Went outside my fandom bubble and saw people being cancelled for shipping two characters who tried to kill each other once damn is this the limit nowadays

Trying to kill each other is a reason to START shipping characters

OTW’s Elections Committee makes a statement on the recent harassment of an OTW Board Candidate.  Read more at https://otw.news/fa6c6b

Respectfully, I would like a bit of clarification on what you mean by “harassment”. Are you referring to people suicide-baiting and sending threatening DMs (which is uncalled for and inappropriate) or people using publicly available information about this candidate’s party affiliation, views, and activity to inform potential voters that her values may not align with their own (a normal and expect part of any democratic process)? If you are positioning the latter as the equivalent of the former, then I am very concerned. It may seem a bit harsh for people to make posts about her Republican party affiliation making her someone that a lot of us would rather not vote for, but considering the current political climate, many of us feel that this is relevant information.

I think that it is also important to note that a registered member of the GOP running for an elected office on the board of a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving transformative works (many of them created by, for, and about queer people) in the midst of a GOP-led crackdown on LGBTQ rights is genuinely terrifying to a healthy chunk of your user base. Even if this candidate has stated that she does not align with her colleagues with regards to these issues, she has not been elected and has no voting record to work from to get a clearer picture of how and how much she dissents. With our rights crumbling around us in real time at the behest of some of her colleagues, we are not comfortable trusting her words if they have not yet been backed up by actions.

anyway normalize women not wanting children as a happy ending

its NOT a happy ending, for a majority of women. Having kids, especially for women, is an intrinsic biological desire. If you are a person who genuinely has no desire for kids or god forbid dislikes kids, that is an anomaly - you might have some trauma or mental/emotional hangups that you have to work out of, or you could be autistic or some other thing. But Its not normal to not want kids. Living childless does and will make women miserable. Dying without kids in, in fact, a bad ending for the vast majority of women.

there is something so deeply wrong with you baby girl

Thinking about Sparta again. And how everyone always focuses on the wrong things when it comes to Sparta. Like how they weren’t that good at war actually.

The Macedonians: When we get over there we’re gonna take you over

The Spartans: You mean IF you get over here

The Macedonians: *get over there*

The Spartans: We will fight!

The Macedonians: *pushes them over like an angry toddler* Anyways…
