relax-o-vision: When we, members of an oppressed minority, criticize words, we cricize usage of language and how it harms us. Don’t come at me with explanations about intentions. Don’t get defensive over what you meant. It doesn’t matter. Did I say we criticize the insides of your brain? No! Chances are pretty fucking high that I have a brain myself, and that I’m capable of seperating...

Jay Gatsby was black: an explanation

stevebuscreaming: So let me explain this theory for those of you who haven’t heard it before already. The Great Gatsby is a story of a man that makes his fortune bootlegging and throws countless magnificent parties all in hopes of attracting the attention of his old flame Daisy. But it’s really a story about insurmountable class barriers. Daisy will never be with Gatsby, no matter how much she...

On storytellers and their (apparently) invisible...

I often think about that Goethe quote “We can only see what we know”. It´s certainly true in fields like medicine and pathology (which is where I first encountered it), but I found it really resonated with me once I applied it to representation in popular culture. I remember growing up, and that sense of fear due to never knowing if there really was a ground beneath me. It´s funny. I...

"All opinions have equal worth" is a harmful tool...

Privilege is like the first rule of Fight Club, right? If you don´t talk about it, then it´s like it doesn´t even exist. Growing up I looked around me and popular culture never talked about anything I knew to be me. It was like I didn´t exist. Get it? This is not about displeasure; this is about erasure. Many people would look at me and they would see nothing but themselves, because they didn´t...

Is Castiel in love with Dean?

relax-o-vision: freckledbuttchester: Misha: Either no or yes. Interesting topic because it upsets a lot of people in different ways. I probably shouldn’t talk about it. There is a profound bond and I will leave it up to you to read into it. lordwhat: #getting sick of this crap tbh Not cool, Misha. Upsetting homophobes is just as bad as upsetting LGBTQ* people who want representation? ...
