#I smell misogyny

[sarafangirlart]

Hephaestus defends Hera from Zeus’s abuse a couple of times, and Hera praises him in the Iliad and Dialogues of the gods, So I don’t really understand ppl writing them like they hate each other. Yes Hera is a terrible mom, yes their relationship is a mess but I don’t think they outright hate each other, it’s more complicated (and interesting) than that.

cw: misogyny, toxic fans

im not caught up with MHA so no explicit spoilers but apparently deku and uraraka didn't canonically end up together and now dudebros are being absolutely disgusting towards uraraka. And im not surprised, they've only ever seen her as an object after all. They switched on her the second she stopped being a prize, moving onto the next girl they find hot (even if it makes zero sense)

I dont recommend going into the replies of any of them, it's full of sexism. They literally cannot fathom that a crush storyline could be used for anything other than being the mc's prize. The fact is that uraraka's crush was used as a foundation for her to relate to and connect with Toga. Whether or not she ended up with Deku is irrelevant. Her growth depended on her relationship with another girl--not the protagonist-- and they can't stand that.

I’ve been getting into The Bear, but I’ve been noticing something online that’s been bothering me—how people talk about Molly Gordon. I genuinely don’t care what you think about Claire’s character, nothing gives you the right to be awful towards a woman you don’t know. Molly Gordon is an incredibly talented actress and Claire is an entire character, no matter what you think of her. Some of y’all are simply jealous that a pretty woman actually interacts with your white boy of the month and it SHOWS

the villains fandom needs to put some respect on angie knight, she is CANNONLY the love of victor’s life and i think that deserves more recognition

If I see any more J*mmy Mouthwashing sympathy, apologism, or fans on my TL... I'll go crazy

No one will ever get the thought out of my head that most (not all) people who use the term "Mary Sue" to refer to a female character they hate are a bunch of misogynistic imbeciles. The male version of this term (Gary Stu) is rarely used. Who knows why. 🙄

[springtrappd]

oh boy I wonder why this masc character has a huge fanbase compared to a woman with the exact same deal that he's intended as a parallel for. I wonder why people obsess over and extend sympathy towards the man over the woman. I wonder why she's either commonly hated or objectified. I wonder why people are willing to obsessively analyse and elaborate upon what little content there is of these male characters while dismissing the woman with the exact same deal as inherently boring and unworthy of deeper thought. I fucking wonder why

'Women are abusers and rapists too, to some extent/percent, we just don't know what exactly' I'd be careful to spread around this info without having any legitimate sources to back it up

[imjusthereforashorttime]

I'm really struggling not to lose my patience with articles on AI art and/or writing, arguing that AI somehow levels the playing field for people who wouldn't otherwise be able to make art.

As if creative people don't continually work on and improve their craft. Like it's just some inate quality bestoyed upon people.

Not something that can be worked on. That can grow. Improve.

In my time in fandom, I've been awed by the progress of creative people over the years. I love seeing people’s skills grow and develop.

And yet, there seems to be a group of people who view that hard work with contempt. Envy.

Like it's inherently unfair that some people can do things they can't and don't want to work towards.

And I get it. I see amazing art and wish I could be that talented. I wish my pencil would render characters as I see them in my head. I look at my fumbling attempts at fanart and feel despondent when I look at incredibly accomplished artists.

But then I look at my art from last week, last month. Last year. And I see improvement. I see progress. And perhaps I'm not where I want to be but I'm doing better. Because I worked at it. I learned and grew.

It's the same with my writing. I re-read fics I wrote a few years ago when I started writing again and I see all the flaws. The clumsy phrases and awkward turn of phrase. And yet, if I hadn't written those messy fics, I would never had made progress and improved. And I'm absolutely sure I'll re-read what I've written and been satisfied with today and see the room for improvement. I'll cringe. But without the grunt along the way, I wouldn't have grown.

I'll never be an athlete. Or even what is considered fit. I've been chronically ill my entire life. Perhaps that's the difference. The perspective that many of these AI proponents don't have? I've never seen the ability to compete physically with others as something I could ever achieve and there was no reasonable way to level that playing field (and there still isn't) but this commodification of creative pursuits, this implication that it's something people deserve without having to at the very least try really, really gets my back up.

this is so. fucking stupid

Sorry but Le'garde as Clear Sky fucks so much

A pale grey cat in the catacombs with a single minded determination for godhood no matter the cost. And it would be commendable if he also wasn't a war criminal and a huge dick about it.

Clear Sky just going into the Eldritch horror hole to become a god is just so in character, trying to become the god of the "Open Sky" Vast from TMA style, or maybe the God of the Clans, since he embodies the clans pretty well, single minded determination and bravery while also being a complete asshole.

Also it sorta works out but not really, which is also very Clear Sky to me

oh man that DOES fuck really hard. also ties the themes of F&H and BB!DOTC really damn well

we're just making a warrior cats funger AU now. and i am 10000% on board

hello karin uzumaki hater. in front of you is a pen and 100 page notebook. since you are particularly good at spotting instances of sexual assault in the naruto manga, i have no doubt you will be able to fill this notebook with all the instances in which both orochimaru and jiraiya have been sexually abussive or at least implied to be. you have 2 hours. if you dont, the floor will open up and you will be eaten by a shark. good luck.

some ppl r so mean to sarah and love jareth as if they dont act the same at the start of the movie. whats worse a teenager acting like a teenager or a middle aged man acting like a teenager.

[meowyoi]
