(kind of a long-ish rant)
been feeling super, super fucking disappointed with some famous white queer women lately
Ellen
Lady Gaga
it’s so representative of how many white queer folks get away with not standing up for black and brown folks and QTPOC. QTPOC have been saying this FOREVER, but don’t forget who the community owes the whole damn movement to! trans and queer WOC! who is on the front lines 9 times out of 10? who typically is there standing up for justice on all issues? who is organizing for transformative change all around? and yet we, as white queer folks, think it’s acceptable to whitewash the queer community & make it feel unwelcoming for folks who should be at the front of EVERY DISCUSSION. it’s not just unacceptable, it’s really disgusting.
queerness does not erase your whiteness
queerness does not exempt you from white supremacy or white feminism
white queer folks can be JUST AS SHITTY as white straight folks (sometimes more shitty, hello what?) why do so many white queer people get all high and mighty as if we don’t need to do the work that the rest of white people need to do to unlearn and destroy these systems (that white people created)????? being queer does not give you a free pass to act like you’re not still privileged as hell bc you’re white?????
YOU SHOULD NOT BE INSERTING YOURSELF INTO CONVERSATION ABOUT ISSUES WHICH MOSTLY IMPACT QTPOC. NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE CAN SPEAK FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU ARE PROBABLY THE MOST PRIVILEGED QUEER WOMAN IN THE US. (ellen)
WHY ARE YOU NOT STANDING UP FOR BLACK GIRLS. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ADDRESSED THE SONG YOU DID WITH R KELLY. WHY ARE YOU REFUSING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST R KELLY. WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO THIS? (lady gaga)
fuck y’all, you are no queer icons to me if this is b.s. that you’re pulling. we (queer & straight white people) need to do 100000% better and then some.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SANDRA OH, WINNER OF 2019 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS BEST ACTRESS IN TV DRAMA she is now the first asian woman to win golden globes in multiple categories
Marvel Studios just released three new Captain Marvel posters and…
Specifically in this one, people are saying “can she change her facial expression” “can she smile”… well… i’m here to make a fucking point, cause this is getting ridiculous.
Let’s start.
With Iron Man
Do you guys see RDJ smiling? No.
But even better.. do you see Gwyneth Paltrow smiling… NO!. Did anybody say something? NO!
But yeah, people will say, she is a side character, not that importan… BITCH PLEASE. But let’s continue with:
Thor Ragnarok
Is Thor smiling? NO… not even Cate Blanchett is smiling… not even Tessa Thompson for Christ Sakes… and no one complained.
I’m not done:
Infinity War
Do I even need to say it?
NO ONE IS SMILING IN THIS POSTER.. I DON’T SEE ANY SIGNS OF TEETH… well… maybe Thanos.. but the HEROES are not smiling
SO? Why is Brie any different? She doesn’t need to smile, or change her facial expressions. Stop criticizing an actress for a POSTER or a simple trailer… she may be emotionless in the trailers, sure… but it surely has a reason. Let’s just watch a movie and experience the bad ass that Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel will be.
Marvel never showing off Rhodey’s rocket science skill, taking away Sam’s superhuman powers, white washing Wanda and Pietro, making homecoming about peter instead of miles replacing Ganke with Ned, luring black people into watching Infinity war for T'Challa and Wakandans then killing most of them on screen, making Monica Rambeau a literal child when Carol becomes Captain Marvel is the kind of racism in media you could play as unintentional when you look at them seperately but really becomes a disguisting pile of shit when you piece all the instances together.
And giving BP an award won’t make me forget any of this.
Like y'all literally killed him a moment later and the Russos even admited that T'Challa was plan B in case they wouldn’t get spiderman but then got to entangled in the story to write him out again.
