"racism and sexism are forms of prejudice wherein the oppressed is at a disadvantaged position of power" This is not true and a toxic definition. Also, power is contextual and not an absolute thing.

DEAR CAFAB/AFAB/DFAB TRANS PEOPLE
wheregendergoestodie:
my god, are you all kidding me right now?
we DO NOT GET TO CLAIM TO BE TRANS WOMEN OR TRANS FEMININE
i shouldn’t have to explain this but obviously i do!!
you were ASSIGNED OR DESIGNATED FEMALE AT BIRTH. trans means identifying with a gender one was NOT assigned at birth. it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR AFAB/CAFAB/DFAB PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY AS TRANS FEMININE. it’s like someone who identifies only with being human saying that that makes them otherkin.
anyone who’s trying to pull this shit— even if you’re bigender or a demigirl or anything like that— is being fucking disgusting and appropriative and trashy. trans women (ACTUAL, dmab trans women) already have so little that is just plain THEIRS; how in god’s name can you justify stealing their VERY NAME from them? i’m ashamed of you. ASHAMED. and you damn well should all be ashamed of yourselves.
log the fuck off.

And it is not helped by the fact that many NarSas argue with ~canon arguments~ that NarSas is better than SasNar (I’ve complained over and over because of that), nor the fact many SasNar actually HIDE THEMSELVES because the NarSas had been shaming them into “misreading” the manga if you ship SasNar.
And I’m not even kidding. The number of NarSas fans only who had been telling “How can YOU ship SasNar???? Don’t you see with THOSE FACTS that this is NARSAS, don’t worry we will make you ship NarSas!!” while the SasNar I met are all “Yeah, I know, I prefer SasNar, but you know, I just prefer it, but NarSas is cool too.. oh my god you too you ship SasNar?? I am not used to see SasNar fans, I am so happy!!!”
The only fact something like that ^ happens in our fandom is enough to make me cringe.

Can everyone please stop saying that Jasper is abusive and that Lapis is the victim? She did it to herself and she didn’t want help. Jasper is just following orders just like peridot yet everyone yells at Jasper for whatever reason. Lapis was stuck in a mirror and used as some stupid object that no one cared about, she has trust issues and is very angry, the only person to show her kindness was Steven and she’s trying to protect him because she doesn’t think the Crystal Gems can do it. Lapis needs to learn to trust others and Jasper needs to be taught wrong from right. You can’t blame either of them for how they are now, so please stop.

@adius256 No, I think it's been made abundantly clear exactly what those feelings are by this point.

As an aromantic asexual, I love fusion.
Fusion, in its healthy, consensual forms, is an ultimate act of trust and love. This is well established in canon at this point, through examples of healthy fusions, contrast with unhealthy fusions, and outright statement. But what’s really noteworthy about fusion is that it appears not to differentiate between relationships which are romantic/sexual, romantic without a sexual component, or platonic. There aren’t “lesser” forms of fusion for “lesser” forms of love, nor is fusion something that can only happen between a pair of perfect soulmates (in fact, Steven Universe rejects the limiting concept of a perfect soulmate outright). The determining factor in how well a fusion functions and how long it remains stable is how well those involved can mesh together; the strength of the relationship is not depicted as being dependent on type.
At the same time, and honestly for the same reasons, I really do appreciate the existence of “We Need To Talk”. Fusion is an expression of love that Greg simply wasn’t capable of (by conventional means, at least). He made every possible effort and still couldn’t do it. But this didn’t make his relationship with Rose inferior or incomplete, because, to paraphrase Greg, talking was more important. Through open communication, they were able to have a strong and whole relationship built on love and trust. The form in which that relationship was expressed was secondary.
Steven Universe has a lot to say about love in all its forms and I am so so glad this is a children’s show because kids need this. They really do. Queer kids need this. Kids with nontraditional families need this. Kids who aren’t white need this. Kids whose brains are wired a little different need this. Kids who don’t have good models of love at home or at school need this. They need this while they are kids, so they can carry these stories with them as they grow, so they don’t stunt themselves on purpose trying to fit a mold that doesn’t work for them and never will. The stories we encounter as children seep into our bones and sink roots in our minds, deeper than the ones we encounter as adults. They are sewn into the fabric of us, grow with us, inform our growing. While as an adult I love this series, take its messages to heart, and find comfort and validation in it, there are some ways in which it came too late for me. The thing about representation and models of healthy love in adult-targeted media is that it will ALWAYS be too late for the adults it reaches in the same way, because no matter how well it’s pulled off, there is a fundamental difference between encountering these things as a child and encountering them as an adult.
So… thank you, Steven. Thank you, Rebecca Sugar, and the Steven Crewniverse. Thank you for caring so much about what it means to love, to be loved, and to be a kid or an adult learning how to love.

nonas could solve almost all their fandom issues by not paying attention to other idiots tumblr but they won't because they love getting mad about stupid shit on the internet that doesn't effect them
tumblr isn't built for ignoring idiots
even when you follow someone who seems cool sooner or later they'll get sucked into something terrible
