Your reminder that mainstream media isn't worth the paper it's printed on these days.

![Some idiot proudly displaying the fact that they censored a library copy of the groundbreaking graphic novel "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe in order to shame their recorded queer experience. The graphic novel page begins with the title "Interest in erotic gay fiction has been so prevalent in my friendships, one could mistake it for a prerequisite." In the second panel, a group of friends are sitting together in college watching the TV show Supernatural. One asks, "When did you first ship Sam & Dean?" and the other responds, "When Dean pushed Sam against the bridge in the first episode!" However, this censoring idiot has physically covered "Sam" with masking tape and written "Cas" [even though that makes no sense in the context of that ship's history, FFS, Cas didn't come in until Season 4]. They then proudly explain they "HAD" to censor it because the original sentence contains incest and it's "Nastyyyyy". And I guess they think their opinion gives them the right to tell other queers how to tell their history.
This is embarrassing, juvenile behavior, and it's HARMFUL. IDGAF what you ship - editing someone else's real, lived queer history because their experiences don't match your sense of propriety is appalling on every level. Good job doing the fascists' work for us, and I mean that sincerely. When we tell people they can't talk about their queerness unless they lived it according to our standards, we deny them the right to be real and authentic. It's no different than some asshole editing a queer couple to be straight to suit their sense of appropriateness. Fucking grow up, support queer peoples' authentic lives, and recognize that fantasizing about fiction does not in any way equal reality.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6chuncbfikt27ahtgoo7myp/bafkreicnxegpualx7gbzsy6obicp3xe4rsnz4r3ttb7gvmpun2omxtpure)
