“This story is so gay!”

“Is it gay or is it misogynistic?”

They don’t understand.

I explain that often times women and girls are excluded from stories in favor of a predominantly male cast because the author doesn’t value female narrative contributions nor considers them worthy of character development in their own rights independent of the men, so the result isn’t uplifting male relationships with romantic intentions, but simply sexist writing in its most basic form.

They assure me it’s a good story.

Look inside.

It’s misogynistic.

i tried pointing this out about Lord of the Rings a while back and people acted like i’d told them the sky is green

[verziosposts]

The only contrasting argument I can make is that nearly every woman in LOTR is some kind of god-princess better than every man around them. But holy shit LOTR is misogynistic.

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

the closer a character is to godhood, the further they are from personhood.

I just saw the world's freshest baby in Panera bread. Like that thing was JUST out of the oven. I've heard of being wet behind the ears but this baby was wet behind the everything. It was still damp.

[butch-bara]

actually i’m putting this on main blog too people will legitimately be like “omg i’m SOOO glad they made the lesbian character in [tv show] the pretty one instead of some ugly disgusting hairy butch dyke! this is destroying the negative stereotype that all lesbians are ugly disgusting monsters 🤩 #woke #feminism #lesbian #pretty” and think they deserve to live

I'm curious.

Do you see people you don't know online as your own gender and race unless told/proven otherwise?

I see people as the same gender and race as me

I see people as the same gender, but not as the same race as me

I don't see people as the same gender, but I do see them as the same race as me

I don't see people as the same gender or race as me

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

[beaft]

while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"

well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question

[beaft]

third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"

i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."

and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3

@luckyybones hope you don't mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct
