most critics of heroine x villain ships are unknowingly performative, recycling patriarchal ideas of female goodness without ever questioning the cage. it is a masterclass in devastating subservience disguised as feminist critique. you can mute all the faux-progressive language about romanticising toxic relationships, and their arguments would still reek of gut-churning fear and conformity. i feel bad for them. truly. but punishing other women for stepping outside the rigid lines of acceptable womanhood is dystopian. fandoms are not surveillance states. no woman needs permission to enjoy the transgressive. no woman needs to beg forgiveness for enjoying her favourite stories.

Their analysis rarely manages to explain the psychological reasoning behind the appeal of those dynamics and also, lacks the good faith to engage with them honestly. They default to the most sensational conclusion possible (ex. These women secretly want to be brutalized in real-life) to justify their thinly veiled contempt. The idea of deriding women is more appealing to them than actually doing any real analysis to understand the dynamic they mock.

Especially when they claim: “You need to acknowledge that these dynamics are toxic!” As if people are obligated to explain themselves to some random stranger who proclaimed themselves as an authority on personal taste. It’s a very paternalistic attitude that just reads as a group of people trying to moralize and enforce their specific preferences on everyone.

Stumbled across some interesting in-depth commentary on r/roberteggers with regards to Orlok's mustache, and its role in Orlok's development as a character both on and off-screen.

I saw a post calling the surprise coffin elevator ending of WWDITS tonally inconsistent with the rest of the show, and like, this is a great example of why fandoms are never satisfied. Fandom brain talks about a thing so much that eventually they invent a version of the show that doesn’t exist, and then get upset when they return to the source material.

I think the show ended wonderfully. There was always going to be the question of how to end a show like this. The nature of vampires is that they don’t change. I’m glad the show hung a light on it, while also clearly demonstrating that, actually, the vampires have. Guillermo and Nandor are equals now. They will continue to live and go on adventures but we won’t stick around to see them. I think the final episode gave us a couple different ending options, and I’m glad they ended on the most inconclusive, but also the funniest.
