Damn it all, they've invaded the Legend of Korra fandom now:

Quote

Can we please not describe Bumi with words like ‘crazy’, ‘insane, ‘psycho’, etc. [or for any of the other characters for that matter].

Here are some non-ableist replacement words to use for Bumi: eccentric, erratic, random, odd, goofy, silly, quirky, bizarre, capricious, unreserved, impulsive… Look through a dictionary or thesaurus for more.

please & thank (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

John Wayne Gacy was a really goofy, quirky, unreserved man.

I think they are talking about Avatar: The last airbender, not Legend of Korra. TLA had Bumi the eccentric/crazy/crazy-awesome king and Ang's childhood friend.

Awesomely so, mind.

I didn't know where to put this so...



The blog that posted this is becoming one of my favorite blogs. It chronicles various things so-called 'allies' say to the queer community. Such as the one I posted. "Allies" seem to think same-sex marriage is the only issue out there for queer people. "Allies" ignore other things such as homelessness and hate crimes.

I would have thought one of the many "points" of legalizing SSM when you don't care to marry the same sex yourself is that it helps to "normalize" the LGBT community in the eyes of the average straight folk.  After all, it's hard to maintain a dividing line between "Us" and "Them" if we can look over the picket fence and see that "They" have spouses, kids, etc. just like "We" do.

The more straight people see LGBT as being another kind of normal, the less of a problem we'll have with the other nasty issues by default.  It won't mean we can all sit on our laurels and watch bigotry solve itself; however, it will make solving those issues possible in places where it isn't yet.

Honestly, I'm hesitant to call non-straight folks "another kind of normal."  They're more just...humans.  Normalcy is a quaint ideal that ultimately means nothing when everyone is, in one way or another, "abnormal."  It just depends on how ya look at things.  I find enjoying Justin Bieber to be abnormal, but for others its perfectly normal.  Subjective terms are fun like that.

If you go by the generally accepted definition of "normal", then LGBT is certainly abnormal: heterosexuality and cissexuality is the majority, making it the norm. By its very definition, being homosexual or transsexual makes you abnormal.

It's just that it's not a bad thing.

If we go by that definition, white people are abnormal.

We are after all a global minority...

Anyone else notice how the Worst SJ thread maintains an almost perfect 3x size to the Best SJ thread. It's done this since at least when the were 27 and 9 pages respectively, if I'm remembering right. It seems to rarely vary from the perfect 3x page number by more than one page. just in the last day it seems to have gone from 31 and 93 to 32 and 97 (like I said, an occasional variation of one page).
