It's Really Joever :/

i love playing the "is it steddie or wolfstar" and "is it jegulus or jayvik" game

im not telling people what TO ship but the way fandoms represent ships are so interesting. cuz every time they HAVE to make one person the sweet, meek, shy, feminine one and the other the big, strong, aggressive, masculine one- gay ships, lesbian ships, straight ships, whatever, it has to have the strong masc x weak femme dynamic. AND it doesnt even necessarily correlate with the genders or the canon characters dynamic, bc every time without fail when theres a ship between a dark skinned feminine woman and a white masculine man they make the dark skinned woman the big strong masc one and the white guy the sweet cute feminine one. Whereas if its a ship between two white people, they pick whichever one is slightly more feminine to make the weak shy helpless feminine one, UNLESS one of them is disabled in which case the disabled one automatically becomes the weak feminine one. like im not out here saying "you cant ship a masc and femme character together" thats not what im saying its just so interesting what fandoms as a whole ship, how they can reinforce existing stereotypes in society, and how people often see their shipping as a form of activism when its actually just recreating stereotypical dynamics

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

Big fan of whenever he makes a face

I got jumpscared when u liked one of my posts bc I have the EXACT same profile picture as you on Discord XD you have good taste
