Fashion blog
In general, this is not a spoiler free blog. I tag everything obsessively and text usually goes under a cut for a while, but be warned! I use trigger warnings, but for an idea of what this blog contains, check the "warnings" page at the top. Some triggers are sometimes warned for only in tags (to be blocked)- if this is a problem, please proceed at your own risk. If you have a specific trigger that you want to be able to block I can absolutely add a specific tag- please ask!
The tag I use for flashing images is GIFs, if you need to block them. .

Why X-Men: First Class has issues
Disclaimer- as anyone subjected to my blog in the last few weeks knows, I love this film. A potentially awkward amount, to be honest. This isn’t about how it’s terrible in all ways or about how you mustn’t like it.
But there are some really problematic elements to it with regards to sexuality, and race, and gender, and all sorts, and they’ve been bugging me. When that happens I figure the best way for me to deal with them is to write them, so here we are.
Now, I don’t think it’s as simple as X-Men being more problematic than most media, though I guess in a way it is. I think it’s actually more that because X-Men willingly surrounds itself in those elements it shows more.
So. Here we go. Fair warning, this is something like two thousand words long, because I am ridiculous.
