I've Got Something Similar In My House!! There's A Boot Footprint On The Roof Of One Of The Rooms That

rant time again:

i have noticed this awful, discreet little plague within the jshk fandom where some, and i'm sorry (not) for saying it this way but it's true, dumbass fans will see anyone even merely suggest that mitsuba is feminine or genderqueer or would like wearing skirts or just isn't some perfectly masculine boy, and say "no that's not true he hates being seen as feminine," even spreading outright misinformation that he said this in the manga (no he fucking didn't) and it's just.... bitch *what*? that is not fucking true. just because he was bullied for looking feminine doesn't mean he hates looking feminine as a result. the ENTIRE POINT of the mitsuba arc is that those bullies were *wrong* and he should've just been himself instead of sanding down his personality to cater to the people who hate his true self. and mind you, this is the boy that actively wears his medium length bright fucking pink hair in a ponytail & brags about how cute he is 24/7. he actively presents himself as feminine, someone who hates the idea of being percieved as girly wouldn't fucking do that. he *enjoys* his femininity, you dumb fucks.

and while we're here, let me get to the *real* point. why do you automatically assume that a character who is percieved as feminine, and more broadly, a character who is percieved as QUEER, has to hate themselves? why do you assume this despite evidence to the contrary, despite *the story itself* telling you otherwise? why do you assume that? is it because you see someone breaking free from gender norms & heteronormativity as inherently negative and something they *must* hate deep down? is that the reason? tell me, what is your fucking reason? why do you see this beautiful little boy being openly queer and *happy about it, loving who he is* and assume he must hate himself, that him being queer is a flaw he must want to "fix"? why the *fuck* do you think that? it's horrible. do fucking better oh my god i hate you people so much

the no.1 princess in the world 🍰🍮♥︎₊˚⊹｡୨୧˚⋆

there's a guy at my school who uses to harrass me a lot and it used to really damage my mental health, but he stopped and i'm okay now but he's started doing it again and it's actually hilarious

he'll be walking and talking with his friends and he'll see me, stop for a second, look really excited and full of himself and wait for me pass by him and say, in the most i'm-so-proud-of-myself tone you've ever heard:

Hi [DEADNAME]!!!

it's actually so funny because i just ignore him but he looks like a puppy getting told he's a good boy. 10/10 top tier comedy makes me laugh every time
