straight ppl dont get to call us pillow biters and rug munchers and ass bandits and sodomites and faggot and d*** and every other disgusting name you can think of for a lesbian or gay person—for literal decades—and then try to call themselves tops and bottoms just cuz they like pegging like. im not doing it. im not allowing it
We should be more pro-active or we’ll see more of such sad fates of honest people.
And the utterly ironic thing is I’ve seen repeated tumblr posts of that iconic photo absolutely slagging the shit out of Peter Norman as “lol white guy so uncomfortable” “Why the fuck isn’t he supporting them”, etc etc.
As an Australian this post surprised me. I knew none of the above.
All those/ that specific “Spiderverse is a metaphor for being LGBT” post(s) just prove that white people just refuse to relate to black people unless they can make their personality “uwu I’m gay and like memes”. One thing that gets me is how in that one post it equates the spider people talking about their loss with how being lgbt can lead to losing people who don’t except you when ??????? Miles dad and uncle were amongst his biggest supporters and it was the words his dad spoke to him that pulled him out of his rut. If you wanna make wearing the mask a metaphor about identity than realize it has less to do with being gay or closeted but it’s about finding your place in the world, taking risk, being comfortable.
But what am I going to expect from people who erased Jefferson’s existence as Miles’ actual dad and decided Peter B was the necessary father-figure who saved the day

There, to her shock, Yeine is named an heiress to the king.

As she fights for her life, she draws ever closer to the secrets of her mother’s death and her family’s bloody history.
With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Yeine will learn how perilous it can be when love and hate - and gods and mortals - are bound inseparably together.”
