Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
Rant:
Toxic COD fans who’ve been “playing the games since they were a kid” have some kind of superiority complex over the other fans in the fandom and it’s weird. I mean, not everyone has money to buy the games or even console, everyone’s situation is different whether that be financially or not.
Don’t immediately resort to toxic and hateful behavior because you have absolutely no idea what other people are going through. Finding comfort in fictional characters has been a thing since forever, and every single fandom has a group of fans who’re a bit odd but who the fuck cares? If they’re not hurting anybody why the hell does it bother you so much?
Of course you’re entitled to be protective over a franchise that you’ve enjoyed growing up but excluding or being shady to others because they didn’t have that opportunity? That’s fucking weird and not only immature but utter nonsense. Encouraging more fans to join a fandom is something we should be doing instead of putting them down for not having the same experiences as those who grew up playing the games.
You may have more knowledge and understanding of characters but that doesn’t inherently make you better than anybody else. It’s getting to the point where I can’t tell y’all apart from the toxic gamer bros. Leave baby COD fans alone you weirdos.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Broke: having König instead of Gaz in the 141
Woke: König and Gaz are both there and become besties
It be like that sometimes, I’ve definitely been in a similar situation LOL (as an Achillean person)
FURRY ART CAN HAVE WOMEN?
Currently got a Gaz bit cooking in the drafts, both AU!Gaz and a different AU!Gaz. That is all imma say. See ya until I finish and upload it. (Price might end up being next 👀 - won’t spoil though on if he is or isn’t next though.)
Customer: I LOVE THE CUTE BARKS AND CHIRP SOUNDS ANIMALS MAKE. DMV: YIFFY=SEXY OR HORNY (IN FURRY FANDOM) Verdict: DENIED
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
