Lily Orchard's Official Tumblr, you realize you reblogged something f…

Honestly this is a sad reflection of scoiety.
"Somebody made a post that I agree with, I'm going to reblog it."
"EXCUSE ME did you know that person has the WRONG POLITICS"
Like the leap to go straight from 'Lily didn't bother vetting a post she reblogged' to 'Lily is a crypto-conservative radfem (?!?)' is insane. She reblogged a post she agreed with (or that agreed with her) since she's trying to make a point about the word 'queer', but because it came from the WRONG SORT she isn't allowed to keep it posted without accusations that she agrees with all of the politics of the original poster.
The saddest part is that Lily -- for all her posturing and big talk -- immediately caves when lefties tell her she reblogged from a conservative. She doesn't even defend herself by saying "I happen to agree with that particular post even if the person is (inevitable mess of slurs)", it's just immediate delete and disavow. Wild that she doesn't reconsider her truly toxic takes when people call her out on them, but reblogging a conservative? Unconscionable.
'Self-identity is the only thing that matters'
'Unless I don't like you'
She's also in a book-pitching mood.
Yeah, see, this is why she'll never get anything real off the ground.
The first one is at least an actionable concept (if extremely niche and reliant on trans fetishization to work the way Lily obviously wants it to) and the second isn't even a real idea. I'm reminded of All or Nothing, the Tumblr webcomic proposal that began and ended with "What if a pansexual and asexual were ROOMIES?"
Like yeah, that, uh... that's a thing that can happen, I don't see how that makes them any different from any two other people being roomies. 'Oh but their personalities are also oppo' yeah that has nothing to do with who they do or do not want to bang, you should've led with that.
Lily's definitely the sort of person who thinks sexuality is a replacement for personality. 'Two ace people adopt a child' is no different from the premise 'two people adopt a child' except you're ticking off a box that exotifies asexuality. Her actual proposed punchline is 'and they sleep in separate rooms and don't have sex' like that's a wild concept. Like can you imagine two adults in the same house NOT fucking? That's hilarious!
