I literally don’t know anything about the Pitt but I do think that Dr Noah Wyle should rail the medical intern that looks like a wet weasel. Both because it would be hot and also because I know the discourse on this site would be nuclear.

I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)

cyberpunk dystopia is already here for the disabled. fight for universal healthcare, fight against capitalism NOW.

I want all the abled people reading this to go price check a power wheel chair.

The future people fear with subscription fees for body parts is already here. The plot of Repo! The Genetic Opera is already here. Disabled people are already facing impossible prices for aids and treatments they need to live.

no one talks about how straight up painful it is to be the bigger person when deep in your soul you just want to be a huge bitch about it

[tiredyke]

idk as much as you can’t demand other people write what you want to read, i think it’s fair to be upset at the sheer lack of care for or presence of female characters and the prioritization of male characters and mlm relationships over wlw. “pick up a pen and write what you want to see” ok can we talk about misogyny and lesbophobia for a sec though

[majere636]

Majority of fanfiction writers are women and the majority of women are straight so they fetishize gay men instead of lesbians because they aren't attracted to women.

[tiredyke]

i wasn’t talking exclusively about fanfic (which i don’t even read but that’s beside the point). the stark lack of female characters in popular media is indicative of a larger issue in itself and we should be able to talk about why women and lesbians get zero attention, zero stories about us in the first place without dismissing concerns of misogyny and lesbophobia with “straight women are the only ones writing and creating and they’re just obsessed with men”. straight men also only write stories about men because they don’t care about women and don’t think they’re whole, complex, dimensional people who lead interesting or full lives. attraction is not the defining or leading motive for creative writing

[tiredyke]

and yeah i don’t really care about fan drama but in fan spaces, which are an extension of real life where real bigotry can proliferate as is the case with all things that don’t exist in a vacuum, people continue to fawn over mediocre white men with no personalities who had one on-screen appearance and completely disregard main women characters because “they’re boring”. at a certain point if you can’t stand to even think about women as dimensional characters that contribute anything to a story, if you can look at any man and see a multifaceted character with depth but then look at any woman and see nothing more than a cardboard cutout, then the issue is probably just misogyny, and i’m tired of giving heterosexuals a pass. sexuality doesn’t excuse not seeing women as people with as much interiority as any man

Are you pro or anti bush

he was a bad president

its a good start but i feel like he deserves worse than that

The most annoying thing about a piece of media aimed at a younger audience getting popular is when a bunch of adults start to claim that 'actually while this media can be enjoyed by children, it's not really aimed at them and is instead aimed at me, an adult'. Why are you so self conscious about enjoying media that's aimed towards children, I promise it's fine

[goingundercap]

You know how when ever someone makes a pro bush post about how it shouldn't be expected for women to shave and a bunch of people completely miss the point and feel the need to comment about how they actually shave and that's completely fine and how dare you judge them. Somehow I think the people who miss the point even more are people who comment stuff like 'omg exactly, all you need to do is trim and you'll be fine :)'

[goingundercap]

Can't decide if I should watch Arcane or not. I can not tell if it is a show that is actually good and worth watching, or a show that is just visually pleasing and teenagers are good at making edits of it

[goingundercap]

'Trans men claiming to experience misogyny are misgendering themselves' is such a strange point of view to have. I don't pass as a man, the majority of people who see me think I am a woman, even if I correct these people a lot of them still see me as a woman, or a woman who thinks she's a man, or a woman who is wrong/damaged in some way. I don't know what else I'm supposed to call a man who sees me as a woman talking down to me like he would a woman.

[goingundercap]

Seeing posts of people claiming that now the election is over people will stop caring about Palestine are gross for a lot of reasons, but it also so clearly shows how these people think the USA is the center of the universe.

'Obviously no one actually cared about a genocide occurring, it was just people trying to interfere with the US presidential election', do you guys hear yourselves

[liberal voice]: we lost because a handful of marxist-leninist bloggers on tumblr dot com didn't endorse our candidate. as we all know, the american electorate is heavily influenced by marxist-leninist bloggers on tumblr dot com. think of all the many middle-aged suburban voters who would have voted for our candidate if marxist-leninists on tumblr dot com had told them to.

[liberal voice]: if only we had pestered them more
