Time to rant (movie!Michael fans edition)
So many of movie!Michael Afton simps are just absolutely disgusting 💀 Whenever I check the comments on tiktok or even tumblr under posts that have him showing up, I see so many people (and many of them are repeated offenders of this) acting like straight up coomers about this man
Y'all, why the fuck are we treating him like an object you'd wanna fuck or be fucked by? That's fucking repulsive
Oh and don't let me mention Kaz Brekker simps as well and people who mix in the actor himself, Freddy Carter, into the objectifying sexualization
I get occasional spicy arts/edits and jokes about this, but come ooon being so gross in public and in everyone's face about how you "wanna make him pregnant", how "breedable" he is, how you're gooning to him or how you came all over the screen is fucked up
Y'ALL AIN'T ANY BETTER THAN SIMPS UNDER PICS OF ACTUAL WOMEN OR FEM CHARACTERS ACTING LIKE HORNY RABID IDIOTS
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GO INSANE OVER THE ACTOR AND NOT JUST THE CHARACTERS HE PLAYS
People got too comfortable with acting like horny animals online and it shows 💀
Yes I'm shaming this kind of behavior because you fucking bet they'd feel uncomfortable as hell if the roles were switched and they played characters people objectify
How is it that people don't put themselves in the actor's shoes and realize this behavior is just sickening?
If you wanna act like a coomer gooner who objectifies people for fun and because you can't be into some*one* and need to ahve to make it a some*thing*, at least do it in private instead of infecting public spaces with this behavior
Am I a puritanical bitch? Nah, I'm just fed up with how sexualization and objectification is normalized towards everyone, fictional or not, masc or fem or androgynous
Especially how normalized objectifying men and masc characters is, especially when done by women/femmes
No, gender of the gooner and the gender of the character they goon for doesn't make it less of a problem or more of a problem
It's just a major issue and shows how people's brains were rotten by porn and pop culture being so damn thirsty
It's sad to watch too, hopefully Freddy Carter doesn't see much of this garbage and thankfully Michael Afton isn't real because even the horniest people out there feel uncomfortable with how much of an object they are to other people
And with so many people talking about how disgusted they feel when they're being sexualized without consent, you'd think others would realize they should rethink their shitty behavior and maybe, idk, stop looking at someone they find attractive as if they were looking at a sex toy and instead see the humanity in them
Is it that deep? I'd say definitely and shutting down the conversation with a "Boohoo it's not that deep you prudish mf" would prove it's an uncomfortable topic and an actual issue our society should work on
