Fandom ppl are annoying af when they can’t think critically or separate fiction from reality and when they derail serious conversations with blorbo from their shows bullshit. But equally annoying is this new trend of people on here who act they’re so above it all. Like I just saw a post on here that said good media should make you stare at a wall for two hours afterward not write coffee shop AUs or whatever, like okay buddy sorry you don’t consume anything that brings you joy. That mentality is equally as untenable as sinking your entire life into dumb fandom bullshit. You can absorb challenging media as well as watch a dumb show that’s just fun, it’s not a zero sum game.

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.
This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
