Ok can everyone talking about how badly female characters in malevolent are treated shut up and think about the rest of the side characters for a second?

I get it, the female characters don’t get a lot of screen time, and they hardly ever speak, and most of them are evil, and they’re only ever viewed through the lens of how they effect Arthur. I get that thats not good for representation. I get it, alright? But think about this for a second.

Bella didn’t get seen other than when it was her effect on a man. That’s bad. We don’t like that. But what we don’t talk about is that Parker gets the exact same treatment in podcast, it’s just that he gets talked about more in the fandom because Arthur talks about him more than Bella because, comparatively, he was simply closer to Arthur than Bella was.

Marie and the Wraith from episode 4 and the Witch all deserve better. Yes they do. They deserve happy lives and their motivations were justified. Oscar did too. So did Daniel. So did the Butcher and Noel and Kellin and literally every character other than Arthur and John who only got an episode of screen time and then died. I get that those female characters deserved better, but if I’m being honest, they get treated with exactly as much dignity as the male characters do if not more.

And yes, there are very little girl characters in the podcast; yes this is bad for representation. It’s also a SOLO PROJECT BY A MAN. WHO CANNOT VOICE WOMEN VERY WELL. BECAUSE HES A MAN. And he should have the right to keep it a solo project and put whatever characters he wants in there because ITS HIS.

Yes, the men do get more screen time. Yes, the women are overlooked a lot. But there was a guy who was on for a total of like 12 minutes and no one remembers him. His name was Eddie, and he was Arthur’s second kill. He was the reason John got control of the hand. And no one cares. Because he didn’t make an emotional impact on Arthur. Because the podcast is about Arthur. And most women don’t make an emotional impact on Arthur because he’s never felt the need for an explicitly female companion.

And I need people to just think for a minute about how yes, the women do get overlooked, but guess what? The men do to. And it’s pretty much equal.

[arthur-lesters-optic-nerve]

Malevolent would be 10x funnier if Arthur kept getting his ass whopped in every fight because John doesn't know the difference between left and right refuses to admit that

[arthur-lesters-optic-nerve]

I didn't draw it if its not Arthur's side profile haha

Wanted to share a WIP~

Oh Orthur... the employees at this Waffle House seem to be brawling. It's escalating rapidly. One has slammed the other back-first into the counter repeatedly. Orthur! Ask if you can get a waffle! Now!!!
