This is a very unorganized 5 am thought but its fascinating like. How frequently toby writes about sexism and misogyny but its often done so tastefully and subtly that you don’t ever really notice it, but it’s still so so there. Like I think people view utdr as a series that doesnt have that kind of bigotry when it really really does but its just. Written well.

Like. On a surface level, theres characters who are like. A caricature of a misogynist, like Aaron. He’s a buff guy who tells women they’d be cuter if they smiled and objectifies them. He’s meant to be a joke. And meant to make you go “ew fuck this guy” y’know? Then theres things that’re a little less surface level, like a character we can like who has a little more depth but a massive trait of his is objectifying women, like Cap’n. He’s funny and has other gags and traits, and every time he says something weird his buddy always tells him to knock it off.

We have a median where people start to argue but a good amount can agree on, like Berdly. He frequently objectifies Noelle and speaks over and for her, claiming her work as his own. The second he gains feelings for Susie, he starts referring to her in ways she doesn’t like and objectifying her, too. He’s a teenage boy who’s been dragged into weird internet subcultures and you can only hope he’ll learn better. Hell, his arc isn’t even over yet. He’s a weird kid that is nice to girls one on one, but hasn’t learned to not use the patriarchy to his advantage the second he can.

Then we have characters where, if you point out their sexism, people start to argue. And I get it! If you mark a character as “vaguely sexist”, then that means their problematic and bad. But it really doesn’t- I think it adds to them as characters and is worth dissecting. For example, Spamton is very vaguely sexist. A lot of people disagree with this, and I get why you would- I don’t think hes a “woman hating misogynist”, but his behavior in weird route is very telling of some traits- most importantly and obviously him referring to Noelle as “hot mama” and “side chick”. He’s not gonna tell a woman to go make him a sandwich, but he will call a woman a bitch.

Then theres characters that Toby on purpose wrote as a way to combat sexist tropes. Media is FULL of the “in depth depressed man with a cardboard cutout dead/divorced wife”. So he swapped it around. He made Toriel as in depth as possible, giving her layers upon layers that you can write essays on, and then made Asgore the least explored “main” character in Undertale. In Deltarune, Toriel still gets more spotlight, and Asgore is obsessed with having his “life” back- a picture perfect family, a wife by his side, his job, his kids- exactly what a Man is supposed to be. He’s not a raging misogynist either- he’s soft, he wears pink, he grows flowers for a living and for a hobby. But he objectifies Toriel and tracks her down and confronts her in public spaces so she looks bad if she tries to be firm with her boundaries. This is a fascinating character trait of his- he does it in Undertale, too. He loves the idea of Toriel. Sure, they worked well while they did, but when he lost her, all he could focus on was getting her back instead of doing some introspection.

Idk. I think utdr as a series has some of the best written women ive ever seen and thats kind of heartbreaking to say considering its like. An indie rpg. One of the best there is, sure, but like. Youd think thered be more examples. Idk. I like how toby fox writes women and misogyny as a whole.

ngl, this thing wishes that 'older trans woman' was not synonymous with 'dominant' in the eyes of younger trans women.

[miscling]

y'all are gonna love that 40+ trans woman when she's not dominant, right? you're gonna love her when she's submissive, right? you're gonna love her when she's little, right? you're gonna love her when she's just a kitty, right?

you're not just gonna love her for how she slots into your fantasies, right? you're gonna love all of her and not just the parts that get you horny, right? you're gonna love her even when she won't force you to take care of yourself, right?

you're gonna love the 40+ trans woman for who she is, right?

[gwenderling]

I think it’s worth noting about Ralsei’s development in the latest chapter that there’s a really common misconception about what’s going on with her. There’s a lot of memes and whatnot of her being an egg- being clueless and unaware about how obvious it is that she’s trans.

But this chapter explicitly debunks that.

The entire argument between her and Flowery is that she is refusing to let herself be happy. That she’s the only one holding herself back. She openly expresses euphoria about the possibility of being a princess, but offloads the responsibility of her own autonomy to others. She resigns herself to the role of the Prophecy, and outright laments this position.

Ralsei isn’t clueless. She knows who she is and who she wants to be. She’s not an egg, she’s closeted. Her journey isn’t about self discovery, it’s about unshackling herself from expectations and letting herself be who she wants to be.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

[jan-samuli]

my predictions for what will happen after ralsei is eventually confirmed to be transfem in the next few chapters:

people will suddenly dig up The Baby Is You and every other thing toby ever said during the homestuck era that could be considered "problematic" and deltarune will become another "Irredeemable Media".

people will suddenly start talking about how the newest chapter probably isn't meant to be canon, and is just supposed to be an extra bonus epilogue, yknow.

people will suddenly decide that deltarune's plot actually made no sense actually, and will say ralsei being trans came from nowhere.

reddit will complain when the new chapters focus on the main characters of the game instead of the new funny meme joke theory character they collectively came up with based on like 2 peices of evidence.

people will still be theorizing about penumbra phantasm years after it was officially deconfirmed.

spamtenna will still be the most popular ship, despite neither of those characters being relevant at all since chapter 3.

someone is gonna make a post saying "dont worry guys you can still headcanon ralsei as transmasc! we are all just playing toys here, none of this actually matters!" and then say "what no you cant headcanon kris as transfem nonbinary, thats erasure!"

someone will post "yeah more trans representation is cool, but it sucks to see the GNC representation be removed" and will forget about Blue and Mettaton.

etc...

Trevor Noah interviewing Judith “Badass” Heumann

x

[neroushalvaus]

I’m glad so many people have discovered Judith “Judy” Heumann through this silly little gif set. I am sorry to say she has died at the age of 75. She was known as the mother of disability rights. In 1970 she sued the Board of Education to become a licensed teacher and she won. In 1977 she was one of the organizers of the 504 Sit-in, a 24 day protest for disability rights. You can learn more about her story from her book Being Heumann, the picture book Fighting for YES! or the documentary Crip Camp.

Judy Heumann believed in the inherent value of each disabled individual and would never back down on what she thought was right. Her friends and fellow activists remember her as a strong leader.

Judy Heumann

December 18, 1947 - March 4, 2023

May her memory be for a blessing.

i think if you showed minecraft or fortnite to a little medieval peasant boy he would probably start writing parodies of church hymns. it’s human nature

this has rendered me speechless

[familyguysucks9000]

i never see misandry accusations leveled at men

[familyguysucks9000]

men will call other men they dont think are upholding the ideal of masculinity bimbo bitches unworthy of holding a cum rag. theyll call twinks their natural subservient varangian sex toys. but despite this, ive never seen a man be called a misandrist ! instead they are rightfully called homophobic, transphobic, sexist, etc. almost as if misandry is not a real axis of oppression employed by the people in power 🧐

i have a random issue with a handful of pre-srar fall out boy songs where I LOVE the the start of the song or just generally everything but the chorus, but the chorus itself i find kind of underwhelming (eg: ilalwtwiattgyo, ttotbo, igatrimeanomf, cfmrfrpfmsr, gblogbd(dyptstsasgts)

poor thing...walked straight into the electric fence

[doggirldick]

lesbian porn implies the existence of other kinds of porn and i just don't think anyone would make that cause like who the fuck would be the target audience

[lambdaupsilon]

certainly a fascinating phenomenon how anyone into deltarune that isn't """woke""" instinctually assumes and insists on kris being a cis guy. you know this if you go on twitter for like 10 minutes. fuckin... on r34 there's tags for "kris" and "kris (female)". but when people want to push back against that, they're like "kris' asab is none of your business!" and inevitably draw them in a binder. which could mean nothing and could reflect no sorts of implicit biases that people might have about transfemininity

[lesbianchemicalplant]

wow it's soooo wacky and zany that a man is professionally benefiting from misogyny by being a man, including preferential treatment by other men such as his boss at work, that's just so unusual, what a crazy twist, so wholesome chungus allyship that a man treats another man better than women
