My Feminism Is Radically Inclusive

Two days ago I posted a Peach/Bowser commission to Tumblr (and it's really cute). It got a few dozen notes, which is nice, but in less than 48 hours it's reached the point at which the note count is now falling, and the hit count for the piece on AO3 it's meant to illustrate did not rise at all. In other words, it's a small niche thing that makes no one but me happy, and that's okay, because I am very happy.

Yesterday afternoon I got a series of messages from a prominent femslash artist in the Zelda fandom who wanted to let me know, in no uncertain terms, that I can't call myself a radical feminist if I promote "abusive m/f ships." Because I work ten hours a day and don't have time for this sort of nonsense, I didn't respond to her, but what I wanted to say is that I don't identify as a radical feminist. And this is weird, because my politics are fairly radical...

• Capital punishment needs to be abolished immediately.
• Local police forces need to be demilitarized immediately.
• The sale of marijuana needs to be decriminalized immediately.
• The prison system needs to be deprivatized immediately.
• All political prisoners need to be released immediately.
• Undergraduate student loans need to be forgiven immediately.
• American subsidies to the Israeli military need to cease immediately.

I also have radical views concerning dismantling the prison system entirely, naturalizing immigrants, setting up better infrastructures for public transportation and solar energy, regulating the lobbies surrounding the food industry, and establishing protections for queer, transgender, and nonbinary people.

When it comes to who ships what, though, holy fuck do I ever not give a shit.
