I don't like the judo flip in moa as much as the next guy but in my eyes it's largely the result of rick not taking female violence half as seriously as male violence (a result of viewing women as weaker and inferior to men such that their acts of violence don't need to be taken as seriously) and not so much anything about annabeth herself. like I do genuinely feel that annabeth is a complex heroine and definitely one of the better ones in the realm of ya action-adventure fiction produced in the past 25 years but she is still a girl being written by a man and all I'm saying is that her writing clearly reflects that sometimes (more in tags)
#case in point: the amazons#hazel: you keep slaves????#kenzie: no. the men just know their place#like...... sure jan. the parody of amazon the company isn't actually using immoral labor the workers just like it that way 🥰#but that line about “knowing their place” would not fly the other way around#because women in power are not taken as seriously as a group of men dominating female workers would be#(we could talk about the futurama amazons too in this context because it's pretty much the same issue of female violence not#being taken seriously and played for laughs instead. iykyk)#do you guys know that trope of girls who are just comically aggressive and mean towards guys who barely reciprocate the energy#(like the majority of the female cast of naruto falls into this trope. again iykyk)#it's like a shallow attempt to write a strong female character by just making her an Angry mean nasty man-hater#or it's just a validation of some nerd's worldview that women are just always so mean towards men who never do anything wrong#and they definitely don't have power over women in society women are just Like that. for some reason#anyways if you couldn't tell by my pfp I'm an annabeth fan so I definitely don't mean this in an anti-annabeth way#just in a Critical of the way rick portrays women way#specifically women that he wants to come off as strong/powerful#and if you are a fellow annabeth stan and feel upset by this all I can say is that it isn't a bad thing to be critical of the way our faves#are written and in fact critical reading is a very important skill to exercise 👍#this is also why I'm annoyed by the “annabeth is abusive” allegations because it's like Ok she's clearly not intended to come off that way#so instead of meaninglessly antagonizing annabeth (who isn't real) or fans who enjoy her/the ship in its entirety#what can we glean about the flaws of the writing. what can we glean about biases of the author who wrote the damn thing#(not saying I even agree with the allegations to begin with because I Don't but yk)#this whole thing stems from social constructs around gender (everything else in the world does) i.e. public reception to female violence#where real world female violence isn't taken seriously so female criminals face less harsh punishments OR the other way around and female#cruelty is received as even more egregious than male cruelty because how dare a woman be anything but kind and nurturing and angelic#btw this is not a safe space to be anti percãbeth/annabeth in my notifs keep that to yourself bud 👍#rr crit#pjo hoo toa#percy jackson

I mean… wlw content get overshadowed by mlm ships everyday so it is insensitive a little
Not to sound too mean but what do you expect me to do? I get that sapphic ships get overshadowed and underrated all the time in comparison to achillean ones. Believe me. I am a lesbian who is constantly pushing their sapphic ships everywhere.
But you can't expect people to suddenly stop posting about the achillean ships they enjoy just because they're more popular than YOUR favorite ships. Is it bothersome that achillean ships get more attention for the sole reason of being a male pairing while sapphic ships get ignored or not even suggested? Yeah!!!! It's frustrating.
But if you want some change in the amount of content you see then it's YOUR fight only and others should be allowed to post whatever they like. If you want to post only sapphic ships or you're bothered by them being talked in the same light as achillean ones, then it's YOUR choice to make.
Fandom is NOT activism!!! Fandom is meant to be enjoyed in whatever way you want. Fandom is to interpret media in your own way. So, honestly, if I want to make a simple post comparing two ships I like, why should I be trying to defend myself here for that? If people don't like it, then they can just block me, scroll, move on, etc.
To think a post about comparing fictional ships is insensitive is insane to me, tbh.
#bro i just made a post comparing a sapphic and an achillean ship please relax lmao#& don't act like this isn't specifically about shuggy hate bc i'm sure if it had been any other mlm ship i wouldn't have been getting hate#can i just PLEASE run my account however i like#also touch some grass these are fictional characters and making a wlw ship more popular won't do any changes in real life#and even if it did bc after all fandom IS a social enviornment and normalizing sapphic relationships is great always:#you can't just tell people they're being insensitive when it's just a simple post#i understand your point i really do#you think that comparing a sapphic ship to an achillean ship is bad bc it makes it focus on MEN only#and we already live in a men's world to have to deal with more men ig#but !!!!!!!!! something really fun about fandom is that it's FICTION and it does not affect reality in any way#and yes it is bothersome in a social level that male characters are more popular and we can study that and be bothered by it#but to claim it's insesitive or bad or harmful is just plainly stupid#once again fandom is not activism and i don't owe anyone to change my posts to highlight other ships more when my acc MINE#tldr i hate these discourses bc it makes ME be rude when i hate that#in fact i wouldn't be this mean rn if it wasn't bc i'm getting A LOT of asks abt this bc of a simple post lmao#you know i have a job to care about it's insane to me that you have enough free time to go to other people's acc to complain

When you really think about it, some of these new shounen shows like JJK, BNHA and Demon Slayer are lowkey as bad as older shoenen shows when it comes to how they treat their female characters.
The only difference is that new shounen learned this neat trick where they will allow their female characters to have one epic moment in a side-fight that can easily be removed without effecting the plot too much and somehow that’s enough to gaslight people to think that they’re watching peak feminism.
#did any female character do anything relevant to the plot in JJK?#the only thing I can think of is Nobara helping Itadori in that one fight#but he's the main character so even if she wasn't there I'm sure he would have still won somehow#Demon Slayer has invented the concept of infantilization when it comes to Nezuko#and boy is infantilization the right word because they literally treat her like an infant#and every other female character are either nurses who tend to the male characters or had romance teased with the MC#oh and those 3 wives that need to be rescued......I think one of them helped a little#and BNHA? Where can I begin...#wake me up when the female lead does or say anything that isn't related to the male lead#btw I actually I really love all of these 3 shows but come on a spade is a spade

Captain Marvel Adventures (1941) #19, published in December 1942
#it’s interesting that this story uses the ‘women’s intuition’ trope#but still has Mary ‘charge in like a blundering bull’ and need to be taught to do ‘a little quiet snooping around’ first to catch criminals#what I’ve seen of ‘women’s intuition’ being used in The Avengers (1963)#has been limited to having a female character contribute in the catching criminals part#while then leaving the fighting primarily to the male characters#also Captain Marvel Jr. did not get a training story before he went off in his own solo stories#I assume the difference is not because it was thought surely that’s necessary for a female superhero#but to have Mary appear in another Captain Marvel story to promote her to readers more before she went off to be in her own stories#fawcett comics#mary batson#billy batson#my posts#comic panels

i go back and forth a lot on my interpretations of ats s5, ie. what parts of spike are 'in character' or not, but the one thing that stays constant is my belief that spike and angel fucking would have fixed most of this.
#not that it would have fixed their problems i just mean it would introduce new problems that i would find entertaining as a viewer#anyways i don't like saying a character would NOT say/do that but sometimes i'm not sure if he (spike) SHOULD do that#in terms of showing off the more interesting parts of a character while also carving out a unique arc/dynamic for him on a new tv show#ats rw#i think what's misunderstood about spike is that he's NOT a solo sigma male lone vigilante bad boy action hero#like i think angel is actually the one who has a history of isolating himself#but spike is your friend who always has to be in a relationship (which i think btvs got correct with harmony)#idk. i think oz has that line in btvs where he's like 'i gotta go do that guy thing where i isolate myself now'#and i think that gets transposed onto spike when he goes on the 'guy show' doing 'guy things'#and then kinda blended up with the tension that many of the guys on ats experience between#being a tough guy capable of doing things on his own versus the desire to belong in a crew#but like. that's not a 'guy' thing that applies to all men. that's a thing that certain individuals experience. and spike is not one of the#like i don't think spike cares about how he fits in with society or the collective but i think he DOES care about how individuals#he's close to perceive him#anyways. today on 'reading too much into a tv show that stopped airing 20 years ago'#i gotta make a separate post about this#buffyposting

i swear all lanolin has to do is exist on the same page as the game characters and people will get mad at her
#are you allowed to dislike her or be annoyed with her actions or think shes a bit harsh sometimes? yeah. sure. whatever#but i think some people are overreacting a bit like in the new issue shes just trying to do her job come on#not to pull the misogyny card . i dont think everyone who dislikes her just hates her for being a girl#but i have to wonder if people would be so mad if it was a male character acting like this instead#idw sonic#idw sonic spoilers#also even if she was super unreasonably mean to everyone at all times i dont see how that would make her a bad character lmao

just saw the most painfully unfunny, stupidly mischaracterizing tweet thread about what some guy thinks would make a hilaaaaarious tng season 8 and seeing that he wrote for fucking rick and morty was so vindicating
#the whole time i was reading it i was like “what this person likes about tng and what i do do not overlap” and it just got worse#until i was like. baffled that anyone who likes tng would like any of this#like it looks like a lazy thing someone would throw together having never watched the show (and only caring about the male characters lmao)#but he got an official book deal out of it??#and then a whole star trek tv show??#i wasn't really interested in watching lower decks cuz I'm not big on cartoons but now I'm sure i wouldn't care for it#i don't understand why ppl liked those jokes they were so lazy and bad i feel a little put upon that i read the whole thread#i just kept waiting for a funny one#op#haterism

honestly the only character customization option that matters to me in games is whether or not they let you be nonbinary. and also the hair
#if it's a game made after 2015 and it makes you choose between male or female and/or has male or female-exclusive hairstyles you've lost me#concerned ape please let me be nby in 1.6. please#i hear about how you can customize your character's d/ck in bg3 and it's like i do not care. can i have PRONOUNS.#yeah i'm censoring that word. i'm not 100% sure if it'll get p/rnbots coming after me i'm not taking any chances

Quivering and hooking my fingers into my mouth and biting down hard on them sobbing because the anime
#Listen to my problems#oh god the anime ...#i like calling myself a male fujo because fundanshi doesnt have the same rep and i want people to know what theyre dealing with#hang on i think i left tsukasa in the car#oh fuck my sweetie ..... !!!! he died of carbon monoxide :((((#i miss him so much ... hes like my muse but i cant use that word anymore after what happened with mars. once in a lifetime event#now i can only say 'i like himm :3' because i do. and hes my best friend#hes such a character hes literally all about momentum hes defined by it. Hes so intelligent and quick but when it comes to his life goals#and longterm direction you can kind of tell he wasnt banking on living long and it carries over. that kind of lifestyle and mindset that#held him together for more than a decade is difficult to shed. he hasnt had a chance to grow since the first time he realised his parents#wouldnt lift a finger to take care of him. it was all about survival and stitching blinkers into the sides of your head so you dont falter#dont think about how youre going to get through this just get through it. dont think about how youre going to be doing this for the rest of#your life just get it done. he clipped his own wings and chained himself to the rock he believed in so that when it was dropped in the ocean#he would fall with it without question this is a man who cut his own brake lines because stopping was not an option hes so coooool i cannot#stress enough how he was going to die a horrible death if the world hadnt ended and suddenly he was freed from all obligations. the second#he was awake though ? right back to it. suddenly its his job to recreate the world anew. pure. according to his ideals. nobody should have#to suffer as he did and he will protect them all... hes responsible for them all. it wont be the same as last time this time for sure theyll#get it right. Right? of course theres no room for doubt. that voice at the back of his head has to be crushed underfoot if he stops moving#then he'll fail and he cannot fail ... thats all there is to it he just cant fail. hes literally awesome ... my best friend tsukasaaaaa#and the other guy too i guess

and btw im in my hater arc rn. as time goes on the more i find a lot of 'fandom' stuff insufferable (i like art n stuff. just the way that fandom refits every media to fit a single mold and set of boring archetypes is exhausting.)
i just get really easily annoyed lately. and have been unfollowing people on a whim a lot. its not personal i promise
#fandom culture has made me actively dislike shit i was fixated on a year ago. looking at your ninja turtles#its not even like what they were doing were particularly offensive it was just exhaustingly boring#im sorry i just really dont care about ur 2 million fics about leo being a sadboy. or one million seperated aus.#theres definetly a part of the whole situation in general which has been me coming to terms with my own internalized misogny#actively re-examining my tendencys to gravity towards male characters#idk maybe its making me dislike art more. but idk. ive always analyzed why i react certain ways to certain things. this isnt new for me#anywaays. i had been following a bunch of ninja turtle blogs and they sorta kept messing around with shows like ninjago too#and at some point i was just like. i dont know if these shows are actually that good guys. i think youjust like shows for little boys#and fandoms tend to shaft female chars so it sure helps that their casts are 98% male .#maybe theyre not your blorbo maybe theyre just Guy McAverageMan. thats not inherently bad but you have to consider it.#guys rottmnt is isnt even that good . its not that good ok. its alright/pretty good. and the movie does a few neat things#i feel like ive become one of those people that turn 18 and then immediately go 'minors dni'. im not there yet but i just.#we're watching kids shows. its ok . you can say it.#you may have noticed ive been reblogging a lot of dungeon meshi stuff. i read it all over the past week.#but here's the thing. i thought it was mid/good for like 70% of it.#i think its got some really really cool worldbuilding ideas and stuff#but i think a lot of the writing was sorta. uninteresting to me.#my discord friends have been raving over izutsumi for months.#but i found her presence in the story to be weird and underdeveloped. she felt out of place and her introduction felt clumsy#i felt when the story was ramping up the manga got a lot better. because again theres some rlly cool ideas at play#all the shit with the lion? incredible. the way all the infighting led to more problems bc the elves refuse to explain anything? rlly good.#marcille landing in power? reallly good shit. (i still thought it was a lil undercooked still tho)#i cant stop thinking about laios in that climax scene. i think he shouldve been feral a lot more often#uhh. i got distracted. fandom bad and annoying.#saw a post talking about marcille realizing izutsumi is only 17 and then describing how 'omg shes a mom now' and i wanted to throw up#im done. i swear. im done talking for real. aagh#text

#i had a dream that i submitted a lotro support ticket about some issue that was happening when i opened my inventory#and they messaged me back just saying 'just dont open your inventory lol'#which okay they would never word it like that#but they have started saying 'weve sent this to our quality assurance team to review to see if its an issue that requires fixing'#and i think thats kind of rude#like the first time i saw it i was saying 'these gloves show up this way on female characters and this way on male characters'#and while im pretty sure its a mistake it might not be#so it made sense there#but on skills that arent working right? neck seams? you need to review that and see if it needs fixing??????#theyve also started telling me to go be on the forums in every bug submission response and like. dude#i JUST blocked the forums so i cant access them from my computer#i did not do this for funsies#the forums are a toxic place and i cant handle it#if you want me on the forums do more moderation. maybe stop letting people use slurs as their usernames

you know how online fandom quizzes always seem to have a ‘who is your favourite [insert media] woman?’
i feel like i never see this for the male characters? maybe this is just my experience but i only ever see this question posed for female characters, usually because there’s less of them so it’s probably easier to narrow down a choice to just one.
you have to pick ONE female character. you’re allowed to have as many favourite men as you want though 💫❤️
#idk what to tag this as#i just see this a lot#almost every fandom uquiz i’ve taken has the favourite girl question#Let’s stop pitting queens against each other 😔#Like why do i have to choose between yosano or gin or kouyou or kyouka. Why can i not choose all.#and sure the favourite male character question is probably asked too#just very rarely in my experience compared to the favourite woman question#anyways justice for female characters i hope bsd adds more in the next arc#agatha seems like she’ll be very interesting once we get more info on her#but i hope we get more female characters in general#i generally find the bsd women to be written to the same standard as the male characters which is good#but there are still obviously some flaws#anyways#i may be aroace as hell but i love women ❤️#Also this is fandom critical btw the last sentence is sarcastic.#it should go without saying that i think male and female characters should be treated equally in fandom

{ I'm asking and begging y'all to buy and play Withering Rooms. It's such a fun and cool game, not to mention it can be pretty challenging as well when performing certain tasks.
Hell, I've been contemplating making an AU of it for Dickson because of how much I enjoy it. Though I'd have to turn Dickson into a girl considering the game is about an all women's asylum and such. Already doing my third run of the game. }
#{ I have the game on my PS5 but I'm pretty sure I saw people playing it on computer as well. }#{ So there's probably a Steam version. }#{ There's also an Xbox X|S version as well from what I know. }#{ If you like dark and grotesque things like I do... this game is for you! }#{ It's plot was a bit confusing to me at first since it just kinda tosses you into the game. }#{ But after a while I started to understand stuff. }#{ I may or may not have screamed a bit when first playing. }#{ Now I'm cap level with a million different items. }#{ But yeah... your muses would have to be female in order for this AU to work due to the setting. }#{ Though I suppose male muses could work too so long as they're some of the staff and whatnot? }#{ Cause there are some male characters. Just not a whole lot. }#{ That or you'd have to genderbend your male muses like Imma do for Dickson. }#{ I just gotta figure out a whole new name for him as a girl since he can't be Dickson. }#{ Also gotta give him two new middle names as well cause Gerald and Reginald aren't girl names. }#☣ [ ' Tԋҽ σɳҽ ɯԋσ ʅҽαԃʂ Ⴆҽԋιɳԃ ƈʅσʂҽԃ ԃσσɾʂ.
