honestly do not think Dumbledore is gay. JKR should have wrote it into the books if it was true. Her saying it after the series was completed kind of made it seem like a ploy to attract more readers.
If you know a bit about gay coding the signs are there. All of the twinkling and outlandish clothes (even by magical standards) and the statues that may as well have been drag queens guarding his office. It’s not the kind of thing most people would pick up though. Certainly not children.
Which is…cowardly, at best. I don’t think she needed to have him talking about his love life with Harry or anything, but saying he’s gay after the fact without hints the average reader could pick up does make it seem like a ploy.
Hating this.
There was no need to mention it in the books, there was no place where it was necessary to mention Dumbledore was gay. She didn’t spell it out that anyone was straight, so why should she spell it out that he was gay?
Oh yeah, so you can judge him and reexamine all of his relationships, like the homophobe you pretend not to be.
The only reason she mentioned it after is because she was asked directly. She certainly doesn’t need any more readers.
Also the ‘#i preferred him when he wasn’t gay anyway’?!?? He was always gay, you just found out. That says a lot more about you than either Dumbledore or JK.Hey, fuck you.
There was a need to mention it. It’s called LGBTQ+ representation and visibility, and it’s actually REALLY fucking important to LGBTQ+ kids.
And you REALLY want to fucking say that the heterosexuality wasn’t spelled out? How about Ginny/Dean, Percy/Penelope, Cedric/Cho, Harry/Cho, Hermione/Krum, Hermione/Ron, Ron/Lavender, Draco/Pansy, Bill/Fluer, Fred/Angela, Hagrid/Maxine, The weasleys, the Dursleys, Snape/Lily, Andromeda/Ted, The Malfoys, Remus/Tonks, The Potters, the Longbottoms, Neville/Ginny, Harry/Ginny, or any of the other couples that were canonized. You see, you can tell me that “romance wasn’t the focus” in HP all you want, but it was still there. It saturated every book, it canonized the heterosexuality of all those characters and made sure that people like ME knew that there wasn’t a character like me around.
It is a god damn embarrassment that Dumbledore’s sexuality wasn’t canonized in the books. AN EMBARRASSMENT.
Dear Disney Fandom,
Feminist are part of your community. Feminist, like myself, love Disney. We also realize Disney is not all rainbows and sunshine. We can love the films, parks, and characters and still be critical of them. Stop pretending like we are raining on your parade and trying to make you hate Disney. Trust me, we aren’t. Some of us love it as much as you.
Love,
A Feminist who loves Disney.
I SWEAR IF ANYONE EVER SAYS “ANIME IS FOR KIDS, ITS JUST CARTOONS” TO ME
I WILL STRAP THEM DOWN AND FORCE THEM TO WATCH ELFEN LEID, HIGURASHI, DEATH NOTE, PUELLA MAGI, MONSTER, AND EVERY FUCKING DISTURBING, INSANE, INTENSE, PSYCHOLOGICAL ANIME UNTIL THEY ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY BROKEN
THEN I WILL LET THEM GO
AHD WHEN THEIR FRIENDS & FAMILY ASK WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THEM
I WILL STEP REALLY CLOSE
AND WHISPER IN THE MOST SERIOUS VOICE
“children’s cartoons.”I’ll help you tie them down.
crying I didn’t realize people shipped them omg and their faces this picture is too perfect

can we get a movement where, instead of covering up all the female heroes, we draw them in the same revealing costumes they always wear but just draw them anatomically correctly and in the same strong poses that male characters get
because you don’t have to cover up all your skin to look like/be a badass
you just have to, you know, look like your spine is still intact
I have no problem with skimpy clothing in general, but it bothers me that it’s the default. Let’s have some heroines wearing next to nothing, some that are covered up, and lots of heroines in between.
Snow White from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is strong. She is feminists favorite punching bag, right after Aurora but at least every once in awhile someone will come to Aurora’s defense. Snow (and Cinderella frankly) are seen as what is wrong with the Disney princesses. Snow likes cute animals, cooking, cleaning, and a useless dwarf. She befriends seven strange men who end up saving her in the end. Dude, the prince just comes and kisses her. She is stereotypically feminine. She doesn’t go fight for her country. She doesn’t prevent a war from breaking out. Girl is nice to every single person she meets, even the woman who tried to kill her. She felt bad that she scared the animals when they found her crying in the woods. She is kind hearted. She wants to help everyone she meets. Her looking out for others is what got her killed.
All of that being said does not make her weak. Sure, she is a bit naive but she lived a rather sheltered life. The queen had her locked away doing chores all day. When she found out the queen wanted her killed, instead of standing in the field looking at the huntsman, she fucking ran. She ran away to protect herself. She left an abusive home (she lived with the queen in her castle). When she met the dwarfs, she bargained with them so they wouldn’t kick her out. She ran that house. She put the dwarves and animals to work. She was very sweet but she was also the head bitch in charge. Even Grumpy didn’t try to backtalk her.
The fact she needed the dwarfs and animals to save her doesn’t make her weak. Saving yourself is more than just killing the enemy. It is about surviving, which Snow White did. She may not know how to throw a punch, shoot an arrow, or save her country, that doesn’t make her weak. Not every woman can defeat their demons/enemies on their own. Some of them need help from their friends, which the dwarfs and animals were to Snow, to defeat their enemy and that doesn’t make them weak.
Also, girls who prefer Snow White to Merida are not weak or “too girly.” There is no such thing as being “too girly.” Not all girls are going to relate to Merida and that is okay. Not all girls are going to like Snow White. Some girls like both characters. There is nothing wrong with girls liking the classic Disney princesses. There is nothing wrong with girls preferring the newer princesses. What is a problem is when people try to deem what princesses are “good” or “bad.”
Honestly, bravo. This is one of the best posts I’ve seen on tumblr. I hate that people think Snow is weak because she doesn’t perform heroic acts and, like you said, is traditionally feminine.
She managed to escape from the Evil Queen, make the best out of the situation in the woods and befriended the dwarves, and eventually found her Prince and her happily ever after. There is nothing wrong with that.
I am shocked my post has over 400 likes, reblogs, and comments. I didn’t think it would get to 50.
Yes, Adventure Time got away with a boy character liking a boy character.
Because they played it for laughs.
idk the context of this but of course it’s a brown person who gets called out for appropriating or misunderstanding an east asian culture when it seems like the manga-ka is completely stereotyping brown people to be ignorant cultureless morons. while refusing to answer for the loads of appropriation and ridicule of brown cultures that east asian cultures are accountable for.
kinda tired of it tbh. i see stuff like this but not much about east asians getting collected for blatant anti-blackness and appropriation when the latter happens 24 fucking 7.
I’d like to ask why the mangaka didn’t use a white person since there are FAR more white people fucking up then there are brown ones. The fact that they used a Black person says a lot really. - J
only on tumblr
shut up
This is the author, Felipe Smith is from brazil.
Also LMFAO because the biggest stereotype about weaboos is that theyre in the vast majority white.
Protip - never try to make any character anything other than white. People won’t realize that people, both good and bad, come in all different ethnicities and will just scream about how “racist” it is a non-white brazilian dared to put a non white looking character in his comic.
a comic written by a poc
with two poc
talking to each other about cultural issues where the other person is being polite about their culture being misrepresented
but we’re angry because a black person is portrayed as a weaboo
because weebs totes don’t come in all races, right
look i know east asia is anti-black at times with blackface and all but
this comic is obvs anti weaboo and not anti black
Hmm. I thought that the character seemed a little too sympathetic (even though we’re supposed to recognize him as being in the wrong here) to be just a stereotype or someone to hate.
Like maybe even an author self-insert or—
lol

So…everyone knows anime body proportions are idealized and kind of insane. But then I find this woman online. This amazing human with HER ANIME LEGS! SUPER LONG SKINNY ANIME LEGS! WHAT?! HOW??
So I even found a picture of venus online to compare. And like, now I’m going to take my stubby short legs over there to that sad corner.
AWESOME COSPLAY!
And I’m not gonna lie. I am envious of her fabulous legs.
She caught so much crap for cosplaying a Sailor Scout, because apparently only white girls can be Sailor Scouts >_>
