“sex positivity” was a mistake. it’s not being utilized in a way that lets people (especially young girls, people of color and lgbt people) have proper access to information about sex and STDs, consent, or rape culture but instead it just promotes a “fuck whoever you want whenever you want and never think about the consequences!” mindset. it leads to a lot of minors making god awful decisions and then regretting them later with nothing they can do about it. it leads to “being open about your kinks is progressive!!!!” which in turn ends up with men pressuring women into violent sex and saying that if she was a #Real sex positive feminist, then she’d have sex with him how he wants her to.
sex positivity should’ve been used to promote education of safe sex, to lessen stigma around sex (especially between sga and trans individuals), to give sex workers a voice, to spread proper information about STDs and prevention and treatment, and to teach about rape culture and consent. but as with most movements like this all it ended up being was a red lipstick and black heels “fuck the patriarchy” type thing while doing literally nothing progressive! and of course i’m not saying there’s nobody who does this, but with the way the sex positivity movement has gone, i doubt these people have the energy to try and have a loud enough voice in a community spewing the opposite of the message that should be gotten across.

while i get and agree with the fact that gay people should probably play gay people and gay stories are best written by gay people, the fervor to prove that “straight people shouldn’t play gay characters!!” is what the interviewer used to forcibly out lee pace so like
idk maybe slow your roll and realize that like… actors can be closeted, content creators can be closeted, and tbh this “you can only write your own experiences, never write someone else’s” rhetoric is also a bigot’s fucking wet dream?? like the perfect excuse to never write diverse characters?? and to say that they have nothing in common with people who don’t look/love/exist the same way as them??
yeah, the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda is a cis straight woman, which means love, simon (though directed by a married gay man with multiple gay characters played by gay/bi actors) is based on a novel written by a straight woman… but this straight woman literally ends her book acknowledging the LGBT teens who helped her write the book and make sure she was writing it appropriately.
this is the content we want
listen… EVERY SINGLE piece of media EVER involves some level of writing about experiences that are not your own, especially if it’s diverse. even bland stories just about white people involves an author writing about genders that are not their own. if you want a story with characters of color, white authors are going to have to write about those perspectives. if you want gay characters in every story, straight authors are gonna have to write about those perspectives. even LGBT narratives might involve gay authors writing about bi characters or cis authors writing about trans characters.
what we HOPE FOR when they do that is that they talk to people… actually belonging to those groups to learn what is and isn’t appropriate and true to life. which is what the author of simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda did.
it’s exactly what she did. she literally worked in a support group for LGBT and GNC kids, saw they did not have cute love stories written for them after they told her this, and then worked with them to give them the love story they craved.
this is a good thing. this is progress for lgbt people. this is the path we need to walk towards getting LGBT content created by LGBT authors.
when you attempt to take the ~moral ground on protesting this film, all you’re doing is telling people who fund these projects that gay products don’t sell. they don’t get the nuance of what you’re going for. and, chances are, you’re looking like a fucking hypocrite, because i can promise you most of the canon gay characters you stan profit a cishet somehow (if they’re even canon).
so, y’unno, as someone who has read simon vs the homo sapien’s agenda AND seen the fucking movie let me tell you!! it’s fine!! it’s diverse beyond having gay character, it’s written respectively, and it hit home on a lot of experiences i WISH i had as a gay teen. it’s corny, it’s silly, and it’s all i ever would have wanted at 13, 14, 15
if you don’t want to see it, just fucking say so! but don’t act like you’re doing it on moral grounds. you can just… not like a movie or not want to see it without it being some moral victory.
White people are already asking staff how to unlink themselves from these “Russian spy ties” that they thought were just Black bloggers that they could use to bolster their performative woke strategy and like…..
everyone is so quick to really believe that a bunch of blogs that spoke on Black political issues are now being outed as Russians posing as Black youth and nobody thought it was odd? It doesn’t seem like a delegitimization thing to you? You know.. like when white people would try to conflate Black youth back in the day with “commies” to make sure they’re alienated?
We are being notified that the staff took direct action against this with vigor but there’s literally pedophiles and nazis running wild..
These are the same people who censored tags during Ferguson but y’all really believe these people when they tell you about this Russian fuckery now.
And you have buzzfeed, yahoo (obviously), and all dem spitting out articles with quickness to back it as well and the whole thing looks fishy.
Yes we make memes and laugh and that’s cool, but I hope you don’t really think this shit is tumblr taking a stand to clean up the internet’s streets.
All I’m saying is it looks really fishy.

@aymaabdullahmalik in general, i tend to dislike hinata’s character type (meek, fairly helpless, overall tends to rely on pity to glide through life) but that wasn’t necessarily enough of a reason for me to completely despise her. in the end, the thing that really did it for me was how the fans treated her. despite not being a very prominent character back when i was reading it, every time i went on a forum all the comments would be like “when is hinata coming back” and “hinata is so cute wwwaaa i love hinata” which just became super grating after a while. i didn’t think she deserved all of the attention, and that made me really despise her.
Thanks for your opinion 😆
It’s nice to hear an outsiders opinion without it being clouded with their own biasness!!Yeah I get what your going with. I don’t really hate Hinata but the way her fans love to wank her WHILE simultaneously dragging Sakura down? Got me a little pissed.
Everywhere I went to search about people opinion on Naruto all I read was:
“ Hinata is so pretty!! Unlike that flat-chested big foreheaded pink bitch!!”
“ Hinata is so kind!! Unlike that useless pink trash who does nothing but cry!!”
“ Hinata is so fucking powerful!! Unlike sakura who can’t even compare!!”
And let’s not forget the best one!!
“ Hinata is the heroine unlike Sakura”Honestly these Comments made me really hate hina-wankers( I mean not all of them are like that but still) all their arguments show that they never read the story at ALL!!
Like sakura isn’t flat-chested, she is one of the females that has been called beautiful countless times, Sakura is also one of the kindest Characters and like improved so much!! She became the most powerful konuichi in the world!! And kishi called her the heroine all the time!!
Their is absolutely nothing wrong with liking a character but one shouldn’t go dissing another to make your fav shine!!
I don’t hate Hinata I really don’t! But her fanbase is just too much
( Sorry for ranting here 😌😌)
This is really pertinent to the issues of fandom. Adulating a favourite character doesn’t need to be done at the expense of another character, especially when it involves absurd grounds of debasement like one’s physical attributes.
I confess I’m no Hinata lover. But casting aside my subjective appraisal as well as the vitriol spouted by Hinata zealots, a number of criticisms can be made with considerable objectivity.
First of all, Hinata is a a clear embodiment of a female character modelled as an object of chauvinistic male fantasy. Generous amounts of cleavage and a docile demeanour: commodifying a female couldn’t be any more blatant. The most vociferous fans of Hinata aren’t fans in a honourable sense – they fetishize her.
Secondly, the argument that Hinata’s lack of self confidence should elicit sympathetic response, not callous contempt, is rather flimsy since Hinata’s demure nature isn’t an individualising stamp that seeks to delineate her personality by itself by centring focus exclusively on her and her only. It is an attribute that defines her with reference to Naruto. It seeks to use her as props to accentuate a particular characteristic of Naruto. If you carefully consider the two most important scenes featuring Hinata, one in the chunin prelims and the other during Pain’s invasion, you’ll find a similar pattern. In both the instances, her function is to provide impetus for drastic character development of Naruto. Note that it doesn’t effect any enduring change in her personality (she’s hardly ever there for that to happen). She remains a static, one dimensional character.
This is, in fact, a classic rendition of casting a female as an other, a shadowy extension of the male ego. In other words, her essence (or lack thereof) is predicated upon Naruto’s presence. Eliminate Naruto from the scene and she becomes virtually irrelevant to the context. Now the plot unquestionably revolves around Naruto, but other MCs have well defined boundaries of the self that identifies them as discrete individuals owning distinctive personalities apart from their being inextricably entwined with the life of Naruto.
Lastly, the most recent factor responsible for a marked dislike of Hinata is the forceful superimposition of her character upon the post-war part of the story to magnify her importance in ways that haven’t been previously anticipated in the plot. In the most obvious cases, her character development actually invalidates (with amazing levels of absurdity, if I may add) what had been indisputable tenets of the story. Like disavowing Naruto’s feelings for Sakura. Hinata practically usurps the storyline, sidelining the real MCs and undermining their significance with wantonly contrived revisions.
I didn’t originally dislike her character. She had hardly merited concentrated focus before. Sure, she pandered to patriarchal tastes. But that was easily ignored with her thoroughly being a side character. But the shenanigans of the creators post-698 have assured my loathing for her.
wlw don’t consume gay content in the same way that straight girls do and I’m tired of people acting like we do, it’s literally just that lesbian and bi women representation is so much rarer than representation of gay men and we’re so fucking desperate to see ourselves and y’all have the audacity to accuse us of fetishizing you because we find comfort in mlm content because it’s just about the only gay content out there and p.s @ mlm please consume and support the rare wlw content that does exist because I’m tired of seeing us have to find ourselves in mlm content meanwhile y’all can’t be bothered to even try to relate to a woman

i’ve said this already but wlw/mlm solidarity or w/e is fucking pointless if boys will continue to ignore misogyny and steal terms from wlw instead of coming up with their own
if you want to actually uphold solidarity try any of these:
- shutting down lesbophobia/biphobia (specifically directed at bi girls) and misogyny (the two are pretty much always linked)
- not supporting other guys who do the whole “i hate women/women are gross/etc.” act
- not taking wlw terms and just repainting them as you see fit
- putting forth an effort to show your support for lesbians and bi girls by giving them a platform and supporting them speaking out on subjects that impact them
- recognize that you are just as capable of being misogynistic as much as any other guy is
