#ThaTs wOkiSm!!

[papirouge]

some of yall need to calm down with calling "socialism" "leftism" or "wokism" ANYTHING that your remotely dislike

[ilynpilled]

starting my (very much unnecessary) anti lannister regime propaganda campaign in westeros by claiming this is footage of communist king tommen’s they/them army (the kingsguard) ruined by wokism and forced representation (has a gay person, an amputee, and a man thats balding)

Being a new fan of Yu Yu Hakusho and going on the comments of YYH clips and videos is the most funny yet frustrating thing

You got people arguing whether or not Yusuke Vs. Toguro was meant to challenge toxic masculinity (personally i believe it was. If Toguro choosing to harm himself and others, including loved ones, instead of choosing to accept his pain and vulnerability, isnt toxic masculinity, then what is it?)

(Edit 3: and no, you don't have to live in a day & age where "wokism"/"wokeness" is a buzzword to write stories addressing human or societal tendencies. Just because a term like "toxic masculinity" gained popularity only recently doesn't mean that people weren't already aware of these social patterns and tackled them in their work back then. The lack of a coined term doesn't negate the existence or understanding of these issues, being conveyed in stories even earlier - or what, do you mean to tell me that the issues of racism only began once the term "racism" was coined? Sorry to go that route, but hopefully you get my point.)

You got some people saying that the transfem demon proves that trans people are demons (like bro it's a piece of fiction there aren't corporeal demons irl let alone trans ones. Edit: using a piece of fiction as a basis for your argument about real life is wild Edit 2: should clarify, using fictional material portraying certain themes to make certain arguments about life is fine, it's when you disregard any nuance entirely just to fuel your hate towards certain people, thats when it becomes wild)

(Togashi's choice of placing representation where he placed it is something that I want to talk about some time, but not now)

Then you have the out of nowhere comments like "Sensui foresaw feminism rising in the west... he was trying to save us"

Seriously, did we even watch the same anime

And also people giving some names and addresses (are people trying to doxx others??)

Like I get it that YYH is a 90s anime and therefore people more or less have their nostalgia goggles when talking about YYH

But like damn who hurt you

my gender and diversity studies prof is so weird because she seems genuinely incompetent at her job. sometimes she just makes shit up, other times she uses very questionable and partially far-right sources and straight up spreads misinformation.

the first time i was in her class she said that she had gotten a racism allegation last year as a kind of joke about how she sometimes says uncomfortable things? and she made it sound (atleast to me, so i thought that at first) that it was some rightist complaining about "anti-white racism" or whatever and i got kinda excited, but yeah no shes just lowkey racist fr. I see how she got the allegations. (she literally said colored people multiple times. once my friend informed how thats not a good expression to use, she started to be very performative in her word choice)

also im taking this class the second time because her exams are just utter shit. unnecessarily hard, almost like shes insecure about what she teaches and has to make up for it (wink wink)

also also she kinda sees herself as like an oldschool hardcore radfem (though fortunately not the TE kind, afaik), but she keeps telling us that misandry is real. granted, it seems like she just does it to appease the MRA crowd, but i dont know how you can see yourself as a radfem and just say "misandry is real" without going into any kind of elaboration. seems to me like she doesnt really care about us going out of that with a correct understanding of gendered oppression.

so now my friend (who actually couldve been done with her studies if not for this very prof and her stupid exams, and my friend also had to pay like 400€ because of that) is gonna complain to the student representatives. it just feels very funny to be too woke for the wokism-course, which, turns out, wasnt that woke at all

thinking about the will wood interpretation of the wednesday netflix show i havent see the show at all but i believe him with every core of my being

like not to talk out of my ass cuz i litterly have not seen the show and only have seen pictures and fanart but i also saw NO negative posts about it till the will wood one today (not saying theyre arent i just havent seeked out stuff for this show), even my sister recommended it to me. i have a bad habit of disliking popular things that are hyped up on social media even when its a show i like just because like.... sometimes fandom brain rot irks me a little and im definitely hypocritical and cringe just like every other mf on this website.

but also ive seen the adams family movie (i dont think its the OG og but the most popular one) where the camp was to 100%, all the characters were unapologetically weird, political, and goth. not only was it extremely funny camp but had a lot to say for its time, and honestly i think movies like that are becoming rarer and rarer. its so mf boomer of me to say it but with how politics are now and we (at least speaking as an American) have succumbed to the idea that corporations hold more power than the average person in politics, we also hold companies to higher degree of pr and well..... 'wokeness' and inclusion. and like dont get me wrong its so nice to not watch movies and shows with random blatant racism / racism stereotypes for no reason and theres been great shows made in recent times.... but its also like.... companies are becoming more scared to do anything wrong or bold. to be political in any manner, to make a bold statement in any manner because they arent JUST appealing to 'left wokism' (sorry idk how to decribe it better) but to the most people in a nice friendly family friendly manner. (like.... im trying to communicate the idea of lemon demons redesign ur logo like... THAT. they are appealing to everyone)

so long story short i believe will wood's review with a burning fucking passion because thats how a lot of media is turning out, especially by repurposed IPs which is a whole nother fucking annoying thing. smaller rant that intertwines, but its just like television, merch, fandom, etc etc are scared of letting something die or letting something be, both companies who search to milk every last cent..... and fandom people looking to psycho analyize every character into cardboard cut out stereotype or their personal barbie dolls to use to draw gay art and writing long paragraphs about some new netflix merged IP is so 'saphic/gay coded' etc etc its gets so fucking annoying. can we have a normal conversation about a show please like adults.

tdlr can we not spend 20 million years destroying the meaning of somethings original message, both on the sides of repurposed ips AND fandom brain rot, to make something entirely new squeky clean and gay teen romance replaying the same scene of first love over snd over again THIS ISNT ART

[yeahiwasintheshit]

bill maher is NOT a phony. he is a grade A, 100% asshole. thats always been who he is. he also lost his fucking mind when college aged kids didnt care what he had to say anymore. hes just old bastard. an old bastard who rails about millenials and gen z, as if someone in their 20s and 30s would care what an old comedian in his 60s thinks. he believes everything he says is the unvarnished truth. full stop. which makes him completely insufferable. but a phony? no, hes genuinely a prick. which makes siding with him harder as he slides further into anti-wokism/libertarianism/whatever the fuck hes talking about. but to be fair, hes always been right about trump.

Anon, im sorry you sent this to someone who pretend to live in the postmodern abstract world n just typed several words that together essentialy means nothing.

So anon unless 'trans men' pass really well as men, they do experience misogyny cause real world out there its based on, you know, reality, factual material reality.

I could identify as a man but i would still be in danger of being sexually assaulted walking alone at night, i would still be paid less than a male for doing the same thing etc.

I cant believe that in the name of wokism and trans activism some people are really "hmmm how oppressor class (males, straight) know whom to oppress? ... oh yeah they ask the pronouns before or read minds thats how they know if the people they are about to beat, rape, discriminate against its really (identifies uwu) a woman/gay (homosexual SAME SEX) couple.

Not a single one out of thousands types of sexist discrimation females face happens because the oppressor (in this case male people) somehow can read minds of both males and females and only then is misogynistic towards those they miraculously read the thought "i identify as a woman/girl".

Its because they have eyes and can literally see whos one of them (male) or one they deem inferior (female). Misogyny is sex based oppression. I can't believe this needs to be explained be here we are.

Its absurd but here we are having to explain why 2+2 equal 4.

do trans men experience misogyny?

I’m not sure if this is a great framing of the issue--this approach always seems to base its definition of “misogyny” off of what cis women “experience” (plus framing it in terms of “experience” seems individualistic to me--of course individual experiences, matter but we should be using them to advance our understanding of how patriarchy actually operates). but conceptualising (implied: white) cishet “womanhood” and “manhood” as the baseline of how patriarchy works, rather than as two artificially imposed & complexly mediated categories or concatenations of likely/possible experiences among many, & then considering trans experiences insofar as they converge with or diverge from those experiences... doesn’t seem helpful to me. it’s one of those arguments that just goes around and around without getting anywhere
