anti abortion propaganda that tries to like scare you into feeling guilty by reminding you that the fetus has body parts are so funny. "uwu please don't abort me I have eyes at 4 weeks old 🥺" nice try sucker I don't care if you see it coming

liking a straight woman’s critique of a straight man’s misogynistic video and then taking back my like at the end when she tries to make a joke abt him being gay #lol we’re never getting out of here like we’re neverrrrrr getting out of here why are gay ppl driving the bus all of a sudden

the avatar movies are crazy bc "what if colonizers literally inhabited and puppeteered the bodies of indigenous peoples in order to exploit their homeland" sounds like the premise of some sort of anticolonial horror film, like specifically the kind of thing that would be commenting on self-indigenization among white settlers, but because it's James Cameron his whole takeaway from that premise is "it would be preddy cool"

actually sorry. the takeaway is also "the white settler possessing an indigenous body would actually be extremely good, perhaps even The Best, at being indigenous, and he would become their Leader"

James Cameron can't help but make it extremely, uncomfortably clear that he is the exact kind of white guy who thinks fetishization is activism. It's nasty. It's like he saw Pocahontas and thought to himself "Wow, that's such a moving story that really happened exactly as the movie portrays it! I'm gonna make this again, but John Smith will be the main character, he's gonna show up wearing redface, and he'll pretend to be one of them for the sake of the empire. That is, until he invades one of their ritualistic practices by having sacred sex with Pocahontas and decides "Wait... I LIKE being an indian!" Then HE will be the one who rallies them together and saves them from the white devil, because these poor, simple people don't know what strategy is." and then when he presented this idea to someone, they went "James you CANNOT make that" and he replied "What if we did it with aliens?" and they greenlit it.

i hate the new 52 for it's crimes against babs and rose

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. it’s uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you don’t want to see. but rarely that’s seen as the issue and instead the real ‘horror’ or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older woman’s body is treated like it’s something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. It’s just something that really bothers me

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point
