#misogynist bullshit

Starting shift as a 2-people team with a guy who seems okay-ish: "hm this is probably gonna be an okay-ish day"

Ending shift as a 2-people team with that guy: "I'm beginning to think he collects the hair of the women at work from their used uniforms and keeps them in a labelled folder at home. :/"

Friendly reminder that Lucy wearing revealing clothing is actually a very important part of her character

It symbolizes her freedom, from her father, from her old life, it's not simply fan-service

You're not disrespecting her by drawing her in that kind of clothes

You can love and respect a character and want them serving cunt too

[cheecats]

In light of how grossly disrespectful and dismissive some (not all) DC voters have been, here is something for a lovely lady who deserved better. [X]

It's actually really frustrating when I see a valid critique of Mizora or discussion of how Wyll deserves to be separated from her only for it to be undermined by comments about her looks. Y'all don't need to become misogynists to defend Wyll. you know that right.

Our response to Mizora-centric Wyll content, or to someone not taking the abuse Wyll faces seriously because it's Mizora, should never be "but Mizora isn't even attractive", because regardless, that isn't the issue and just distracts from the topic by suggesting it would be understandable if we found Mizora attractive (Bad!!!). Our response should be hey, actually, it's really fucked up that a Black man's abuse is sexualised at all.

The way we watch Alicent get pimped out by her dad, sworn to secrecy by the king, forced into a marriage with the same man (who isold enough to be her dad), maritally raped by said old ass husband & forced to carry his heirs in quick succession, all while still growing up herself and losing her only friend…….yet somehow, someway, there are people out there who………blame Alicent…the child? Book!Alicent is a different story, but to sit and WATCH show!Alicent go through all of this manipulation and grooming and abuse, and hate her?! Yeah some of y’all are sick 😭 I’m not even joking because like…..what?!

We are supposed to feel bad for Rhaenyra being forced to marry………but not Alicent? Why? Someone tell me why & quickly!! And don’t you dare say “sHE seDucEd vISerYs”, no, she was manipulated and then told to keep it secret by her king! He knew it was wrong yet didn’t gaf, so where is his hate? Are we being hypocrites guys?

We are supposed to feel bad for Rhaenyra & her kids, but not Alicent & hers who were ignored and treated like shit? Once again where is Viserys’ hate? QUICKLY, tell me!!! He’s neglecting his kids guys, we don’t support that do we?

We are supposed to hate Alicent for how she treated Rhaenyra, but not Rhaenyra for how she treated Alicent? (Especially when it was shown Alicent was trying and she didn’t become hateful until RHAENYRA LIED to her) Why, tell me, tell me, tell me. And don’t you dare say “sHE BEtRayEd hEr bY mARryInG ViSeRYs” SHE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE!!! If we know Rhaenyra didn’t and we feel oh so bad for her, and we know most noble women don’t have a choice, then why are we mad at Alicent like she did? tell me please I BEG!

We scream girl boss for Rhaenyra wanted a son for a son, sorry make that sons for a son, yet Alicent is Beelzebub for wanting Justice for her son (WHO WAS A KID!!!! He hadn’t done shit yet, he was sweet and dragonless & got bullied, then maimed, YOU WOULD BE MAD TOO, lie & say you wouldn’t 😐) anyone who doesn’t understand Alicent’s motives behind the eye for an eye incident is either not a parent or is a heartless monster 🤷‍♀️

Y’all quite literally watched Alicent’s villain origin story and said why she so mad? Are you…..are you seriously dumb or just fucking with me? 😭

Y’all are pro Rhaenyra because she’s a “feminist” yet y’all hate every women who isn’t Rhaenyra……to me it sounds like…….✨hypocrisy✨

And how does one stand for a war against misogyny only to participate in the misogyny themselves? 🤔

The dance is a war against misogyny yet……….no one is stopping the misogyny, just dressing it up with cute excuses and throwing the blame onto the other side………..

(Also like it’s not far fetched to believe Rhaenyra would’ve had Alicent’s kids dealt with, especially since she’s hated Aegon since before he was a baby. My guy was 2 and she was beefing with bro like…. And you can’t say “AliCEnt & OtTo didN’T lEt tHeM hAVE a rElAtiOnsHIP” ummm SHOWwise that is untrue Rhaenyra just didn’t wanna fuck with them kids 😂)

When you see a horny post and it's fine but then misogyny comes out at the end and jumpscares you

[mzminola]

This is not a perfect analogy but I am making it anyway to try to convey what being online has been like for me lately.

Seeing people say "Oh, Jews are fine, I just hate zionists!" is like seeing "Oh, women are fine, I just hate feminists!"

Zionism and feminism are both very broad socio-political movements that have changed focus over time, that ostensibly have some very basic core tenets but you really need to ask the specific person you're talking to how they personally define it to be sure.

Both have been subject to legitimate criticism, and hostile reactionary bullshit. Had waves, sub-movements, splinters, people with damn near opposite views sharing the term and people with seemingly identical views rejecting it.

You can give working, broad definitions like these:

Feminism is the belief that all people should be treated equally regardless of gender, with a focus on women's rights due to systemic oppression.

Zionism is the belief that all peoples have the right to self determination and safety, with a focus on Jewish people finding it in Israel.

You can also give different definitions! Many people give different definitions! Many people also hold these beliefs but use different names for them for various reasons.

There are self-described zionists who are jingoistic, racist, etc, and who attribute those attitudes to their zionism. Just as there are feminists who are misandrist, bio-essentialist, transphobic, homophobic, and so on, who attribute those attitudes to their feminism.

There are also incredibly selfless, compassionate activists working for positive change in the world who consider themselves zionists and feminists.

It has been very jarring to see people, who I respect, uncritically reblogging posts or headlines that use "zionists" as a stand in for "bad people", just as jarring as it would be to see them sharing things that use "feminists" that way. Especially when those posts contain easily debunked conspiracy theories that I know you'd have seen right through if the OP said "Jews" but because they said "zionists" you swallowed it whole.

I am not asking anyone to stop sharing important information, petitions, news articles, resources, and so on. I am asking you to slow down and stop spreading inflammatory language that paints a broad socio-political movement for Jewish self-determination as inherently bad. The same way I would ask you not to spread inflammatory language that paints gender equality & women's liberation as inherently bad.

If the information is important, please look for other, more neutrally worded posts. Or verify the links yourself and make a fresh post! There is no situation online in which the only way to share information must be to spread such language.

I can't fucking believe yall were up Rings of Power's ass when HotD decided to have Our Lady of Sorrows of Westeros cause a civil war because she forgot her own trashbag of a son was named after Aegon the Conqueror and she took a dying man's rambling about some pretty fundamental history as him designating him as heir. Like, I'm supposed to think this lady is smart. What even.

And if any Alicent stans want to come for me I want you to seriously sit down. And think about how your fave is written. How she reacts to things. How she processes information. Like, this is someone who's been in court for 20+ years and still doesn't get the basics. I hate Philippa Gregory's books with a passion but Mary Boleyn was a smarter bitch than this. This is a writers' problem.

[kirkwallguy]

sorry. it's still so insane to me that your two options in dai as a gay man are guy whose entire storyline is about homophobia or the badly written bdsm bisexual

[soryualeksi]

There is this primal horror to getting read as "one of us" enough that guys you thought were okay-ish? to be around start "talking women" to you.

I wonder if people know that being a BL fangirl was looked down upon in Japan (when BL was basically a thing only in Japan) once upon a time.

I remember I told my Japanese friend in high school after we already were very good friends and I trusted her that I was into yaoi and shonen ai and let me tell you the way her face went -_-

Like I knew I’d made a mistake sharing that with her the moment I said it. And then we did have a good conversation around it where she asked me what I liked about it and then she told me a little bit about how people in Japan view women like me and it boiled down to ‘will never be happy with a man’ and ‘has difficult standards’ like this was not a girl that hated BL or people that watched them but she was like hmm yeah those are generally weird girls and men usually steer clear of them and I was just like I guess yeah I am a weird girl (still in closet).

I don’t know where this misogynistic BL started as for and by straight women idea comes from - that even Jojo is peddling - but that has just NEVER been true. Women have been soft coded as lesbians and/ or otherwise sexual perverts and deviants for loving BL since the genesis of BL AND so many of them were in fact queer (I certainly was).

Making and loving BL has always been a labor of love undertaken despite the risks of being socially ostracized. But the fact that queer men try to edge queer women out of our shared history and ownership of BL is sadly not surprising to me. Just look at the sheer number of sapphics occupying the BL sphere right now and show me evidence that this is new because my lived experience has only ever proved the contrary. And yet it’s such a core part of EVERYONE’S belief in this fandom.

Maybe the reason you’re being called a pick me isn’t because you have trans masc friends but actually because you hold anti feminist view points

[thenighttimeparadise]

Do you ever think about how in cartoons or in animated movies, when there's a male characters and they make a female character to be with him at some sequel movie or some shit, she always looks exactly like him but with make up, long hair, lashes, and usually a dress?

Sometimes it's like we see women as people that wear make up and dresses, and there are so many things wrong with that I can't even begin to explain them all.

"News spread quickly across all of Prythian, about the sudden elopement of the wretched, volatile Berron Vanserra, nephew and only heir to the High Lord of Autumn. The male reached three hundred yet still took no consort. Not merely an elopement, but a mating ceremony, at that. Word of how he then ripped his little mate's fiancé apart, challenging the younger male to a Blood Duel as cruel as the soil of the Court they inhabit. The young female in question being the lady Abella. How he carried his little mate away, and no one present at the hasty ceremony could tell if the young female was laughing or screaming as he took her away from watchful eyes and then claimed her, still coated in the dead males blood. It was a blessed union by the Mother nonetheless, the birth of the youngest Vanserra, Eris, just a mere year later being proof of that. No one in Prythian could predict that shortly after Beron would take place as High Lord after his uncle's sudden passing, or how close and near he would keep his young Lady of Autumn, the closest thing a male as could have to an equal. Or that young, bright eyed Eris would be the first born of a long, long line of heirs."

@foxcort is this anything ;-;. This is practically AU fanfic territory but acotar is bare bones of a story held together by fans

Whenever I see the Beast on Disney villain merch of any kind, I wanna bite someone. Like, tell me you completely missed the themes of Beauty and the Beast 1991 without telling me you missed the themes of Beauty and the Beast 1991.
