I hate this idea people have made of people like, fetishizing themselves by creating representation where-ever the fuck they want it.

Like, if a straight dude looked at every female character and said “lesbian” you could possibly consider that his motive is fetishization, but a lesbian calling her favorite characters lesbians is not fetishization. it’s hard to call “Velma from Scooby Doo is a lesbian reblog if you agree” fetishization of lesbians, especially if it’s a post made by a lesbian and reblogged mostly by lesbians

There is actually porn of Velma from Scooby Doo and other female characters, drawn for straight men to get off to. Is that fetishization? Yea! 

But honestly I’m so tired of “Autistic people calling characters autistic is fetishizing autism” “Lesbians calling characters lesbians is fetishizing lesbians” “Trans people calling characters trans is fetishizing being trans” because it’s literally just people finding or creating representation and there’s such a difference from things that actually fetishize each of these things. Calling the search for representation fetishization is so blatantly a call to avoid consensual visibility and it’s obnoxious

The sexual nausea associated with all these monster-women helps explain why so many real women have for so long expressed loathing of (or at least anxiety about) their own, inexorably female bodies. The “killing” of oneself into an art object – the pruning and preening, the mirror madness, and concern with odors and aging, with hair which is invariably too curly or too lank, with bodies too thin or too thick – all this testifies to the efforts women have expended not just trying to be angels but trying not to become female monsters.

if your brand of feminism is that oppressive institutions can stay in place as long as a woman is in charge regardless of the less privileged women she exploits… maybe like try harder
