#I’ll start biting

[spicyicymeloncat]

Wait actually second reblog but like yknow maybe this can be applied to other stuff about female characters.

Ninjago commits the sin of misogyny by having under developed characters who all have shitty romance plots and are mostly accessories to some dude’s story.

Early Ninjago fandom commits the sin of misogyny by hating characters on the basis of “ew woman”, “oh she’s annoying she gets in the way of gay ship”, “she’s so problematic”*proceeds to fight to the death in support of Worse Guy tm*.

Evolved Ninjago fandom commits the sin of misogyny by continuing to oversimplify characters, basically just sexualises them, ignores any of the complexity or accountability that the characters have, just see them as “stronk waman”, act as if they never were problematic and instead always were that ideal mother/lover/whatever stereotype that they were criticised for not being (so still reinforcing the idea that a woman needs to be a good mother/etc to be a good character).

Generally it’s important to incorporate depth into a character and especially with women allow them to make the same mistakes as men, to grow in the same way as men etc. like honestly we don’t need to write genders differently in most cases unless gender is a real focus. Like generally, if you genderswapped a character and feel like you’d have a different character or a different opinion on that character, then you might have a problem.

I'm glad that the ninjago fandom seems to be reevaluating their opinions of Misako and her choices as a parent, but I kinda hope we don't do a 180 and start talking about her like she was always a perfect mother either. The core issue with the way ninjago fandom treated Misako was not just that they hated her in disproportionate and hypocritical ways in comparison to male characters, but that they judged her along the sexist expectation that female characters must be Perfect Moral Beings, and specifically Perfect Mothers, in order to be worth caring about. I think acknowledging her imperfect approach to raising Lloyd and how that affects their relationship without demonizing her for it, is much more respectful to her character than it is to pretend like she always made the best choices and that her and lloyd have no complicated feelings between them.

a lot of people act like sqq’s main character trait is obliviousness and i could not disagree more

“You can ship Neris as long as you know it won’t be canon/know Nesta hates him/don’t hate on Cassian”

Hey just wondering where Neris shippers should be submitting their posts for your approval to make sure they’re shipping in a way y’all are comfortable with 😃❤️

I really and genuinely don’t care about what the Witcher games did with different characters. The Netflix show is not adapting the game.

I’m not even a big fan of Radovid in the tv show, don’t hate him but just don’t feel compelled, but the fact that half of the discussion around him relates to what he’s like in a different adaptation is exhausting. Glad you guys liked the games but I don’t care what he did in those!!

can't stop thinkign about chilchuck being extra sensitive in general since half-foots have heightened senses and all... he'd be so embarrassed about it with someone who's not a half-foot... <3 <- sorry am i allowed to send this. i want that man too so badly

this is perfect actually, you’re so right. i’ll bet his ears are extremely sensitive too, whisper a little and rub them gently and then you’ve got him whimpering in no time

Hey you know what actually. As a Louie apologist I’m gonna come out and say that if you’re also a fellow Louie apologist but you hate Olimar’s wife that’s the cringe fandom misogyny within you winning. Don’t let it win!!! Nothing she does in the potential alternate timeline of Pikmin 2 is remotely as bad as what Louie does canonically in every game he is in!!! We can be better than this I prommy

not to be a hag but I see sooo many young ppl at concerts now who film the entire time and that’s one thing. but it almost annoys me more when ppl do shit like facetime someone, play subway surfer, etc. while holding their phones up as a joke/for attention (and yeah tbh I’d put the filming on a DS ppl in this bucket a bit too). like guys it was kind of funny the first time but in the end w everyone filming no one can seeeee and u also can’t seeeee except through ur phone after :( why don’t we all enjoy music together :((

unironically ruined my sleep schedule for the next week in favor of finishing this

(i will update this w/ different names… but for context the numbers next to each character is their placements left to right in the original lineup. i’m still waiting to see which names stick, since i’ve seen a few different ideas! for anyone confused about the change, drdtdev has basically said that having numbers as names now could easily become confusing with the character’s actual names. if you’re still confused, id check on on their tumblr/twt!!)
