I've Said This Before But I Think One Of The Reasons Scum Villain Occupies Such A Unique Niche Of Queer

I've said this before but I think one of the reasons scum villain occupies such a unique niche of queer representation is because it's one that interrogates society's expectations on gender and sexuality, but within a world where there's no strict ramifications for queerness. Instead the expectations and constraints on queerness are carried solely through Shen Yuan's internalized issues, which are so deeply set they motivate many of his decisions within the book, but aren't enforced by any direct outside forces in PIDW. It's a great critique on how the effects of internalization can persist even when someone isn't in an environment where they're being directly oppressed, and how it can take years and years to unpack and unlearn.

When The Anti "LGBT Propaganda" Law Passed In Russia, All Of You Were Going Insane And Cared. Give Georgia
When The Anti "LGBT Propaganda" Law Passed In Russia, All Of You Were Going Insane And Cared. Give Georgia

When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.

If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.

Make sure to spread this around. This is important.

being a shivgirl and a romangirl is actually about experiencing horrible despair whenever shiv embarrasses herself or is shut out in a room full of men and absolute euphoria when roman bombs every one of his goals and tries to kill himself
