Fandom Misogyny Victim Tournament

Round Two, Bracket 7

Rose Tico (Star Wars) vs. Kira Yukimura (Teen Wolf)

Rose Tico

Kira Yukimura

Voting ended onJul 18

Propaganda below the cut:

Rose Tico:

They harassed the actress off of social media and made burning action figures of her a spectator sport, an incredibly popular YouTuber turned calling fat and ugly into a running gag.

She’s a nice girl who just wants to help and has a lot of anger in her heart because poor people like her are treated like crap!

I mean… we were all there, right? People threw such a big fit about her mere existence that it actually genuinely changed the American political landscape for the worse (and got her basically written out of the next movie)

She literally didn't do anything wrong. Not in an "my favorite character can do no wrong" kind of way, I just mean it's been almost ten years and I still don't know what those dudes were actually mad about. And she's cute and nice and I liked her!

The shit that happened with rose pisses me off beyond belief to this day actually and I don't even gaf about star wars anymore. The fact that not only did she get such a misogynistic and racist backlash to the point of people harassing her actress but that the films themselves capitulated to this and she was completely absent in the next film. Makes me see red fr

Seen as a threat to the finnpoe slash shippers so ofc they lashed out

Kira Yukimura:

Some fans hated her for replacing Allison (white) as Scott's love interest when she is Asian. Other fans reduce her to a cheerleader for their m/m fics.

Kira is so sweet and starts out feeling awkward and out of place but grows in confidence as the show goes on. But she also struggles with her inner kitsune and its violence. She left the show too soon!

Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The bastards just worked out a deal on the package, and they're going to try and ram it through the House in the next couple of weeks.

So, if you've been waiting to call, the time is NOW. Do it ASAP, be polite, be informed, but light up those phones like a Christmas tree!

Batman Volume 1 (1940) #392

Catwoman takes Batman dancing and to get some bubbly, as you do. More crime fighting ensues. 

[uncleromeo]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Slight spoilers but I feel like the Masters of the Universe movie's message of not being a toxic male would work better if he then didn't solve the problem by killing everyone with a sword.

Same problem I had with Superman, don't just say your theme dammit.

Also James I know we share a birthday and a clear dislike of birth fathers, but write a different trope once.

Tldr, She-Ra on Netflix did it better.

The demonstration of how hypocritical the controversies about the morality of Sansa's ships are - the whole old men or her own brother - is the lack of fanart and discussions about PODSA.

Podrick is exactly what Sansa's most self-righteous fans say they want: a guy of a good and kind nature who would never hurt her, who loves and respects the values of chivalry and nobleladies like Sansa does, who understand the pain of lost his family and grown around abusive adults, who has a crush on Sansa so blatant that even Tyrion cant ignore it, and that not only is as young as her but that was born her same year. He is also born on the other side of the continent from a less powerful family so he wouldn't be able to hurt her and there would be no incest. ALSO BRIENNE THE BEST KNIGHT EVER OF TARTH IS LITERALLY REASING HIM TO BE LIKE HER.

With all this you would expect this couple to be massively supported by THOSE STANS..and yet Podsa fanfictions on ao3 do not reach 2,000 and fans upload a new PodSa content on socials less time than Shrek washes in his swamp.

He is such a timid boy. Sansa had been wary of Tyrion's squire at first; he was a Payne, cousin to Ser Ilyn Payne who had taken her father's head off. However, she'd soon come to realize that Pod was as frightened of her as she was of his cousin. Whenever she spoke to him, he turned the most alarming shade of red. (A Storm of Swords - Sansa IV)

I am not joking..there are more Jaimie Lannister x Sansa Stark fanfictions than Podrick Payne x Sansa Stark.

[lavacastle]

A common problem across fandoms, several of my Star Wars ships get decried as bad, but then the "good" ones get no attention. It's almost like people are mad others aren't writing fics for them more than they are about the morality of ships.
