alloutorg: URGENT: today in Russia, a terrible bill passed in the Russian parliament’s lower house that censors all things considered “gay”. It’s our local partners’ worst nightmare and we need your help.  This vote comes off the back of two brutal anti-gay murders in Russia, and the trial of a major LGBT rights organisation today. Tell world leaders to STOP the crackdown, add your name:www.allout.org/russia-attacks

  • almost every popular tv show nowadays: white guy meets another white guy. they develop a strong bond and a complex relationship. fandom praises the writers for their contribution to queer representation even though the characters are textually straight and their misleading sexual subtext is played as an edgy thrill. the critics acclaim the show for the fresh portrayal of bromance between the leads even though male relationships have been the engines of western narratives since the ancient times. female secondary characters are disposed to advance dude brotimes and manpain. virtually no one points anything wrong about this.

Anonymous asked: "Would you be up for a tea party where we sing Lion King songs and harmonize Bohemian Rhapsody?"

That sounds fantastic. We need to do that right now.

fandomsandfeminism:  Ugh. Yes.  I find the Snape/Lily narrative to be really horrific, honestly. The fact that we are asked to feel oh so bad for poor little Snape makes me a little bit queasy.  Because, yes, I do sympathize with Snape for having a rough childhood.  But he was a horrible friend to Lily. He ignored her feelings. He screamed racial slurs at her. He favored the idealized version of her he had built up in his mind over the REAL her (I think it is significant that James’ patronus is a STAG, showing compatibility with Lily; while Snape is a DOE, showing a mimicry of Lily). That idealization and inability to reconcile how his own actions contributed to the failure of their friendship literally KILLED Lily. I understand that we can show some sympathy for him. Watching someone self destruct their own relationships because of abuse and peer pressure and the tribulations of childhood? That’s tragic.  But then he grows up to emotionally abuse Lily’s son for having a physical resemblance to her husband.  And we’re supposed to feel sorry for him? We’re supposed to think it’s lovely and sweet that Harry names his child after the teacher who emotionally abused him for years? Who emotionally abused OTHER children for years as well?  The fans who sit around and cry about how Lily SHOULD have picked Snape, how Snape DESERVED her? How James was a horrible douche and Lily was a bitch for choosing him? Ugh. No. nno no no no on oonononononononoooooo.
