Spooky, Scary Skeletons ...

Young men today being SHOCKED and APPALLED that the girls they're dating are reading dark romance like the closet in my grandma's spare room wasn't totally chockers with Mills and Boon books when I was a kid. "Our generation is RUINED because the young women are reading NASTY PORN" if you saw the shit 50 year old women were reading in the nineties you'd hurl.

Honestly, media literacy is so dead these days that I think a lot of y'all WOULD be fooled by the rocks that she's got. Like I could absolutely see people refusing to believe that she's still Jenny from the block just because she used to have a little but now she has a lot, completely ignoring the fact that no matter where she goes, she knows where she came from (the Bronx). It's just sad.

it's really sad to think about that male characters in media will always get grace and sympathy and be consistently praised for being "such a well written character" when he's done some fucked up things and people will brush it aside because He's Traumatized and He's A Flawed And Interesting Character. but female characters who can also be flawed and interesting and have gone through their own traumas that would explain their behavior, but once they do something the audience wouldn't like, they turn on her. and that she's Pure Evil or She's Annoying and that she doesn't deserve any sympathy to the point where they're wishing her to die. and it really shows that a female character would be loved by the fandom if she was a guy. and that a male character would be hated if he was a girl. and that's not even that far off reach! because it's true!

I will always reblog this....it is so important to be able to give them access to help. As a writer I fully support this
