katara spends the whole show searching for acknowledgements of her grief from others to get closure of some kind, or to gain a sliver of peace. but it never sticks. talking about it doesn't ease the pain. time didn't ease the pain. action doesn't ease the pain. the war is still going and the wound is still growing, so of course she still hurts. her story doesn't end with her resolving that pain, but she does accept that she's always going to be angry and sad, and the empty space where her mother was will always be there. and of course it will. of course it will. but she's strong enough to always be aware of that emptiness, and to stop trying to fill it in.
#saying the final real but petty bit in the tags. i think that's part of y ppl feel so weird about the southern raiders#besides the misogyny#bc the arc is resolved w yes it does suck. it's always going to suck.#she will always miss her mom & she'll always hate the ppl who killed her#which feels weird in a kids show that usually resolves things at the end of the episode#but yeah there's also the misogyny#katara#atla#anyway one thing about me is i will return to atla posting at any time. atla jumpscare

Saw another trans person call steven universe a “tenderqueer AFAB core show” complaining about it having transmasc rep. Really, we’re still doing this? :/
#I’m still not getting where the transmasc rep is besides the rose/steven stuff — do they think all the steven fusions + shep are transmasc?#transandrophobia#transphobia#misogyny#intracommunity issues tag#mine

.. opinions on wind runner? i feel like im one of the only ones that genuinely hates her sometimes
If you feel like the only one who genuinely hates her, I think you need to look around more. Wind Runner is a very widely disliked character, because she's often used within the story as a small antagonist who "threatens" the authority of Tall Shadow. Gray Wing dislikes her. Thunder is openly cat-racist to her. She spends several books trying to break through the moor cats' xenophobia to join a group that came to HER LAND.
Then, when Moth Flight is old enough to be a relevant character in Forest Divided, Wind Runner is turned into Yet Another mean mom the very moment Moth displays ADHD. She's contrasted to her mate Gorse Fur, who is a Soft And Good Dad, and ultimately MASSIVELY punished with the harrowing events of Moth Flight's Vision (even though, for most of that book, she's completely right.)
Ask yourself why they're especially harsh on WIND RUNNER for being mean to her child, in the arc with Tom the Fucking Wifebeater and his redemption death, plus Thunder being forced to stop being mad at his abuser Clear Sky, please.
To me, Wind Runner is an intense, ambitious woman who's demonized for it in a way that men just aren't. She's subject to several misogynistic trends within WC, plus a huge helping of xenophobia that goes absolutely unexamined. If DOTC cared at all about women, it would have treated her with the nuance she deserves.
Wind Runner is treated with nearly endless suspicion by Gray Wing through books 1 - 3, while he's bending over backwards to suck Clear Sky's toes.
Her wanting to join the group that came TO HER HOME and being a bit pushy about it earns a stronger reaction from Gray Wing than Clear Sky murdering people.
She's pressured into changing her name "to fit in," and it's still not enough. She wanted to join the group so bad she changed her name, at the request of the Mountain Cats, for a chance of being better accepted
This came after she'd already saved Jagged Peak's life when a burrow collapsed on him. She's plenty trustworthy.
She keeps doing shit to try and prove herself to this group of assholes. Remember Bumble being dragged back to her domestic abuser? Gray Wing interprets this as a power struggle, when WIND RUNNER WAS NOT EVEN PART OF THE GROUP AT THE TIME.
From Wind Runner's POV, she did something that the Moor cats wanted done. It was fucking evil. It was committing violence against another member of the out-group the cats see her as.
But who actually has the power here? Tall Shadow does.
Gray Wing said it himself that she could have come up with some excuse for Bumble to stay, and she didn't. In fact, any cat could have spoken up. No one did.
and still. STILL. Wind Runner gets nothing. Her reward is Gray Wing surmising that actually, her doing their sick dirtywork was a political move.
It's more consistent as a motivation with how Wind Runner wants to join their group. The thing she's been doing.
She only actually gets to join the group after Thunder starts publicly hurling slurs at her for suggesting they need to be ready for Clear Sky to attack them. "What do you know about peace? Last time I was here you were NOTHING BUT A ROGUE WITH A ROGUE'S NAME"
Gray Wing even starts purring when she gives birth, because her ambition goes away briefly and she "stops bossing everyone around." this is treated like a sweet thing. god forbid women retain their personalities when they have kids
She loses her first premature child to a seizure and Gray Wing starts proselytizing his religion to her. "Maybe it's a good thing your weakest child died because Jesus has them now" I want to beat him with a hammer
When her second child gets sick, Clear Sky has a bright idea that involves killing it. I refer to this as his "reverse leper colony" suggestion. He only develops a sense of humanity towards the sick when his brother's pregnant wife is in danger. Wind Runner and her kitten barely seem to clock as people to him.
It's only after her SECOND baby succumbs to a horrible, painful death that she decides the moor cats are assholes, and she goes to start her own group. It's LONG overdue. I was extremely excited to see it.
Now. Listen.
I've been treated just like Moth Flight before. I've practically heard the scolding in Book 6 Chapter 3 verbatim. I'm not downplaying anything about Wind Runner being harsh to her; being yelled at like that never fixed the problem.
What I'm saying is that this is the SAME arc that summons the hollowed-out ghost of Storm to coo that Clear Sky "never drove anyone away" with his abusive behavior and gives Tom the Wifebeater a heroic redemption death.
So why is the scolding from Wind Runner treated as unambiguously harsh? What's the difference between her and them?
Why is it that outside of this little bubble of the community, you can get buried in a flood of people crying about how "Clear Sky made Summisteaks Butt he thought it was the right thing :((( He feels bad about shoving Thunder's face in a weeping, pus-filled wound and trying to kill him :((((" but Wind Runner is mean about Moth Flight not catching a rabbit and she should be skinned alive
Why is WIND RUNNER held responsible for the death of Clear Sky's child in Moth Flight's Vision, WHEN IT WAS COMPLETELY HIS OWN FAULT??
So, why should I hate her? Because she's mean to the idiot protagonists? Because she's Yet Another Bad Mom whose actions ARE treated as Bad in the story, in the arc famous for openly weeping whenever someone's mad at their abusive dad?? When she has this whole horrific, unexamined story about how incredibly bigoted The Settlers are towards her and the extremes she goes to in order to please them?
I'm glad she's mean, actually. She should have been even meaner. I think she should have a gun
#so anon I am very sorry#Uou are going to the Shadow Realm#I am the patron saint of every woman in wc#but especially the ones in dotc#because that arc does them so fucking dirty#Wind Runner can be as mean as she wants I support her#The Settlers deserve it actually#Wind Runner#Windstar#Warrior Cats Analysis#also again everything wind runner has ever done that was mean was done worse by clear sky#but clear gets off with a slap on the wrist. IF that.#while Wind Runner gets her leg sickeningly snapped on screen as several paragraphs detail her growing fever and horrible agony#before the magic of JesusClan heals her and bestows her lives upon her#Guys getting hurt in WC: ''owie''#Girls getting hurt in WC: (you can hear the writer breathing heavily through the 6 paragraphs of prose they use to describe her injury)#..........also. to put into perspective just how fucking bad the misogyny in this arc is;#there are only 4 female characters in Book 1 who survive to the end of Book 6. Besides some cameo cats who exist in the tribe#Wind Runner is one of them. The other three are Settlers.#I won't even say their names lol. Can you even remember who all three of the other ones are#warrior cats analysis

The Christian audacity to assume that every non-Christian, especially non-believers, are secretly miserable and unfulfilled because they're not Christian is definitely in one of the top ten insulting and degrading things Christians believe about other human beings.
#ex catholic#ex christian#deconversion#apostate#besides the homophobia misogyny and general bigotry baked into the religion of course#christianity fucking sucks ass

i laugh nearly every time i see somebody posting tinfoil hat conspiracies abt david tennant being secretly gay in love w michael sheen bc every time i have to picture david coming out as queer and having to woefully return the lgbt ally award so that it can be awarded to someone else
#like a reverse misha collins situation#sorry i'm not straight guys :( hopefully you can forgive me :(#david tennant#also besides the clear misogyny re: believing georgia is the spawn of satan or whatever i think you all are so bad at this.#if i were to tinfoil hat abt this real life man i do not know#i would die on the hill of 'nonpracticing kinsey 2 hovering someplace on the ace spectrum. this has almost zero effect on his personal life#<- /j i need to clarify that i would explode before i'd actually headcanoned things abt a real person

yall know women can also do misogyny, right? whether or not you say misogynistic shit, engage in misogynistic behavior, proliferate misogynistic policy and ideology, is not ACTUALLY dependent on YOUR gender, like, you know that, right? anyone is capable of enacting any bigotry, its just, some people may also be impacted by bigotry they perpetuate, some ppl may be more likely to know that they shouldnt engage in that shit, and be more likely to shut down that behavior where they have the power to do so? being a woman doesnt make you immune to perpetuating misogyny?
#toy txt post#saw another post about how trans men are men and therefore are more likely to be misogynistic#treating it like its something that comes inherent with whatever your gender is and not just some shit you learn from being raised in a#misogynistic society. anyone saying that trans men are inherently incapable of misogyny is wrong. but so is anyone saying they are#intrinsically destined to be misogynistic by virtue of existing as a trans men as some backwards ass gender validation#yall need to go back and reread your feminism basics until you understand this: anyone is capable of misogyny#ALSO. trans men dont have societal privilege for being men bc theyre not seen as men by society. they might experience CONDITIONAL#privilege if theyre like fully stealth and dont have to worry about any sort of healthcare thats associated with womanhood which is like#1)staggeringly few and 2)still conditional fucking privilege. youre doing stupid ass 2012 terminally online privilege math and you need to#stop. trans men are men. they are marginalized men not treated as men. they might in some very few spaces experience some amount of#privilege for being a man i guess but its so fucking rare and nil that its akin to saying that binary trans ppl have privilege for being#binary and concievably being able to pass and be perceived as their correct gender ever at all outside of like very specific queer friend#groups who know the details of your gender but if you start saying anything like that everyone gets pissed off#and quite frankly we do not have time for this level of stupid petty infighting when all of us are under attack rn you need to go back to#your feminism basics and stop drinking radfem kool aid uncritically. understand that radfeminism is not great besides the trans exclusion#please

Top three quotes from Plague Doctor chapter 32
- Ah yes, and I used "Sinners' Garden" exclusively for potato farming.
- Are you searching for a pro... personnel for your mini-hotel?
- Why? Just why, when I meet a handsome man he turns out to be a bandit of some sorts?
#bubble comics#plague doctor#чумной доктор#Lera... you have no idea how much of a mood™ this is#glad that Sergey remembers some crazy ass shit he had done in the past#saw a tweet about Altan's quote captioned 'I can excuse killing people and being in a mafia but I draw the line at misogyny'#girl you literally praised Sergey for getting offended at this while he said almost the same shit one chapter ago!#I'm a hypocrite but at least I admit it!#I do not excuse him saying this by the way! I kinda wanted to punch him too.#but damn if I didn't appreciate it since I waited for them to make canonical 'being a plague doctor = selling your body' joke.#it was there from the beginning.#besides... Altan gets his ass beaten metaphorically this chapter and it's funny af.

everyday im thinking about the fact mint probably wouldn't fully get feminism for a bit because to him its like why would people NOT respect and love women??
#he was raised by magnolia in. the middle of the woods. meaning he ONLY had female figures for the first 10 years of his life#and then he had dove!#obviously he would've encountered. men. in the city but.#those first ten years were his formative years. its sort of hard to get out of that mindset afterwards;;#meaning hes stuck eternally with not understanding misogyny because WHY would anyone treat women like that?? huh???#which also causes an issue because. holy shit mint. that silver thread conversation. -> BUT BESIDES THAT.#-> thank you to magnolia for raising the biggest accidental feminist ever holy shit#mint#malachy#i dont even know anymore.#symbiosis & silver thread#symbiosis

i'm gonna try not to bring up madoka too much while watching utena because i know there's like... a rep there. but like im 6 episodes into utena and i understand i don't have the full picture yet but how on earth do people think these shows are similar enough to warrant "madoka is misogynistic garbage, go watch utena, it's basically the same but better"
#like ive rambled abt ppl calling madoka problematic before i wont rehash that rn#but like........ what exactly do these shows have in common besides purple/pink uncanny valley toxic yuri#its not even the same flavor of toxic yuri#from what im seeing utena is a story about agency and power imbalances#like. i guess they both have broken systems? but those systems also seem to work differently#the end of the world seems more cultish while kyubeys magical girls can be more closely compared to military recruiting#like... idk im getting the vibe that these ppl claiming that madoka is god awful and utena is The Good Show havent really processed either#and just dumbed both of them down to general tropes like. oh pink/purple yuri! oh horror tropes!#theyre not even from the same genre. rgu is a shoujo anime while pmmm is a magical girl anime#like. i know theres some rgu influence in pmmm but from what i know that seems to be the extent of it. influence#like. are you telling me every single deconstructive show containing yuri is similar to one another...#who's participating in fandom misogyny again?#echoed voice

of course terfs would get mad at a post reminding them that there’s more to being a woman than misery and suffering: they’re misogynists. they hate women. their misogyny is just the ‘woke’ kind where they re-enforce the idea that women are weaker and stupider and generally less capable compared to men but like, in a ‘feminist’ way 🤪💅
when you hate women and genuinely believe they are inferior, that they are lesser, it’s impossible to see that there’s any joy or pride or anything positive about being a woman. especially if you yourself are a woman who believes in this kind of self-deprecating mindset.
#terfs haven’t opened their eyes to misogyny and sexism they are hyperfocused on it#so much so to the point where nothing else exists#misogyny exists and the world is unfair and therefore it always will be and women will always suffer and be miserable#how could anyone be happy when other people are being treated unjustly?? they must be fake women#they must be pretending to be women. that’s the only possible explanation#because all REAL women know is be weak and dainty and dumb and subservient and lesser#no REAL women could ever beat a man at chess or throwing darts or jeopardy or any sport or ANYTHING#men are better than women in every single way and there’s nothing we can do about it besides warn young girls of the suffering of womanhood#do you think maybe there in lies the problem with your way of thinking??#your train of thought shouldn’t stop at ‘men are better than women’#(which isn’t even objectively true by the way. which you’d know if you weren’t a misogynist)#if you really cared about women you actually be trying to do something for little girls to be hopeful about in the future#so maybe they can grow up and realize that being a girl isn’t so terrible and awful and miserable#but no. you’d rather focus on problems that don’t matter and attack and shame women who don’t agree with you#or don’t look like how your whitewashed eurocentric idealized version of what a woman should look like#or god forbid do sex work and actually be comfortable and happy and proud of that line of work and lifestyle#yeah. those are the real issues REAL women should care about#give me a fucking break#anti terf#misogyny /

"Masculine women are treated better than traditionally feminine women!!!"
(And the person saying this is literally talking about AFAB trans people when they say "women" Because let's not even try to hide the transmisia and exorsexism!!!)
[ID: The meme of Dr. Phil handing an L to the camera, now edited so he is instead handing a copy of Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg. End ID.]
Official PDF version released to the public on the author's wishes:
"https://lesliefeinberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Stone-Butch-Blues-by-Leslie-Feinberg.pdf"
(Archived link)
You can buy an at-cost printed version here:
"https://www.lulu.com/shop/leslie-feinberg/stone-butch-blues-20th-anniversary-author-edition/paperback/product-kjqzjj.html?page=1&pageSize=4"
Stop fucking doing the misogynist and transmisic assholes' job for them. Just because those who hate fucking trans people are now pretending they've never ever ever had a problem with tomboys and butches and other masculine women as a cover for their hatred of AFAB trans people does not mean you get to fucking spout their lies for them.
Gender nonconformity has always been violently fucking punished. Just because conservatives are now pretending they never treated masculine women badly so they can pretend that trans men and AFAB nonbinary people are evil and brainwashed does not mean you fuckers get to help them spread this blatant fucking lie.
I was literally bulled my entire fucking childhood for not being feminine. Shut the absolute fuck up if you're going to claim that masculine women -- and people perceived as woman -- are treated just perfectly fucking fine and are more well treated than any other fucking victims of misogyny.
Shut your fucking ignorant mouth.
#misogyny#mispergeny#transmisia#exorsexism#transandromisia#I have HAD IT with people pretending women and people assumed to be fucking women who are not feminine#are treated better than their peers.#Next person who spouts this shit is getting mauled.#I swear to fucking shit#You people have never fucking spoken to a gender nonconforming person in your fucking life besides cis gay men and we can fucking tell#Stone Butch Blues#Queer history#antimasculism#or however you spell it#trans#transgender#nonbinary#transsexual#transnonbinary#genderqueer#MOGAI#LIOM#Pride#Queer#LGBT#LGBTQIA+

Fetishizing pregnancy is so dangerous and disgusting to me. There is so much wrong with it, but for all the so-called trads, you are committing a grave sin by dragging innocent children into your fetish. Irresponsibly creating life to satisfy your disturbing sexual preferences will never, ever be okay. Children are human beings with their own individual souls and identities, not pawns for your creepy worldview.
#stop fetishizing pregnant women#besides the inherent misogyny of it you are fetishizing the existence of human children also#trad ideology is dangerous#the trad community is full of misogynistic fetishists who pretend God is on their side#you will be judged and held accountable#misogyny#tradfem#pro patriarchy#my post#christian feminist
