please watch my favorite game changer clip ever
3 different flavors of answer, all of them delicious.
Soundwave is my favorite Con. His response to being interrogate by Optimus is to make an on the spot dubstep remix of everything he says and then just grin about it.
Anonymous asked:
If you are going to have literally no criteria for being queer, then how can you say that anyone isn't? How can you refer to any person in any context as cis/straight?
If someone tells me they’re queer I believe them. If someone tells me they’re straight I believe them. This isn’t that hard
What so like a cis het allo person can just call themselves queer now?
What problem, exactly, are you so concerned about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but queerness is still very much marginalized, it’s not as “trendy” as people try to act, and straight people aren’t tripping over themselves to call themselves queer. And if you’re worried about being “tricked” by “infiltrators”, like, you know those people can just say that they’re gay? Like they can lie? They’re not going to try and “sabotage” queer spaces by saying “hey I don’t have any marginalized orientations or identities but I’m still totally queer”, they’d just say “hey I’m super gay, love people of the same gender”
What, concretely, are you worried about happening? What’s the worst thing that could happen due to inclusivity? Because the worst things that can happen due to gatekeeping are very well-known, and I’m much more scared of that
It’s less that it’s trendy and more like, I like having my queer-only spaces. Also queer is a bad word. All our words are bad words. They aren’t oppressed, and for a cishetallo to use a slur as their identity feels a little demeaning to me. Like I dont hate them of course but the A was never for Ally . It’s not queer to be normal
Interacting with them is cool and having them at pride I’m not opposed to but as a person who’s queer it does feel like they’re kinda dressing it up
Im gonna be honest Ive never seen people like that but like, I’m allowed to not like it
I’m not going to distrust and exclude people because of a problem you made up. If someone tells me they’re queer, I believe them
“When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time” is a really popular thing to say on Tumblr when we’re talking about people being assholes or whatever, but people never seem to follow that through to the logical conclusion of actually believing people when they really tell you who they are.
What queer only spaces are hets lying about to get into? Like it is either straight girls being openly straight at gay bars or conservatives dressing up as woman to say “ooooh, if I SAY I’m trans then you have to do whatever I say, right? Call me Princess Lovely Tits! I’m very smart at owning libs!”
Like, I’ve NEVER gone to a queer nerdy event and seen anyone “obviously cis” trying to get in. Why would they?
Also, to the original Anon-
“if you have no criteria for being queer, how can you say anyone isnt?” That’s it! You got it! That’s the fucking point!
If the mythical leagues of cishet allo people out there pretending to be queer did actually exist… good. That’s more boots on the ground at a protest, more votes at the ballot, more public pressure for acceptance and more eyes keeping everyone safe. I wish being queer was trendy and cool and easy and something everyone wanted to be, I wish tons and tons of outsiders were putting on the flags and locking arms with us, that world would be so much fucking easier to live in. Exclusionists out here imagining a vastly better world and going “noooo what if that was real? We’d better put up bullshit barriers and scrutinise everyone and push people out if they don’t bare their soul convince me personally that they can match up to my ever-changing bullshit rules! Otherwise that might happen!”
if someone is so lonely and sad that they’re lying their way into queer spaces to gain access to a community, and instead of just being nice to this one unusual guy, your response is to ramp up being a colossal jerk to everyone else in the community…
why would we kick out the poor liar who just needs some kindness, instead of the unrepentant asshole who refuses to believe in kindness at all?
Not to add on more, but this is important. “They aren’t oppressed” isn’t a good reason at all to gatekeep. Identities and spaces should not be built on oppression alone. That’s how you get TERFs denying trans women because somehow oppression from men has become a cornerstone of womanhood for them and they don’t see validity in anyone who hasn’t had that same experience.
Because eventually, if we get to the world we want, that oppression will go away. And when it does, you want to have built ties and a foundation that goes deeper than shared trauma. Aside from that - not every queer person has experienced the same difficult situations, and having a loving and supporting family doesn’t make someone less valid in the space. This is just really bad logic to follow, and it feels worth noting that. And yet it’s super common and tends to show up in conversations around ace and bi identities especially - members with “passing privilege” excluded regularly because of it.
I. Love this.
Love it.
Oh my god
yes.
This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website
I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.
FUCK aliens ! we got these crazy shits under da sea and we’re not payin any attention!!!
“the colony can regenerate injured parts or continue growing after being broken apart. Unless all individual clones are killed at the same time, a colony can theoretically live forever”
This thing is fucking mythical
