like looking at ur favorite media through a feminist lens or in the context of gender theory is so much fun i love to pick apart the shows that i watch. let's apply sociolinguistic gender theory to al-hashimi and the way she interacts with the men around her. how does [REDACTED] use male characters to explore how women are affected by misogyny. how do x reader writers negotiate gender roles? omegaverse? don't get me started on criminal minds... like it's fun to look at things through a critical lens.... people just think it's inherently tiring or combative because they want to hold onto the privilege of not thinking about systems of power

really annoying that robby's latent misogyny and the misogyny of the writing team is so controversial of a topic because if people were actually open to discussing it without treating it as character hate there could be so much said about how misogyny manifests in the workplace, how misogyny affects people's view of nurses, how misogynoir is rendered invisible, etc. why do the writers have robby refer to the pitt as being his er? why does dana emphasize that emma is one of her nurses as a challenge to this? what assumptions does robby make about baran before he gets to know her? why does he give whitaker relative free rein with patients and let him teach med students as an intern, as opposed to female characters who have more experience? why did whitaker assume in s1 that a black female patient was drug-seeking, and then take a white male patient at his word later on? when it comes to the writing in general, why did the writers decide to cast a black woman as the profit-obsessed hospital director? why were so many aspects of black motherhood excluded from collins's storyline? discussing the biases present in media that you enjoy is like the baseline for feminist critique i need everyone to start being serious people rn

i think i don't really vibe with most other fans of my favorite male characters is because they usually depict them too much of a man, and i am not interested in men, i am interested in The Character. and i am not saying that they should depict them as women, or nonbinary, or should depict them as feminine, no, not at all. but there's like, you know, you can depict a male character as The Character, and you can depict them as The Man. do you get me? like, i go to the fandom looking for art and fics, and it's just, regardless of his actual characterization, it's all just fantasizing about some kind of an abstract dominant patriarch, wearing my favorite character's face. it may be the most totally-wouldnt-have-normal-relationships (and sometimes even would-literally-abuse-you) kind of guy, and you join a dedicated space for his fans, and all they talk about is how they want to marry and start a tradcore 50s style nuclear family with him. it can be a guy who's arrogance and attempts of domination are explicitly shown to be a facade that hide the fact that he's actually kind of a massive pathetic wet loser, and you go to his fics, and they're all depicting him as a caricaturish daddy dom. at this point it's like, do you even like the character at all, or do you just like The Man, and project this man onto whatever character you find visually attractive? and these people kind of, really really poison actual discussion of the character, who is kind of a fucked up evil person (i only like *those* types, so im talking about them) because they see analysis of the actual character as an attack on their fantasized daddy dom husband, who is actually isn't The Character at all, and is simply a face of the day for The Man

discourse abt bisexual women bringing men into "lesbian spaces" is so unserious because 1. i will always feel safer around bisexual women of color and their bfs than i will around cis white lesbians 2. are you including trans men in your definition of men or are you just associating amab bodies with danger 3. name one actual lesbian space that you occupy outside of your friend group's discord server

extremely delighted by the idea of mel having zero gaydar whatsoever and receiving an "lol gay" comment from trinity and genuinely losing sleep over it until she approaches robby with concerns that "a colleague may hold prejudiced opinions against a certain demographic of patients"

[blossom2blossom]

mel does go to langdon for advice on this btw and she opens the conversation with "i want to consider her a friend, but i'm rlly worried... have you ever had problems with santos?" and langdon is like WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU. and mel is like "she didn't tell me anything but i'm concerned that there might be.. homophobia...." and it confuses langdon so much he forgets to have a panic attack

boyd also a victim of the Turning Black Characters Into Cops epidemic

[blossom2blossom]

my criticisms of individual characters from FROM (2022)

boyd: easily the most fleshed out of the characters and his actor is pretty good but his motivations were still really vague and his relationship with ellis really fell flat

ellis: unrealistic, no male only child would ever be that concerned about his mother's mental health

kristi: the acting........

sarah: poster child for undiagnosed ocd. was sort of interesting until they tried to make her normal

jim: nothing burger

tabitha: nothing burger, very clearly a Mother as viewed through the eyes of white men so she lacks any true motivation or emotion

ethan: should've died in episode 1

julie: nothing burger

randall: a Schoolyard Bully archetype you'd find in a junie b jones book

fatima: her writing in relation to ellis is so jilted and lacking in chemistry that i thought the writers were dropping hints at a comphet arc and lesbianism reveal but it turns out they literally do just think a woman would agree to marry her boyfriend in hell. also the writers giving that backstory to the only brown woman on their cast was nasty work

jade: unfortunately a pretty realistic depiction of what tech bros are like irl so he's an annoying nothing burger

kenny: idk how else to word this but his crush on kristi feels like comphet

[blossom2blossom]

binge-watched FROM... i think it suffers from Attack on Titan Disease where it opens with a really engaging premise but then fails to actually deliver on that premise in its attempts to expand its own lore. like it really did not need to be about finding all the answers, i will always prefer episodes where they're just stranded outdoors and trying to survive LOL maybe that's just personal preference... but why make the monsters so scary if you never actually show characters stranded outside with them? they allude to the days when they had to hide in bushes and shit, i actually wanted to see that instead of characters getting lucky and finding shelters or tunnels all the time... like someone climb a tree or something i want to see what happens!!!

and i really tried to like the cast of characters but they all felt very shallowly written with really vague motivations and the actors weren't skilled enough to compensate for the lack of depth like boyd's actor was acting CIRCLES around the rest of them. they just felt like hollow trope shells... also that white family needed to die IMMEDIATELY i don't understand why survival shows always need some fuckass white nuclear family because they were trying to tug at the heartstrings and i just did not care. none of the mother-daughter conflicts were interesting, the little boy was annoying and nosy, the girl sort of had potential but then they didn't make her yuri out with fatima so what was the point of it all, i didn't gaf about the parents so their screentime was irrelevant... the actual f/f couple is two white girls so they're useless to me.... from beginning to end jade was annoying as fuck... overall i really wanted to like it because the premise of the monsters scares the shit out of me but they really lost me with everything else that they tried to include

a solid 4/10 for me and every one of those points comes from the reveal of how boyd's wife died because i'll give it to the creators i was FLABBERGHASTED like i could only laugh from hysteria and disbelief during the reveal that was SO crazy and i loved it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 but everything else..... ultimately sort of nothing burger

[blossom2blossom]

people crying about posts that say robby should kill himself are so unserious like those comments are literally just supporting his hopes and dreams. just because a man is suicidal you're against affirming his goals and encouraging him...? so much for respecting mentally ill people smh

[blossom2blossom]

my hot take will always be that i LOVE fictional mothers who beat their sons
