#jk it's misogyny

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

Hey uh quick question:

Does Mary Jane canonically have any other past love interests?

I was just thinking how many romantic interests Peter's had in the past.

Mary-Jane being the most popular of them all, followed by Gwen Stacy, Felicia Hardy (Black Cat), and Betty Brant.

This list also is missing Cindy Moon aka Silk, in which Peter and her had a sexual but not fully romantic relationship.

Then I realized, does Mary Jane have any exes?

Like.. an ex-boyfriend? Or a dude she's actually shown having a full relationship with, like he is with Gwen.

Recently in the comics we got Paul - but he was horribly written, and they glossed over how they got together, the kids they seem to be raising together, etc etc, for the sake of drama.

In Spider-man 2 we see her engaged to John Jameson, but he's a fucking cardboard cutout of a person with barely any plot weight and no relationship development.

I mean REAL exes we see her have a connection or at least complex relationship with - in the way he does Felicia.

Felicia has exes - A LOT. Flash Thompson, her and Cindy Moon have a thing, Matt Murdock, etc.

But then again, Felicia is portrayed as the 'sneaky city girl' and MJ as the lovely loyal faithful girl in the chair back home.

As soon as Peter start irking her Felicia be like:

😭😭😭😭

WHAT ABOUT MJ?!

please don't tell me they're playing my girl.

Peter and her breakup over some weird ass reason like once every run - but no exes??

Am I missing something?

You'd think the insanely talented actress/journalist with the bombshell looks and amazing humor would be having more luck on the dating scene then Peter's broke ass- you know what lemme not 😭😭😭😭

If Peter has a bunch of exes but MJ has none....

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.

My mom decided to weigh in on this, on the side of the Italian boxer, thinking I'd allow her to repeat bullshit talking points for some reason (never have allowed that shit, especially not from someone who raised me not to tolerate racism or anything that ends with someone being put down)...I made her stay on the line until she admitted she was wrong.

Reblogs were off when I got here so I'm putting it back on the market.

[tra-archive]

A tra man posted “I hope someone murders this bitch” about JKR and the Twitter terfs found his address, phone number and job😭He was reported to the cops and they emailed his company lmaoo. Btw he posted his address PUBLICLY on his Twitter, which imo might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen anyone do on there.

Funniest part is he then deleted the tweet, made all his tweets private, then played victim and said JKR doxxed him (she had no part in posting any personal info btw). I noticed this about her haters a lot…they will come at her and say some horrible misogynistic shit, and then when she fires back, they cry and say “she sent her followers after me!” Like dude, just because she’s famous doesn’t mean you get to get away with misogyny and death threats. Don’t get mad when she acknowledges you.

I deleted that cesspool app but if you want to see this ugly ass dude and his profile then go to JKR’s Twitter account!

This is really good, please watch it.

Hermione marrying Ron Weasley is conclusive evidence that Joanne Rowling hates women

[thetimelordbatgirl]

If you still somehow believe JK Rowling is a feminist even after all the shit she's been doing that does not benefit women's rights at all: Daily reminder she will be a bitch to any woman that tells her to stop being transphobic, but as soon as Elon Musk, a man, tells her to maybe post some more positive content instead of constant transphobia, she suddenly will do exactly that.

Percy Jackson and Harry Potter

We need to talk about the simple fact that Percy Jackson, while being as good as Harry Potter if not a little better, is nearly as problematic as Harry Potter.

If you are in the PJO fandom or you do anything related to PJO, you have absolutely no right to criticise people for liking and doing things related to Harry Potter.

Why? Well, Rick is a misogynistic and racist man whose portrayals of POC and WOC is straight up fucked at times.

HE USED FUCKING WORLD WAS TWO AS A PLOT POINT. HE REDUCED TO A FIGHT BETWEEN THE SONS OF FUCKING GREEK GODS.

The Greeks were heavily affected by World War II. To make their enemies, the Nazis, children of the Greek Gods..........I can't even use WORDS to describe how egregious that is.

He portrays Piper and Hazel in a racist way by giving them light coloured eyes and hair to make them look more attractive when dark hair and eyes would have sufficed.

He portrays his Chinese character (Frank Zhang) as chubby but has his fatness magically go away when he glows up. Fatphobia.

And Frank Zhang is the only major Asian character in the series. The rest are minor characters, with them either being downright mean (Mrs Chase, Drew Tanaka, Sherman Yang) or them barely having a personality and only the most BASIC personality traits. (Emily Zhang who's dead and we barely know anything about her except that she's a loving and caring mother. Alice Miyazawa whom we barely know anything about except that she likes to prank people. Billie Ng who's kind, caring and helpful.)

That's all. They're minor characters who barely show up. That is not representation.

Hazel, the main black character, died decades ago and somehow spent DECADES in what was essentially solitary confinement because she couldn't talk to anyone without going mad.

I will state that there are other black characters besides Hazel that have screen time and a personality-Austin Lake and Josephine from TOA. Blitzen from Magnus Chase. Carter and Sadie Kane from the Kane Chronicles are biracial (White mother, black father) and it briefly touches on their struggles.

He depicts nearly all his fat characters as ugly and violent. The one good fat character loses his fat in his glow up (Frank again).

He takes an ADULT NYMPH in the original myths and turns her into a teenager AND PUTS HER IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER TEENAGER, WHICH IS STRAIGHT UP PREDATORY.

He's sexist in nearly every portrayal of his female. His misogyny is too long for one post only, so I will trust you to SEARCH IT UP. And please, please inform yourself on this if you don't already know.

And don't get me started on how well he's able to write TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS. Nearly every major relationship in the PJO franchise (Percabeth, Caleo, Jiper, Solangelo). Luke and Thalia were originally great, but he rammed their relationship bloody against the rocks.

And the one good relationship (Frazel) without ANY toxic behaviour WHATSOEVER has a controversial age gap (I'm not saying that it's bad, I'm saying that it's controversial because some people like it and some people don't.)

AND he straight up wrote it to be 3 years even if it was only 2 years apart, which is still controversial.

When asked and confronted about Samirah and Piper's racist stereotypes, he blatantly denies doing that.

Not to mention, besides all of this, HE TAKES AND BASTARDISES GREEK CULTURE AND THE PORTRAYAL OF THE GODS.

If you think Rick's Greek Gods are the real thing and have only read about Greek Mythology through PJO, do yourself and the rest of us a favour and don't think that Rick's egregious interpretations of the Greek Gods are actually the real Greek Gods.

(Not saying that you're bad if PJO was your first introduction to Greek Mythology-please just don't think that the PJO Greek Gods are the real ones. Read the OG Greek myths.)

He forcibly outs his main gay character and the forcible outer doesn't receive any consequence despite Rick being in a position to do this, leaving many queer readers with a sour taste in their mouth.

Rick Riordan is disgusting and pathetic and he's only a little better than JK Rowling. Keep that in mind when you yell at Harry Potter fans from your PJO corner next time.

I just remembered the time I was a summer camp counselor and I tried to read the first Harry Potter book aloud to my campers, and I had to skip over so many fatphobic lines

Because why would I just expose these perfectly nice kids to a bunch of mean comments, played off as comedy, that they would use as ammunition against other kids and themselves? It's just plain cruel. Joanne was incredibly fucking weird for that

[iphigeniastrangeworth]

me: yeah i have a vagina and uterus and all but my testosterone levels are naturally pretty high-
