#but bluntness does Not make opinions any less of an opinion than somebody being meek about it

Hi uh, not to call a reading issue here random citizen, but I Did specify that the people I'm mad at are calling her both goodie two shoes and evil incarnate simultaneously and the choice of dramatic language was not hyperbole, I meant people legit spitting fire about her being an angel and demon at the same time. If you're not doing that, I literally wasn't talking about you Or any of those other people you're mentioning. There. Problem over.

Hate it, love it, I don't care honestly, but if you go around assuming anybody's vocal hatred of the sheer misogyny I've had to wade through to watch this stupid show is me, what, idk, denying the right to criticise when hilariously this Entire post is about specifically weird misogyny meaning we can literally do that without feeling the need to be combatant to defend her against said misogyny, you have Vastly misinterpreted what this entire post was saying in a massive way and gone off one one that was wholly irrelevant or possibly actually vaguely in support of the message I wrote the post about.

And for the record, I refuse to stick 'in my opinion' on every post I write about this show. They are obviously opinions unless I am stating facts. I won't play to the lowest common denominator. If you think I don't know all of the above, you're mistaken. I either disagreed with it or felt I didn't want to talk about it even if I didn't like it, so I left you alone out of respect and spoke about my feelings on things instead. On my blog. Without any identifiable tags on it. I can't help the algorithm if it shoves it in somebody's face, but the most likely scenario for somebody seeing my posts is that either they chose to follow me or chose to follow people who agree with me, if that's an issue there are multiple ways to cultivate your spaces against me. I don't come at people for the very differences you mentioned above because I probably wasn't talking about them, and I don't even name the asshole misogynists, frankly, let alone random people I don't have a beef with who I just ignore.

Tldr I only talk about the shitheads bc I'm not gonna @ some random person over a harmless disagreement of opinion unless it is actually harmful (which. A couple of things coming From LGBTQ folks has been btw to be fair, we don't all have to agree), and if you're Not one of the misogynists I am talking about you need to stop assuming I am talking about you, because I wasn't. There's a difference between good faith analysis (which I want) and looking for excuses (which I don't).

As infuriating it is that people are on their ‘13 is too Good to be the doctor’ as much as they’re on their ‘13 is too Awful to be the doctor’ bullshit, i do think it’s helpful that it’s stopped any defensive reaction towards 13 being polarised. Like, sometimes you have to spend So much time in fandom defending a female character from bullshit accusations and unfair criticism that you don’t have time to discuss their flaws, you spend all your time talking them up to point out how wrong the internet sexism squad is. 

So people somehow simultaneously saying she’s too goody two shoes And that she’s evil incarnate is helpful in one way. You cannot effectively combat those accusations by being contradictory because it’s already wildly contradictory. Might as well just. Be honest. Talk about it all. Can’t fight against somebody who has convinced themselves that she’s an angel who is evil actually.
