DC supervillain of the week who traps the justice league(in their league disguises) in a reality tv show like love island. it airs on tv and everything like they use supervillain powers to forcefully broadcast "love island: justice league edition" while the supers have to try and figure out how to escape. during a personal squabble wondy steps up and says "everyone calm down, we're all a team, we each have our strengths and weaknesses, we need to work together to solve this" and then it cuts to her talking head segment and she says "im not a fan of green lantern."

I hope this devastating and complete shitshow of a result is, if nothing else, enough of a final straw to ensure that this vile and disgusting woman is NEVER on a Formula One broadcast EVER again. There are so many insightful and knowledgeable women in motorsport and F1 that deserve the platform and spotlight, but Danica Patrick absolutely does not.

i think that if you find yourself penning a post arguing that women are intrinsically too sentimental/hysterical/emotional/intellectually shallow/sexually frigid/otherwise deficient to have valid opinions about a fictional male character (excepting, of course, those women who agree entirely with your opinions), you should perhaps stop and ask yourself 'am i committing a misogyny in the name of winning a stupid ship war on tumblr dot com?'

and then you should shut the fuck up.

Do you guys ever think about how in Altean culture pink symbolises honouring fallen soldiers, so Allura being born with pink markings meant she always doomed to become a fallen solider??? cause I do and I don't like it

dragon age in general. why the fuck are you like that about the qunari and the qun.

also to be clear. i really like naruto and think it’s a good manga. it is not a guilty pleasure or “almost good” to me. i think kishimoto had a really compelling story to tell about grief and love and naruto and sasuke, and he got to tell it. unfortunately he also ended up talking about women and politics for a while there. but even then his clumsiness is honestly kind of interesting to me, and i don’t think it ruins the heart of the story !

[aprito]

the older i get the less i understand why people complain so much about sakura's lack of sex appeal in the anime when the fanbase response is to double down on the hyper feminization and sexualisation making kishimoto look like a moderate feminist and pierrot canon compliant in comparison.

I have to hear a lot of crap from people IRL about me working as an artist from home because so many people don't see it as a "real" job if I'm not on that soul-sucking corporate grind. but getting called anti feminist is a new one LMAO

It's kind of impressive how people can watch something, see a character repeatedly established as a liar and manipulator, and then believe stuff they say and take it as truthful or believe it makes them "more justified"

Like...Palpatine, proven liar, master manipulator, that's his PRIMARY CHARACTER TRAIT, badmouths the Jedi, and a bunch of viewers just went "yeah, that checks out".

Peter Hale, repeatedly said to be the least trustworthy person imagineable, Satan in a V-neck, makes claims about his own strength compared to Scott, and despite him definitely being a paper tiger, a bunch of viewers went, "yeah, that checks out." And write off Scott as far weaker than he actually is.

"Maybe Zaheer had a point" Uh...no shit, that was the problem. He was not wrong that the Earth Queen was a terrible ruler, but his solution of ANARCHY is not better, it's just a different type of problem. Just because someone can identify a systemic problem, doesn't mean you should trust them to have the solution. Republicans in modern America occasionally identify real problems, like a crisis with mental health. But their "solutions" are only going to make the problem WORSE. Just like Zaheer mudering an 18 year old currently doing her best to spread peace and prosperity is not justified just because the Earth Kingdom monarchy was a mistake...killing Korra is just making things even worse.

I got a little off track there, but I hope the point still came across...

men can and will talk abt wnba players' looks first and make it sound like they're models and not athletes, but immediately scrutinize and deride women for being fans of men's sports bcs they think they're only in it for the handsome looks and don't value a person's skill outside that, and that's a valid reason for alienating and rejecting their opinion because that's a bad thing to do objectively

[long-claw]

continuation from where i talk about fire and blood's "accuracy" here:

i really don't agree that fire and blood is biased towards team green (or team black) because i think it does an honest job of explaining when propaganda and rumours are just that and that it holds up plenty of team black in a favourable light and team green in an unfavourable one.

i don't think it disregards rhaenyra's claim outright, nor do i think it heavily endorses aegon's. i think it subscribes heavily to the "heroes and villains on both sides" idea.

the main argument for fire and blood being team green is that it paints rhaenyra specifically in a pretty negative way (particularly towards the end), mostly by writing her with pretty sexist tropes, but (in my opinion) not in a way that disregards her claim, but in the same way that most of the women in fire and blood are written and slandered.

i also want to propose that it's not some made up maester writing rhaenyra in a sexist way for a made up political agenda... but that grrm wrote her in a sexist way. because in all honesty the way she's written that people have (valid) complaints about are very similar to traits cersei has that i don't see people complain about in the same way: gaining weight, increasingly paranoid, an obsessive mother but not a particularly good one.

(to be clear i'm not saying gaining weight is a negative trait, i'm saying it's painted as one in both fire and blood and asoiaf, which is a problem in and of itself)

so ultimately i don't think it's as cut and dry as "fire and blood is team green propaganda" but i do think as much as a lot of the sexism is intentional from grrm for storytelling purposes, that doesn't mean he isn't an unintentional perpetrator as well.

One of my favorite ass quest scenes and the one time Fitz correctly identified whether something was or was not his fault in perhaps his entire life.
