This is dumb as hell. This is the nuance we’re all talking about needing all the time. The reasonable, probably correct position is “tumblr likely employs people that are openly or closeted TERFs, knowingly or not,” and the conspiracy thinking version of that is “tumblr is secretly run by a ring of terfs who are buddy buddy with all the fascist blogs that keep ban-evading.”
It’s the difference between knowing that there are fascist and p*dophile politicians that use their power to get away with being evil, and thinking that it’s a big secret club that do all of this stuff together outside of the public eye
I remember being in highschool watching Supernatural and seeing all the imagery of Sam Winchester with snakes and demon blood despite being the “Good brother who eats healthy and makes normal life choices and thinks about ethics and morality”
And of Dean Winchester’s association with angels and self-sacrifice despite being the “Simple brother who likes porn and strippers and pie and doesn’t mind killing”
And I kept thinking that with all the violent escalation against both heaven and hell that it would be so poetic and inevitable for them to defeat both God and the Devil only to realize that the natural order exists for a reason, and that someone has to fill those roles,
And I thought it was so inevitable that Sam, the good and righteous one with dark impulses would resign himself to ruling Hell while Dean, the brash and violent one so anxious to know that he might be good would rule Heaven, and neither would die but instead remain diametrically opposed yet tied together in eternity in undeath just as they were in life, a master of heaven and a master of hell maintaining the balance of life and death as brothers, equals and opposites
And that seemed like such a foreshadowed and bygone conclusion that I was certain that it was what the writers had planned
