This metaphor falls apart when one asks why these people keep walking on the edges of these cliffs.
They really should have safety rails around them.

They couldn't care less about Tiana as a character, they just care that she's a pee-oh-sea checkbox to tick.

So Tumblr added a sticker thing for its IM system.

To be fair, it IS black history month.

But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of pandering going on too.

What the fuck is that white (snow??) man with the red dot on his crotch? also who uses yellow text on a white background tumblr? what are you, stupid?
It's impossible for Tumblr to comprehend a show with a woman starring to be garbage. There's a lot of reasons tv networks pass on shows, and it's not because they hate women.

Time to revisit a personal favourite of mine: We all know that the word "transsexual" is a slur, because it is. But did you know that the word "homosexual" is a slur too? If not, then you're probably a dirty heterosexual. Back in the early days of history, which all of tumblr remember and lived through, the word "homosexual" was used as the medical term for faggots. So, stop using it.
As for what the rest of that post is about, I've no idea.
"It's not the fact that she wanted the gays to die that was the problem, it was the fact that she kept calling them "homosexuals"."
This blog is run by a bisexual man, a trans gay man, and a "non-binary lesbian". So, the three most apt people who can decide who or what is "homosexual".
I've yet to find someone who claims that "female" is a slur, and insists on typing it "f*m*le", because you get fedoras who refer to women as that. Plus, it's a scientific term.
There must be some out there, though. Probably tr*nss*x**ls.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the "(rubbing my little [speshul group] hands all over [favorite media]) does it upset you" phrase and all its variations before?
Because I do, I really do. It makes me think of dangerhair gender queer special snowflakes pissing in circles like un-fixed dogs to mark something as theirs.

Tumblr actually hates it because Tiana was hardworking. Because god forbid anyone work to get ahead in life and achieve your dreams, especially in a realistically difficult atmosphere.
Though, actually, no one likes Tiana anywhere it seems like. I think it's because she's already doing all the things people want princesses to do (have her own agenda, doing things for herself instead of a man

How is homosexual a slur? Homo means same, so how does homosexual=/=gay? Just because your aunt used the word in a negative way doesn't mean the meaning has changed. It just means she's a bitch.
What a bunch of c*yb*bies.

"Transsexual" is not a slur and I hate that these idiots think that it is. It's simply outdated psychiatric terminology, but apparently using medical terms for a medical condition (i.e. being transsexual/transgender) makes you transphobic. Because of this, transsexual has made an upsurge in popularity among truscum/transmedicalists.
Gay and homosexual are synonyms, but of course, tumblr's "gender is a ~social construct~ and the gender binary is fake!" crowd had to intersect with the "gay can mean homoromantic asexual! Or homosexual aromantic! Maybe even heterosexual homoromantic!" crowd. So, gay =/= homosexual, but homosexual = gay...

They most often reference the psychiatric abuse (yes, I know HuffPo is not the greatest source, but the ONE Archives Foundation is the oldest active LGBT organization in the United States) and state-sanctioned persecution of LGBT people in the 1940s and the 1950s. GLAAD has this to say: "because of the clinical history of the word "homosexual," it is aggressively used by anti-gay extremists to suggest that gay people are somehow diseased or psychologically/emotionally disordered – notions discredited by the American Psychiatric/Psychological Associations in the 1970s."

About the word "homosexual," I remember in middle school, some LGBT activists came to our class one day. In regards to what terminology to use, they said that they didn't like the term "homosexual" because it sounded too clinical and somewhat outdated (both of the activists were gay). Even if you disagree with their reasoning, they didn't sperg about it or argued that it was a slur. Just that they preferred the term "gay." This was back in 2006.
One of them also mentioned that she didn't like the term "queer" because it was was an actual slur against the gays back in the day. Wonder how she would feel about the growing popularity of that term these days.

This is nothing new. They bitched like this over Agent Carter, too, hell they even bitched like this over Young Justice.
Shock and awe, TV networks don't give a shit about progressivism unless it makes them money. Just like the movie industry. And as we have all seen time and time again (i.e. the Ghostbusters debacle), pandering to the SJW community is NOT profitable.
You would think these little shits would understand this concept by now but they're clearly denser than a lead brick.

Yeah, the use of the term "queer" has been kind of a hot-button issue in the community for a while. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions on it - friends who are active in their LGBT+ communities and out use it to describe themselves, other friends don't like seeing it used at all and especially not as a blanket group term because of its negative history and still usage as a slur in many places. The problem is that a lot of these younger kids on tumblr and the like who aren't aware of just how loaded a term it can be (one person I knew was opposed to it because they'd had it used as a slur against them in the past, and they're far from the only one), and try to use it as collective term while ignoring the people who point out "Hey, this can be a sensitive term for some people" or even attacking the people they're supposedly in full support of. Personally, I don't care if people use it as a personal descriptor, but if you use it as a blanket term, you're going to come under fire for it and you just gotta suck that up.
