cheetara is weepy and/or foolishly blind to lion-o’s twu wuv, and lion-o is nobly suffering in silence about this most horrific of betrayals

oh and sometimes cheetara just hates tygra… because he speaks his mind…

i see……………..

It would be awesome if people would stop interpreting the negative reaction to Joan Watson as either sexism or racism. I don’t give a damn if they make Watson Asian, it’s kind of weird considering the character isn’t but it doesn’t fundamentally change anything so it’s ok.
However swapping the p for a v changes quite a bit, and not being happy about that does not make someone sexist.
For one thing, odds are they are now going to hook Watson and Sherlock up. And I don’t see a problem with that except for the fact that they had to gender swap Watson to do it, implying that it wasn’t ok to hook them up when they were both men. And that just makes me sad. It’s 2012! It’s time people stop pretending that gay is a thing that only happens to a friend of a friend. Homosexuality is all around you and you know what’s awesome? Pretending it isn’t doesn’t make it go away. So mainstream media ignoring it in favor of heterosexual storylines doesn’t make the ‘problem’ disappear, it makes today’s youth, who I might add are more tuned into media than ever before, feel like their lives and romances are inferior because the characters they identify with are secondary or tertiary.
I’m not saying make Watson a man again and hook them up because Sherlock is a very famous work and actually doing that would piss off a lot of fans that don’t like slash shipping. But that doesn’t mean a channel can’t start fresh with some other show that doesn’t have a built in fan base already.
And take a cue from Torchwood when you do. You don’t see Jack Harkness angsting over his sexuality. You see him kicking alien ass and having a relationship with someone who happens to be a man. People who are of non heterosexual flavors don’t spend ever moment of their loves existentializing on their sexual identities. They do the same things as everyone else. Now show us that on television.

What the fuck did I just read.

“Don’t actually make Sherlock Holmes queer, because that would just be too shocking! Make some other show gay, though; I wouldn’t have a problem with that. But not Sherlock Holmes. And not a show with an actual built-in fanbase. …But hypothetical lady!Watson/Holmes is still definitely homophobic, because of reasons.

So in conclusion, it’s probably for the best if you would all just keep your ladies and gays away from Sherlock Holmes, the end.”

(Also what in the fuck is ‘kind of weird’ about making Watson Asian? Jesus.)

Good lord, did you actually read what I said at all?

That isn’t even close to what I said.  I said that they shouldn’t try it with Sherlock because those books are very well known pieces of literature, and people already have ideas of the way they should be, and despite how tumblr may make the rest of the world seem, not every fan is a slash shipper.  So going in and actually producing a show about Sherlock in which he and Watson are a couple wouldn’t go over well with the general public.  The same goes for suddenly making one of the characters a chick.  It’s not gonna go over well with people who already love the source material.

And yes, lady!Watson/Holmes is homophobic because it implies that they couldn’t possibly have a relationship as two men.

“So in conclusion, it’s probably for the best if you would all just keep your ladies and gays away from Sherlock Holmes, the end.”  Um, what?  I have no problem with women on Sherlock Holmes.  Irene Adler is awesome.  I have a problem with taking a male character and suddenly deciding “you know what, let’s give him lady parts.”  If they decided to make a female character male I would be just as upset.

As for the Asian part, I said that it didn’t matter.  I said it’s kind of weird because I don’t see the point in changing a character’s nationality, but as long as it doesn’t affect the character’s personality I have no qualms with it whatsoever.  And I don’t see why it would affect a character’s personality so I’m completely, 100% fine with it.

So next time you decide to complain about something, try actually reading what you’re complaining about.

Child…

oh my glob

that awkward moment when someone apparently doesn’t understand the words coming out of their own mouth

lorycannotsupinate:

glamaphonic:

omg

i can’t

a) no he said some shit that reflected wildly problematic attitudes that no one has ever been given any reason to think he does not still hold which means that he said some problematic shit and if i want to call it out for what it is i will

b) it’s not my job or responsibility to educate every racist/homophobic/whatever motherfucker that crosses my path and it’s certainly not my job or responsibility to do so for random ass celebrities i’ve never met and will never have any reason to meet. no imma in that case imma stick with. and no one gives a fuck about his life experience. there is literally nothing in his life experience that would somehow magically make the shit he said okay.

c) well pin a fucking rose on your nose. i do give a shit. ~impasse~

d) why the fuck do you assume i think this is a new discovery? or that that matters at all? is this the statute of limitations again?! also i have more important things to ~hate~ than martin freeman given that i do not give half a fuck about martin freeman and never have.

d) yes and as a black queer woman i have faced many and various stripes of horrible discrimination which has shit all to do… with anything… because if you’re fucking wrong, you’re fucking wrong. if you don’t want to be upset about any given expression of institutionalized racism and homophobia and whatever else then that’s your prerogative, but sitting around trying to excuse people for their shit because they’re on shows you like by dismissing the concerns of other marginalized people sure as fuck isn’t going to help you have fewer fucked up instances of discrimination happen to you.

e) yes it’s me. i am the racist. for finding most of tumblr’s miscellaneous interchangable white dude obsessions boring. that is a totally reasonable and rational conclusion at which to arrive.

if you can’t why did you, oh my god

a) No one has ever been given a reason to think that he still does believe that.

b) It’s not your job, of course it isn’t, but this is mindset I see on tumblr: I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT BUT IT’S NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU. “No one gives a fuck about his life experience” And there’s the other problem. Maybe if you did, you’d understand why he thinks that way he does.

c) You don’t give a shit, okay, except, again, he didn’t call anybody a nigger, he was referencing that he heard it in song lyrics.

d) Okay, so we both are queer minorities and yet have different life experiences and have learned different things from them. Getting a point?

e) Well yeah, pretty much. To generalize all these people as being boring and emphasizing their being white? Yeah, that also makes you a judgmental asshole.

People get mad over shit and don’t try to understand things and that’s what bothers me. You all want to see the worst in him.

I will keep defending him until he either proves himself to not be a racist or until he calls us all dirty niggers.

But again, this is Tumblr. I don’t expect the understanding and acceptance that the site claims to preach, especially when it has people on here who call Martin Freeman a boring, white male because he’s white and is “interchangeable”. Yes, there are so many white people like Martin Freeman who could easily replace him because they’re all like Martin Freeman.

i did because i am a glutton for pain

a) no one has ever been given a reason to think that he doesn’t and given THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL THINGS HE SAID OUT OF HIS MOUTH OF HIS OWN FREE WILL AND NEVER CONTRADICTED OR RETRACTED that is reason… to think he does????

b) please look around my tumblr. despite the fact that it is not my job i STILL take time out of my life to educate people all the fucking time okay. just because i don’t have the energy to do it 100% of the time and can’t figure out how to magically do so for AN ACTOR I HAVE NEVER MET doesn’t mean shit. and yeah no i’m pretty okay with not trying to understand why (other than various societal reasons i understand very well) smug privileged assholes who think i’m a coward and shouldn’t live in their neighborhood think the way they do. i’m weird like that.

c) and he is still white and it is still not okay for him to say the word. here jay-z talks about it. maybe if you don’t want to listen to me you’ll listen to him.

d) yes i learned to call people out for being terrible and you learned to… call people out… for calling people out?

e) no it makes me someone who is tired of everything in the universe focusing on the primacy of white heterosexual men because it has nothing to do with my experience or the experiences of the vast majority of people i know and i find it boring. it’s really not complicated.

People get mad over shit and don’t try to understand things and that’s what bothers me. You all want to see the worst in him.

I don’t have to WANT to see the worst in him. YOU’RE ACTING LIKE HE DIDN’T SAY THAT SHIT. HE DID. AND IT’S ALL HE SAID.

THAT’S NOT SEEING THE WORST. THAT IS. READING. WHAT. HE. SAID.

I will keep defending him until he either proves himself to not be a racist or until he calls us all dirty niggers.

Yeah, well you enjoy that.

But again, this is Tumblr.

bechedor79 replied to your post: and before someone descends on my ask because someone ALWAYS does

I loved that about her! SO relatable for me! But with dreamcasting, there just aren’t that many full figured female celebs to choose from, unless you go all Renee-Zellweger-as-Bridget-Jones and make skinny women gain a lot of weight. :(

One of the unfortunate results of our terrible society.

You have to try SO MUCH HARDER to find non-skinny (or non-white or non-etc etc etc) peeps for shit. Because you mostly just don’t know who they are unless you follow shit closely because they don’t get the acclaim and the work unless they’re the specific (usually singular) [Marginalized] Celeb of the Moment.
