So therr are posts going around about being nice to employees and other people going “uhm?? We cant all be neurotypical KAREN??”

Yeah okay fine but does that mean that i, the employee, am allowed to be a dick just because im not neurotypical? No!

And…how about the employee? What if they have anxiety? I would get very anxious and stressed if a costumer were to get mad or act rude towards me. But my mental illness doesnt matter, now does it? Only yours.

Get the fuck over yourself and be nice to employees.

Those pets with tags on their collar that say like “I’m not lost just visiting” or whatever make me so nervous. That’s like…that’s not safe? Letting your animals wander around without supervision, especially when you KNOW they roam far from home is so bad??? They’re gonna die??

Fun fact: Saffron (my cat) has a tag that says “HOLY SHIT I’M LOST” just so that people don’t mistake her for a cat that’s intended to roam.

Ive always found those bizarre. Idk why you would just normalize your pet wandering around. I see so many stories in this province of peoples dogs never coming back or getting shot in a farmers field and its treated like its totally unpreventable(?)

It always pisses me off when people talk about encouraging women to join certain fields, while only talking about the things that would scare them away from that field (example would be a woman wanting to encourage girls to join computer science while constantly saying the tech field is a “boys’ club” and talking about how women aren’t taken seriously in tech). As a woman going into computer science, the only people I see holding me back are the “activists” who are attempting to encourage me.

I think the concept is fundamentally flawed, when it really didn’t have to be, a very simple rewrite.

If instead of being a “reboot but they’re girls now”, and instead was rewritten to be “a spinoff where these ladies open up a Ghostbusters franchise in another city”, they could have Bill Murray have a brief cameo in the beginning where they sign legal papers and a contract, etc, then they open up their own Ghostbusters business in say, Los Angeles, Detroit, or some other big city.

I think making it more of it’s own separate entry without making it an inexplicable remake (of a cult classic smash hit they couldn’t hope to match), they should have done more of their own thing.

I mean, wouldn’t that have been a much more interesting setup than just “lol rule 63″ ?

That would have been a more sensible solution.

The thing that puts me off shipping so badly is that when a pairing is popular, the shippers tend to only focus on the characters in shipping terms. Important moments from canon about one of the characters are turned into ship moments, even if the other character isn’t there. I respect everybody’s right to do as they wish, but not everything is about fictional romance. It just irks me how a characters individual qualities and important moments in canon are always reduced to shipping.

Like, you can admit that we are normal people.

So why can’t we normally be in stories like cis straight people are?

You know full well, why.

B/c
when we are, when those characters are, we get lengthy screeds about
Death of the Author, how those characters Don’t Actually Count, how they
Aren’t Good Enough, or we get a wild accusation that the author
secretly hates lgbt people. All of which are arguments you, in fact,
have made. Mostly about Dumbledore, but that’s beside the point.

You know full well why these characters can’t just normally be, in fiction.

It’s
b/c of people like you who expect every story to be politically charged
statement in favor of diversity and inclusivity. It’s b/c of people
like you who think “this story lacks in lgbt representation” counts as
actual valid criticism. It’s b/c of people like you who get so wrapped
up in the Assumed Straight By Default discussion that you end up
concocting some fantasy about how the only people who like Dumbledore
are homophobes who hate openly gay people. It’s b/c of shit like this.

B/c
when marginalized people write from their own fucked up, problematic
experiences, people like you descend upon them like vultures, picking
their work apart to find and discuss every morally disagreeable thing
under the thin veil of ~criticism~. Then, after the author has long
since fled the creative sphere due to the harassment received, you
bemoan the lack of marginalized creators, and then place the blame
solely at the feed of w/e convenient social structure you desire. B/c
you make this shit worse for us, and then act like you’re doing us a
favor by trying to manipulate everyone into adopting your personal
preference regarding lgbt representation.

We can’t just be in stories, b/c it’s never fucking good enough for you.

And
you will move those goal posts as soon as anybody makes any effort to
meet you halfway, b/c as far as you’re concerned you are right, and they
are wrong. B/c you’re so far up your own ass, that you’ve lost the
ability to empathize with other people. B/c I’m literally saying the
exact same shit I said over a year ago, and you dismissed it then,
you’ll dismiss it now, and by god you’ll dismiss it the next time it
comes up.

We can’t just be, b/c you want us to be more.

And you will permit nothing less.
