If we’re going to normalize fidget toys(which I’m all for) then we should also normalize it when disabled people flap their hands, rock back and forth, or other behaviours that are viewed as “weird” but are actually self stimulation. Or at the least could you not stare or mock us. Because for some it’s just a case of fiddling around with a toy, but for us it helps us to function.

once love, simon opens the cinematic doors for lgbt rom coms it’s over for hetero bitches

just found out that people are boycotting this movie because the author is straight…….honestly if y’all let this movie flop i’m coming for everyone’s throats! no mercy! this is such a fake woke agenda! love, simon doesn’t deserve this! if y’all wanted to boycott an lgbt movie call me by your name was right there but y’all let that bitch prosper! 

I actually looked up the author, Becky Albertalli, a while back when I was first getting hyped for Love, Simon, and from what I found (and please let me know if I’m wrong, this info is coming from a few quick google searches) she hasn’t just created multiple, well-written LGBTQ characters, she also worked for years with LGBTQ teens and support groups, particularly for gender nonconforming kids. If that doesn’t tell you how far this woman is willing to go to aid LGBTQ folk, I don’t know what will.

YEP. She addresses this in the very end of Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda in her acknowledgements - she wrote the book with the help of a multitude of LGBTQ teenagers. She wrote what she knew from experience, but for the things she did not have experience with, she sought the wisdom of the people she was writing the book for. She is a genuinely awesome ally. 

I’m going to repeat what I said on twitter

Why is it that a fluffy high school AU is just fine when it’s for a popular m/m ship on A03 and literally hundreds of fics exist for this trope

But when we get a chance for original mainstream gay content, the acceptable standards suddenly increase by 150%? 👀

Me, deleting a scene from my fic: Ugh, that was self-indulgent twaddle

Me, adding the scene back in: Oh, wait, that’s the entire point of my writing fan fiction

Fight the good fight.
