it somewhat irritates me when people talk about how "masculinity is encouraged in girls, but femininity is discouraged in boys."

yes, it is more socially acceptable for a woman to present in a masculine manner than for a man to dress/act femininely. but that is not the same as masculinity being encouraged. tomboys are tolerated as young girls- but once you've hit pre-teen/teenage years, the expectation is that you femme up and drop any masculine characteristics. masculinity in girls is allowed as a childhood phase, but it is by no means encouraged, especially as you begin to mature and enter adolescence. anyone who thinks that masculine women are treated favorably in society has never met an actually masculine woman

Just watched one of these humanity first youtube bs videos out of sheer curiosity where a guy deadass argued that JAKE is the sole reason for the Na'vi-Human conflict. Saying that he is the only reason they cannot peacefully co-exist because he simply hates the humans soooo much, and uses the Na'vi to fight against them. Essentially painting him as the evil mastermind pitting the poor innocent humans who only wanna save their homes and the clueless dumb na'vi against eachother.

Which is, obviously, a completely asinine take to have. But also- ngl I may steal this for an RDA!Spider AU.

Just imagine: Spider raised by the RDA as Miles Quaritch Junior. Taught to hate and despite their enemy, made to be their perfect little soldier. All his life he was bombarded with the worst of propaganda they had to offer, turning him into their loyal good little pawn.

But also, that is still Spider. And his love and respect for Pandora is simply not something you cannot take from him without him stopping being Spider.

So what's the logical conclusion of his world view with these things combined? Jake Sully is the devil incarnated who is using the Na'vi to fight against and exterminate humanity. And once they got this evil race traitor tied down and executed, they'll finally be able to show the truth to the Na'vi and build the peaceful co-existence they were always supposed to have. Humanity and the Na'vi are both good and were harmed and betrayed by a heinous villain.

ok but how cool would it be if we never actually saw din's face in the show, like every time he was unmasked the camera was always behind him/focused on something else
