MGSV really is *so* misogynistic it is honestly hard to believe. It has ONE named female character, just one. And holy shit, the things they make that single woman do.
I don't know what happened. Or how Kojima thought what we was doing was defensible.
I could just link to the introduction of the SKULL snipers from Mission 28 Code Talker but even that I feel is so unbelievable to see with your own eyes that it would exit the mind as soon as it stopped playing.
Literally every criticism made during that era toward's this game is accurate. Every single one.
It might legit be the WORST example of "male gaze," literally literally ever. Out of everything.
If MGSV had outright no women in it whatsoever it would be better than what this is.
The cutscene for when Big Boss comes to Mother Base after not showering was what sealed it for me.
And the fact that there were people back then who thought they could defend this perhaps makes it even more deranged.
#mgsv#completely incoherent post#I love love love playing this game but holy shit#It is fucking unbearable.#Play it on your computer with the mod 'Take Me of the Grid + No More Timers + Free Deployment' installed#The game is legitimately hot garbage without it.#what the fuck happened to result in the difference between how woman are treated in this game and then... Death Stranding?????#Wtf???????#its inexplicable#Kojima; as skilled a designer and director as he certainly is#is absolutely also a misogynist#I think MGSV is the hard fucking proof frankly#You can't make this. AND whine about how people refused to like it. That shit definitely counts augh my god#still a completely incoherent post#aough#i cant even put the words together#the actual moment to moment core gameplay is so fun its ridiculous#but oh my god everything else is SO so bad#how can I even like it?#I don't know. I do. but somehow maybe I should not ldjfjskjfsjkdf#dfjkbgjkdbflglbksbkfgbjkdsfbgbdfgbkjbjkdfbjkg#and it's still stupid as hell that you can't fulton yourself like you do in Peace Walker. Literally just to make you waste more GMP#to force you to depend on the online features. Which gives you millions of GMP at the drop of a hat#Evil game

When discussing things like privilege and oppression, people seem to have one of two ideas about transmasculinity depending on what suits them best at the moment. They either picture a passing masculine trans man or a femme-presenting non-binary person. Both of these prototypes are skinny and White and relatively palatable to the general public. They find it easy to paint both as basically having cis privilege anyway, just wanting to play up their oppression to make people feel bad for them or excuse their (trans)misogyny. They’ll call the former a misogynistic dangerous Aiden and the latter a basically cis theyfab. There’s no room at all for people like me, people on T but still perceived as a butch lesbian. Closeted transmascs. Intersex transmascs. Multigender transmascs. Gnc transmascs who’ll wear a beard and a dress, but are allegedly exempt from experiencing transmisogyny. And yet even those two prototypes still get discriminated against, assaulted, and killed in cold blood. But that must have been despite their male/cis privilege.
It’s funny that those narratives are so dominant. Have you considered you’re seeing transmascs as privileged because you’re only hearing from the most privileged transmascs? That the handful of skinny White transmasc youtubers and musicians and celebrities you can name only got that far because they fit the picture? But invisibility is a privilege, so I guess the rest of us should shut up and be grateful.
#you people treat transmascs like absolute dog shit and we’re just a supposed to man up and take it since we’re So Privileged Anyway#and consider that treating White as the default when considering privilege is not as fucking progressive as you think#some of us have our gender interact with our racialization. believe it or not.#transandrophobia#transphobia#misogyny#<they’ll be so misogynistic to afab nonbinary folks while probably also telling them they don’t experience misogyny since they’re not women#mine#intracommunity issues tag#long post#so much sarcasm in this to be clear

I haven't watched all of his stuff but was subscribed to James Somerton and shared some of his stuff with friends and hoooooly shit did not expect hbomb to go hog wild completely obliterating a creator I was mostly positive about. Took five minutes for me to start going "hell yes tear the bitch apart"
#im also realizing i should have maybe watched more of James shit bc the clips of him#being an absolute wild misogynist are things i havent seen and my eyebrows keep going UP#hbomberguy

I get that “you can just not wear makeup, it's okay to not wear makeup” can sometimes be the exact thing that someone needs to hear, or to be reassured about. but some people are really condescending about when and how they pull that out and who they say it to
like, there is a social reality of misogyny that women are punished for not appearing a certain way, with all the more severity as a function of class, racism, transmisogyny, etc.
that punishment can be the difference between employed and unemployed. having food and not having food. being treated as less competent and less worthy as a person not only by men, but also by other women and people of any gender in general
and tbh, it's especially fucked how some transmisogyny-exempt people say this to trans women, particularly toward those of us with facial hair / stubble that stands out very visibly from our skin. like a trans woman wearing makeup is obviously just too dumb, shallow, misogynistic, and femininity-obsessed to know better, so they take it upon themselves to remind her that “you can be a woman without wearing makeup! :)” in the same voice they use to tell a toddler that the mushy peas are good
do you think trans women wearing makeup while going to job interviews or working customer service positions (or even, yes, trying to exist in public life in general) are all just stuck-up assimilationists with Bad Ideas about gender? do you think it's only trans women with pointedly transmisogynistic values about “passing” who would ever wear makeup or dress a certain way to try to be treated less horribly by the world around us?
especially if you're vividly aware of how you yourself are punished for not wearing makeup—how do you not extend that awareness to other women? including other women who would pretty fucking obviously be treated even worse for it than you are? (how seriously have you considered that some women might be treated worse for it than you are? treated worse by someone like you, even?)
“you can just not wear makeup” “you don't need makeup, there's nothing about your face that needs fixing” okay well hiring managers will absolutely discriminate against me for not wearing makeup to job interviews, but thanks for enlightening me I guess
#if anyone comments ''wow op thinks women need to be told it's okay to wear makeup'' I am going to fucking beat you with a chair#same if anyone starts on ''well I never'' about people being condescending to trans women#like sorry I do also absolutely hate it when people say the#''women can just wear a little makeup! you don't have to put on a Full Face!'' bit regarding Not Wearing Makeup#but this also fucking sucks. why are you glossing over the misogynistic punishment like it's trivial? is that feminist???#my posts#body image#transmisogyny#body image /#misogyny#makeup#ask to tag /

Sorry but Piper’s parallels to Helen of Troy (/Sparta - using the book for her ref rn) should’ve been played up WAY more. Like sure, she has her knife and charmspeak and that’s nice, but like?????
The sheer amount of stuff Rick could’ve gotten out of that parallel too if he made her a lesbian UGHHHH. Make her the most beautiful child of Aphrodite that’s ever been seen in Camp Half Blood. Make her get people to question their eyes when they see her, get people feeling UNCOMFORTABLE with how gorgeous she is. Parallel her relationship with Jason being forced to Helen and Paris being placed under a spell by Aphrodite, make that part of their relationship RELEVANT TO THE PLOT. Make her a lesbian on purpose and actually write some good conflict!!!!!!!!! The pieces were all there and he refused to put them together!!!
And like if he hadn’t fucked up her writing so bad in canon I wouldn’t be so upset but like GODDDD
In conclusion rip Piper Mclean you would’ve love Chappell Roan
#i love her so much she was literally my favourite character in the lost hero#and then she got absolutely FUCKED by the writing and it boils my blood to this day#she could’ve been the most important character in the whole mf series but alas rickie’s a misogynist#pjo#hoo#rr crit#piper mclean#jason grace#helen of troy#heroes of olympus#percy jackson and the heroes of olympus#also helen of SPARTA???? u mean where ares was the PATRON???? u mean the boyfriend of pipers MOM????!!??!?#he comes up w all these parallels and uses them for NOTHING

Because I've been thinking about the fandom tendency to paint characters of color as conservative versus their white counterparts, who are usually valorized as progressives, I'm thinking about the way fandom often talks about Kabru (calling him a cop, saying he's Lawful Good/Evil, saying he'd be an econ or business major or tech bro in AUs, I heard through the grapevine they're calling him classist on tiktok) and absolutely refusing to see his actions- of repeatedly sabotaging an imperial force's military operations for the good of oppressed peoples- as radical.
Kabru was raised by a poor single mother in an economically disenfranchised region, then rejected a life of luxury in the imperial sphere. He explicitly aligns himself with the exploited population (short-lived races) he is a part of. He wouldn't be a fucking investment banker, in any AU he's the most likely character to be an activist. I can't scroll for three posts without seeing Chilchuck hailed as a girldad working class hero (and I'm not saying that's not deserved!) but there is barely any thought given to what it means for the brown guy to care so much about fighting against the takeover of a first-world power.
#dungeonposting#Toshiro also gets this as I've mentioned. he's not a misogynist you weirdos are just racist#Toshiro WOULD be a business major or something like it but only because his dad made him!#inside he would want to study arts or natural sciences!#thinking about how no one in the fandom holds Laios being a solider against him (rightly!)#but if Kabru had also joined the army and then quit- come on just think about what the fan perception would be#see also: the absolute uproar that calling Marcille 'a little conservative about gender' caused#even though it's just true!

RUFIOH PROPAGANDA: Literally everything he has ever done to and about Damara - cheating on her and lying to her for years, seemingly never standing up for her when Meenah was terrorizing her, still chasing her image as a sex object to this day (particularly Aradiabot, who he says acts “just like the real thing”), and calling her his “psycho ex” behind her back constantly while acting nice to her face.
KANKRI PROPAGANDA: Straight up doesn’t think Misogyny is real and denies its existence outright, calling it a meaningless pseudoscience not worth any concern, discussion, or consideration. Slutshames Porrim directly to her face.
#homestuck#homestuck polls#alpha trolls#rufioh nitram#kankri vantas#damara megido#porrim maryam#nekro.txt#my vote is personally on Rufioh since he is more of a danger than Kankri is#both physically and in how his misogyny is expressed#Kankri doesn’t seem like he could survive a physical altercation and his misogyny. while more direct. is also just stupid as fuck#and doesn’t really do much other than annoy Porrim and cause crazy fandom discourse bc the fandom is also full of misogynists#who take him completely at his word for no reason#despite his whole deal being that you shouldn’t listen to him#Rufioh meanwhile is ABSOLUTELY capable of beating my ass in a fight AND he’s exercising his misogyny in very tangible ways#that can will and HAVE caused actual legitimate harm to people in universe#he played a very active role in damaras mental downfall and not only does he still mock and blame her for it#but he has the audacity to be nice to her face shit talk her behind her back and sexually objectify her image#aradiabot is a child and he still targeted her for ‘acting just like the real thing’#way more dangerous than some dumb fucking idiot saying obviously stupid shit imo#like while Kankri’s misogyny is more overt bc he’s practically saying the words ‘I’m a misogynist’ with his whole chest#Rufioh’s misogyny is more *tangible*#you know

sometimes i get really sad thinking about mia and how short her life got cut. like. she was 27 but still had so much ahead of her. she was going to avenge and find her mom and her boyfriend was comatose and she waited every single day for him to wake up because she loved him and she still had maya and pearl to care for and protect from their aunt and she had phoenix to watch grow and develop as a lawyer. and all of that was taken away because some corrupt capitalist with horrible fashion sense didn’t want his reputation ruined.
#anyways. beautiful days by koalamode makes me sob anytime i listen to it.#bc it makes me think of mia and diego#and yeah diego kinda sucks#bc he’s a grown ass man who seeks revenge like a child and he’s also misogynistic#but he did love mia#and he was absolutely crushed when he woke up and no one was there waiting for him#god that’s so sad to think about#miego gets me everytime man#ace attorney#mia fey#diego armando#miego#maya fey#pearl fey#morgan fey#phoenix wright#not tagging white bc he doesn’t deserve the attention

You guys are always yapping about how Criston Cole is Rhaenyra’s victim. Even though the show contradicts you on this point many times. Even though the producers contradict you on this point repeatedly.
However, no one wants to reckon with the fact that those men took a tale about a misogynistic paedophile and the child he groomed and isolated and then turned his child victim into the initiator/aggressor.
It’s par for the course with the adaptors. We watched it happen with Dany and Jorah, Doreah and Xaro Xhoan Daxos, Loras Tyrell and the homophobic way they adapted his story. The racist, heavily sexualised way they adapted the sand snakes and Ellaria Sand. I had hoped the fandom would know better by now but alas!
#before someone inevitably comes here to “but daemon” me#I will say that#daemon targaryen#did not get an adaptation that effectively whitewashed his character to the point that even book-only discussions of his character#are derailed by his antis.#if anything daemon was made extra evil#criston cole was whitewashed#to the point that people who have allegedly read the books are arguing that he was always#rhaenyra's victim.#it's absolutely maddening.#people justifying the homophobic rant he gives after viserys dies#people saying his usurpation of rhaenyra is justified#also being “but daemon-ed” is so fucking annoying#I don't even like that nigga but the way your lot talk about him has me wondering if any of you cracked open fire and blood#or rise of the dragon#or even the world of ice and fire#like damn#you niggas don't even slander Tywin this much and he's also a child murdering#woman murdering#war mongering#cruel#misogynist#like what gives?#house of the dragon#fire and blood#hotd#criston cole

I'll never understand the hate toward acofas...
#and dare I say it's one the best books of this series...#honest question did you rent your brain to someone?#every time I read people's reasoning they just show their true color lol#specially the one who act like they're feminists!!#I have absolutely nothing against it I am using the benefits of feminism but I think people have lost the meaning of being one#to the point they sound misogynist#only because Feyre is now living the life SHE ALWAYS WANTED#since book one...#but then again we all know you don't agree to the life style Feyre chose#iykyk lol#(and Elain)#this also can be said about her too#just because she chose a life without a sword y'all call her boring

i'm getting towards the end of the skypeia arc, & i'd like to say just how much i adore the way the female strawhats have been treated.
just... every aspect of how the way their characters have been previously contextualized influences the story-line is treated with a masterful amount of consideration. we're given so many layers to both of them that enrich not only their characters specifically, but the arc, and the one piece world as a whole. without nami & robin having their specific skills, and their specific values, without those being built upon, the story would have come to a halt.
you could not have skypeia without nami & robin being who they are as individuals. not just because they never would've gotten there without nami, but also because the way these women think is itself foundational to the machinations of the arc as a whole.
to be totally upfront, if you think any other strawhats were more central to the skypeia arc than nami & robin were you are full-on fucking lying to yourself.
#obligatory disclaimer that i’m aware luffy is the protagonist & a lot of interesting stuff is explored w him. this isn’t abt him though.#part of me wonders if this is an aspect of why people will write off this arc sometimes tbh... like that & the political themes.#but yeah anyway i get why people say that for all there are 100% misogynistic tendencies in oda's writing & character design#it is very very hard to say that he as an individual is an ideological misogynist. like the level of care he puts into his female cast mem#-ers generally speaking & how he approaches what existing as a multi-dimensional individual would look like in their specific contexts is#like... in a lot of ways still something that is unprecedented across all forms of media.#but also not the point but anyone who says nami in particular doesnt get real fights/is unskilled um... no you're wrong read her fight in#alabasta & then all of skypeia.#like in alabasta she takes on arguably a stronger opponent than sanji when considering the structuring of BW. not only that but she does s#with a weapon she has never used before while actively reading the instruction manual. and she WINS. she wins based on sheer intellect &#the ability to utilize skills the audience already knows she has. the pre-existing basic fighting skills she's introduced with are elabora#-ed upon by incorporating her skill w navigation. same with the way her cunning is used in skypeia to cover her lack of sheer brute. &#the best part about it is she's fucking tough in a way that makes sense! she isn't strong/weak just for the sake of positioning her as such#it is thoughtful & it strengthens her as a character rather than just like giving the power-scaler types smth to mindlessly chew on.#like do i wish nami got to fight more & take a more active role in that regard even if i don't think she needs to be a fighter in the same#sense as the monster trio? yes absolutely. i'm guessing this is going to be smth that bothers me potentially even more with robin.#but that does not mean her fights are not masterfully written when she gets them or that she isn't tough as a bag of nails.#respect my darling woman or die.#skypeia#nico robin#nami#grey's one piece tag

The fact that after Dr Moumita was brutally raped and killed, yet to recieve a smidge of justice and evidence was even purposely destroyed to deter the investigation, people went to porn sites to search her name and find photos/ videos of her last moments alive. Recently found out this apparently happens everytime a case of someone being sexually assaulted/ killed goes "viral".
The thing is that its not exactly shocking to me, but it still makes my skin crawl. People are out here protesting and trying to get her justice, meanwhile others are doing this.
#also the amount of pure racism coming from this case#i actually have so much to say on it. i know that south asian culture has a fat misogyny problem HOWEVER.#i think the amount of rapes/ crimes against women is so high more because of corrupt government. them being unwilling to pass/ enforce laws-#to protecy women. that also obviously has links to misogynistic culture but that's not an excuse for racism at all.#every single cultire is misogynistic and racist and homophobic ableist etc in some way#like if the laws in the west were the same as the laws in india for example. are we really going to be so naive as to say that because#the culture is different.. we wouldnt have the same/ similar rape statistics??? (or just crime against women stats)#idkkkkkkkkk#again im not diminishing the role that culture plays in it at all. or that south asia needs to fucking work on it CUS WE ABSOLUTELY DO.#im not even indian btw#anyways

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.
#literally not even a matter of like. different interpretations it's just some of y'all forget literal canon events that disprove shit#i get schooled by people abt den too i have my weaknesses w writing him#but like oh my god#some of y'all would be better off if you looked at him outside of a macden context#he's not evil incarnate#he's fucked up and he does awful shit#but that is a little boy wearing an adult face#to just make him evil for no reason completely removes any interesting bits of him.#one of the keys to sunny's writing is that#rcg always makes sure that motivation is understandable *in that character's eyes*#dennis has a very specific purpose for everything he does#he isn't just cruel for no fucking reason#he's 'brutally honest' because he thinks its his duty to break the news#he's absolutely entitled and arrogant and misogynistic#but he doesn't set out to be Mean just for the sake of it#den thinks he is doing good. he thinks he's in the right. its not him it's everyone else.#he's doing you a favour by saying you're ugly (and propping up his own decimated self esteem)#that being said he's also not innocent pookie either#but i would say its like. in a lot of ways he IS oblivious to the reality of what hes saying/doing#part of that is his privilege as a white man who grew up being supported by and continues to be supported by his parent's wealth#but the gang enables the shit he does just as frank financially enables him#they are so insular it's like impossible to break out of the gang and interact with normal people#because if they don't get it then dennis is going straight back to the gang to feel validated and to hell w everyone else#on some level he knows shit is unacceptable but he's never learned Why and never will because theres no reason to#like when mac is completely fucking shocked by den talking abt the implication dennis CANNOT let that go unchecked#he needs mac to understand him because he's realizing that it's *actually* fucked up. bc even mac thinks so.#and when dee calls what happened with klinsky Rape everything IMMEDIATELY crumbles for him#dennis is introspective but he will justify shit and compartmentalize until his friends challenge it#he looks to media; tv and movies where the protagonist gets away with shit because its schlock fiction#and dennis DOES see himself as a protagonist. it's all justifiable bc he's the good guy.

It's wild how if you're passionate about your cats and talk about them a lot, you're a crazy cat lady. If you're passionate about your dogs and talk about them a lot? You're just normal. It's so fucked up.
#personally don't care if you call me a crazy cat lady#it's absolutely misogynistic#but a lot of cat people have just decided to own it#but the cat/dog dichotomy is really screwed up#and also weirdly gendered
