So I’ve been watching this bit from Would I Lie To You where the guests have to make out whether or not David Mitchell used to play board games against a bucket called Stephen Tatlock. I found it so weird, funny and cute that I made this drawing of a young David Mitchell (with rather short arms I’m afraid) and his bucket friend.

omg this is the greatest fan art i’ve ever seen

the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

[serpentking456]

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.

[bransonreese]

Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.

[severepaperhideout-deactivated2]

But buddy.

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

[bransonreese]

Buddy. It’s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you don’t know how to read?

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

[kiefbowl]

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

[houroftheantichristwolf]

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

[auntiewanda]

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot. 

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

[auntiewanda]

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

[auntiewanda]

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks: 

Also: 

[feminism-is-radical-deactivated]

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

[dyketales-deactivated20180601]

You can see her butthole for chrissakes

[pmastamonkmonk]

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

[aglassroseneverfades]

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

[danieljlayton-deactivated202002]

That Hugh Jackman cover comparison is the stuff of Media Studies teachers’ dreams. Excellent work.

allow me to make one thing abundantly clear about bill potts

I’ve said this before and my point still stands. A character’s happy ending is no excuse to unnecessarily put them through hell. Death is not a theme to be played with lightly. Killing a character for shock value is cheap, lazy, and immature writing. Repeatedly using the same theme, particularly with shocking events (and reversing shocking events) is cheap, lazy, and immature writing. I deserve better as a viewer. Bill Potts deserved better as a character. If you like her happy ending, great. But as a queer woman of color I don’t appreciate how this was all written. It’s harmful, it’s uncouth, it’s racist, it’s queerphobic, it’s sexist, it’s gross. Period. Doctor Who is too good a show to be treated with cheap ass immature writing. 

If you have a different opinion that’s perfectly fine by me but Moffat stans are not welcome on my blog.

research: young people today are more anxious and depressed than ever

society: oh my god that's terrible why

research: well they're under more pressure at school, they're worried about the political climate, they're more diverse and more aware of social injustices than past generations, their job prospects are poor, trends like helicopter parenting and increasing surveillance of kids inhibit their ability to develop a sense of being in control of their lives, there's an increasing cultural disconnect between generations, they're increasingly criminalized for minor offenses or even just being out in public, they're overscheduled and lacking in free time, they-

society: it's because of selfies isn't it
