*hopefully* a cold take on rep in media

who tf is yuri

@seal yeah, I know that i've seen a lot of people without the thing being represented "call out" things they think are offensive and that's another thing that just kinda urks me, like imagine if someone with the thing being represented is talking about how they feel seen and someone is like "now I am not/don't have this but- this is an offensive and stereotypical character, if you like them, you are a biggot and an idiot lacking media literacy"

[Yanderemenhera]

if I were to talk about how I find like, nicolus cage in [censored]'s wonderland good autism rep, I would likely see someone without autism (I see more people without autism complain about stuff than people with autism) yell at me in comments about the depiction being incorrect or something else about how it's a white man and that offensive bc there's too little POC with autism in media and I should be highlighting that instead. of that he's not autistic irl so he shouldn't play an autistic person in a movie and that in of itself is bad (all of these are real things i've heard btw, not that they aren't neccerally vaild criticisms) and honestly ATP I don't really wanna talk about who I find good rep in media on like, YouTube bc of how nasty people are in comments

[Yanderemenhera]

[Yanderemenhera]

@sweetpuddin we are alowed to swear, the censorship was implemented to prevent people from saying offensive words but it was poorly implemented and swearing and normal words that could even possibly be used in an offensive or like, nsfw way get censored regardless of context. like JΕRK if typed normally will be censored regardless of context
