What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

melancholic romantic comic cynic. bi & genderqueer. fantasy writer. sysrae on ao3.

Anonymous asked: How strange - a person who claims to be smart enough to use big words in a post, and to understand the themes of Star Wars, and yet clearly not smart enough to blacklist her hated ship, and to block the people who ship it, so as not to ever come across it again.

Ah, yes - the patented “if I close my eyes the problem goes away” approach to life. 

Listen. I’m allowed to dislike the thing. Opting not to totally wall myself off from even the merest hint of Kylux does not invalidate that dislike, because choosing to unsee the consequences of a problem doesn’t change the fact that it still exists. I did not put my post in the Kylux tag, because that’s a shitty thing to do; if you found it there via a reblog, that’s not my doing. I’m not going to blacklist everyone who posts anything Kylux-related, because I have some good friends who ship it, but I’m still allowed to take issue with the woobie pastelification of genocidal white space nazis as a goddamn concept, especially at a point in time where America is frighteningly close to electing a real one.

And really - if your argument here is “don’t engage in any way whatsoever with a perspective you don’t like,” then why the hell are you messaging me?
