I haven't been in the mcyt space in a few years and even then I wasn't ever big into scott but I AM nosy and this is the first I've ever heard of his misogyny or straightchasing (not sure what that even is). I'm down to kill him I'd just like to know more
where to start! well actually i should just redirect you to mochi @/(un)lorefulgood as the preeminent scott scholar of all time. you will find all of this discussed in better manners and details than i could ever hope to deliver. and they sourced things! unlike this post which is very lazy soz
a "chaser" is a . im sure theres a definition on urban dictionary. his type is straight men, let's just say. this isn't even like speculation or anything like this is rly just observable. the foremost proof of this is w his boyfriend who he loves to joke is a "straight guy" on all accounts except for the fact that he likes scott (not even men, just scott). it's ok though bc his bf likes it too (he calls scott his wife, among the numerous other fucking things that are way too known abt their relationship) and theyre like. meant to be or whatever. like this is so provable that it's kind of dreary to confront just how real it is. his type is also men who are dogs but that's kind of orthogonal to this.
his misogyny is just the very prototypical sort of misogyny you see from cis gay men. or just men. lol. prime example of this one i would say is how he treated pearl in double life ("she's the reason i'm gay", repeatedly calling her crazy, obsessive, psycho, horrible manipulative behaviours all around to treat her as unstable and dangerous that kind of boil down to just her being an emotional woman, no but like it actually was just being misogynistic to our coworker and friend : the smp like it was . something.)
in general he's quite performative in his support of women because of how much he leans on reductive jokes about them (in either direction--either degrading them w old fashioned 2000s comedy movie tropes or doing that thing where he places women on a pedestal and they can do no wrong and theyre so perfect they basically arent people) while he's flaunting his allyship. (which, tbf, he actually does put his money where his mouth is and donates large sums to charities often. and he actually is friends with women and works with them frequently. yay.) (like, he's kind of good in comparison to a large chunk of the mcyt space. but that is. a very bleakly low bar.) (the world is so dark.)
