The Crystal Gems: We’ve been at this for 6 months…. Boat trips… Dives…. Scouring, scanning, combing the very depths of the ocean, and yet we have not found so much as a single trace of Malachite. The ocean is unfathomably vast. The chances of ever finding an individual Gem down there are truly infinitesimally slim…
Lapis: I caught a fish her name is Jasper and I fucking hate her.

In all fairness, jasper was also looking for lapis and flawed her for who knows how long now that she was free to move freely and not trapped at the bottom.

A Tasting Menu of Female Representation:

rehfan:

madlori:
qfeminism:
thisisrabbit:
priscellie:
cl-hilbert:
The Bechdel:
two or more women talking to each other about something other than a man
The Mako Mori:
at least one female character with her own narrative arc that is not about supporting a man’s story
The Sexy Lamp:
a female character that cannot be removed from the plot and replaced with a sexy lamp without destroying the story.
Chef’s Specials:
The Anti-Freeze:
no woman assaulted, injured or killed to further the story of another character.
The “Strength is Relative”:
complex women defined by solid characterization rather than a handful of underdeveloped masculine-coded stereotypes.
Furiosa test.
^^
“Ghostbusters” blows all of these tests completely out of the water.
And generates at least one that I think ought to be added:
The Pizza Night Test
Women are shown eating non-salad food and no comment is made about anyone getting fat or breaking their diet.
I love everyone in this bar.

uh actually dont? yell at hets for using words like datemate and partner?
because there is always a chance that one of them is a closeted trans person and they’re trying to not misgender them while also not outing them
and normalizing gender-neutral language makes doing that safer anyway
normalizing gender-neutral language for romantic or sexual partners also lessens the strain on closeted LGBPA people in same gender relationships
normalizing gender-neutral language for spouses/partners/datemates/SOs/etc even for cishets is helpful to everyone, ESPECIALLY queer people

arht:

no offense but let bisexual girls talk about boys like… y'all praise us when we gush about other girls but when we mention a cute boy y'all call us straight… like how do you expect bisexuals to feel comfortable with themselves if you only show validation for part of their attraction?? it just doesn’t make sense??

And if I vote Green or Libertarian on principle?

Then you’re letting trump win. Haven’t you ever taken history 1? There are dozens of elections where one party only won because the other party was split.
