do you understand now, what I mean about why "perfectly acceptable unproblematic queerness" can only lead to direct control by capital? https://twitter.com/funnyanimalbook/status/1391109024892944384">https://twitter.com/funnyanim...
Perverts hold the line. We are your canary in the coalmine against exploitation by the ruling class. The minute they have no social cost to pay for associating with you is the minute they start to sell yourself back to you, hollowing you out to a mere consumerist & #39;fandom& #39;
if your queerness has no space in it for _icky weird things_ then that& #39;s true for brands concerned about their image, and next thing you know, big conglomerates are selling queerness back to you like how disney can make pride pins but won& #39;t pay their workers a living wage.
Raves used to be dangerous illicit parties, and now the fucking CEO of goldmann sachs bought himself a stage to spin on at ultra. if you have nothing to lose from associating, you don& #39;t respect that culture, you exploit and control it.
The more you insist on demanding an unproblematic queerness instead of controlling your own online experience, the more power you funnel into the hands of billionaires, just like white people demanding to militarize the police to ward off the threats of spooky minority criminals
Jenny Durkin, seattle& #39;s wonderful first in class blow for equality and justice lesbian mayor, gassed the fucking gayborhood last summer during the BLM protests. The price of assimilation is the expectation to enact violence on behalf of the elites.
i will take a -thousand- queer adults coping with the lack of a stable loving emotional family structure they could be honest with by developing a & #39;problematic& #39; online roleplay fetish with other queer adults over a single "i& #39;m normal" collaborator.
if you have sat here and cared more about the feelings of pixels instead of a real queer person who receives a moment of solace from art you don& #39;t like, you need to fix your heart. These billionaires don& #39;t love you, they want your unthinking fiscal dependency. They& #39;re crack-pimps
they want you to do the work of filing off every edge and tooth and texture in queer spaces so they can fill in the empty space with marketing bullshit they control. Just like they did after the AIDS crisis. They want to control queer spaces and queer culture so they can monetize
Gender, Sexuality and Race are not one to one mappings, but how power treats respectability practitioners pulls from the same playbook. Listen to Jay-Z& #39;s "The Ballad of OJ"
The only thing you can aspire to be as an unproblematic assimilationist is "one of the good ones"
The only thing you can aspire to be as an unproblematic assimilationist is "one of the good ones"
And "one of the good ones" is a -conditional- state of existence. It can and will be revoked at the convenience of power. It is not safety. it is not belonging, you will never -not- be able to be called a Dy*e, F*ggot, Tr*nny the minute power decides it& #39;s done with you.
the more you say "my personal comfort matters more than the possibility space of queer individuals coming up with ideas that help them cope outside the scope of decency and mores cooked up by the same patriarchy that I profess to loathe." the less ground we have to hold.
I don& #39;t like drone stuff, but you know what? People cope in different ways, I need weird queers like that to have my back. don& #39;t care that some reading of doctrine will deem it & #39;problematic& #39; it& #39;s better to have well rested comrades with a home -to fight for-
the more we push not against bad actors with material actions, but against the very notion that queerness can be -more- than cis-emulatory lesbian holds hand with other cis emulatory lesbian, is -vital- and it cannot be fucking allowed to be owned by marketers and capital.
(lesbians are used in this example not because they are to blame in any way, but because fascism and captial are both a fan of marketing a very narrow subset of girl on girl action without actually doing anything to improve the lives of women.)
This situation we& #39;re in right now, is -dangerous- to queerness as a whole! this shit is the closest we& #39;ve come back to anti-sodomy laws and it& #39;s reach is -global-.
we don& #39;t have -the luxury- of being able to give into the narcissism of respectability. it& #39;s what& #39;s got us here.
