Tea and Crafts

I do encourage you to play BNHA’s “You say run” ost while watching it.  Wanted to animate a sequence and so did i. Still doing these exercices to get better at animating and handling japanese characters, not fond of the compositing but i’m getting better in other parts so i’m strangely ok with it.  Thanks to Claire, who made me realize how wrong i was about season 3′s airing, and thus, how late i was in posting it.

feminism didn’t teach me that men are out to get me. it didn’t persuade me mansplaining existed a là wormtongue or tell me to set fire to my bra. it said ‘hey, has this ever happened to you?’, and it had. 

it said ‘this happens to most women, and it kind of sucks, right?’, and i agreed that it did

and it encouraged me to question and to think: to not assume i had to be quiet and subsurvient, to question why i had to shave and my male friends did not, to use my voice when i was uncomfortable or unhappy

and i was shocked to realise all the garbage around me, but excited to do what i could to change it

and then i started to talk to men about it

and i was told women are sluts and bitches, and that we have it better than men, and that fat women are always unloveable, and that feminism is a hate group, that because the 77 cents figure was disproved no wage gap could possibly exist, that affirmative action is unfair, that women are just not as smart or capable as men, that i should get back in the kitchen, that i was too sensitive, that hot women will always be reduced to their bodies and ugly women will always be mocked for theirs, that mansplaining didn’t exist (this was, of course, mansplained to me), that women just aren’t cut out for STEM, that women these days are uppity, that i was a whore if i had sex and a prude if i didn’t, that i deserved what was coming to me if i took nudes but could i send them some anyway?

i will always fight to protect and support men and their rights. i care deeply about male suicide rates, male addiction rates and the attitude that prevents men from getting help, paternity leave, racial discrimination against black men, toxic masculinity, domestic abuse against men not being taken seriously… 

but goddamn, when i talk to men and have them consistently refuse to acknowledge my experiences are valid, when they laugh and ask if i’m on my period or tell me to ‘smile!’, when they brush me off as a SJW or get angry at me for being a ‘bitch’, it makes me want to say ‘you know what? fuck men. i give up.’

Seriously, I took screenshots.  This shit needs documented.

Like just:

LOOK AT THIS MATRIX BULLSHIT

THAT IS AN ACTUAL ROBOT. WHY ARE THE SOPHISTICATED TOOLS ACTUAL ROBOTS

HELP I AM BEING TARGETED BY A ROBOT

NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS PROGRAM THAT LITERALLY DISPLAYS A LITERAL VIRUS ON THE SCREEN

GOOD WORK ALERT SILVER EMPLOYEE

YEAH, YOU THINK THAT’S YOUR FRIEND?  

 HOW ABOUT IF WE REMOVE YOUR FRIEND’S FACE??

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

okay no I can’t deal with this

there is nothing about this image that is not suspicious.  that is literally the most suspicious screencap of a text message in all of existence. 

like if you look in the background it is directing you to “www.EvilAntiVirus.com” and instructing you to “Install software” and “Please submit” in the kind of tones used by the Borg Queen herself.

ROBOT SATAN IS TEXTING YOU.  GIVE HIM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER; I AM P SURE HE WILL STRAIGHT UP TERMINATE YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DO NOT.

And finally, let me leave you with the sickest burn I have ever encountered in any medium anywhere:

Dumb Journalist: When you were reading the script, did you ever think, why are all these women in here, I thought this was supposed to be a man’s movie?

Tom Hardy: No. Not for one minute.

Peter Howell, the Toronto Star film critic who asked the dumb question tried to defend himself by sending this statement in to Buzzfeed:

“My question to Tom Hardy was intended as the opposite of sexism. I was congratulating him for his willingness to share the screen with so many strong women in a franchise and genre more inclined to celebrate the male over the female. He was also willing to be in a co-lead role with Charlize Theron, in a movie called MAD MAX, no less. I think a lot of male stars might have objected to this, but Hardy is of a special breed.”

OH WE UNDERSTAND NOW, YOU’RE JUST CONGRATULATING HIM FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SHARE THE SCREEN WITH WOMEN. THAT’S LIKE, TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF SEXISM.

Dick and Mar’i, just walking around at night.
