#is it the obvious misogyny

For the record on a scale from 0 to Endgame, my rage at Women Are A Slur About Mental Illness And This Asshole Man Is Extremely Reasonable: The Movie is approximately a 12.

here are all the recs I posted for femslash february 2024...! each individual rec post can be found in my femslash feb recs tag. I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to do this because work got super chaotic, but in the end I couldn't bear to skip out on a leap year. that's a whole extra day for yuri.

last year I focused on official releases, so this year I wanted to focus on series that aren't technically officially available (plus a french-japanese film). fan translations are always a dicey for artists/translators/publishers/etc because obviously they need to get paid... but yuri's already such an overlooked genre that—in an official capacity—we end up with a couple drops from what's already a pretty small pool. I read hana to hoshi about a decade ago, and I keep submitting it to the seven seas survey for licensure! and yet!! no dice. and even when there are official releases, sometimes they just... disappear!? wish you were gone was licensed and then taken down, so for a while the only way to read it (if you missed out on buying it) was the fan translation. I think it's important to support artists and official releases, and also, to appreciate the thankless endeavor(/crime) of scanlation.

hope yall find something you like!

Ok but you see how being trans might change the experience of being a man right. Like you can see how trans men and cis men are treated differently. And you notice trans men have to deal with shit like OBGYNs and misgendering when cis men don’t. And you recognize that some trans men aren’t treated like men at all if they’re closeted or just in a transphobic environment. But you don’t think any of that might affect how much male privilege they experience? Really?

its *MY* deeply misogynistic anime that I watched in middle school and *I* get to look at yaoi on Pinterest about it

When people describe Arya being forced into situations where she literally has to fight for her life as her "choosing violence"

shoutout to selfshippers with female f/os who are unjustly hated in fandom. because they "get in the way" of a popular ship, because they're "too mean," because they're villains or morally gray or just dare to do anything that inconveniences the protagonist. because they're rude, or not feminine enough, or feminine in the "wrong" way. because they fuck up and don't spend the rest of their life groveling at the feet of everyone in their life for daring to not be perfect all the time. your understanding, respect and love for them mean more than any of the crap other people say about them, and you fit with them perfectly. your ability to see past bad-faith and often downright misogynistic criticism is just more evidence of how perfect you are for them.

proship‏‏‎ ‎this is not for you. + this is not about bigots or sexual predators. that hatred is in no way unwarranted.

NEVER STOP!!! everytime I get mad over DOTC I just come onto your page and read your Gray Wing slander and immediately feel better, thanks muchly! 😌✨️

I am but a humble DOTC Slander ranger, riding across the sunlit horizon with a big iron on my hip, putting every hater's formless frustration into the words you felt but did not realize how to say ✨️

I’ve said this before but I firmly believe that fatphobia and ableism are intrinsically linked

I think I just found three screencaps that perfectly sum up Kataang...

Zuko, stepping aside: The avatar is the real hero

Katara, swooning to twinkly sound affects: Wow, I, a woman, must suddenly fall in love with the hero, obviously! This misogynistic generalization in the film industry makes so much sense all of a sudden! Oh my!

everytime i look in the lilith tag I see so much hate and antagonism for her, like my god. we barely know much about her but some people are just desperate to hate on her while woobifying male characters and I can think of one word why.

do fandom people realize that gleefully firing off mean little zingers at the socially accepted online target of the week for clicks is functionally identical to the way high school bullies use cruelty for clout, or do they lack that level of self awareness?

why does this fandom act like dany never suffered again after she gains her dragons? i saw an improperly tagged post on my for you page here and in the tags people are genuinely saying that after dany births her dragons, she never experiences sexual violence or oppression again unlike sansa who has to use her "ladies charms" to survive. i couldn't believe my eyes as i read tag after tag explaining why dany is a girlboss who never experiences anything bad after agot. what is wrong with tha fandom?

It's cause! A subsection of Stansas have adopted the show's (misogynistic) logic that suffering = deserves a good ending, so they want to play the suffering Olympics so Sansa ends up looking the most deserving of a happy ending. They're constantly downplaying other female characters and their trauma to fit their logic. Dany has dragons -> which offers her protection -> which means she hasn't suffered as much as Sansa. Arya has a sword -> which means she can fight back -> which means she hasn't suffered the same way Sansa has. Cersei has power -> which means she has control over her circumstances -> which means she hasn't been victimized the same way Sansa has. And so on and so forth. It's nothing but thinly veiled misogyny based on fundamentally misinterpreting the books cause the story being told doesn't make their favorite look special enough for them. Even a cursory glance at the books would prove these takes incorrect but something tells me they haven't taken the time to actually read them.

men can make jokes about wanting to fuck kids and make jokes about performing oral sex on a sixteen year old or joke about how they masturbate or joke about the idea of them fucking their decade older friend or say they’re legal when they’re sixteen and then double down and talk about how he can totally fuck when he’s sixteen so it’s not weird or make said sixteen year old say that they love them in private or joke about a colleague raping a thirteen year old girl and then deny literally all of that and claim the sixteen year old came onto him and is the one to blame because he also made sex jokes and get away with it while women who are survivors of grooming can go “huh it sure is good that people this year aren’t raping children” and then they get called the one making fun of victims. you can laugh about a thirteen year old getting raped if you’re a dude and then just go “well i didn’t mean it like that 🥺” even though there’s no other way it makes sense in context but if a girl makes a joke about her own grooming and doesn’t stay silent forever then good heavens how dare those uppity bitches mention that there’s a problem with abuse in an industry there might be children watching! male children, because who gives a shit about girls. this is just blatant misogyny. you all fucking hate women and you hate victims but you especially hate women who are victims. I’m sick and tired of this blatant, violent misogyny being normalised in this community.
