I hope people who are both non-cis and non-het have long and fulfilling futures ahead of them!

sci fi author: look at these gross aliens from space they're all slimy and gross can you imagine
me: [holding up a piece of paper with a crude drawing of a human] have you ever seen one of these
@monorail you succeeded
@CyclopsCaveman no but seriously that was exactly like if you took one of the gags from swords and made it oglaf instead of, well. about swords
@BigBeanKitten@chitter.xyz what if ur cute but i dont think
@CyclopsCaveman this is oglaf meets swords
it'd be nice if there were a way for me to just. talk to people like me, y'know? or at least get to hear what somebody from a similar culture has to say. but the mechanisms of oppression have been designed to isolate us, and the only way for me to come into contact with people of my culture(s) is if i happen to meet them in person. there is no convenient selection of authors who resemble me, or social networks for refugees, or anything like that. i know no one outside my family who's like me
@fluxom_alt so....next to people like you?
hello yes the number of axes by which various types of power are leveraged to perpetuate the disenfranchisement of marginalised peoples is absolutely staggering and the existence of a Single One of those axes is Absolutely Fucking Inexcusable. if these were systems that just happened to be perpetuating oppression it would be immoral to keep them in place. but these were Deliberately Designed to do this. the fact that they exist At All is unforgivable

old meta drama
still love how when a guy decided it was ok to make fun of an autistic person (who is very clearly disturbed and anxious about being made fun of by strangers), the rest of the fediverse decided that was ok
and then proceeded to get mad at the autistic person for having the gall to be like "hey this isnt ok, please dont make fun of me"

re: old meta drama
anyway, if your response to this kinda situation is "just get over it" or "learn to take a joke".etc
please let me know so i can block you wholesale from efdn
you represent a danger to the mental health of me and every single one of my users
and i dont let people like that be around us
anyway im mad about this partly bc it just makes life difficult (i want to read actually good books) but largely because it's a mechanism by which marginalised groups are prevented from being able to voice their experiences and especially share common experiences with one another? and of course the fact that it plays into minorities not being recognised for their incredible contributions to literature throughout history
@Snorlaxation yes my point exactly. im so gorram frustrate it's impossible to find actual good book recs anywhere
queer authors who aren't Writing About Being Queer sometimes get on these lists, but they pretty much have to be cis. definitely no enbies
so like....who taf are these recommendation lists even For??? they exclude all the authors of any decent quality
