We understand. You found paradise on Tumblr, you had a good blog, you made a good following. Cringe culture protected you and there were bandwagons of ironic memes. And you didn’t need a fandom like us. But, now you come to us and you say - “Once-ler Fandom, come back to keep out Twitter users.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call us A Fandom Where People Had Legit Fun And Weren’t Harming Anyone. Instead, you come into our tags on the ten year anniversary that Gentleman Onceler was to be married, and you ask us How Bad Can It Be.

Queer fans shouldn't have to fight for every piece of media they love.
On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump released an anti-transgender tirade of a speech on his social media website Truth Social, outlining a genocidal plan against all transgender existence in the United States. Everyone on the right from mainstream Republicans to hardcore neo-Nazis are celebrating the video while Democrats and legacy news media outlets have so far largely ignored it. “So this is what we are up against,” tweeted legislative researcher and pro-transgender activist Erin Reed. She continues, “a national transgender ban in 2024. This is what they are planning. DeSantis is practicing this through executive actions in Florida. Trump is openly saying he will do the same.” This is unambiguously genocidal territory. Holocaust museums have warned that this rising anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric mirrors the hate that led up to the rise of Nazi Germany.
Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck
There is something you Disney gays need to understand.
The Walt Disney Corporation never has, and never will be, your friend or ally.
Disney is a multi billion dollar conglomerate.
Their one and only goal is to make more money than they did the previous year.
That is it.
They aren't trying to help you or your community.
Any politics they have either reflects the best way for them to make money or it was because someone put political pressure on them to do it. Or it is a publicity stunt.
"But what about creators like Dana Terrace? Or the history of queer people in animation?"
Listen to me. Artists like Dana and others do not work at The Rat because they want to.
They work there because Disney buys up every other little animation company there is and shuts it down, ensuring that any money being made from the medium is going to them.
DreamWorks and a tiny handful of others are the only ones left in western animation.
I am not kidding.
Blue Sky, who made Ice Age, was one of Disneys latest victims.
They shut down all production, even for things that were nearly complete, on all products that did not fit their brand.
Such as the movie adaption of Lumber Janes, a queer focused comic by ND Stevenson (creator of the She-Ra reboot).
As for the historical guys, such as Howard Ashman AKA the father of the Disney Renaissance, they may have worked there and done amazing things but it doesn't mean they were respected by the company.
Howard and his fellow gay artists were only allotted the creative freedom to work because at the time Disney was nearly penniless and this was a last ditch effort to save the company.
Gay artists may have risen Disney up, but it does not mean that the company cares for them or us.
In the eyes of these boardroom execs, the artists are tools needed to make a profit.
And gay consumers are the fools who will buy the rainbows-colored sweatshop produced products and call the company woke.
So. What can we do about this?
Rule #1: Avoid giving Disney money at all costs.
I know this is really hard because they own literally everything. But do your best.
This also includes any of their streaming services.
Buy used DVDs or just pirate.
And before anyone gets their panties in a wad about wanting support queer creators like Dana Terrace, let me remind you:
Creators and animators are paid a lump some regardless of if something does well or not.
All that revenue produced by things like Gravity Falls or Luca goes to the execs and stock holders, not the people responsible.
Rule #2- Support artists directly
If you like things like The Owl House and Dana Terrace's work, make a lot of noise about it on social media.
Buzz absolutely is a currency and the more that is generated, the more likely that these things will get renewed.
Rule #3- Support Unions
Unions are what keeps artists from being treated like slaves.
And any union (regardless of background or career) is a good union.
Rule #4- Do not fall for Disney's bullshit
No matter how progressive they may seem, there is always an ulterior motive and always a catch.
They are not our allies no matter what.
We are on strike. I wish it wasn't happening, wish that the producers would negotiate in good faith, and support the strike 100%.
ilove homosexuals i love bisexuals i love trans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yayy ayyayy ayy Weare all sooo ocool
