everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

some of you seem to be under the unfortunate impression that i enjoy finishing things. i enjoy making things

Okay I let myself think about it for two seconds and got mad about the way Gem gets treated in the life series and specifically Wild Life. Weird that no one ever gets mad about people like Martyn or Scott tryharding but suddenly when Gem and Joel are on a team it’s a fucking problem. She could have easily won that season if she wasn’t intentionally nerfing herself so that everyone would stop making comments about her being sweaty

Just funny! Funny that the only time Joel ever gets any heat for his (INCREDIBLY TYPICAL FOR HIM) tryhard behavior is when he’s on a team with just Gem! Almost like no one would have noticed if not for his proximity to a woman. Almost like the issue was really just that Gem was also doing well. Do you think they all even realized they were doing it. I can’t even go back and watch my favorite season bc the misogyny makes me angryyyy

On top of all this the way she was constantly being as passive as possible bc of the huge misogynistic response to her zombie apocalypse in secret life (SOMETHING THAT WAS A GAME MECHANICCCC OH MY GOD) just makes me feel like spitting acid I fucking. Haaaaate
