what a lot of these contemporary queer theorists have done is they’ve collapsed critiques of homonationalism into their critiques of what they term “homonormativity” which is their fancy way of saying that cis gay and lesbian people are Evil and Catered To or some shit. but understanding homonationalism and pinkwashing, which are very much different from “homoassimilation”, is incredibly important, especially because lgbt people of color are impacted by homonationalism.
lgbt inclusion in the military; corporations at pride; “pro-gay” corporate ads; drone operators and soldiers and CEO’s who are lgbt; white nationalists such as milo yiannopolous; patriotic pictures of white lgbt people with the american flag overlaid on their faces; wanting cops to be included in pride parades – this is all what homonationalism is. prioritizing capitalist notions of success over liberation is what this is. israel touting itself as “pro-lgbt!1!!” while blackmailing gay palestinians is what this is.
gay people wanting to get married is not a bad thing and it’s not “assimilationist” of lgbt people to want to lead happy, healthy, safe lives with their loved ones, lol. however, gay and trans people being pro-cop and pro-military and pro-capital and white lgbt people aligning themselves with white nationalist ideology is very bad and you really cannot use your hatred of contemporary queer theory to ignore actual critiques of homonationalism.
This is such a great post omg. I was thinking about this the other day and couldn’t figure out how to put it into words, let alone put it into words that aren’t four letter words!
have you ever wondered why anime people have such big eyes like this:
that’s because of scrooge mcduck
Osamu Tekuza. creator of Astro Boy and often called “The Godfather of Anime,” was a big fan of the Scrooge McDuck comics from back in the fifties and when he created Astro Boy, he based his art style on the Scrooge McDuck comics
so basically this character
who serves as the visual basis for the modern-day anime art style was inspired by this
which means that every time you get horny for this
or for these guys
you’re actually getting your jollies from the great grandkids of this motherfucker
No joke.
please don’t fuck the duck
Now I read all this with my both eyes and now it is your turn
it gets better
a lil while ago, tezuka’s daughter unlocked his work desk
what was inside?
a whack load of furry and transformation porn including one of a woman turning into a boob snake, locked away for SPECIAL OCCASION
when you are fapping to anime tiddies, you are fapping to the legacy of a furry artist
All anime tiddies descend from a literal furry’s admiration of a Charles Dickens duck-AU fanfiction character.
i never understood why everyone was so scandalized by the art locked in his desk cuz like
have you guys actually watched/read anything by tezuka
