It’s not like they have nuclear families on the gem homeworld either. Everyone’s female, they don’t reproduce, and fusing seems to be a novel or otherwise repressed expression of affection. They do not play by our rules when it comes to relationships.

I have an issue with every damn friendship having to be romantic, too. That’s larger than Steven Universe, and I am not trying to extend this to every queer ship, because I am a big ol’ slash fangirl who loves putting any two guys on screen together.I absolutely love that Steven Universe has so much queerness going…

Especially given how unbelievably queer Steven Universe generally is, I’m constantly waiting for them to be told to stop. Like I don’t know how far they can push it. In Russia one of the characters is drawn with a mustache to erase the gayness because it’s so explicitly canon.

There seems to be a real problem with people not understanding that these IPs are also beloved by other people, and means something to them, too. Like no, it’s not just for you.

My secret hope is to get like 10 more Star Wars movie, each with a gradually larger female cast than the last, until the entire universe is just women. And then every other movie franchise catches on and for the next 60 years of movies is a gender reversal of the last 60 years of movies until these dudes finally shut…

Look at all the fanboys who wet themselves about Ghostbusters. I liked Ghostbusters, but even if I didn’t, I think it’s amazing they carried on and made a movie at all with all the crap they were getting. You’d think they were filming themselves murdering babies.

Yeah, Elementary really brings out the different sections of crazy.

A friend of mine has the same theory, which I had never considered before, but I think it’s 100% true.

oh WHAT. Da Vinci’s Demons was on my list because of a sexy clip I saw of Julian Bashir wearing eyeliner that I thought was deeply homoerotic, but I’m not going to waste my time if it’s just a cocktease.

On tumblr, very obsessive fans call themselves “stans”, as in the song Stan by Eminem about the obsessive, stalkery fan. They are literally self-identifying as way closer to fanatics than fanciers.

God, that reminds me of the aftermath of that huge tsunami in Japan, when fanboys were upset that it delayed the release of a particular game. Like get some flipping perspective.

It was because the character wasn’t gay with the character they wanted her to be gay with, which is the most asinine thing in the world. But some of these people take their ships VERY seriously, like life or death.

This resonates with me a lot, but I guess I’ve been using the word “flake” incorrectly.

What “would” happen in real life is irrelevant. The props department making the door the wrong size/buoyancy isn’t Rose’s fault.

Well that’s even sadder.

I literally do not remember my first love, but it obviously wasn’t so memorable.

Why couldn’t he find a second piece? How the hell is that her fault?

Maybe for Steven Avery. I don’t think Steven Avery is guilty but I know people think there’s at least some doubt there. Brendan Dassey though? Clearly had nothing to do with it, and I’ve never seen anyone who believed he did.

Totally agree. I think Avery’s trial was a farce, but Brendan shouldn’t have been involved at all, and was only a pawn to make Avery look worse.

Some people literally think police are always innocent angels who have never done anything wrong, ever. So obviously that means anybody who accuses them of doing so is making shit up!
