argumentative antithetical dream girl

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

it’s getting to a point where creators could literally say ‘hey yeah this character is romance and Sex repulsed aroace. Don’t ship them, and if you do you probably don’t care about aroace people getting representation in queer spaces.’ And all the allos will be like “what did they mean by that??????? Okay but they’re gay rigjt??????

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

rummaging for an earl grey teabag like its a cigarette

i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

you seem avoidant for a girl who’s so hungry to experience the full breadth of human connection

Watching my knight absolutely destroy an enemy knight and I mean like completely obliterating the poor guy and then have him turn around, blood all over his armour, just to look at me and waiting for my praise.

sorry I love this painfully mid media so much I could throw up

eating rice, there's definitely an upper limit to how much you can eat, but thinking about it in abstract? when filling a plate? it's hard to conceive of it. that's what makes it so dangerous
