Countdown to MCU White Feminists™ declaring that: 

• Wakanda is a backwards, misogynistic country for having a king 

• The very premise of the Dora Milaje is steeped in misogyny + sexism because “it has women serving a man” (but they’ll most likely draw white female characters in “Dora Milaje style” in fanarts because it’s ~hardcore~) 

• Claiming P/ggy, N/t/sh/, J/ne would be a MUCH better ruler than T'Challa because “grrl power!1” completely ignoring the existence of Shuri, T'Challa’s younger sister 

• Compare/Contrasts of how the white lady characters are progressive and Feminist™ for this + such reason while the Dora Milaje are OBVIOUSLY hindering the movement 

• Fics of D*rcy going on vacation to Wakanda and becoming the greatest female warrior of all time ala Jason Brody from Far Cry 3, Mighty Whitey wish fulfillment 

• General, rampant concern trolling towards the women of Wakanda and acting like rich white kids on a missionary/soul searching trip to Africa determined to save the poor blacks 

• Complaining about the lack of white women 

Feel free to add more!

Women who love the whole concept of European monarchies and who squee over royal babies suddenly having a problem with Wakanda’s monarchy?

Seeing Wakanda’s monarchy as regressive and antifeminist while suggesting that American/Western neoliberal capitalist democracy will save all the women?

Super basic fics that do exactly what Spivak critiqued as the ridiculous justifying narrative of colonialism – “rescuing brown women from brown men”?

Ignoring the presence of black women who are (I mean, hopefully the movies will show it) important to T’challa’s leadership in order to decry the evil patriarchal monarchy?

Fic where SJW Steve Rogers is the one who explains to Sam that actually T’challa isn’t so bad? 

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

Fic where SJW Steve Rogers declares Wakanda is oppressive. The same people who love Asgard and Thor being a prince and Lady Sif being a warrior taking issue with Wakanda, T'Challa being ruler and women being Warriors.

“Fics of D*rcy going on vacation to Wakanda and becoming the greatest female warrior of all time ala Jason Brody from Far Cry 3, Mighty Whitey wish fulfillment”

This has actually already been made and is one of the popular fics in the T'Challa and Wakanda tag

[moonisneveralone]

No no no please tell me this isn’t true OMG.

[mistytemple-deactivated20190221]

I wish I was lying but no :/ Darcy apparently frequently visits the ‘Panther Goddess Temple’ and even speaks to Bast/has dreams about her too. I don’t remember the name I think it has ‘With Love’ in it??

[hollahollagettchalla-deactivate]

I took a wild guess and googled “From Wakanda With Love” and yup, that’s the title. “From Wakanda With Love”

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

*sprays fandom with water* Bad fandom, BAD! *takes Wakanda away from them until they learn better*

[ororosmunroe]

Now Adam you know dang well they ain’t gonna learn.

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

They better before I bust that black magic out on they asses

[hollahollagettchalla-deactivate]

I’m reading the right now. Darcy just got magically blessed with a pet panther and the Wakandan people think it’s a sign she should marry T'Challa.

[hollahollagettchalla-deactivate]

Okay this is a nitpick compared to all the other things wrong with this fic, but everyone speaks Yoruba.

Yoruba is spoken in West Africa, mainly Nigeria.

Wakanda in the MCU is located adjacent to Kenya.

Completely across the fucking continent from Nigeria.

Where the major language is Swahili.

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

I can’t believe you’re reading it! I was morbidly curious about giving it a peek but don’t have the spoons to wade through the bullshit.

[mistytemple-deactivated20190221]

Here’s the best part. There’s a SEQUEL. And this is one of the lines: “The Wakandans, as in the life they lived, worship Darcy to an almost overwhelming point at first. She still shops in the marketplace, attends temple, and chases Yejide through every mud puddle the cat can find, and it doesn’t take long for things to settle down. T’Challa adores her, and though he is permitted to take a second wife because she can’t have children, he refuses.”

Five Actresses That Can Fill The Role Of The Second Witness On Season 4 Of SLEEPY HOLLOW.

Assuming FOX or any other network picks up Sleepy Hollow for a fourth season, there is the mystery ...

[acceber74]

I honestly wouldn’t want any black actress linked to this show.  They’ve already set the precedence the second witness is disposable and interchangeable.  I’d rather the show get canceled for good.

[meanmisscharles]

Seconding the cancellation.

[ai-yo]

the show went downhill in season 2 it died back then and season 3 was a zombie just get rid of it

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

Thank you.

I will always re-blog this

[skywritingg]

I think it was high school when i overheard some white girl put on her best semi-disgusted and confused voice and go “why do so many Mexicans dress up like cowboys?” and I had to be the person to tell her.

[mexica-boricua-deactivated20180]

Why do you think the whites say buckero? Cause they couldn’t say vaquero.

[swan2swan]

You know what movie I will always be proud of?

Alien vs. Predator.

Why?

Because it was a stupid premise that was going to get people’s butts in seats for one reason and one reason only, and that was to see the Alien fight the Predator, so they could literally do whatever they wanted with the rest of the movie, they didn’t care, so what did they do?

Put Sanaa Lathan in as the lead, gave her a shield made of an alien’s crest and a spear made of an alien’s tail and said “go fight alongside the Predator to save the world from an Alien Queen”, and that’s what she did. They didn’t have to do that, they could have had a white guy, they could have had a white woman, a black man, even, but no, they went with a black woman and made her incredible. And when she fought her way to the end of that movie, they made sure that the most dangerous hunters in the galaxy recognized her and respected her, and they marked her because they decided “You are a paragon of your species and we honor you as one of our own” so in this universe when the Predators think of the Best that Humanity has to offer, they imagine the face of black woman of science with long curly hair. 

THAT IS ALL.

“I love Kira Yukimura so much, I love the Yukimura family, I loved my experience on Teen Wolf, I love the cast and crew. It’s been an amazing three and a half years. It’s gone by so fast. But, unfortunately, it looks like we are wrapped up with Kira’s storyline and she won’t be coming back for season 6.” - Thank you Arden for your wonderful portrayal of Kira Yukimura. Both yourself and our kickass kitsune will be greatly missed.

How women prepare for first dates

Bonus: How men prepare for first dates:

[sarcasticbabywhispererjess]

Accurate.

[pokemonprofessor]

Okay but the first set of gifs is not a joke like that’s literally how it goes.

[onemuseleft]

One of the girls at work won’t get in the guy’s car unless he agrees to let her take photos of him and his license plate to text to her mother. If he gets mad or makes a fuss she cancels the date and goes back inside.

[a-high-ass-ginger]

Reblogging for that 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

[whatistimeeven]

I’ve had someone take pics of me and my license plate on a first date before & I was okay with it. I’ve also had a friend allow me to view the tracking on her phone when she went to meet up with a guy the first time. This isn’t a joke at all & women have good reason to worry.

[legolokiismighty]

i have only ever met 2 people online, and made sure that we met up somewhere that was 1) public 2) close to my home. 

After, I walked to the dollar store that was a couple shops down until I knew they were gone, before walking home.

[breelandwalker]

Louis C.K. kind of nailed it. Men worry that their date won’t measure up to their aesthetic preferences. Women worry that they’re going wind up dead.

The disparity is RIDICULOUS, and the fact that dudes get offended when women try to protect themselves is hard proof that way too many guys Do Not Understand how dangerous it is to be a woman. (Not to mention it’s fucking insulting. “How dare you not trust your life and safety to a complete stranger whose intentions you have no way of knowing”?)

[breelandwalker]

Lookin’ at the notes on this post following my earlier reblog and just going….

Wow. WOW. Look at all these sheltered people and their internalized misogyny.

The point isn’t, “NOT ALL MEN ARE OUT TO GET YOU.”

The point is, “WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING A NICE GUY FROM A SERIAL KILLER.”

It’s not like they fucking wear nametags, okay? Moreover, the most awful people with the worst intentions often put on the nicest face or deliberately make themselves seem harmless and likeable, to lull potential victims into a false sense of security. (Read up on Ted Bundy sometime. It’s horrifying shit. Or read any thread on the “Let’s Not Meet” subreddit.)

In order to protect ourselves, we are forced to assume the worst of every man we meet, because statistically speaking, the biggest danger to women…IS MEN. Saying “not all men are out to get you, you’re just being paranoid” is like saying “not every car you ride in is going to crash, so buckling your seatbealt is stupid.”

When dealing with an unknown situation, in the absence of absolute proof of safety, exercising a little extra caution can be the difference between life and death. Shaming women for being what you may view as overly cautious is every bit as horrid as blaming them if something goes wrong later on.

And refusing to go to a secluded location with a complete stranger without letting someone know where you’re going, who you’re with, and how to find you is just common street sense, whether you’re on a date or just going out for business or social purposes.

If your life has been so sheltered (or your coping skills so incredible) that you see no need to distrust strangers or worry about the potential for violence, you should thank your lucky stars.

And you should also be aware that just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.

Lemme say that louder for the people in the back.

Just because it hasn’t happened to you or anyone you know does not mean that it doesn’t happen.

And if you won’t take a woman’s word for it because you are some kind of asshat, men who sleep with men also mirror these rituals because even men are afraid of other men based on men’s behavior and inability to understand “no” or take rejection well.

With all the recent fridging and all around bad treatment of black and other WOC female characters on TV recently, let’s not forget poor Amanda Fisher/Jill Marie Jones from Ash vs Evil Dead. She was billed as the female lead when she was cast and was killed off a little more than halfway through the season. Both Amanda and Jill Marie Jones deserved better too.

Poet Taylor Steele captures the problem with appropriating Black slang.

In her poem “AAVE” (which stands for African-American Vernacular English) Taylor Steele explains why appropriation of Black slang is the worst.  African-American culture is being popularized on a daily basis and while Black people are judged and mistreated for using something they came up with ages ago, White people come off as cool and original when they use it.
