"We need more diverse queer representation!"

You cannot even handle queer jews.

#jewish politics #antisemitism tw #queer jews #queer antisemitism #i have realized the reason i'm posting way less on my queer blog is because of this #i'm posting on here WAY more because i (actually!) feel safe posting in a space where jews have followed me and i follow them #it's really disheartening but the stereotype that jews are super uniquely anti-queer isn't even across the board true like #i have felt safer around cishet jews than i do around cishet and even queer goyim #and clarification that i am still a work in progress but i don't think people care about that esp if they aren't invested in jewish spaces #i guess... happy pride?#just a quick vent i suppose based on the meme format that got popular here #(also the only reason i feel safe here is because i obsessively pre-emptively block antisemites and i have locked down my account before)#(i am Not afraid to turn anon off and i refuse to let strangers DM me haha)#(sad we have to do this but at the least i feel safe to post here! i refuse to not feel safe <3)

"Administratively, too, [...] queens were considered the legal lords of their landholdings. [...] Grants noted that the queen's officials had administrative autonomy without being subject to the king or anyone else, and evidence of the same assumption can be gleaned from court rolls that were recorded with headings indicating the lord of the manor whose court proceedings were being enrolled. As an example, some court rolls for the manor of Haveringatte-Bower specified that it was the court of [Margaret of Anjou] that was in session, while later rolls recorded Elizabeth Woodville as the lord of the manor court."

-Michele Seah, 'My Lady Queen, the Lord of the Manor': The Economic Roles of Late Medieval Queens", Parergon, Volume 37, Number 2, 2020.

#queenship tag #margaret of anjou #elizabeth woodville #I really appreciated how Seah acknowledged the uneven surviving evidence for her subjects and how that affects her analysis.#It was very brief but it was more than what most historians do so it was very refreshing :)#my post #english history #this is for @ anon who asked if its true that Margaret mostly hosted her own courts while EW mostly stayed with her husband #I'm not sure which (if any) historian has said something like this* but I highly doubt it's true !#We don't really have solid itineraries in place for either queen to make any kind of firm conclusions of the sort #(ie: about their residences or anything else) though I'm sure it would have varied depending on the situation #But either way it's explicitly clear that both Margaret and Elizabeth held their own courts in their own lands on multiple occasions #And we also have evidence of both of them residing with their husbands in regular circumstances #*tbh this is too long to get into right now but this assumption does fit into the few 'revisionist' interpretations of both Margaret and EW #(which imo is just as degrading as her traditional interpretation for the latter) so I wouldn't be surprised if some #historians may have framed their situations in such a way and relied entirely on their own assumptions to do so #Either way as far as I know there is no evidence of any such contrast existing - at least not on a consistent basis.#and the evidence we do have contradicts the assumption #Hope this helps! I figured a proper excerpt from this article would clarify the point better than any direct answer from me <3 #also in case anyone was wondering I *think* the title ('My Lady Queen the Lord of the Manor') was referring to administrative accounts #of EW based on what Seah wrote here - though ofc I'm not sure #queue

Do you know "Eggnoid"? It's a rather old webtoon about a girl being put into circumstances on taking care of a robot guy who hatched from an egg (hence the title) the robot guy appears to be a grown man, but he has mental capabilities of a toddler and even acts like one. So, it's like those types of "born sexy yesterday" tropes but the gender reversed. The girl also repeatedly shown crushing over the robot guy and at some point, she called him her boyfriend despite she's supposed to be his caretaker.

I haven't read it, but I can definitely attest that there's a double standard when it comes to gender roles and age gaps / situations of grooming / etc. in literature but especially in webtoons. And by that I mean I've legit seen people hold comics like Lore Olympus accountable for their gross dynamics between a young teenage girl and the much older and richer love interest, but then turn around and say it's "couple goals" for a teenage boy to hook up with a much older woman. At the end of the day there's still a power imbalance due to the age gap and the massive differences in life experiences between the two, gender doesn't really change that.

Big ole' sip of hot tea as a take, but speaking as an AFAB, a lot of women are just as capable of grooming and taking advantage of younger men in the same way as men towards young women, it's just that on the surface people tend to get skittish about addressing that because they don't want to sound like they're going "yeah well actually women though-" and dismissing the notion of toxic masculinity. Which yes, that's a fair thing to worry about, some people do use that as a way to dismiss the arguments made regarding patterns of grooming behavior in men towards young girls (among many other problems in which men and toxic masculinity are held accountable), but like any topic of this nature, it's not always a cut and dry black and white thing. Toxic masculinity and the grooming of teenage girls by adult men is a very real problem! But just like how we can understand the nuance that being a man by default doesn't immediately make you a predator, we should be able to understand the nuance that being a woman doesn't give you a free pass to do the same things we call out men for doing without consequences. It's like the double standard in LO that it's okay for Persephone to do the same things - if not worse - than what Leuce and Minthe and Thetis do, because she's the main character and she's not some scummy "mud-sucking" lower class person, she's rich and a Queen and she's wearing a giant hat so it makes it okay /s

Unfortunately the saying of "I support women's rights and women's wrongs" is being used in a completely tone deaf "literally excusing the main character of her crimes and wrongdoings against others because she happens to be a woman" kind of way, while missing the real point of the saying - supporting women's wrongs doesn't mean you celebrate their abuse towards others, it just means women shouldn't automatically be viewed as irredeemable "crazy bitches" for making mistakes like any other human does, and like any other human, they should be given the opportunity to grow and heal and learn from their wrongs.

When it comes to Persephone specifically, it can't even be chalked up to a "one time mistake" anymore, she's literally been showing patterns of abusive behavior for years now and refusing to take accountability, and now even Rachel is meme'ing on it knowing fully well it's what people are calling Persephone out for in the critical spaces. That's not "supporting women's wrongs", that's enabling the wrongs of a person because they happen to be a woman, and that's not okay. Persephone isn't a "girl boss", she's a bully.

I think the double standard in these age gap romances also speaks to the idolization and fixation on women as being nothing more than conquests for men as well. People who romanticize age gaps between a young woman and an older man think, "Wow, that woman is so mature for her age, enough that an older richer man would choose HER to be his wife! So romantic!" when in reality those who know those dynamics are unhealthy and toxic recognize it as an older man taking advantage of a young woman who's being love-bombed into believing she's "mature for her age" so that she'll sleep with him. Meanwhile, on the other side of it, those who romanticize young men getting with older women tend to come at it from the angle of "well she's so old and washed up, no man could ever love her, her chance for love and a happily ever after is gone now! it's so wonderful of that young man to give that sad and lonely old woman love and attention!" and yet fail to see it from the same perspective of an older person manipulating a young person with zero life experience, because there's still this deeply-rooted ideology that women are "used up" by age 30 and any man who gives her attention beyond that age range is a hero. Completely neglecting the fact that relationships aren't off the table at all for older single people and they don't need to involve robbing the cradle.

I blame the lack of older couple representation in media tbh, so many mainstream romance stories are basically just this:

To pull it out of the perspective of LO and webtoons for a second (sorry, I'm going on a hell of a tangent here), remember how gross it was when it was revealed in Fifty Shades Darker that Christian had been introduced to the concept of BDSM at age 15 through one of his mom's friends (i.e. an older woman!) who Anastasia calls "Mrs. Robinson"? And they had that relationship until he was 21? And they never really did anything about that, it was pretty much just there to explain why Christian was fucked up but he still got married to Anastasia, an innocent woman who he was repeating the cycle of abuse with, and lived happily ever after anyways?

Yeah. That was pretty fucked up.

#we all need to do better to hold ourselves accountable for shitty behavior #there are def societal issues at play that predispose people to have certain opinions or react differently based on concepts like gender #but true feminism means making a better world for women *and* men *and* everyone within and outside of that binary #it's not “rich and powerful women can do whatever they want because they're boss babes and deserve to be mean"#that's literally more along the lines of white feminism which we've definitely talked about here before #and just gender supremacy as a whole which isn't helpful for anyone #always remember to ask yourself: “is it feminism or is it misandry?”#because a lot of legit misandrists try to moonlight as feminists and really just hurt the cause as a whole

I am obsessed that Jedi: Survivor explores Cal more or less slipping into the dark side/dark behaviors and patterns and how leaning into emotion as a Jedi can make you significantly more powerful though also extremely reckless and aggressive - however a balance could perhaps be reached by Jedi with the patience and support to understand their darker emotions and how it could be beneficial or harmful given the situation. But they fr don’t. Every time something within that vein happens to Cal everyone is like damn… crazy. Anyway

#that being said I am… so sad they didn’t further flesh out Dagan and Santari #like that was a really big part of the genuine first 1/2 or even 3/4 of the game and then… like #I understand it was mostly symbolic and that Cal and Merton saw the foil of their own relationship (kind of) and that love is not a good #enough excuse to be a monster but also like… that parallel did not come in almost at all #the whole game Merrin was based as fuck and pretty emotionally centered #SIGNIFICANTLY more than cal - and - if it was to be a true parallel then wouldn’t Cal have genuinely scared her in some way?#didn’t it seem like maybe when he embraced darkness he should’ve gone TOO far and Merrin would’ve needed to actually fight him to bring him #back to both himself and her?? they… almost… got there on nova garrun or whatever but.?#Dagan and Santari like that was an interesting as fuck relationship and I really REALLY wish they’d come full circle in the end but. didn’t #I felt like there was a bit of allusion maybe Santari had found a way to preserve herself too but. dude. they were so interesting as doomed #narrative antagonists or like whatever. I genuinely thought maybe Bode’s betrayal would be revealed like Dagan bodyswapped him #and that accounted for his seemingly bizarre switch up like. idk. grasping. and I loved the game do not get me wrong #but like. a lot of potential in a foil always and that did not see it through to the sequel #jedi survivor #jedi fallen order #cal kestis #jedi suvivor spoilers #I know it came out last year but. obviously I have just played it now

sending this as a notice of sorts ig? (for everyone that follows you as well)

that cartoon base twt account posts the same 'rise is paused would you watch rise?' post every few days, like at least once a week even

its interaction bait like 99% of the time

yep, they definitely are. though honestly, I kinda get why they did this, even when it's annoying sometimes. getting it to trend might help grab nickelodeon's attention, sure.

so, it's fine to get excited, go crazy even; no one's holding you back. but I think it's best for people to know that posts like that should be taken with a grain of salt.

#someone said that cartoon base is solely made to spite a more reliable cartoon news account lmao #not sure if that's true but that's pretty funny #rottmnt #tmnt #ramble.txt #ask

Still thinking about that post I saw right after the live action atla came out where someone said "they introduced Zuko's backstory TOO EARLY" and I'm sitting there like "bruh. Iroh tells the crew how he got his scar in episode 10 of season 1. They definitely did not bring it up too early" 😂

#there are plenty of valid criticisms but that aint one of them lol #avatar the last airbender #live action atla #atla #tangent in the tags time: i choose to think of the cartoon as the 'true historical account' of what happened #and the live action as the historical drama made 'based on a true story' because we all know how accurate THOSE are 90% of the time lol

Would AI generated images actually be useful when it comes to composite images of people based on eyewitness description? Like I'm genuinely curious if that might not actually be a good application of the tech 🤔

#text post #I've been watching true crime stuff this past week #and MAN are composite sketches based on eyewitness accounts... .... ....bad #Not the reconstruction of a face based on a skull #Those can sometimes be pretty good and rarely look like garbage #but composite sketches never look like any human being I've ever seen in my entire life #They always look like the fucking “have you seen this man in your dreams?” creepypasta

how do terfs grapple with the fact that they're white supremacist losers who think that women are weak essentially like adult babies but that they also bear the apparent brunt of all human pain... liiike ok which narrative are we going with

#you can't have it both ways and i thought the whole point of a 'women empowerment movement' (they aren't that. don't worry. ik)#was that women were strong and capable of doing anything... but then they complain about women losing sports #like first of all why is SPORTS of all things the crux of your entire argument on gender theory #and second of all sports are not cooshy soft shit anyways... they've always been incredibly violent (varies depending on the sport ofc)#like especially if you're going to the olympics for boxing i do not know why you'd expect not to get hit hard LMAO??? it's not like she died #it's this narrative of women's fragility that really only comes into play with white women bc let's be real here... terfs are mainly white #and also is so funny to put into a sports argument because not only are you making women look bad by essentially saying they #aren't good at whatever sport they're playing and therefore need to have a strict sex-based caste system in place so they can win #and also never get any injuries??? in sports??? which are highly competitive and where most injuries happen???#but also you're saying that physical strength is directly proportional to gender which is also very much not true. if that dumb bitch #was up against a different woman who was like a bodybuilder or weight lifter she still would have lost because she fucking sucks #meanwhile so many men have fucking noodle arms. it's just ridiculous to push this narrative like someone being biologically male doesn't #make them better at sports or stronger just like being biologically female doesn't make you worse at spoets or weaker #people are sooooo fucking different more than you could even imagine with your little peabrain #but you wanna be racist and evil so bad because you don't like cock and balls on women #this is just embarrassing at this point like some people aren't born completely one way or the other and some have hormone imbalances.#doesn't make them any less of whatever they are.#i don't understand why fucking genitalia gets people so tripped up but of course of society is so sex-based how can it not i guess lmao #imagine getting so scared that someone w/ a penis is going to rape you on a constant basis that you basically say we need to be eugenicists #you realize you can hold men who rape people accountable AND be a decent human being... right? it's actually very easy
