totally agree-snoke lied. &amp; I ADORE Diana &lt;3 also, I’m sorry you’ve had to go through that struggle, I can definitely relate to some of ben’s inner turmoil as well.

Diana is just the best. I love her so much. And I’m so glad Wonder Woman was a good movie so more people got to love her like I do. 

And thank you. I’m sorry you can relate to his inner struggles, too. It’s not a lot of fun.

Oh man I legit never shut up about sastiel, so that makes sense!! Alternate canon is SO FUN. There’s so much that can be done with canon divergent/alternate canon. I think my wincest bb counts as alternate canon but I’m not sure???

I think it does. Like, imo, alternate canon is different from canon divergent in that something is changed enough that it’s set in the same universe but can barely be traced back to canon, if that makes sense? Like, your WBB is alternate canon because things diverge so early in canon that it would be a completely different experience. The story you’re telling isn’t just diverging from canon so certain characters never died or characters can get together, it’s a whole new ball game. And I think those are a lot of fun.

Oh these people are everywhere on this site. In trying to keep myself abreast of fandom drama so I know who to stay away from I’ve been exposed to so much “”“"discourse”“”“ that really just amounts to good old fashioned transphobia, biphobia (no acknowledgement that pan folks exist), acephobia, whorephobia… like you name it, it’s there.

The really insidious thing is that a lot of these folks post stuff that’s pretty relatable. A story about a woman who was mansplained to, followed by complaining about men. Gender essentialism disguised as body positivity. Shitposts unrelated to their hideous politics. You won’t know it unless you pick up on their dog whistles or check their blogs where they do boast about being radfems, or "cis/trans women” . It’s hideous.

“I’m a cis woman who identifies as a trans woman…

What the actual….?? Lady. No. Those are mutually exclusive. No no no no no

She’s a TERF. Logic doesn’t apply to TERFs because they’re stuck on this stupid ass view where they don’t believe trans folks are an actual thing. We’re either 1) evil men trying to horn in on women only spaces 2) confused lesbians 3) non existent attention seekers who never experience “real dysphoria” (tell that to my phantom penis, lady).
Some of these individuals have decided that if identification as trans is all you need to be trans they can all themselves trans (regardless of whether or not that makes any fucking sense or how insensitive and insulting it is) and then shriek about you being a transphobe. Because that makes sense! (I’m not getting into their understanding of identification or being trans because they don’t understand and frankly it makes me want to vomit.)
Next time you see a post on tumblr that’s complaining about men, be wary if they use the word “male” instead of “men” or if they refer to men as “creatures” or any other dehumanizing terms. 90% of the time they’ll be either TERFs, radfems of a different flavor, or something close to it.
