My dear followers, if you love my yuri dangdut, I kindly ask you to focus your support on transpuan folks that have been victimized during this wave of queer violence in Indonesia. As well as other queer folks that were targeted to a beating, death threats, and other harrassment
Up this by quoting since rt function probably won't show on my main tab, it become more and more scary by each day :(
Stop violence towards queers in Indonesia!!! Oomfs help spread this!!
"Gak semua lelaki straight itu pelaku kekerasan! jangan apa apa lu benci laki laki"
Ya harusnya nalar itu juga di pake ke LGBTQ+, gara gara generalisasi cishet homophobic kayak lo ada orang yang hidupnya terganggu padahal dia gak ganggu
my hot take: it's impossible to judge the overall quality of somebody's writing from a single sentence and everybody dunking on ~bad tumblr writing~ based on teeny tiny snippets of prose are being mean for no reason
Kalau ada orang homophobia jangan disumpahin di masa depan anaknya LGBTQ+ biar "tau rasa" ya teman-teman, itu bukan kutukan. Gaada anak-anak yang deserve lahir dari orang tua pembenci dan suka mendiskriminasi.
I think there's always place for criticism on this certain aspect but in the end I mostly think it's just sort of a sacrifice from having a page quota and having to cram some long exposition/explanation to 1-2 pages so the entire chapter aren't just full of talking.
Perfect embodiment of the reason why 'too much text' rubs me the wrong way. This is important. The criticism already reads as simply being turned off at seeing a certain amount of words. Context and content becomes secondary, even irrelevant because you simply don't want to read.
I want to show pictures of Carls Bark Uncle Scrooge where it do a great example of exposition with background visual gag to make the reader glued more. Unfortunately my copy is in another town rn.

hi guys, please take ur time to read this.
not too long ago, the president of Indonesia release a statement naming LGBTQIA+ "agenda" as a non-military threat to the nation. in result, queer people in my country are being witch hunted. anarchist cishet men in my country created an organization called "boti hunter" (boti=bottom/twinks) for each city. yesterday they made a move and flex it on social media targetting trans women at night who were working to make ends meet. they brought bottles of alcoholic drinks and smashing it around them, and it resulted around 15 trans women getting beaten, kicked, and doused with urine.
they have been threatening queer people on social media by doxxing and cyber-bullying them with threats, as far as death and rape. there are screenshots of cishet men encouraging their fellows saying "let's beat up lesbians and strip them naked so they can go back to normal".
as you know, i identify myself as a fem-leaning queer (closeted irl) and i have been actively using social media to retaliate against violence targetting marginalized people and i also make my time to speak about political crisis happening in my country. but, as far as my bravery can go, i'm starting to feel terrified, many of us queers don't even feel safe in our social media, which is our only safe space for so long. the government is oppressing us, this is a call for help!!! we really can't do anything to change this situation unless the world listen to us.
