no one talks about how rick riordan literally scammed disney

grrover

dead ass pjo was that seemingly “normal” kids fantasy series with a seemingly white straight kid saving the world and it’s a fucking success. percy jackson? iconic! ppl fucking love percy and his character and then hoo comes out? everyone is pumped bc everyone is in love with that world. the first book? two main bad ass poc characters. the second book? two more bad ass poc characters! the fourth book and there’s literally a gay character and it’s not like disney could say no. hoo ends and then there’s magnus chase and ppl are fucking pumped bc that’s annabeth chase’s cousin and in the first book there’s a muslim girl and by the second book there’s a transgender and genderfluid character. trials of apollo? a main gay couple in a happy relationship and a fucking bi character. could disney say no? no. literal 10 year olds are reading books with heaps of representation all published by disney. rick riordan played the game. you step in thinking ur just gonna get white cishets and you walk out surrounded by different cultures and rainbows.

tldr; rick started out with the basic pasty white and straight series which got hella successful and used his success to pusblish more books and allow only one (1) cishet and only one (1) white

i doubt he planned it but deadass it would be so funny if that’s what happened

I saw him speak on /writing in the UK right before (or early in on when) his series hit it big. Planned. Definitely planned.

runwithskizzers

Thousand percent planned. Also Percy? Has a learning disability. RR’s son inspired him to write bc he is ADHD and dyslexic. This was all planned. He is all about inclusivity and representation.

I just wanna lift a boy up bridal style and carry him to the bedroom.

I want a boy laying on top of me sucking on my tits while I pet his hair and remind him what a good boy he is

hither2

you guys remember that post that’s like a series of tweets that a guy makes about how his girlfriend taught him about extremely rudimentary adult things like tupperware and shower curtains and they like. blew his mind and everyone in the comments is gushing about how cute they think it is? just reminding everyone that i hate it

wambamrightintheclam

What about the women who don’t even know how to refill window washing liquid in their car? Properly screw in a nail?

Go fuck yourself for being such a cynical cunt. You don’t know that guys life, or why his situation was the way it was. Instead of feeling like an idiot and taking medication for it like 75% of you on here he tries to make positives out of it, but of course you subhumans all hate it.

hey dude just a quick question: what the fuck

I mean, on the one hand, douchebag. On the other…I’ve had to teach way too many girls and trans guys things like how to put coolant in their cars (often also that their cars need coolant at all…) because for some bizarre reason basic ass life skills are considered gendered. Like, this shit affects everyone. We don’t get to laugh at men for not being able to do their own laundry, but let women off the hook for not being able to change a tire because patriarchy. They’re both symptoms of the same problem.

theroguefeminist

Your response really miscasts the issue. They aren’t equal issues and even if they stem from the gendered division of labor, they do not have equal impacts on women and men.

A lot of times women don’t learn to do handy things because their fathers (or father figures) didn’t think they needed to be taught those things given they’d have a man in their life to do it for them. But those kind of tasks tend to be things you only need to do once in a while; like for example, I don’t need to assemble a piece of furniture or fix an issue with plumbing more than a few times a year, if that. By contrast, men not knowing basic household tasks and self-care puts the onus of daily household labor and childrearing on women. This results in a woman doing regular, intensive household labor while the man can say he mowed the lawn or put together a new end table, tasks that only happen infrequently. There was a tumblr post about the unequal division of household labor between women and men and how male-specific tasks often operate as yet another way to entrap women into doing more labor.

Also, do you know how frustrating it was to teach myself how to assemble my own furniture or fix an electronic device? I was definitely pissed that my brother was taught these things, but I never was. You even say in your tags that you were taught those things despite not having a car, because it was assumed you needed to know them. That’s probably because your father (or another important male figure in your life) thought it was a task that you deserved to know. The same is true of my brother. But as his sister I was not seen as needing to know those things.

On the surface both issues seem “the same” but when you look more closely the impact still falls harder on women. Women who don’t know how to do handy things are seen as incompetent when it comes to being handy. Whereas, men not being able to cook or clean is just seen as the order of things and more proof that a woman‘s place is in the kitchen. A woman is periodically told she should “stand back” and let men do the manly work, while a man who can’t do basic domestic tasks has an excuse to sit on his ass while his wife does the brunt of the housework on a day-to-day basis. That’s the difference. Patriarchy doesn’t hurt everyone equally–it’s designed to oppress women, never forget that.

Today I learned that Colonel Sanders of delicious crispy chicken fame was not a military colonel but a Kentucky Colonel

Though way back in the day Kentucky Colonels did have some manner of involvement in military, it basically just became like Kentucky knighthood where the only qualifications are “Kentucky thinks you’re cool”. Kentucky Colonels do not need to be from Kentucky. They don’t need to have lived in Kentucky. They don’t even need to have lived in America.

Other Kentucky Colonels include Muhammad Ali, Winston Churchill, Hunter S. Thompson, and Jeff Foxworthy, which is a failed Bill & Ted script just waiting to happen.

Anyways, Colonel Sanders had a goddamn wild life. Here’s some choice moments from his wiki page and and some other places:

-Faked his birthday to join the army when he was 16 and was honourably discharged a year later

-Worked on trains until he became a lawyer. Stopped being a lawyer after getting into a fistfight with his own client in the courtroom.

-Got a job selling life insurance and got fired for insubordination. After selling more life insurance for a different company, decided to start a ferry company.

-While acting as a minority shareholder and secretary for the ferry company, he became secretary of commerce in the state of Indiana. He quit a few months later because he “wasn’t very good at it”

-Sold his shares in the ferry company to start a company that produced acetylene lamps, which failed due to a competitors cooler electric lamps. Got a job selling tires, and then got laid off when the plant closed. Got a job running a service station, then got laid off when the station closed, because the Great Depression happened.

-Got a job at a different gas station owned by Shell and began selling chicken (!). Became the uncontested king of local chicken after his competitor showed up, tried to shoot him, shot a Shell official instead, and got convicted of murder.

-After his wife took their kids and left him to move back in with her parents, Sanders hid in the forest outside their house planning to kidnap the kids when they came outside. Got bored of waiting for them so he just strolled over to the house and talked it out with his wife and in-laws.

-KFC happened, being a colonel happened, he sold it but continued to be the company’s public image. Proceeded to randomly show up at various KFC franchises and insult them if they made it poorly. Continued to insult KFC’s parent company Heublin forever, including saying their food was gross and suing them for misusing his image. They tried to sue him for libel and were unsuccessful.

-He literally wore nothing but that white suit for the last 20 years of his life and also bleached his facial hair

-“According to a Thought Catalog synopsis of [his autobiography], Colonel Sanders was a servant of God, with a nasty mouth and a willingness to pummel a man with a chair”

-He has a publicly viewable file with the FBI that includes a paragraph that begins with “Colonel Harland D. Sanders has not been the subject of an FBI investigation” immediately followed by a paragraph of redacted text

I’m supposed to be up at 6am tomorrow but here I am reading about the chicken man. I don’t even know if I CAN sleep now

OKAY BUT THIS EXPLAINS WHY MY GRANDMA ALWAYS CALLS THE PLACE KENTUCKY COLONEL

Colonel Sanders was unironically the most American man to have ever lived.

Abusive men pave the way for lazy men to get wives and girlfirends.

Lemme clarify, how many times have you heard your overworked female friends and relatives say “Yeah, Jerry drinks beer every evening after work while I cook dinner and clean up after everyone and does the bare minimum to help me raise the kids but he’s such a nice guy. He’s never beat me in my life. I couldn’t ask for a better guy in my life.”

Like no, Sally, your husband is a common stone among turds and you know it.

I try to explain this conceptually to people as a thing that happens not saying that this is good but it’s a thing that happens.

A huge part of male privilege is being socially/romantically rewarded merely for not being “as bad” as other men. And it’s true for men who date nonbinary people as well as those who date women.
