“If a country can’t keep wages and costs down, its production will be moved to the next poor nation willing to sacrifice its citizens in the name of economic advancement. This is what organized labor calls the “race to the bottom,” and unions have campaigned futilely for decades to stop it. Only there is no bottom, really, in the global food chain because the world has a vast backlog of very poor nations desperate for jobs and anxious to please the multinational companies that buy the cheap goods and rebrand them as J.C. Penny or Benetton or best-buy stuff at Walmart.” -
thesaddesthomo replied to your post: not trying to be mean, but if we’re being honest nikita/alex shippers spend a lot of time shoving their ship down everyone’s throat. yes, we get it, nikita and alex love eachother on sme level but so do michael and nikita. and they are the ones who are going to be together and will likely be married by the end of this series, or it will be forshadowed, as you know. so just don’t be pushy be about it, and remember that just because nikita and alex have moments does not mean they are in love.i hate ~reasonable shipper talk~ that is just this weird boring shit where they pretend everyone’s equally guilty of stuff or whatever also this is boring
im sick of ~*~*critique*~*~ and fandom meta it’s so fucking annoying at this point
im more likely to trust the opinion of someone who has never written analyses on their favorite media but is active in social work/has a solid moral compass than someone whose analyses comprise almost all of their “social work”, fandom meta is not revolutionary or particularly important, ppl need to get over it
Haahaha this is how i feel. I’ve already seen in action the extraordinary amount of mental backflips people can use to try and rationalize a conclusion they’ve already come to or justify a preference they already had and make it look like it’s the only logical choice. this is pretty much all they do and it’s so boring………also when they try to make poignant posts and make it look like they sweat out months of analysis to come to the conclusion that their boring pairing is going to work out…
and i guess another thing is the bad pseudo-psychology they try to use to justify things haha

i’ve found people who are so concerned about fictional men or fictional women not being able to JUST BE FRIENDS WITHOUT BEING SHIPPED/CONSIDERED GAY (cue ~analysis~ on prioritization of romance over friendship) are way more concerned with…well, the feelings of straight people who are thought of as gay rather than of gay people who want to see romances they can relate to (hey, which often includes falling for a friend or colleague) in media.
like the way most people on tumblr look at friendship, romance, and sex and how they interact is weird.

catface-mcgee said: Thank you! That is very helpful :) I find this all so confusing, especially because idk I feel like if I say I’m gay, & then it turns out I’m bi I’ll have done something bad in claiming an identity that wasn’t really mine, or something :( idk
Look at it this way: If your identity shifts to bi whenever, all it means is you were more attracted to men than you thought you were, not that you are less attracted to women than you thought you were. That stuff can shift in and out for some women too throughout their life. Idk, I see bi women as my sisters and as long as you’ve loved women and care for them and treat them right you have done nothing bad by identifying as gay even if you feel confused sometimes (a lot of us do, esp as women i think). -

catface-mcgee said: what does ‘incidentally attracted’ mean exactly? I’m a confused gay-ish person :( I like girls a lot and I like some boys sometimes but not often or a lot, and also the thought of even kissing them makes me want to dig a hole and live in it forever
I’m no authority on the matter but I think this is actually a time where scales/numbers/phrases are more valuable to someone figuring themselves out than an identity label is. I can only tell you how I’d think if I were experiencing what you do (and I have earlier in my life), but I put myself as someone who wavers between kinsey 5-6. When I’m at 5 is when I feel “incidental attraction” to masculine presenting people or at least attraction that falls outside of my norm. This includes not just valuing someone’s appearance but also maybe the occasional fantasy (granted, my fantasies never star me anyway). “Pretty gay” “Mostly gay” is fine. “Incidentally attracted” means that it happens enough to be incidental, but the frequency of it is low enough that it’s not a constant, especially in comparison to your far more dominant and ever-present attraction.
