fandom will talk about a man being every flavor of closeted queer before they talk about his canon misogyny

yeah so i asked myself that and it turns out that in this case the author is usually trying to convey “i hate women”

and it’s crazy because that wasn’t even what my post was about. this one is actually completely about the way fandom interacts with spoken misogyny in fiction, by regularly and extensively conflating it with repressed queerness and/or using (headcanoned) queerness as a tool to justify and excuse the overt textual misogyny. i’m not even talking about WHY the writers chose to make this guy suck about women specifically, i’m just pissed off because i keep watching “omg so gay” tv shows and movies as recommended by other queer people and it turns out the “gayness” is in fact just a man hating women

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

no nuance friday. i wish ai was a person who i could turn into a flea. a harmless, little flea. and then i’ll put that flea in a box, and then i’ll put that box inside of another box, and then i’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives i’ll smash it WITH a hammer!!

not to "trying to be chill but can't help noticing how misogyny bleeds through the cracks etc etc" but once you realize that almost none of the cute disney comic relief sidekicks are women you can't unsee it. like that thing only exists to do some slapstick and look cute for plushies. why can't it be a woman. why are ALL of them he/him. it's driving me fucking insane

I would like to formally apologize to everyone. I had no idea what consequences my actions would create but I should have been more careful anyway. I should have remembered this is a Genie Website and I should have clarified that when I want more female nonhuman comedic relief characters, I did not mean I wanted Olaf the Snowman to have an intensely heterosexual love interest in Frozen 3. I will do my best to go through each post with a team of lawyers going forwards to ensure this never happens again.

quiz: why do lobsters have one claw bigger

They evolved to handle different prey. the larger crusher claw cracks open ahrder prey like a molar tooth, whilst the smaller pincer claw rips apart soft prey similar to an incisor tooth.

theyre lobsided

oh I see! yay!

having ADHD means you know a person who also has ADHD but it's somehow the most debilitating ADHD of anyone who's ever lived and they smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day and drink 3 double-shot espressos by 10 am with more to come by noon and when they see you take your adderall they're like "my doctor prescribed me that but i don't want to become dependent on medication to function."

and sometimes both of these people are you.

Don’t worry I’m vaccinated and neutered

And those nice ladies at the front desk will put me in a funny cardboard box if you don’t have a carrier to take me home in

Like, imagine if the Bunnies were exclusively referred to as the r slur. And other characters were only occasionally referred to as "un-[r slur]." That would be weird. That would feel pointed, because it is. There's a lack of diversity in language when describing characters with cleft lips (except for one time when Samantha described what they look like instead of just using a term for it, in which she confirmed the "drafts/darlings/bunny boys" had CLINICALLY ACCURATE unilateral cleft lips and NOT a non-medical facial feature that just "looked bunny-like"). And that lack of language diversity makes me question the author's perspective. Was she truly just being descriptive because she didn't know the h word is a slur?? Or did she knowingly have Samantha use a slur to continue to illustrate Samantha's meanness? Or did Mona Awad just genuinely have no sensitivity whatsoever to people with facial differences historically facing abuse and discrimination. Like what's going on here ma'am. What. 😐
