Wheat, rice, and corn are all grasses!

We're a very grass centric species.

Not just* them! Sugarcane, bamboo, oats, barley, rye, sorghum, millet, teff, wild rice (which is a different genus than domesticated rice, and lemongrass too.

And those are just the edible species! We use other species for different purposes.

*those three being responsible for at least half of the calories consumed by humans, so "just" isn't very accurate.

actually i do want more female characters who've experienced rape i just don't want men to ever write them ever again and i want all fandoms to stfu about it forever. not by ignoring it i mean stop acting like a female character experiencing something incredibly common for women to go through is inherently bad writing i hate you all so muchhhhh

idk i make this post every few months worded differently but I'm just so so sick of the popular opinion seeming to be that a character i like experiencing trauma i relate to is taboo and gross and fetishising. idk maybe some people just want to tell a story about a thing that happens to people. a lot. im going to start whining that any character with a dead parent is romanticising grief and wank off material for grief fetishists

also interesting that male characters with sexual trauma are almost always lauded as Progressive examples of Good Writing but you can't even point out the obvious signs that a female character in the exact same media has gone through the same thing without people crawling over each other to explain to you that actually that's shallow shock value writing so we should ignore it. because obviously a woman's trauma is only there for men to jerk off to and men's trauma is Real and worth exploring

another related thing i noticed. and i have no idea how to phrase this in any coherent way so apologies. its that male characters who are victims of sexual trauma are allowed to have complex feelings about it and are allowed to have had relationships with their abusers/assaulters. for them and them only its allowed to be a complex multifaceted trauma thjats not purely physical. whereas women who are written as Victims:tm: are still tied to the idea of the assaulter as a Stranger In The Night or at best an Abusive Boyfriend or any of these stock characters. they're just denied so much complexity regarding this. trauma is painted as this flat external thing and theres never room made for complex feelings of self-loathing, guilt, shame, etc
