â(Mostly) gross older men create hyper-sexualized fanartâ.Â
Bullshit. Even in the MLP:FiM fandom, a lot of the adult content is produced by women. Youâre just talking out of your own ass because of all the shit youâve been fed. And youâre very conveniently forgetting that a lot of gay fan art is drawn by straight women. One single trek into fanfiction.net and deviantArt would disprove your claim immediately. Or, even better: Google y!Gallery. Like HOW THE FUCK are you not fucking aware of this? Or are you so far into denial that youâre just ignoring reality completely? âYaoi fangirlâ is an actual term. One of the biggest complaints some people had about the Invader Zim fandom was how a lot of girls shipped Zim and Dib (even the creator of the series regards his fans with disdain). Not only am I a woman, but I was first introduced to yaoi/slash from other women. Female mangaka make yaoi doujinshis all the fucking time. Iâm part of the Team Fortress 2 fandom, hon, and the fans for it churn out gay porn like no other. There are naked character models for the game (createdâgasp!âby a woman!). And, letâs not forget âGumhoesâ, âOnce-lutsâ, and the cult of people in the Gravity Falls fandom that are sexually obsessed with a triangle in a hat.
âMen really arenât put under the same constant image pressure as women.â
Oh, really? Really? You sure you want to go down that route, sweetheart? Are you sure youâre ready to back that statement?
Now, envision a stereotypical sports fan. What do you come up with? A fat white guy in grease paint. Picture a stereotypical âcomputer nerdâ. What did you come up with? A fat white guy with glasses. Comic book geek? Same thing. Gamer? Another fat white guy. Any time we come up with a negative stereotype, we automatically associate it with being male, and being obese.
Two girls kiss on a television sitcom? Itâs a revolutionary event. Meanwhile, two guys kissed on a show years earlier, and everyone forgot.
Women can wear menâs clothing without fear. A man in womenâs clothing is almost always frowned upon.
Movies with lesbianism often make it to the top of the box office (Black Swan, anyone?). Movies with gay men are relegated to the indie circuit. The one time one broke out in popularity, it ended up becoming the butt of every joke about either gay men, or cowboys.
Iâve covered all of this and more in a previous post. And, once again:
Boys biologically NEED positivity. Â They NEED nurturing that many of them are not receiving. Â There is literally a part of the brain (the corpus callosum) that is responsible for coping with trauma. Â Not only is this area smaller in boys than girls from the start, but when subjected to trauma or neglect, the corpus callosum in a male will reduce in size, while in a female, it remains the same.
By treating little boys as though they should be perfect and self-sufficient, and discouraging them from expressing emotion or allowing them to have flaws, weâre genuinely causing them psychological harm.
Meanwhile, women in first-world countries are more privileged over men than they have ever been.
Oh, and letâs not forget: Men aged 18-25 are STILL required to sign up for the draft, while women are NOT (for those extra-special people crying that this âhasnât been done in decadesâ, Morty has confirmed that he had to sign up for it, as well as a few of his friends that are younger than he is). That means that if and when a major war breaks out, women have zero obligation to fight in it, while men will be chosen by their birth dates, and sent onto the battlefield (and possibly to their graves) against their will.
So fuck you that boys have zero pressure on them from society, because weâre literally the ones that fucked them over in the first place.
