What she really means: I don’t mind people disliking a ship for their own reason but the anti-shipping movement is driven by hate and bandwagon bullying to police what people are “allowed” to enjoy. They use fundamentally abusive and manipulative tactics on real people in the name of protecting survivors from speculative things in fiction. Antis want to act morally superior over ship wars and claim that to ship something problematic you must be a survivor. By doing this antis force survivors who may be uncomfortable with coming out with their status to out themselves and then hold them to impossible standards. Except when it does come to survivors who ship anti-deemed problematic things we are attacked, harassed, and then pushed under the bus anyway. Antis trivialize terms such as abuse, rape, and pedophilia by using them so often and out of place against a group made up of many survivors and minors– the people they claim to be protecting. They have bullied and suicide baited artists and other content creators they dislike in the name of “policing the bad ships uwu.” All antis are at fault for this, even if an anti claims not to send hate themselves they are still influencing this bad behavior because they are part of this hate group. The entire anti-shipper movement is a toxic cesspool that makes me feel sick.
I always liked Roger from 101 Dalmatians because I admire a person who, when faced with someone they dislike that’s invading their space, just aggressively plays jazz instruments at them until they leave.
And then writes a song about how much they suck.
There’s also a lot to be appreciated from a man who, when faced with the sudden acquisition of 84 more dogs than intended, instead of doing sensible things like finding homes for them, decides to just buy a house and have a hundred and one dogs.
Roger: 101 dogs? This is the OPPOSITE of a problem!
omg the other day I made a joke about how I had another dog because of the hair Larkin shed and my friend goes “of course you got another dog” so honestly, mood
Whenever Hagrid finally decides to retire as Care of Magical Creatures professor you can bet your last knut that Charlie Weasley flies back to England the following week excitedly waving his resume and recommendation letters from no less than two Scamanders and the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger.
I’m pretty sure he would also have recommendation letters from Rubeus Hagrid, the retiring professor, Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived and a very confusing one from Puddlemere United player, Oliver Wood, saying that he was one of the best Seekers he had ever seen.
Not to mention the fact that he flies back to England not on a broomstick or any other normal form of transportation, but landing on the Hogwarts grounds on the back of the largest dragon anyone has ever seen.
Reblogging again for that last addition.
Charlie: *glides in on a dragon* HELLO HIRE ME
Everyone: What the fuck
Ron: (in the background, mortified) this is normal
This Pride Month, I decided to come out to my dad as genderfluid.
This was an interesting process for a couple of reasons: for one thing, my dad doesn’t really know what genderfluid is… and for another thing, he’s in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease. So his ability to wrap his mind around this new concept – the concept that gender fluidity exists, and that his adult child identifies with it – was questionable at best.
Through recorded interviews with my family (including a final interview in which I come out to my dad), I put together a three-episode podcast about the experience, and I released it in honor of Father’s Day and Pride Month.
The podcast is called Paper Brain, and it explores my relationship with my dad, how Alzheimer’s disease has affected him and our family, and what it’s like to come out to someone important to you when they might not understand.
I hope you’ll give it a listen. The third of three episodes comes out later this week!
