"You look great. Love the eye. How'd you lose it canonically?"

"Bayonette slash across the face."

"Classic."

O: That's just my pet.

L: You need a new pet.

O: I had one but he sacrificed himself so everyone could get out of Oakhurst.

L: OKAY.

Scott, Pyro and Abolish all in chat.

Owen: Yeah, that's my dog, man.

Legs: You need a new pet.

Owen: [laughs] What the heck? That's so rude....I had one, and then he - then he - and then he cho(o)se to sacrifice himself so that everybody could get out of Oakhurst.

Legs: Okay 😑

Owen: [laughs]

I think it's so fascinating seeing how Bloodletting handled their third divorce because they both tried to pitch why they should each deserve to live and from Owen's it was him putting Doc down and saying he had so much more potential to grow and change versus Doc is "a spent torch." And Doc trying to justify his actions and saying it's not a good excuse but it was his only choice, he was doing what he was told versus Owen doing what he wanted.

And then the two at Ascencion and Sacrifice and both choosing Ascension with Doc saying "I could sacrifice. On one hand it's Doc...on the other, it's Owen..." and Owen's rationale being "I thought about sacrificing in hopes of getting rewarded after but in case that didn't happen I rather we both be punished."

Owen rather they both go down hand in unlovable hand style, even his altruism in that moment came from selfishness. Doc on the other hand is like I am tired of constantly sacrificing and giving, I want to be selfish for once. They were never gonna survive therapy.

basically the best thing a story can have is a woman who is doomed. massive points if she destroys the people around her in response.

[drowninginanoceanofart]

These were supposed to be Louis, but it made me realize Owen and Louis look incredibly similar at stage 3, so take these as a 4in2 drawing of both of them.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

[bauliya]

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.

And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jennifer’s Body. I was flabbergasted. It’s not scary! It’s not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.

Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldn’t even talk about it. One of them said he couldn’t look at his wife for a week after reading it.

Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.

Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlash–men yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulate–the backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.

My conclusion? Most men–at least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a “villain”–are perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). They’re even sort of fine when women do violence to women (“ooooo cat fight!”).

But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.

So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassment–behavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actions–is to break something?

Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.

In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.

And they flinch every time.

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.
