First I’m watching Bob’s Burgers, good Tina episode, but I just couldn’t keep watching when I figured out the story revolved around Bob being a pimp for trans woman to make money. So I said fuck it, let’s try a different show, HIMYM is pretty benign, how about that. Nope, first joke was Ted making sure a woman that was hitting on him didn’t have a penis. Okay, slightly annoyed, I pick a random episode of American Dad, because why not it’s a serviceable show at worst, but nope. This was the newspaper gag.
I just… Three in a fucking row. And people keep trying to insist that “I’m just looking for these things they can’t be everywhere!” It is! Community, Futurama, actually pretty much everything on Comedy Central, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock, it’s fucking everywhere. It’s inescapable unless you’re watching directly queer-targeted media, and even then we’re usually still a punch line or a reason for a skinny white gay man to snap and say “hay gurl”.
You, the people out there that talk all this shit about “oh ~twanz people complain so much it can’t be that bad”, just don’t notice it because that’s the only way trans women have been presented to you: we’re either fat, ugly, hairy, man-ish yet somehow genderless blobs in a dress “haha point and laugh”-types, or we’re sex workers. Usually both. (also avert your eyes and make a startled noise, poor you having to lay eyes on such an undesirable.)
Transmisogyny/phobia…it’s errwhere… Basically every mainstream show.
This is my submission for the APB - Artists Against Police Brutality book - with John Jennings and Bill Campbell. Please take the time to read about the victims in the subsequent posts.
This actually almost made me cry, look at the number of shots fired for these…what the fuck
I am in tears. Please bring justice to these people. Please bring justice to all victims of police violence. Please.
just nicki’s verse because i got tired of always skipping to get there
even if you don’t like nicki or rap you have to admit this verse is pure art
Let’s not forget this is the verse Kanye almost cut because it shitted on every rapper in the game.
“It was like that moment when I thought about taking Nicki’s verse off of “Monster” because I knew people would say that was the best verse on the best Hip Hop album of all time or arguably top ten albums of all time. And I would do all that work, eight months of work on “Dark Fantasy” and people to this day would say to me ‘My favorite thing was Nicki Minaj’s verse.’” - Kanye West (x) LMAO IT HAPPENED
