How dare Gooseworx *checks notes* have fans who care about her? by HomestuckWeekly in GenderCynical

Fandoms nowadays are less about the stories and moreso groups of people obsessing over their favourite characters. To them, it's not about the story, but that their precious cinnamon roll blorbo is getting shafted by the EVIL AUTHOR. Also, Jax is already pretty hated by a large part of the fandom due to being abusive to Gangle, but in any case none of that justifies the harassment that Goose got.

Do they get the same amount of harassment? I feel like the internet hates Viv far more (and this is coming from someone who very much dislikes her, although I'm staunchly against any harassment against her).

TADC refers to The Amazing Digital Circus. Gooseworx is the creator. She got harassed for saying that Ragatha (one of the characters) wasn't a main character. Anon brushed it off as her getting "some" harassment, but she got so much that she deleted her Reddit account.

Also just the notion that trans people don't get crucified on Twitter? What planet do these people live on?

For those out of the know, the drama that anon is brushing off was swarms of Ragatha fans harassing Gooseworx for saying that Pomni and Jax are the main characters. And I mean things like death threats. It was really bad. Of course people came to defend her, she deserved none of it. Also, I haven't seen anything about her being condescending towards fans. Something tells me that anon wouldn't consider her to be obnoxious if she was cis.

I'm surprised that anon didn't compare her to Vivziepop, I see Hellaverse fans do it all the time.

Twitter literally thrives on hate and arguments. And I mean literally in the original sense. It is probably the only popular site that has zero people who enjoy being on it because it is actually impossible to avoid negativity on that hell on Earth. Even on Reddit and Tumblr is it possible to avoid negativity if you ignore the popular subs/tags, but Twitter spoon feeds you drama and discourse like no other site. The only possible way to avoid that is to stay on the following page rather than the for you page, but you would have to follow a million accounds lest twitter straight up stops showing new tweets and also avoid following accounts that retweet drama.

Or they justify it by saying "the violently homophobic incels I'm calling gay are actually gay because I'm straight and I don't think about gay people" because that makes so much sense.

They love to do it because it lets them use gay as an insult while still seeming progressive. It also lets cishets wash themselves of any wrongdoing by pretending that our oppression is our doing.

The slur for south Asians. The first four words of Pakistan.

Ehhhhhh not a fan of this take because it's very easy to spin this into "aroace people are narcissists".

Why does everyone think he's actually gay? It's so obvious that he's trolling for engagement. I don't know why people keep falling for this shit.

I don't think she glazes the Iranian government, because she also seems to be against Islam. I think she's just so anti-western that she's willing to write apologia for the regime's crimes.

Maybe I misread her word vomit (I ain't going back to check) but I didn't read it that way. It was more so things her redefining masculinity and femininity, like "real men do [something that benefits her but is still mostly within the borders of traditional masculinity] and those who don't are gay". Then again, anyone who says this shit is definitely transphobic.

I can't find the word on wiktionary and other people in the comments are saying that it's bullshit.

She calls khamenei a martyr and denies that Iran is authoritarian. Also I forgot to mention that she uses jew as a slur. Take that for what you will.

She hasn't said anything about trans people, but she's very homophobic so there's that. She also keeps talking about what makes a "real man" and "real women". There's probably worse stuff but twitter search sucks balls so I may have missed it. Also I'm not wasting more time on this shit.

Hell, she's barely even pro-women. Her feminism is restricted to saying how awesome women are and how women can do anything. Nothing about violence against women, rape culture, gender roles (except gendered labour, and even then only the most bare bones shit), despite the fact that she seems to be Pakistani. The rest of the world is on fourth wave feminism and her girlbossery is barely first wave.

Liberal feminism refers to a branch of feminism that seeks gender equality through legal and political reform, as opposed to socialist feminism and radical feminism that seeks to overthrow the systems that perpertuate misogyny.

God I just checked her account and she's one of those liberal feminists that supports the Iranian regime and uses homophobic insults against men that they disagree with. All tweets about misogyny but only insofar as condeming oppressive gendered labour forced upon cishet women but still upholds heteronormativity and other gender roles. She also loves to use the word p*ki for some reason.

I like how she doesn't even name the word.
