hey quick question. why is it 2012 again
I made this to combat my current issue:
“Rebellions are built on hope” -Rogue One
Poor Eddie's too tired to use more than 30% of his brain
ummmmm also when luffy asked if sanji could make zoro his favorite food and sanji laughed and said “i can make anything, just tell me what you want”
sanji’s a prickly asshole (affectionate) to everyone on the baratie, aka his entire adopted family, but for this random scruffy kid who showed up and made a mess he’s his best self. i love it here
This is my formal apology for my last post about these babies <33
Have a Happy Halloween btw
This is what I was talking about.
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
well you can read so (I have a writing blog on here check it out @rwritingblog)
