George Buzinkai passed away yesterday. Buzinkai was a member of the Homestuck Music Team, and scored several animations with songs like Explore

Showtime

Endless Climb

And, most importantly, Doctor, the most popular and remixed track in Homestuck, and the unofficial theme of the series

Buzinkai was one of the most important people to Homestuck’s success, right up there with Toby Fox and Hussie himself. He had been working on a video game

His music can be found here

Rest in Piece, George

hey people!

i’ve seen a lot of people (including me) make the mistake of assuming buzinkai was a man, so let it be known that all of this iconic homestuck music was in fact made by a trans woman. rest in peace.

The whole Pepsi commercial thing reminded me that people always mis-remember the famous flower in the gun barrel photo as being a young woman. It wasn’t. The photo, taken by Bernie Boston, is of George Edgerly Harris III better known by his stage name Hibiscus. He was a member of the San Francisco based radical gay liberation theater troupe the Cockettes. He died of AIDS in 1982 at the time AIDS was still referred to by the name GRID which stood for Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency. The photo was taken at a protest at the Pentagon. 

I had no idea who he was, thank you.

This is one example of the Mandela Effect phenomena, where an iconic moment is reenacted with a hippy woman so many times that people think that’s the story and thus another gay man is written out of history. Thanks for the photo.

I had no idea. Wow.

This photo was taken by Bernie Boston, a black/native man who willingly stood up to a chapter of the KKK and earned their respect among other things

I get the subject is important, but please dont erase Bernie. I knew him personally and he deserves to be remembered and by only remembering the subject, a white man, you erase a black man.

@vaspider could you reblog this version too, please? I am deeply upset by Bernie’s erasure from his own work.

Reblogging for credit to the photographer, and so I can look up his work on desktop later.

Reasons why I dislike yaoi fangirls

  • “Let my gays marry!!!”
  • They like to play the homophobic card every time someone says they don’t like a certain yaoi pairing.
  • Usually straight and phobic of other sexualities
  • They like to use the “good ally” card just because they like watching two anime guys do the do and talk about how hot it is.
  • “When I have kids, I hope I have a boy and I hope he is gay so I can ship him with other boys and fangirl over his relationships!!!”
  • “I ship my boyfriend with his best friend!!!”
  • Extremely disrespectful about female characters because they “get in the way of the yaoi”
  • Seemingly ignores the fact that a big majority of anime and manga that fall under the yaoi genre revolve around rape and sexual harassment… but one man saying “no” while the other continues is extremely hot so it’s ok apparently….
  • That whole thing when gay marriage became legal in the US, tons of fangirls were screaming about how their fictional gay guys could finally marry.
  • They like to invalidate trans/nonbinary characters and automatically making them male just for the sake of yaoi ships.
  • To sum it up, a majority of yaoi fangirls sexualize an entire sexuality and, by doing so, disrespect irl gay men and see them only as fanservice fodder and then turn around and act like they are the best allies ever.
  • Literally the female equivalent of dudebros that watch lesbian porn
  • “I wish I was a boy so I could be in a gay romance”
  • Those jokes about how if they see two actual gay men in real life, they want to watch them make out. 
  • Have a habit of invalidating trans men and not seeing them as actual men. 
  • seme/uke stereotypes
  • Quite a few are apparently those “I am not like other girls” types
  • Anything that involves two gay men is automatically called “yaoi”
  • “Stop kinkshaming us” 
  • “Oh my gosh I am watching an anime with two guys kissing I am so dirty!”
  • Overall have a very unrealistic view of gay men

@ the people who tried to tell me fujoshis r ok

“i wish i was a boy so i could be gay!!!” you and your shit fetish is ruining the already horrible lives of gay trans men. hope yall rot.

Lmao and he won an award for being LGBT friendly

news sources look at things like “Jeff Bezos gave anti-lgbt politician 10k” and will write up their articles with a title like this 

“SICK BURN FROM JEFF BEZOS, AMAZON KING, GIVES ANTI-LGBT POLITICIAN A PENNY [10K] FOR HIS THOUGHTS AND DOESN’T EVEN LISTEN TO SAID THOUGHTS”
