and it's often a front for terfs doing what terfs do best, being shitty to trans women, i would queue anything for love, yup

southpawgrammar1995:

one of the things that bothers me most about posts which imply (or outright state) that all men are inherently abusive, aside from the fact that it’s objectively untrue, is that it normalises and excuses abuse – if abusiveness is inseparable from maleness and masculinity, then abusive men aren’t really accountable for their actions, because by that logic they can’t help it. this also falsely implies that there is no alternative male behaviour, which is incredibly dangerous and absolutely contributes to victim blaming where the perpetrator was a man. men can be gentle! men can be loving! if you’re attracted to men, accept nothing less, and never place the blame on your own attraction to men if you are poorly treated rather than on the man in question for actively choosing to mistreat you.

and the best part () is, anything would have been better than what he did do, even people who were alive at the time have no idea what happened, he did jack shit, insists there was, motherfucker, nothing reagan could have done, that my father the Straightest of the Straights, that's the entire point, this was so fucking insidious, yup

elfiot:

please take the time to remember every member of our community who was lost from aids. our government did nothing to save them. our schools do nothing to remember them. an entire generation of lgbt culture and history has been lost, the generation just before our own. remember them when people ask why theres suddenly so many lgbt kids in this generation. we’ve always been here. we cant be stomped out. we will remember our roots and by doing so we can keep those we have lost alive.

[Even though I love Quark so, so much, the Ferengi read as pretty antisemetic to me. The ears, the nose, the over-the-top drive for money, the fact that the two Ferengi actors I think of first, Armin Shimerman and Wallace Shawn, are Jewish… It doesn’t help that all the articles I’ve seen about this are by raging antisemites. ]

i never liked that about him, i would queue anything for love, yup

jewish-mccoy:

ghostlymccoy:

let’s talk about flaws

namely, the flaws of mccoy

he is, at the very least, comfortable using xenophobic and racist terminology. hobgoblin, as he uses it in aos, is clearly derogatory. he isn’t being affectionate with spock when he says it. he’s angry, and he’s lashing out.

so he describes spock with a word he knows is unkind. spock isn’t human (and, presumably in mccoy’s mind, isn’t behaving as a human would), so leonard has to use a term for someone who isn’t human. thus the xenophobia.

in tos (and as ambassador spock in aos), spock is played by jewish man leonard nimoy. gene roddenberry, a man nimoy himself described as antisemitic, would have known nimoy was jewish (not least because nimoy drew on his jewish heritage to flesh vulcans out- the iconic vulcan salute came from an experience during nimoy’s childhood in a synagogue). the original design for vulcans even included horns- something that, to put on a jewish man, would absolutely invoke an antisemitic trope: the idea that jewish people are demons/(hob)goblins/inhuman.

the writers- esp at the time of tos, which established the use of the term- had to be aware of this when they put it in.

they knew they were going to make a southern white man call a jewish man a derogatory term.

bones’ being southern matters because writers use a lot of shorthand. one trait signals a bunch of others. and you may not want to hear this, but to a lot of people, the first thing we think of when we’re introduced to a white southern man is racism.

and to have that white southern man use a nasty epithet to describe an alien, jewish character (repeatedly, in the case of tos) as a hobgoblin is of course going to resonate with audiences as more than the simple poking of a prickly friend. particularly when you remember that bones and spock aren’t friends yet when bones says it in aos.

that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy him as a character or relate to him. but we do need to be critical about who we defend and how we defend them.

tl;dr mccoy is far from a sweet, unproblematic boy. he was deliberately written the way he is, and as uncomfortable as that might make fandom, that means that when he calls spock a racial epithet, we need to take note.

as a southern jew, I can say with absolute certainty that the way mccoy is designed is very typical of southern white men. white people here especially are very comfortable using racist and antisemitic terminology and don’t much care if it offends you, if you get offended you’re just taking it the wrong way.
