I think so much of the outlook over fandom would change if many people treated it like it is: a goddamn hobby.
A fandom group is no better nor more revolutionary than a knitting club. It can replicate any real world biases and discriminations and it can also be used to raise money/group people towards causes. It can foster connections that will turn to actual real political action or it can just be a gathering of people who don't know much about each other outside of it.
It can be lovely to experience when you're surrounded by a lovely group and it can be hell when the group is full of cattiness and pettiness . It can be inclusive or it can be exclusive when you're surrounded by bigotry.
Because it's a group of people - it's going to have problems. And when there's a conflict or people are pointing shit out, it needs to be solved so its members aren't spit out in the sake of "avoiding drama". Because it's a group of people, it's not automatically changing the world in a blaze of self grandeur. Because it's a group of people with a common hobby, it can impact its members lives for the better and give them a space to express themselves.
Fandom is a goddamn knitting club. It's not this inherent great, subversive force of good nor this den of evil that's traumatisizing the children. Chill out.
Wilson took over Rubius' setup today and refused to let him move the camera, going so far as to grab his arm with his tiny little paws MULTIPLE times so Rubius would keep petting him 🥹💕
Wilson is my favorite streamer.
there’s no shame in needing to pause a physical activity to go get a glass of water. yes, this includes fucking
actually. happy disability pride month to any of my fellow disabled people who fuck different. who need to take sex slowly. who need to use an inhaler during sex. who need a wrist massage before or after sex. you’re epic, and you deserve to have your body rocked this disability pride month

I fully understand that most sex-related studies are for obvious reasons probably not using a double blind protocol, but I have to confess that every time I see a journal headline about, say, the health benefits of oral sex or whatnot, the first question that pops into my mind is "how do you administer a placebo blowjob?"
