happy women's day. if youre not one already get started

people make fun of mtg players who think that adding spongebob and teenage sloptant mutant pizzas to the game diminishes it because "well its just a card game its silly anyway" which is just frankly really dumb. it is normal to value a specific tone in art and media! i wager most people wouldnt like it if they were watching a serious thriller film and halfway through a cartoon rabbit walked on screen and starting pantsing the hero every other scene--doesn't mean that they are Taking Movies Too Seriously, it means they think extreme bathetic tonal dissonance undercuts many elements of film that they enjoy. perfectly sensible thing to think innit

I played this for SO many people when it came out a couple of days ago. She's so on-point here.

before anything else you should make sure the metaphors in your art are still interesting when taken at face value

When I was a boy, all the shows on TV taught me that I could do anything I put my mind to. That rules were meant to be broken. That all I had to do was believe in myself and push through. That the greatest strength comes from inside: a willingness to grasp self-determination with both hands and establish yourself in the world. And these are ideals I've held onto, many years into my womanhood. But society doesn't expect such fervent determination from a woman. I think cis women, by and large, get that kind of defiance beaten out of them by the time they are adults. And then they often look at women like me, who dare to swim against the current, and call it male socialization. But I don't think having that raging storm inside me is a bad thing. If anything, I wish all women had it. If anything needs to change, it's the systems that make little girls not believe in themselves the same way little boys do. In my world, we will all be anime protagonists.

Woman who hasn't been held in a decade: oh I'm pretty low maintenance, yeah honestly I think I'd find that overwhelming or something, can I just hold your hand instead? If that's okay of course?

Woman who feels ill at the notion of taking up space: yeah I can stand. Yeah honestly it's no biggie I like standing. Do you mind if I lean here? It's okay to say no.

Woman who would rather die than be considered selfish: I'm really sorry to ask I'm probably just being annoying but could I ask for another pillow? Yeah there isn't one in the room. Yeah no worries I can just bunch up some towels if needed.

Woman who's most outlandish and fantastical fantasies are a coffee date and seeing a movie with someone: oh I don't get out much. Yeah I don't really like being around people. I'm pretty much an introvert. Or something like that yeah.

Woman who would break down screaming and crying if someone showed even a hint of affection in person, who would fall apart at the seams if you held her still and asked her if she was okay, woman who if allowed too would wrap herself around you and sob and weep until she became severely dehydrated: oh yeah sorry I spaced out for a second there. Yeah I'm doing alright.
