Season 3 is even worse through the feminist lenses. Ugh. Yay to the two girls though.

So I’ve decided to be a buzzkill feminist regarding Squid Game today.

1. It’s so ironic to see how female characters are treated in the light of South Korea’s misogynistic and demographic problems.

We have a pregnant girl who decided not to have an abortion despite having no family and being in debts. We have an old traditional mother of very stupid son risking HER life to pay what HE owes. We have a stoic hardened North Korean mercenary who is longing for a baby she had to leave when escaping her country and feeling soft about a random ill child she met once.

The only female (probably) childless character is a crazy shaman who (to me) looks a lot like a character from season 1 and doesn’t have a lot of personality except for ominous prophetic whispering.

Or and there was a girl who was written into the plot to say that a trans woman character is beautiful before being killed for the purpose of this trans character development.

It’s also so ironic to me that the most developed woman-coded character in the season 2 is trans. There was no writing effort left for other women in the cast.

2. Despite being the focus of the writing team all the men in this show are so stupid I almost cried in frustration every fucking episode. Well that’s realistic I guess? But they and their every decision are so stupid omg.

3. As far as I know at least 4 male actors of this show are problematic meaning accused of rape, child prostitution and beating women. There is also a junkie rapper playing a junkie rapper. Is this a trend? Was it a requirement to be hired for the series?

Ugh. Sadly I’m still gonna watch season 3. But with a prejudice and hate.

Remember that time when I bought Rupi Kaur's book and was flabbergasted at how terrible it was?

TW: SA, murder

In Norway, we had a multiple best selling novelist who, at 80 years old, admitted to the public in an interview that she had murdered a man who'd tried to SA her. She said on a Swedish talk show in 2004 that she was assaulted by a man at a deserted road when she was 11, and after having previously experienced brutal SA as a young child, she snapped and murdered the assailant with a rock and then she rolled the body into a ditch and hid it, never to be found. Every news outlet reported on this at the time, NOT ONE JUDGED HER. Her simple reasoning being "a child, too, needs to be allowed to defend themselves". Which DAMN RIGHT. And obviously the case was too old to prosecute. A lot of people even didn't believe her story and brushed it off as just a tale(although no one questioned her experiences with SA).

She even included her experiences and the murder(although slightly altered) in her best selling 47-book series, "The Legend of the Ice People", through one of her female characters. I was shocked by the detail and emotion used in describing the particular scenes in the book, and so when she revealed, and later elaborated in her biography, that the SA and the self defence murder was from her own experience, I thought it made sense.

She would've turned 100 years old on April 23rd this year.

Margit Sandemo, the best-selling Swedish-Norwegian author who got away with murder.

Ind!@n and P@k!stani m3n are bragging about raping women belonging to their enemy country after a war happens. Mind you that they already have raped thousands of women during partition and continue to brutalize women in their own countries everyday in the worse way possible. No country wins in a war, only m3n win and women lose

Was it made impossible after the posthumous trial of Jeanne d’Arc that found her not guilty of heresy?? (Sorry but I couldn’t resist)

But yes, in Russia you can. It’s been allowed since 2011 when the father of the young woman who died in car crash alongside with a passenger, famous female doctor, and was considered guilty because she was driving, demanded a posthumous trial to clear her name. the constitutional court allowed it and changed the law. She was found not guilty btw.

It was supposed to work only when families of the deceased make a case, but when the law was changed, nothing about that particular point had been added, so any deceased can be prosecuted now.

But yes, usually it happens when a family of the suspected person or a family of the victim is insisting (when the perpetrator is dead too, for example in murder-suicide cases). With Khachaturyan sister the reason was to establish the crimes against them and use this proven fact in their own trials later.

Almost 7 years ago three girls in Moscow named Krestina, Angelina, and Maria Khachaturyan (19, 18 and 17 years old back then) agreed to kill their father. Only now in 2025 the court agreed they had the reason to: the deceased was tried posthumously and finally had been found guilty of abusing them.

He was a violent drug-addicted person with police connections, who beat his wife Aurelia for 20 years, kicked out his son when he was about 14 then Aurelia herself, and forbad her to contact the girls. He raped and tortured his daughters, threatening them with weapons and controlling their every move. Nobody helped even after he pulled them out from school.

In one of the interviews, Krestina told about the order their father established at home:

He demanded that we always be there and come at his first call. He had a special bell, which he rang, and one of us should immediately run up to him, day and night. And do whatever he says — to bring water, food and miscellaneous other… He could not make an effort even to open the window himself, and we had to serve him as slaves.

One night when he got angry with them again he tortured them with pepper spray, causing Krestina, the oldest, asthma attack. Later that night the younger sisters attacked him with knife and hummer and with the help of Krestina who woke up because of sounds of fighting they killed him.

I remember the initial news, the details about abuse that came later, the arrest of three girls. The BIL of the deceased was called a victim of the crime and was doing everything he could to influence the prosecution and the court so they would punish his nieces in full. He denied the abuse, accused them of lying, girls’ messages were leaked and used to paint them as spoiled brats. Our ‘Incels movement’ joined him in this.

At the same time there were a lot of feminist protests going on, and I think it was the last huge joint feminist activity before the war began and feminism was called destructive movement close to terrorism (they haven’t banned us yet, but it could happen any time). And it worked, it helped, and I think the decision to charge the deceased father with abuse was one of the last good news we had here.

In the year 2025 when feminism is a dirty word in our country, when domestic abuse is no more a criminal offence, when people get twice longer sentences for antiwar graffiti than for rape or murder, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the news today. I hope that sister will be found not guilty or at least will be considered righteously defending themselves and will get suspended sentences. Didn’t they suffered enough? They are still forbidden to meet each other.

Websites? I was giving up on PICTURES (lord of the rings fanarts btw) which took too long to load.

hey kids did you know that computers didn't used to automatically connect to the internet. it used to make this screaming noise. we should have listened.

Knowing what Pedro Pascal's daddy did to women, I literally don't want to hear a single word from him about how "we must protect trans women who are women."

Dude, your father used to purposefully place the wrong ovum and sperm in the wombs of women who trusted him as their reproductive doctor and if he were to set foot in the US again he'd be arrested immediately. This is reproductive violence. This is a complete disregard of women's safety, boundaries, and agency.

"Trans women are the smallest, uwuest community and" shut the fuck up, moid. If trans women were women, your father would've already found a way to breach their consent for his own entertainment.

I did not know this Pedro lore. No wonder him and his brother seem fucked up.

Fucking hell. And that’s after last week news how “King Charles Extends Olive Branch To Disgraced Brother Prince Andrew At Easter Church Service”. I hate how this world is so unfair to women and especially survivors.

RIP.

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.

eleanor guthrie truly character of all time. she's awful. she's a pirate, she's not quite a pirate because it occasionally suits her to be an englishwoman instead. her daddy issues nearly destroyed nassau. she made one of the most feared pirates on the seas crawl at her feet but also did such a number on him that he killed her real father. she made another of the most feared pirates on the seas into the dad who stepped up but only after having some weird sexual tension with him. her lesbian situationship reverberated through the whole narrative so bad that the core relationship semi-quoted her breakup. she's dead. she comp hetted her way into her own doom. she's shiv roy for the high seas. jack rackham said she was mother. anne bonny called her a cunt. she was even bisexual.

There is actually a new paper about bias in sentencing men who sexually assaulted minors (!) depending on the sex of victims.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bsl.2720

‘regardless of age, having a male victim was associated with the male offender receiving a longer sentence compared to a female victim. Moreover, the older the female was, the likelihood of receiving a lesser sentence increased, but this was not the case with male victims.’

I was watching a youtube video of a trial in the US: a young man who killed his father because he'd been raping him ever since he was 6. He got sentenced to life in prison because either the jury didn't believe him or they didn't believe he'd acted in self defence, whatever. I watched him cry as he was being questioned by the lawyers about what he'd endured and I genuinely felt bad for him. I believed him and was moved by his pain. I checked the comments and everybody was being supportive and saying he should be freed, but there were also dozens of comments with thousands of upvotes saying: "if he'd been a girl he would be free right now", "people never believe men", "this is why men don't come forward" and "if he was a girl it would be a whole different story." Men and women, repeating the same thing over and over again, like some rehearsed performance: women are believed more than men and they get a free pass for murder. Basically, that the justice system favours women and hastily punishes those accused of rape. Which is a blatant lie. So why do people believe it? Why do they feel the need to say it every time a man is abused? My empathy for the guy slowly vanished as I remembered that a man would never feel the same way about a woman and that men literally use other men's pain to oppress women further. There's an underlying message with it too: that men rape women so frequently that everyone believes it, which is a privilege. Female privilege. Women and girls are privileged for being assaulted so frequently that it can't be denied. And yet it is.

I looked at the corner of my youtube screen and saw the next recommended video: "Camille Vasquez's Cross of Amber Heard." In the video, Amber Heard cries much like the man I was watching just before, about being raped. The top comments all call her a liar, an evil psychopath, a bad actress and a woman who tried to ruin a man's life with false rape accusations. They're all laughing at her. You really can't make this shit up.

I agree here, the point was it’s not a ‘fake oppression’ but mislabeled one.

to all the radfems who idolize JK Rowling... does her going after asexual people open your eyes to how evil she is or are we really that far gone???
