ok enough regular fujoshi media we need to investigate how writing about men fucking is actually proxy sex between women we need a story about two womens increasingly codependent and toxic online friendship built on writing slash fiction together escalating to doing sex roleplay on instant messengers pretending to be their favorite ship to get better at writing so they can really embody the mind of the characters obviously and talking one of the women thru her divorce and their weird emotionally blurred and toxic friendship as the more talented friend keeps leveraging her popularity and control over a major fanfic site in the fandom to keep control over the rapidly deteriorating friendship and they have weird phone sex and one of them realizes they are gay for real and gets a girlfriend whos jealous of how much time shes spending online and the friendship eventually explodes and one of them goes on to get published and the other woman shows up at her book signing and its the first time they have ever seen each other face to face but only one of them knows who the other is
The Robot Who Looked Like Me, from Cosmopolitan Magazine by Dick Ellescas (Nov. 1973)
i will say this as a person who is not white: i think being called racist as a white person is like way lower stakes than anyone makes it out to be. and like, the reality is that white people have an inflated sense of anxiety about what being called Racist Means when like. let's be fucking real for a second. it does not meaningfully often result in Material Violence to a person for being "called racist." and I think being racist is just a thing that happens. and like if we are going to say that being accidentally racist from time to time is something that like, is relatively low stakes, that has to go hand in hand with being like. ok well I guess i should take some time to think about why someone might think I'm racist and like Do something about that.
like I think the paranoia and anxiety about how Being Called Racist is something that Does Violence to People is rooted in a white guilt racialized anxiety and if I am going to be real with you I do not think it is based in material reality. you can be a little uncomfortable it's not the end of the world. i think it's frustrating as a racialized person to see so many white people more frantically hand-wringing over the prospect of being called "racist" than over the prospect of Being Racist. it's annoying to say the least.
like idk girl. what can i tell you? do you know how frustrating it is to be a racialized person and have nobody hear you when you say something is hurtful to you because of racialized reasons? even people nominally "in your community" whatever that means? does the materialism fall out of your head when it comes to race for whatever reason? grow past your anxiety and your discomfort.
i think many people are racist frequently and "unintentionally" for what it's worth and i think it's low stakes for the most part. how are you able to handle telling other people that it's transmisogynist or homophobic to treat you a certain way but you pearlclutch when people are like that was kind of racist. it's not a cosmic sin. it's just a thing that should be understood and grown from, graciously. come on.
Tonight we let the chicken tortilla soup talk
