As a former young teenage girl who was obsessed with Captain Jack Sparrow and idolized Johnny Depp, I now as an adult, realize he is complete garbage.

I love how he let him cry, told him, “We cry as men” and didn’t hit him with the whole, “Big boys don’t cry” mess. That was lovely. 

[mrbowtiefly]

Phenomenal. Allowed him to emote, then worked with him to understand the what and the why.

I love this

[bougiebussy]

Eh, while it’s great that these characters are independent, something about all these princesses of color not finding love at the end of their movies rubs me the wrong way. Just like how Disney patted itself on the back for a black princess but she was Frogger damn near the whole movie.

[esinahs-deactivated20180730]

And it would’ve been a great opportunity to cast moc in romantic roles from that culture :/

[itsmikuisa]

^^^ I’m so conflicted because yes, always having a love interest is annoying but poc never get to have a love interest

[ororomunroedontpullout]

Having the princesses of color not find love reinforces the idea that we have to strong and independent and aren’t needing of any support

But I do like it because it deviates from the norm

[ida-b-wells-b-whippin-yo-ass-de]

It might be cool if they had dudes in the movie who were interested and they had the princesses be like, “naw, I got shit to do, but maybe later!”

[seekingwillow]

Cause then it would obviously be a choice, instead of a worldstate that WoC don’t get hetero love (I’m not even gonna wish for queer love).

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

This is actually a good example of the need for intersectional feminism.

 it is very common that white girl characters have love interests and finding love be the plot line and basis for all their stories and interactions.

It is uncommon for a girl character of color to be seen as a potential love interest, in need of defense by a male character and/or support from a male character full stop.

This is because of the history of social devaluation of woc and infantilization of white women.

Thusly:

 it is subversive for white female characters to not have love interests for once and to focus on strength outside of male attention.

while at the same time 

is it subversive for woc to be love interests and treated with care and reverence and with support in relationships on screen. 

The “norms” for two groups of women are different based on the historical interaction both groups have had to suffer under patriarchal and sexist/racist media. 

This is why its okay to feel hurt and roll your eyes when you see people screaming about how michonne from the walking dead “dont need no man” because she’s too “strong” to want to be desired and cared for,  while at the same time feel hurt and roll your eyes when Black Widow is suddenly too helpless to get herself free from a basic ass cage and needs to be rescued by her randomly inserted love interest.

[beecups-deactivated20171013]

Why isn’t using sign language more common in society? like??? Not even just communicating within deaf communities but for everybody to use with anybody?

I feel like this should be standard learning material for those working in loud workplaces or with machinery, or maybe idk for talking underwater or when someone else can’t hear you at a concert. Or what about when somebody is having a panic attack and can’t talk, or just isn’t all that comfortable with voicing their feelings?

Why isn’t nonverbal communication more integrated into our society? Cause it should be.

[totalariana]

I honestly can’t deal with second hand embarrassment in tv shows and movies very well I’ll literally pause it, internally scream, and come back in ten years
