#and kind of misogynistic

"I love my daughters," declared Jagger. "But there's nothing like having a first son." Concurred Jerry: "He's crazy about his girls, but to be honest, a fourth daughter would have been a real disappointment. Mick's so English, you know." At his christening in England, James's presents would include a silver potty.

“girl dinner” “girl math” “i’m just a girl” okay but I am an adult I am six feet tall I am loud as fuck I take up space I am smart and capable. So are you. Why would we want to laugh at jokes where the punchline is that women aren’t? Why would we want to make jokes about being small and childish and incapable? Who do you think laughs at those jokes the loudest?

on a scale of one to Taking Down "Hylas and the Nymphs" By Waterhouse Despite Zero Women Besides That One Museum's Curator Ever Objecting To It, how performative is your attempt at feminist action

[utilitycaster]

sometimes I will encounter rampant hate towards Matt Mercer out in the larger internet world and I cannot find where it comes from. some people just fucking hate him PASSIONATELY for no reason that I can discover and it's like have you considered. therapy. or recreational drugs.

YES, the Lady bred her bloodline with the intention that they would die as sacrificial lambs and be a meatsuit for her undead Criston Cole Champion.

I said those things on twt a year ago

But instead a bunch of freaks (all katherine haters) called me a "miS0gYniSt🤪" for simply stating a fact

You know what's misogynistic? Hating on Katherine because she's a soft femme girl.

I dislike the Lady because of her hypocrisy. In fact, the Lady were a man I'd hate her a billion times more, and if Sarcean were a woman (Femcean supremacy!!! I hc him as genderqueer tbh) I'd stan him a zillion times more.

I may have spoken too soon about the Ranma 1/2 reboot because I heard the English dub has ALREADY gotten heat for changing "who are you calling a girl?" to "who says liking clothes is girly."

I normally wouldn't care about a change like this, but the 2024 version of Ranma 1/2 is specifically a PERIOD DRAMA. As in, it is explicitly set in the 80s. Which was a smart choice on the writers' part because they knew there was no way you could get away with setting this show in 2024.

The fact that Ranma and Akane are betrothed at age 16, while common in the 80s in Japan (and most Asian countries) would be absolutely unthinkable today. Akane's misandry was comedic when the show came out, but today that level of violent man-hatred would be considered abusive. Genma's parenting was considered merely strict in the 80s, but today, his ass would have been in jail faster than you can say "Jusenkyo." And don't even get me started on how the presence of the internet, smartphones, and social media would affect the series' main conflict.

It's almost like the dubbers are treating the 80s like a buffet. They're picking and choosing the problematic aspects from that decade that are "okay", while ignoring the ones they feel "aren't." The entire purpose of making the reboot a period drama was specifically so you didn't HAVE to fundamentally change the premise.

I have seen it in Turning Red with the 2000s, and now I am seeing it here. What is it with modern western writers and their obsession with sanitizing very recent history?

It is no secret that I hate the Fanny/Henry pairing, bc like...

How can you read that book, and how Henry acts, and the distress it causes Fanny while we're in her head the whole way through...

And want her to be wrong? And want her to be the one to have to admit she was wrong?

No! Terrible, awful ending. Henry Crawford is not a good person. He's not, like, evil. But he's selfish and self-centred and thinks he deserves Fanny because he's rich and charming and made the bare minimum effort to seem like a better person. I fully buy into the idea that he likes her because he likes a challenge, and that if finally faced with what she like every day (shy and retiring and quiet and uncomfortable around loads of ppl) he'd start to resent her sharpish.

This is a book about selfishness and selfish people, and even in this cast, he's near the top of the most selfish, the most careless with the feelings of others. At the centre is Fanny, who is maligned and mistreated, but despite all is selfless and good, though she struggles with jealousy and negative thoughts and feelings.

It's a book about how she - poor and dependent and not especially well educated or taken care of by her relatives - knows her own mind and deserves to be treated as a rational, intelligent person.

It is literally crucial to her arc and the arc of the story that she's right about Crawford!

I hate men because today after years of my brother mocking me whenever I talk about something I’m well informed on by saying I did no research I finally told him how much it upsets me. So straight after he brought up my male assault statistics and called them fake before leaving.

[forget-meabh-not]

transmisandry is a real thing and I’m sick of people acting like it is not.

why the fuck are we starting up the oppression olympics. does it really insult you that much that *gasp* a group of people other than you face their own unique oppression ?

this shit is so harmful and just causes more of a fucking divide amongst queer people. get your acts together istg.

[grassbreads]

Man, genuinely there's little that excites me more than encountering queerness in fiction where I wasn't expecting it. I'm gonna be thinking about Kikuhiko/Yakumo from SGRS for so long.

Even setting aside the subtext of his feelings for Sukeroku, the narrative around his relationship to gender norms and his own expression is so fascinating. Guy who grows up steeped in rigid 40s gender roles and actively tries to enforce them, yet only truly feels like himself when he's acting on stage as a woman. Guy who says his life would have been better if he were born a woman and then refuses to elaborate.

Klayley shippers will tell you their ship is better than haylijah because hayley still loved Klaus even though he physically and emotionally abused her for pretty much most of the show like it's a good thing

[alexandriaellisart]

So now i have migraines apparently 😭

[aihoshiino]

i'm saying this again but if you're an akane fan talking about oshi no ko and the crux of your analysis revolves around shitting on kana then maybe you aren't actually as big of an akane fan as you like to think lol

[tacticalfiend]

played Mouthwashing and loved it, don't think I have anything that insightful to say about it though. I will say, however, that the fan reaction to it is incredibly disappointing to me. Like do whatever you want I'm not your dad, but I find it a little contemptable that a game clearly about sexual assault and gendered violence is being completely eclipsed by fucking yaoi posting. There's so much to discuss and explore about Jimmy and Curly (and Anya!), but I guess that's just too boring when you can hallucinate toxic yaoi!!! (BUZZWORD!! BUZZWORD!!). It's kind of incredible how Jimmy seems to just.. forget or brush aside the violence he's inflicted upon Anya in favor of obsessing over Curly, and a majority of fans seem to be eager to do the same!
