going to sound like an old phone-hater but genuinely younger people NEED to get offline and read actual books bcuz yr too set in this instagram/tik-tok/everything is polished and CLEAN mindset where if anything makes you uncomfortable its evil and bad and done always with malicious intent, you cannot criticize things with two parts, nothing is ever black and white it is either GOOD or BAD never in between and this is ruining yr fucking life skills and also, annoying me. like you need to go to a used bookstore and you have to pick up an old book and read it

Like when I discovered my dad was reading gay porn by picking up his beside book

[shesnake]

like. there's so many individual scenes that are just such perfect reenactments from the books with the actors giving brilliant performances. but zoom out and those scenes are just so ill-conceived and unearned I'm going to be sick

SEMIFINALS ROUND 2

HANK HILL VS. HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS

WHOS FLATTER

HANK HILL

HARROWHARK NONAGESUMUS

Voting ended onMar 10, 2023

[no-one-s-writing]

Hank Hill may have no booty, but he is not in debt to the world for an ass. Harrowhark literally owes the world a booty. She is not flat. She is concave. It is not a smooth plain but divots. This girl ain’t got nothing there but spite, Vote Harrowhark, not because it is right but because it is true.

I’ve been reading those Locked Tomb books you hear about on the news, I’m on the second one right now and like. You know those married couples who need a divorce but have a kid instead and then use that kid as their pretext to stay together even though they hate each other? Now imagine that instead of having a kid, they adopted the two meanest girls at your high school, and instead of being a married couple, it’s one of those Toxic Polycules you hear about from the Pacific Northwest who put an ad in a queer housing group on facebook that’s like “you will live in a broom closet and all dishes will be your responsibility. Scorpios need not apply.” This is what every scene with John and the Lyctors is like.

least favorite trope is when a woman in fiction has super strength and is skinny. where's her biceps.

[lea-ts-deactivated20211009]

there’s this interesting tendency that especially young ppl have when it comes to art where they want to “consume” art by women, lgbt ppl, poc, to make themselves more feminist, anti-racist, etc, and then when they discover these artists have flaws too, that they aren’t perfect representatives of the social movement that’s being projected onto them, they don’t know what to do with that so instead of engaging with these new perspectives they return to art by straight white men who avoid saying something wrong on these topics by simply not speaking of them at all

[myboyfriendpetebuttigieg]

Most targets of “cancel culture” are women and people of color for this reason.

[courtesyname]

There’s also something very paternalistic about judging art from anyone who isn’t a white man by how flawless and “non-problematic” the representation is in their art while we judge (mostly white, mostly western) men by the metric of good prose, good characterisation, themes and narrative for example, when it comes to books. It feels as if the “universal” work is reserved for them, while everyone else gets to sit at the kids table and get an award for stuff like “book with most likeable bisexual character”.

[blueiight]

theres also an assumption that women and people of color, especially women of color, are obligated to be some moral exemplar. its like these ppl stopped seeing women& ppl of color as lesser beings and instead of seeing us as human go into another form of dehumanization instead. a parasitic sort of worship with none of its merits. we are expected to be on a near constant moralizing pulpit, mere theoretical ideas for them to develop their youth martyr arc behind. when we are human beings w complex ideas & create fictional worlds with more depth than a kid’s pool, we burst their fantasies. and all that entails. being harsher to a woman of color for having a wrong opinion or writing the “wrong thing” in fiction but letting a man or bigot of no color thrive.
