tbh the longer u think about polle being a vessel/mouthpiece for anyas pain (like bro their text colors r the SAME COLOR. in a game that assigns everyone unique text colors) and her hatred/resentment toward jimmy and the fact that would mean hes aware of what he did to her on a subconscious level and haunted by it (literally personifying it as a giant pursuing monster) and yet he STILL refuses to regard her as a human being. filling her in his mind as a mascot

the 'ive found myself sexually attracted to cartoon horses'

the fact that anya places her sleeping bag underneath polles statue, who is motion activated... likely as a way to protect herself...

the final speech polle gives. 'poor you. caged and alone'

and importantly. when jimmy tries to throw anyas words back in her face - 'our worst moments dont make us monsters-' polle cuts him off. 'HOLD ON! WAIT A MINUTE! if thats true... why are you still so concerned with HIM' accusatorially... like THATS who you feel sorry for? THATS what you think your worst moment was?

anyway sometimes the relationship between a woman who deserved better and a little cartoon horse mascot is so beautiful. to ME

I genuinely think Mouthwashing fandom is a good example on how real life misogyny is very wired on people brains and influenced how they engage with fictional misogyny.

You have a story about a woman being assaulted and telling a man she trusted but being dismissed because he is friends with the attacker, and people fixate on shipping her with either of those men.

You have a story about how men that downplay their male friends violence, assume neutrality is the safer option, unintentionally help create an environment that's unsafe to vulnerable people, at a risk becoming a victim themselves. And people make it about toxic yaoi.

You have a character kill herself because she didn't want birth the child of her abuser. And people make AUs where she happily keep the baby.

Misogyny isn't just "I hate women", it's also downplaying their trauma, defending those who caused it, and reducing them to mothers or wives against their wishes under this idea of what womanhood is about.

I don't think we can separate fandom misogyny from it's real world influence, not yet.

Don’t say you love enemies to lovers if you don’t know them

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

raging kang dae-ho apologist btw. your boy had the most normal, human reaction to the insane shit that was happening and was killed for it. my love for gi-hun will not keep me from being pissed tf off that he essentially killed a young man for being scared

Just another normal message from a normal person.

Funny, i actually noticed that a lot of my Ukrainian mutuals have been getting spineless asks like this.

an important post about the romanticisation of the USSR and communism.

So what kind of vibe would you get from being there?

Hunger, prison, deportations

Easy access to food? clothes you like? travel? forget it

Sex education? LGBTQ+? Safety? Don't even hope

Remember that you have nothing of your own. Do you even deserve it?

and more

“player 388, eliminat—“ and so i threw myself off a building

Btw, Gi-hun — through his actions and decisions, direct or indirect — not only blew up the gaming island but also saved the lives and destinies of all these people. He is an angel. His impact is huge, he gave them a chance 😭
