Alright so last #antibs of the day:
I'm sick of the intellectual dishonesty happening right now. People are elevating and politicizing but NOT SAYING WHAT THEY MEAN.
Do you actually care that there was a Fem Gaze event ft Reylos? Or are you upset you feel excluded?
Why is it about more than the ship? Are you actually comfortable erasing the marginalized identities of LGBTQ and WOC Reylos? Or are you just unhappy that you can't dismiss the fandom for being a monolith of Karens and write it off as such?
Are you unhappy that women like and create for something you find distasteful and have to challenge your own internalized misogyny?
Or is it easier to avoid your cognitive dissonance by throwing generalized insults at half of a fandom and calling it activism?
Please, just be fucking honest here. Say you don't like Reylo and don't want to engage with us and BLOCK US ALL. Stop nitpicking words to score tiny social clout points and just block us if we're so upsetting to you, but admit you're okay tearing down women you disagree with
If you want to turn that back on us, fine. But I'm a TLJ Reylo and I've seen that we threw the first stone by existing, and everything we do is critiqued and torn down if not by right-wing dudes, then by the left who has dubbed us too white, too straight, etc, and we fight back
We fight back and people don't like that we have voices, we use them, and we go hard for each other. I think some of us live for the mess of it and go just as hard as it's thrown.
But just like...block and move on. We know you don't want us to be mainstream voices. Just say it.
Say: we don't like Reylo and we don't like Reylo voices being mainstream.
Stop conflating your biases with activism. Stomping on shit women love isn't lifting any women except yourself. Just own it.
I'm white. Shit on me all you want but stop erasing the WOC in this corner of fandom because they dare to have voices and stand up for themselves against you.
