"we Need Weirder Queers" Yall Can't Even Handle When A Gay Trans Man Living In A Country That Doesn't

"we need weirder queers" yall can't even handle when a gay trans man living in a country that doesn't support his existence makes a silly little comic about his fantasies because it's "unrealistic" and "sexualizes gay men"

I'd actually kill to talk to an anti who puts like, actual effort into defending their stance. Idk why so many of them can't bother to put even a single academic source down. Like, I at least expect to see mistranslated ones but nope.

Zilch.

Please. I want a good, informative conversation that leads to both of us walking away, deep in thought.

A while back I managed to find the mini Lalaloopsy Pet Pals, which were some of my longtime toy grails. I got them loose without their original accessories, and I'm not 100% sure but these might've been factory samples?

My full mini Lalaloopsy collection had been in storage for a while now. Sadly I never had the space to display them, especially given the unwieldy size of my collection in general.

By some miracle I managed to hold on to all their pets and accessories, plus some dolls still semi-mint in the original plastic trays.

There are a few "holy grail" minis I never got my hands on that I'm still looking for to this day. (I think mini Storm E. Sky was from the reboot? ) For some reason series 15 onward (including the music, fast food, and bug-themed minis) were never available in my country, so I have whole waves I need too.

I'm resigned to Scraps Stitched 'n' Sewn and Holly Sleighbells possibly costing a small fortune online. I'm not really a stickler for dolls being mint in package, as long as all their accessories are complete. I wish older toys were easier to find in my country.
