“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

— Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post. (via 360degreesasthecrowflies)

#Shit I say this stuff all the time#Default is not male#Women are not a different species from men#It’s a toaster it’s make believe it can be whatever you fucking want it to be#Also voice actors get cast in the ‘wrong’ gender roles all the time#Do you know how many little boy characters are played by women#Do you know how many little boy characters are played by *Tara Strong*???#I did not watch an anime in which an adult man is played by a woman VA for 90 fucking episodes in the 90s#To have to suffer the stringent gender opinions of men who feel too threatened by the idea that a woman could be their equal

[prismatic-bell]

In most very-little-kids media you could literally decide a character’s gender by flipping a coin, because at that age they’re literally just learning they’re alive.

Why, then, are so many teams still boy-heavy?

The top 80 best things about Paul McCartney:

the pure joy of him

that he smells like home

everything his lyrics don't mean

his voice obviously

linda

his refusal to modestly pretend the beatles weren't that good

how often he slept with John

how much he wants to tell you how often he slept with John

how much space he holds for him

being self-aware that he likes a bit of adulation sometimes

being self-aware about NOTHING ELSE

his eyebrows let's be serious

sitting on his hands

his love of buses

how he is palpably at least twenty different people

none of them boring

his oral fixation

his terrible beautiful relationship with george

how turned on he is by all the world

his very happy childhood

every iteration of his facial hair

when he's not in a laughing mood even

she can be a diplomat but I don't need a girl like that

his entire wardrobe in 1967

"i'm a golden garter"

the exclamation mark in oh! darling

the factory sounds on silly love songs

when he looked after someone's dog for a few weeks and changed its name

luigi and mr blendini

the soft perfection of mullet

"that's why I'm talking to John and not you"

owing it to his mum to still be himself

chopping the onions because he doesn't like to see linda cry

wearing his children inside his jacket

touching pianos

being vaguely bothered when people know more than him

"What's it like to be father to an 8yo girl?" "It's a terrible burden."

all of mmt but especially the magicians

the shape of him on stage

how much happiness his music holds

how easily it tears your heart out

doodling beatle logos in his little notebook

having a flat out breakdown in front of an entire film crew because to go and have his breakdown in private would be to admit he was having a breakdown

making guitar picks from pennies on the railway tracks

"we were all in love with John"

needing permission to be tired

casually not getting addicted to hard drugs

"prick him, and a song wells up"

his connection to the universe

his utter trust in it

heaven being a trip to spain via paris

heyy!! ever thought about drawing flinx as their older selves? like, i know you did it for wally but this time their older selves together?

i have actually, for a whileeee now. but i still haven't decided on a concrete design yet for her and thats why i've been hesitating. but well, since you asked, i might as well propose one.

don't get too attached, i may revise it in the future lol.

[matchamilkorner]

here's another one, as a treat.

(Jinx's design is still a WIP, i may redesign in the future when I get around it again like I did my take on Wally's Flash so don't get too attached lol)

"A marriage ending isn't a failure at all. I spent eleven years with her. We were so in love that we couldn't image life apart from each other. We got our own place, adopted a dog, and supported each other through school. I thought if tow people loved each other enough the rest would fall into place, except... love isn't everything.

And I didn't want to believe that, but we were sitting in counseling one day, talking about our future and I realized we were describing two completely different lives. Where we'd live, what kind of life we wanted, what made us happy. And it hit me that- I love this woman and this woman loved me. And after eleven years of loss, grief, career changes, we were so deeply in love... but we weren't aligned. And I kept thinking 'We just need to try harder. We can find some compromise to make this work,' because that's what you're supposed to do when you love someone, right?

But the reality was, we had just become different people. Her trade school took her in one direction, my graduate degree in another and trying to force us back into who we were five years ago wasn't coming from a place of love. It was coming from a place of fear. Fear that, if this ended, it meant we wasted eleven years. But sitting there across from her, I realized: That's not how love works.

Those eleven years happened. They were real. The dog, our home, showing up for each other through grad school and trade school. I wouldn't change a single thing because loving someone doesn't mean you're meant to stay with them forever. And letting go doesn't erase what you had. We measure marriage by whether it lasts forever or not, but what if we measured it by whether it mattered?

What if we measured it by the love we gave, the life we built, and the people we became? Because love's job isn't to last forever, it's to help you become fully completely yourself, and sometimes the most loving thing you can do is give each other permission to be yourselves, separately. But the dog doesn't know were' divorced. He just gets two Christmases now."

Pulled this from this guy Preston Rakovsky's Instagram (@prestonrack) because it is a beautiful perspective on love, marriage, and relationships in general.

"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.
