pinned post is outdated since my commission stuff is different now due to disability fun, so here we go

Yo I’m Andy and I’m a (newly) disabled transmasc nb. I like to draw funky shit when I can.

• fascists, nazis, TERFs and other transphobes, racists, and any other flavor of bigot fuck off. While yes I think DNIs are more or less virtue signaling that won’t deter a shithead may as well do my due diligence
• I am autistic, i may say something inappropriate but i do appreciate being informed if so if it’s done so in good faith
• anything that doesn’t have reblogs disabled is ok to reblog!
• I use “:)” unironically, i like smileys so im not being passive-aggressive i prommy i just have whimsy
• My art can be suggestive sometimes as i rlly do enjoy the human form unclothed i just think it’s neat, viewer beware
• aro/ace if it matters
• I experiment with a lot of different artstyles
• i stream on twitch sometimes, come hang out: https://www.twitch.tv/meowdy_howdy

the current trend of “tumblr users embarrassing themselves by proudly announcing why they don’t listen to any music made by black people” is really astounding.

i cannot help but think this is a direct result of liberal White Guilt and how people have interpreted “anti-racism” as form of cultural self-segregation - the kind of person who thinks trying to cook chicken curry is cultural appropriation, or sends white people anon hate for wearing a kimono (yes, this kind of discourse happened). like, “oh, no, i could never participate in this culture, i’d get my evil white hands all over it! it would be more Progressive if I only did White things.”

if you’re a poc you’ve seen this, i’m sure - this deer-in-the-headlights stare you can get from white people when you play music / show art / share a story / anything that is Racially Coded, this total refusal to actually engage with it out of fear that it is in some way Wrong for them to have any opinion on it. because they read somewhere that it’s bad to use AAVE but the only lesson they actually learned from that is “gotcha, white people are not allowed to interact with other cultures as punishment for my White Crimes. this helps to fill up the gaping pit of my white guilt and makes me one of the Good People.” this transforms their discomfort around non-white cultures (black culture, especially, i should add) into a kind of virtue

anyway if you are white and reading this. go listen to some fucking haliu mergia. ethiopian jazz. will knock your dick right off. go listen to rap or reggae or bollywood and have a genuine reaction to it - like, an actual, from-the-heart reaction. you are allowed to not like some of it. but you will definitely like at least a little. yes, you can compare it to lemon demon (or whatever) if that helps you get into it and that’s your only point of reference. maybe don’t say that part out loud. but don’t, like, separate yourself from it, like you are seeing it in a museum and the only polite thing to do is go “ahh, huh, very interesting, so much culture here.”

I did not write this nearly scolding enough.

I am disappointed that so many people reblogging this seem to have gotten the milquetoast message “appreciation is not appropriation! promote artists of color!” instead of what I’m actually trying to communicate, which is “a lot of people who call themselves well-meaning liberals are actually deeply uncomfortable around people of color and other cultures in general, so they frame their avoidance as a kind of respect so they can keep their own self-image consistent.” I am not saying “aw, they mean well.”

could’ve written it better but oh well! too late

not proshipper not anti but a secret third thing (person who has a career in the media and, through covering legislative politics, has watched “associating with problematic fiction or entertainment is an indicator of moral degeneracy” rapidly become a mainstream GOP position that they are encoding in legislation to target the queer community under the guise of protecting children, thus coming to the conclusion that positioning the “can people enjoy things that would be immoral IRL in their fiction” debate as a proship v anti fandom debate is akin to pretending that “should we have the death penalty” is a discussion that only matters in Death Note discourse — the extent and manner to which fiction affects reality is an issue that is immediately relevant to today’s US politics, and to summarize my opinions on the matter in fandom terms would be to diminish the ways this debate is affecting america Right The Fuck Now. and i have stopped taking “this person is bad for shipping the wrong anime thing and being horny about it” in any sort of good faith ever since I saw it literally used as part of a GOP smear campaign against a transgender state legislator in an attempt to defend the right from backlash after they used their supermajority in the Montana house to prevent her from speaking on the floor. Anyway I think everyone on this site, especially Americans, could benefit from ceasing to think in proship v anti vocabulary and instead developing coherent political positions on the nature of fiction that do not directly align with current fascist political tactics)

and yes, this does pretty much align with the “proshipper” position — to be clear, i’m firmly in the camp that it’s literally fine to ship whatever and engage in fiction however you want and people are not morally wrong for making art that engages, even gleefully or pornographically, in dark topics. the reason i still choose to not call myself a proshipper is for a few reasons:

-there are so many different implications under that umbrella, and i resent the dichotomy that reduces so many different positions on so many different aspects of media studies to two different labels. such a framing actively stifles discussion and prevents people from having tough and thorny conversations about media with people they mostly agree with

-i think “proshipper” is only a useful positional label for people whos primary mode of engagement with media is through fandom. but as a journalist and queer person, the main ways in which the “does fiction affect reality and how” issue interfaces with my life have nothing to do with fandom, so it feels backwards to me to define my opinions regarding media in relation to the area that has the least relevance to my life

-i want my actual opinions to be the most visible part of how i engage with fandom, rather than a label that will cause everyone to draw nuance-stripped conclusions that vary depending on which “side” they fall on. i want people to listen to me, not project their expectations onto me and listen to a phantom of me they’ve created

-why should i? if people are willing to engage with me regarding media discussion, it shouldn’t matter whether i choose to identify as a proshipper or not — they should treat my ideas on their own merits. and if people think that i’m a sick freak for “condoning” whatever is problematic these days, they’re not going to care what i call myself, they’re going to call me a sick freak anyways. and im kinda petty and want them to actually have to read my posts and rub two braincells together to interpret things and think critically about how to label me instead of seeing “proship” and slamming the cancel button

  

food stamp office worker was rude as fuck to me and weirdly enough it was my cis female roommate that she kept misgendering?? (to be fair i was not gendered at all and i think it was due to assuming some kind of romantic relationship)
