#kill all men is stupid

[cripple-punk-dad]

Apparently this needs repeating since the terfs found me again:

Hating men doesn't make you quirky or a feminist.

Feminism is about equality among all genders. Like that's the whole point.

Men with intersectional identities suffer under the patriarchy. Systemically. Because they are men. Disabled men, MOC, queer men. Fuck off with that "kill all men" bullshit.

omfg I am so behind on this (and yes I’ve only become aware of it because Nicholas Galitzine offof rwarb is in it) but they’re making a fucking Duke of Buckingham series!!!

And you’re all sitting there like “who??” well let me tell you about this absolute fuck.

George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham was the favourite of King James VI&I and by favourite I do mean it in the gayest of ways. (He started life as Sir George, the shittest of titles, and fucked his way to a Dukedom.)

Long story short, here’s a list of things I need to see in this series or I will SUE:

George slut dropping his way into James’s bed. (I mean, he danced for him, but whatever the 17th century equivalent to slut dropping was you can bet George was doing it.)

The exasperation of James’s advisors when he picks yet another beautiful young man to fuck and give totally unreasonable amounts of money and power to.

Even funnier if they show them actively helping George overthrow James’s old favourite before realising “oh shit this one’s worse.”

George failing consistently at every job he was given. (Yes I know he didn’t actually but where’s the comedy in competency? Give me himbo George or give me death.)

Parliament calling James to task on George being a fucking useless nuisance and James standing up in front of parliament and literally saying, “You may be sure that I love the Earl of Buckingham more than anyone else, and more than you who are here assembled. I wish to speak in my own behalf, and not to have it thought to be a defect, for Jesus Christ did the same, and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had his John, and I have my George.” (Huge points for throwing Jesus under the gay bus too.)

James practically arranging George’s marriage for him and then riding his horse around the park crying because George, shock, got married.

What better be the dirtiest sex scenes ever broadcast on British television that lead to the “master and dog” letter.

The consistent drama queenery from James, e.g:

I refuse to tag this as a spoiler because it happened 400 years ago: George smothering James and then playing the heartbroken widow to his son. (Historically debated, if anyone wants details shoot me an ask.)

George getting stabbed to death in what was probably the justified climax of him being the most irritating man alive.

George’s assassin getting the warmest send off ever given by any crowd at a public execution cause the people hated George so fucking much.

Sometimes I can’t help but remember the time my less-transphobic brother asked me in one of those quiet talking-about-life moments that if trans people are this or that gender, what gender are they attracted to?

And I was like oh! This was a question I also had when I was brand new to trans stuff! So first, gender and sexuality are different things, right, and—

And he interrupted with “I don’t believe that.”

And I was just so. Well then how the hell do you expect me to answer your question. You asked me. What do you mean “I don’t believe that.” Not even a skeptical “but what about,” just a flat no that’s impossible. So do you not believe gay men exist, asshole? With hindsight and thinking about it more I think I’d have a better idea of how to respond to that, but several drinks in at 2am on christmas eve I had nothing.

“I don’t believe that.” Okay I got nothing for you then bitch. Live in denial and confusion.

so many people would rather shit themselves to death than bother reading anything about landback and making any attempt to understand decolonization.

ending apartheid in south africa didn't result in a genocide of white settlers and their descendants. freeing palestine isn't calling for another genocide of jewish settlers and their descendants. landback isn't a call for mass genocide and deportation of white americans back to europe.

your paranoia about the expected retribution should the indigenous peoples your illegitimate nation oppresses have their land restored to them is unfounded and racist.

your brain is poisoned by this conception that a hierarchy must exist and if youre not at the top then you must be at the bottom. and especially for white people, who cannot imagine being anywhere other than the top (hence why white people subject to other forms of oppression often perceive that oppression as being the worst form of oppression, rather than as a different facet of the same overarching systems that deem us unfit), the idea of being oppressed by groups that youve been taught your whole life, subconsciously or even consciously, to see as lesser and animalistic fills you with fear.

so many white males need to be taken out back and shot they're so annoying and whiny and demanding

[thepunkmuppet]

idk about anyone else, but i really do want to get to the point in representation and fiction where we can actually have a trans villain.

and they’d be allowed to be the villain; they wouldn’t seen as problematic / bad rep by the community and allies, and not used as an example of how trans people are evil and horrible by transphobes (and of course not written in either of those ways either)

they do a catastrophic time travel spell to rewrite their own history, they summon an eldritch god and sacrifice people to it so that it will give them their perfect body - do you get what i mean?? a trans character that would be complex and tragic and layered but, ultimately, the villain.

idk man, i feel like i’m gonna write this one day. trans people obviously are not evil, but wanting to be pretty or stay young or change previous is often a villain’s motivations - why not use that specific and painful trans angst??

why does Rick Riordan hate the original myths so bad 💀

the Asphodel stuff?? regret? where is that coming from? you fully just made that shit up? out of his ass fr. the fields of Asphodel are specifically an area of neutrality, where the pretty much all mortals go when they die. it's for anyone who lived a normal life, who isn't a hero or a literal monster. it's specifically a neutral zone for people to exist once they die, it has nothing to do with ~your regrets in life~. it's like, a peaceful field of flowers where all your life's troubles are left behind on the surface.

the closest things to that is the fields of mourning/sorrow, but that's specifically for unrequited romantic love and also not called the fields of Asphodel (and also I'd bet money that rr doesn't know what that is) (and also only in Virgil's The Aeneid and not the Odyssey with the rest of what we know of the underworld)

there has got to be a nicer way to say that i don’t care about befriending these cis white men to my friend. Please please i don’t care if they’re nice i don’t care omg😭😭😭 We have nothing in common and so do u guys. pls. Stawp it

[cuubism]

when the impetus to finish a book series is less 'to find out what happens' and more to be able to rant about ur ships on main without spoilers

[bumblingbabooshka]

I like Tuvok canonically having a crush on Noss that he struggles through because it means that something about this stranded spider hunter appealed greatly to him and I want to know what that is

[kcrra]

antis will literally get online and make a post that goes something like: "i fucking hate alicent, i hate rhaenicent, they make me want to kill myself and everybody who likes them, if i ever have to hear about them again i'll end it all, did i mention how much i HATE alicent every time i see her it makes me foam at the mouth" blah blah blah blah blah

and then with absolutely zero self awareness at all, tag their post: #rhaenicent #alicent hightower #alicent x rhaenyra #rhaenycent #alicentandrhaenyra

like. yes. i too, when i hate something, willingly enter the space entirely intended for, dedicated to it, loudly proclaiming my distaste to a large group of people i know enjoy it. oh wait! i'm not an absolute freak, so i don't

um yeah this is an utterly bizarre thing to say like no one is calling him a pedophile they're literally just making fun of how he was mean to a teenage girl for being cringe and then writes supernatural fanfiction. to me its about the frankly misogynistic condescension that everything you do is profound if you approach it as a white man with an MFA and anyone who disturbs your Great Work is deserving of abuse for the moral crime of being stupid BUT even without going there its literally just lighthearted taking the piss bc I think if your whole persona is being excessively condescending bc ur so above it all then yeah it's really funny if u write sherlock and supernatural fanfiction and listen to Cake.

i wwonder how this aged after his continued escapades but either way you're literally the one who made the leap from "watches show for teens" to "pedophile" like please point to the part of this that actually evokes that remotely in any way. getting so so tired of people who act like this you need to grow up
