I think in the middle of every heated debate about female Disney characters that focuses mainly on the princesses, there should be a twenty-minute break just to bask in Lilo’s glory.

This is completely out of nowhere, but….
Has it ever occurred to anyone else that the Sorting Hat was *really* slacking when it sorted the 7 Weasley children?
It’s as if the hat heard Weasley, took a mental holiday, and just…

This is kind of a cop out because there are so many animes that have tiny fandoms, and it would at least triple the number of fandoms I have to do right now. I will do a few of the larger anime fandoms separately, but this is all I can do for the rest so they are still included.
“GOD Lilly, it’s like they completely don’t get what it’s like to be a modern teenage princess!” Mia exclaimed.
Oh my fucking god. You could scratch that out and write “wearing make up means you don’t accept yourself for who you are because you’re conforming!!!” and it would be the same fucking thing. God forbid a character who “conforms to societal standards of beauty” can’t still respect herself for who she is and even be more happy and confident as a result.
God or godless forbid we have a character who doesn’t look like every main character (she was not so dramatically altered in the book). Like Mia is cool but she’s not a real person? I’m critiquing whatever director(s) decided that girls are always happier when they are changed to fit society’s ideal. There are very few “girl geek to popular b/c everyone realizes you’re cool now” movies that do not fit this transformation cycle.
Like, I keep my hair blond atm, I straighten my hair, I’d wear contacts if I wasn’t super lazy, and I respect myself. This isn’t about respect. It’s about opening up options and representation for the girls who don’t fit the image of the “ideal beauty” and don’t want to.

I don’t really need a list, I have a very simple reason or disliking it. It is actively reinforcing every negative stereotype I spend my days trying to break down.
At my store, I have had to actually walk outside and introduce myself to people that are afraid to come in. Comic book stores have an incredibly bad reputation, and some of them deserve it. But mine doesn’t, and I know there are thousands more that don’t either.
My comic store is a warm and safe place. People get kicked out for throwing around hate speech. New readers are loved, welcomed, and sent away with armfuls of books (for less than I should charge them SORRY). Without new readers coming in all of the time, our industry will die out.
And I feel like shows such as Big Bang Theory and Comic Book Men do their best to destroy the work that we (fandom, tumblr, and a new generation of creators) do. BBT portrays nerds as awkward, embarrasing, unable to talk to the opposite sex. Out of touch, ignorant, rude. Out of every 100 nerds I meet, only one is like that. Also let me tell you, nerds are flirty as fuck.
It just…it upsets me. I feel like the comic book/nerd community is portrayed in a more negative light than any other community, and it only serves to hurt us. What I want is a show about young men and women stumbling over a comic book store and embarking on a fucking fantastic journey head-first into nerdom and fandom and all of the amazing things that come with it.
A show that laughs with us, not at us.
And wow that was kind of a novel but, there you have it.

Rebagelable by request! I just….my comic store is my favorite place on earth. It’s my second home, and I feel safer there than I do anywhere else. It actively breaks my heart to see people afraid to share that place with me because it carries the stigma of ‘comic book store’.
i would just like to add that i was one of those people intimidated by the store and i was almost too scared to ask for help but i’m so grateful that i was welcomed with such enthusiasm and having a woman there leading my journey into the comic book world for the first time was just the most encouraging thing

My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.
