Hey there! It's Saturday, which means it's a nice day to relax and support a trans artist! My name is Rita and I love to design characters and draw fantasy art. I hope that you'll check out my patreon for lots more fun stuff.

i am not being needlessly alarmist when i say that popular feminism has become extremely radfem-esque and that the normalisation of negative stereotypes towards men needs to be resisted. like. i clearly remember when feminists were derided as "man-hating feminazis" and the main counter-argument to that went something like "we don't hate men, feminism is for everyone, patriarchy harms men too and our goal is to dismantle that oppressive system, this will benefit everyone including men, men can and should be feminists because feminism is a movement for gender equality"

in fact the major rebuttal to men forming "men's rights" movements was always that the issues these groups identified were the negative impacts of the patriarchy on men. they didn't need a separate group because feminism was for everyone and feminist thought and theorising already accounted for the ways patriarchy harms men. which is true! many of the societal issues faced by men stem from white supremacist patriarchy and restrictive gender roles and traditionally feminism has given thought and time to those issues. feminism is for everyone and it is concerned with men's struggles under patriarchy alongside women's.

but somewhere in the last few decades that attitude fell by the wayside and now popular online feminism is this radfem-flavored "all men are bad forever" thing. now mocking, belittling, or hating men is #feminist #praxis. it's feminist to make jokes about #killallmen. it's feminist to view masculinity as inherently bad and dangerous. it's feminist to talk about the men in your life like they're animals who need to be house trained, or emotionally stunted children who need to be babied and distracted.

it's this idea of flipping patriarchy on its head and saying that actually women are the Superior Gender, women deserve to run the world and make all the decisions, and actually it's men who are the Inferior Gender who can't be trusted or left unsupervised.

these attitudes will always have the most severe negative impact on marginalised men. i don't know how we got here but it's past time we circled back around to "feminism is for everyone".

Sorry I was dreaming of a world where trannies don't have to be inspired creatives or kinky sex bombs or skilled programmers or funny shit posters or successful women in STEM or perfectly passing or (often unwilling) voices for their whole community or perfect saints to get some God damn love and respect from people who aren't also trannies.

I hope one day we can all just be some chick.

Big ol' art from last week. My friend, @quandereOC, 's OC Severine. I love her design so much I could draw a comic with her in it ANY day of the week.

Ulla Stormseeker

The main character that I seem to be focusing on lately. My goal for the end of the year is to have enough illustrations done for her and a few other OCs to just…release an art book. Even if it's only digital or a little thing, I think it'd be fun to make.

there basically isn't a single established action archetype that you can't improve tenfold by making it a girl

New character ideas for a D&D character. So, I thought I'd share it on my Patreon! Come on and check it out.
