(not allowed to reply or tag you for some reason i hope you just see this post lmao)

oh yeah no it's absolutely a problem of women not being allowed to be just some guy. i personally have only submitted 1 woman myself cause i just don't know characters that are just some guy and also aren't men. i hope everybody knows i am not trying to make anyone feel guilty about not submitting women because this is a problem a little bit outside our control, but i do want to constantly be bringing up the women thing so its on peoples minds and we can boost the numbers a little bit. im gonna be making an effort to make sure women get into the tournament no matter what so people can be more exposed to women who are just some guy in media <3 i just need people to submit women so i can include them lmao. if it'll make the tiniest bit of difference to how people think about female characters then it'll have been worth it

#-mx narrative #some guy joust #i fully expected this to happen when i came up with this tournament #so if anybodys super worried about like. being a good feminist or whatever and not submitting women #hey. hey its literally fine #this is a media problem #it is also something you should be aware of in your own biases but it is also true women aren't generally #allowed to be Just Some Guy #my proof for this is the oc tournament. its 50% men and like. 45% women maybe depends on how you count one of them #when people make homemade guys women are allowed to be just some guy!#but larger media doesn't let them be just some guys nearly as often :/#as for the nonbinary characters i will be honest i didn't think we'd get Any im pleasantly surprised #the bars low but at least its being surpassed
