Seeing people only use "but some asexuals have sex!!!" and "some aromantics are in romantic relationships!!!" so they can sexualize & ship the little representation we get makes me hope someone explicitly establishes a popular character as sex-repulsed so we can see the shippers get cooked online for it
#i'm not even complaining if someone specifically writes an asexual character as a sex-favorable ace#or puts the aros in qprs or writes a romantic relationship exploring how a character who doesn't experience romantic attraction navigates i#but if all you do is discard their asexuality & use the existence of sex-favorable and romance-favorable aces as a gotcha#to hide the fact that you're just portraying this character as allo anyway#we all know what you're doing#asexual#asexuality#aromantic#aro#ace#aroace#sex repulsed

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how “ugly” or “pretty” they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered “ugly”#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

I’m very confused by the idea that Book 1 Zuko has “dark and sexy” energy tbh.
I’m speaking as an unapologetic Zuko simp btw.
But honestly if you’re above the age of like, 12, and think Book 1 Zuko is dark and intimidating…I’m embarrassed for you. He acts like an overgrown toddler throwing a tantrum and that’s the point. He’s supposed to come off as spoiled and childish. Very unsexy.
And it’s important to the beginning of his character arc too. Book 1 Zuko is naïve, brainwashed by the ideals he was raised with, and has no outlet for his trauma because the idea of what he experienced being abuse is forbidden to him. Questioning the way he was treated by Ozai is treason in his mind. He’s all bark and no bite, angry but doesn’t know what to do with himself, unaware of the realities of the war, and so very young and inexperienced. It’s a brilliant foundation for his character and the man he grows into.
#and like#ive seen some 🥵 gifsets of dallas liu#but i honestly didn’t find him attractive on screen as Zuko#because he very effectively portrayed Zuko in this childish rage kinda persona#and personally i find ‘teen having tantrum’ to be a turn off#so anyways stop accusing Zutara shippers of this#natla#atla#zuko#zutara

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.
#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly#female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE?????#theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri#patalliro#i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen#you blushed - so you must not be a girl#etc#i also love how joyful it all is#theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc#when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing#he awakens to his true power...lol#also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is 18#this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal; not a phase relegated to nostalgic adolescent periods of time#according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995#im NOT going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily#even raise children together in the manga....???#especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended)#yaoi#<- for tagging purposes#obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still!#months later edit: want to say im not intending to moralize BL manga from the 2000s either. like gen. no hate on them.#as a gay person i just appreciate when characters who act gay are considered gay textually#and its kind of disheartening how gay-as-identity was treated as something incredulous in those manga a lot of the time#even the mere suggestion of attraction to men as a whole and not just the other male lead...yknow#this post is meant to praise patalliro for being unique in its approach to gay content compared to other titles#ive enjoyed plenty of 2000s yaoi titles despite their shortcomings lol#joseiposting#shoujo

i just…. still cannot believe that they had frank quote oscar wilde and wear purple and have a whole arc surrounding closeted gay men and expected me not to notice!!!
#frank castle#the punisher#the punisher s2#(like i understand that billy reading the picture of dorian gray was bc ben barnes plays him in the movie)#(and the themes of beauty + morality + social class that r within it)#(but they could have used stardust just as easily for love + loyalty and a fourth wall break for BB and charlie cox!)#(i just think it’s an interesting choice considering how these r not the only instances of queercoding but the biggest that come to mind)#(oscar wilde’s works are undeniably gay and frank chooses to quote him to billy who he calls pretty later on)#(and the purple shirt specifically with micro is another choice because of how their relationship is portrayed in the comics)#(and comics!frank has such gay behavior it makes u wonder if he ((not ncmu)) was in a lavender marriage)#(i really cannot understate the amount of queercoding and subtext surrounding frank and his clear attraction to men)#(there is very much a deliberate choice with the storylines frank has involving gay men and punisher 2004 did it too)#(and i understand why people assume homophobia based on his character at a quick glance but the source material is soooo gay)#(anyways rant over)#subtext#comics inspired#punisher 2017#punisher 2004

playing The Arcana as anyone but Danny (like... myself for instance) kind of takes me out of it because it's like "yeah no six different people would absolutely not be throwing themselves at ONE person who most of them JUST met" but when I look at Danny it's like no i get it i see how people would be throwing themselves at him
#apprentice danny#i love it when people simp for him because its just like no same. no comment#or... i guess five people and Muriel. Muriel is absolutely not throwing himself at him 😭#'didnt you just battle fetishization allegations and now youre posting this' listen attraction is not even remotely#the same as fetishizing something#and its important to me to portray a trans man as desirable bc in this show my mom was watching the protag went on a date#and learned the man she was on a date with was trans. HAD A GREAT TIME PRIOR. acted like he was disgusting when she learned#like....... no we arent disgusting wtf

#idk how to say it except i'd be the kind of fictional character everyone erroneously writes as either a woobie or Jughead from Riverdale#and also thinks is dreamy for some reason despite not being canonically portrayed as that attractive#sadia is completely right about themself ofc

I get what you're saying, but you're also reaching a weird fine line situation by implying that disabled people can't be portrayed with big penises.
I fully agree it’s a fine line, and I’m not saying it’s wrong to portray him as such. I’ve portrayed him w a big dick in some of my fics, too, and it’s absolutely okay (and fun) to do so. It’s less about the concept, and more about the execution, I think. It becomes a little strange when his size is a very big focus of the fic and it’s pretty much done in the tone of “who would have thought poor little Viktor had such a shlong!”.
#exaggerating a little with that last part to get my point across#dicax answers#but you get what i mean#to reiterate: i’m not saying disabled people shouldnt be portrayed with traits that are regarded as conventionally attractive or favorable#it’s just real fucking weird when they’re treated as qualities that ‘’redeem’’ them from their disability

i dont even just think saiki is aromantic i think the entire show is aromantic
#like. the way romantic relationships r always portrayed as silly an fleeting and we empathize w the character#whos inconvenienced by them by proxy (not jus w teruhashi but also like. his parents an teruhashis brother etc)#its like obviously saikis our protag but we dont always see things how he does#but the whole show is centered from a deeply aromantic perspective. comedy comes from inherit absurdity of romantic attraction#also obvs if u like ship saiki w other characters thats epic i hope u r having fun 👍 we need not b enemies#i jsut like making conspiracy board web analysis of show i like#im also definitely projecting too. like im right but im also projecting. u can project alloromance too jus make sure u r hsving fun 👍#i love headcanoning characters as aromantic#saiki k

You. I’d like to shake your hand. You understand. You GET it. You are my new favorite person!
#i love the last part especially because now that i think about it they’re right it IS peak white feminism#saying that the dark-skinned indigenous woman being portrayed as beautiful and feminine is vapid and basic is just so so wrong like#let indigenous girls have this character and stop telling them that their femininity is bad or stereotypical#it’s funny how whenever we get a black or brown girl who gets to be portrayed as feminine and attractive WHITE women always want to say#‘but isn’t that so boring and sexist and stereotypical’ TO YOU#for woc being feminine is inherently subversive and unique#and that’s that on that#isabela madrigal#isabela my beloved#isabela is best girl#luisa madrigal#encanto#my post

truly at the end of the day its all about receiving validation
#<- was having a lot of fun drawing fat william till he stopped to think about what other people might think#<- very important that people like him just as much as i do#<- incredibly important (i love him so much and his character is so much more nuanced than the fandom ever gives him credit for#and he already gets shat on way too often by people who don't understand what they're talking about)#truly the amount of hate based around him being a murderer is insane. Brother he's not a real life murderer. he's not going to#come out of the screen and hurt you#I NEED PEOPLE TO AT LEAST LIKE HIM A LITTLE BIT *bursts into tears*#and i need validation#and getting people to simp for him and think oh hes hot 😳 is one of the easier and more entertaining ways to get nice comments#what i lack in skill and talent i can make up for in character design and suggestive subtext right?#ugh#i dunno it feels like the only way to get people to say sometjing nice about my art sometimes#don't get me wrong i adore drawing him slutty but. ougggghhhhhh#hope it doesnt sound like im implying he's less attractive if hes fat personally i think hes hot as fuck#its mostly about stupid ass conventionally attractive shit#and also that people get bullied for portraying him fat... That too#anyways#im normal again now#toxi.txt

One of my favourite things about being an unapologetic Dottore lover is when I mention him outside of my friend groups; people just automatically assume I’m justifying his actions after saying something mundane like “I want him to be playable.” And you know what? If they’re dumb enough to think that then I’m gonna play them for the fiddle they are
#cut to me telling a random YouTube commenter “I’m only attracted to men with a bodycount of at least ten” (bodycount as in murder)#and the ever so original “I justify it with the power of ‘If Villain Why Hot?’”#they’re calling me an evil psychopath (actually “a evil psychopat” but whatever)#and saying Dottore deserves to be Signora’d (that is killed in a cruelly ironic fashion)#and I’m giggling to myself at their terrible spelling and counterpoints#“just because you said [you’d accept a segment being playable but not the original] I hope the original Dottore becomes playable just to#spite you”#no one tell these fools I was already hoping Prime became playable beforehand shhhhh#anyway#genshin impact#Dottore my beloved#dottore#genshin dottore#genshin#i feel bad for my fellow Harbinger stans honestly#if you wanna talk about your morally gray/evil crush my ask box is open#I might make fun of Scara but that’s only because he’s literally portrayed as a pathetic wet cat (I respect you don’t worry)#thanks for reading all these tags btw
