Fandom problems

Friend: So hows the fandom?

Me: idk i haven’t checked tumblr yet

Me: *gets on tumblr*

Tumblr: *everyone is screaming something got released something got more visuals/art and people are dying*

Me: Its doing good

For clarification: Do you think artists who represent and promote groups that aim to hurt people deserve to be defended by virtue of being artists? I'm just trying to separate the discourse from the chaff here.

Hey, you seem like an alright person! :] I’ll respond to this.I don’t think anyone deserves to be defended just by virtue of being an artist, and nazis can go fuck themselves (the whole webcomic community thinks this, it’s not really in contention). However, let’s take a look at who Tumblr harasses:

Sam Hyde

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr.

Red Panels

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr

He He Silly Comics

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr.

Erika Moen

Sex-positive feminist.

Harassed viciously by Tumblr for a mistake she made 8 (!) years ago and thoroughly apologize for, because they needed a justification for harassing her because of the cuck comic.

Adam Ellis

Left liberal?

Harassed viciously by Tumblr for reusing some assets, then further harassment justified because he decided to sass the people harassing him a bit. Apologized for the sass, harassment continued.

Ohnips

Liberal? Maybe libertarian at most?

Harassed viciously by Tumblr because of Dream Daddy fanart, then further harassment justified because afterwards it was revealed that she’s ignorant on some issues.

So, what am I meant to think, when people pull all of this shit, and when I call it out they say “but what about nazis???” Yeah, what about nazis? Tumblr never actually fucking harasses nazis. They prefer to dedicate their energy to fairly well intentioned people who they’ve deemed “problematic.” And often, deemed “problematic” AFTER the harassment has already begun, in order to justify the harassment. :)

By all means, harass a nazi today, my dudes. You won’t see me interfering.

But don’t bullshit me.

*high-pitched screaming* aaAAAARTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

“If it’s about a dad dating other dads, how come some of them have kids???”

Tumblr is kind of like Friends except everyone is Chandler.

Stop the press, the big question has been answered!!

“La sirena y el pescador,” Elisa Chavez.

Hey all! This poem is part of my chapbook Miss Translated, which I produced in a limited run as Town Hall Seattle’s Spring 2017 artist-in-residence. The main conceit behind this work is that to accurately portray my relationship with Spanish, I have to explore the pain and ambiguity of not speaking the language of my grandparents and ancestors. As a result, these poems are bilingual … sort of. Each one is translated into English incorrectly.

The poems I produced have secrets, horrific twists, emotional rants, and confessions hiding in the Spanish. It’s my hope that people can appreciate them regardless of their level of Spanish proficiency.
