I still hate this show so much, fuck it all

Every time I thought I was out of fucks to give, somehow this show wrings out the last few fucks I have.

I can’t read anything else because it’s a dumpster fire. Internalised misogyny is all I can come up with as an explanation. And it also appears that women are more likely to give homely-looking nice guys a pass when they do things that are creepy. I’m so over it.

I just want to run around screaming in people’s faces about how this is rape culture. This is the patriarchy.

No, it’s not a violent rape. NO ONE IS SAYING IT IS.

But what Aziz did and how he made Grace feel is basically a perfect case study of male entitlement to female bodies and the need for affirmative consent to be the norm.

And instead people are just dismissing what happened as a “oh we’ve all had bad dates”. NO. A BAD DATE IS WHEN YOU GET THE SHITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOVIE AND SPEND THE LAST HALF POOPING IN A PUBLIC BATHROOM.

THIS IS NOT A BAD DATE. THIS IS A MAN NOT CARING IF THE WOMAN HE WAS PURSING ACTUALLY WANTED TO FUCK HIM.

It seems very obvious that she wasn’t into what he was doing. And instead of letting it be, he kept pushing it. Trying to turn a “no” into a “fine, I guess”.

THIS IS RAPE CULTURE.

yeah, i got harassed for this months back and fandomhatesblaclpeople legit spread some bs about how I wasn't actually black

?!??!?!?!?!?

i’m so annoyed rn

It's like all these nonblacks are literally afraid to let Beyoncé have anything because they feel like if they're unhappy with their life clearly Beyoncé should be miserable and is doing something wrong.

Thank you for this message and I’m quite touched by all the people who’s stood up for me. 

I can’t help laughing at it all though, because it feels so deeply surreal. Like I traveled back in time, am 14 years old and in middle school again, as the OP’s behavior and methods reminds of the people who bullied me back then.

Well I grew up. Other people perhaps, did not.

Why me? I can’t say for certain of course. I’m neither a Jedi nor Charles Xavier, I can’t read minds. But I’m wondering if we’re not back to the default as to why this group starts wank, they’ve been faced with the fact that they’re extremely unlikely to get what they’ve been trying to convince themselves for over a year would happen.

In this case it was the interview with Rian Johnson, which promoted the ReySky theory (so Rey and Kylo will end up cousins and certainly not get together in canon ever, no matter what else happens) and the fact that Rian talked only about Finn, Rey, Poe and Luke, that the movie is going to focus them and that Rey and Luke are going to have the “key relationship”, not Rey and Kylo. In fact, Rian didn’t even mention Kylo in any capacity, it must have been very disheartening given how much they’ve convinced themselves that he is the central character in the ST.

But this completely sidelined any theory they’ve had and really underlines that Kylo is really only in the ST as an antagonist. This story isn’t his, it’s not about him, it’s about Finn, Poe, Rey and Luke. Which is exactly what this group is afraid of and everything they’ve been trying to get away from for the past year and change. Now they have to face the facts, that Kylo is there are Finn and Rey’s narrative foil, that the story of the ST isn’t his story, isn’t about him except as the villain of the piece.

So why me? I think I was just a convenient target. Someone who was loud and insistent at a point where they needed someone to attack, so I got picked. Not saying the OP of that post did it consciously, in fact I’m sure it was entirely unconscious and if faced with this argument is going to deny it vehemently.

But the fact remains that this group have collectively succeeded in convincing themselves that the ST is about Kylo and Rey and that everyone else is entirely incidental and the interview with Rian debunked that big time. 

This realization must have been very painful for them and I was waiting for a big backlash, though I didn’t think I’d be figuring quite this prominently in it. But it’s been happening every single time official sources sidelines Kylo and his “importance” - such as the interview with Daisy where it was heavily hinted that the romance in the ST is between friends. Importance here defined as the role they have given him as a lead character, rather than the one he’s given in the movie which is that of the villain.

So I was waiting to see what would be happening this time. I suppose I’m honored in a way that I get to figure this prominently, I must be more important than I thought to warrant this much attention. Or maybe I’m just the incidental victim, who knows. Still impressed with OP’s dedication though.

And these people don’t want peace, they want canon to comply with their wishes. Whenever it gets clear that canon will not be doing that, they start wank because they have no healthy outlets for their frustration. They’ve build too much of their shipping around the idea that it must become canon, a mentality that I’ll never fully understand.

Maybe this is why I feel back in middle school again, it’s the same damn behavior I saw in other teens when things didn’t turn out the way they had thought it would, or they were faced with rightful accusations of wrongdoings that they couldn’t get out of, and didn’t have any healthy coping mechanisms for it, they located a target to scapegoat on. I was often that target as I have always been loud and called attention to myself. 

Eh, I learned to deal. I just wish other people would get out of that middle school mentality too and find more constructive ways of dealing with emotional distress. I mean, how much couldn’t this person have created in the time it took them to obsessively stalk through my blog and write all that. Man I wish I had that kind of time available to me, my wip list would be a whole lot shorter by now and I’m not even that fast a writer.

Also this from a group that accuses “antis” (whoever that is and it such a nice and vague term that they can twist into meaning any group of people they don’t like) of being obsessed? Pot, meet kettle.

I’m keeping all of this as receipts for next time I hear that argument from this group.

word? they clearly cancelled it too fucking soon… fox doesn’t give shows a good shot.

yes!!

the tl;dr of it is that Dan Fogelman created both Pitch and This Is Us, and his contract with NBC is ending soon. This Is Us is a huuuge moneymaker for NBC and they want to keep Dan under contract so that they can get him to create more hits for them or something so, they’re considering reviving Pitch as an carrot to entice Dan to remain under contract with them.

So it’s a long shot, but STILL.

is there something rebloggable?/is this rebloggable?

yeeeeah, I was like "I thought this was common knowledge that he was a huge creep"

It’s definitely known in the celeb gossip community and probably in a lot of Hollywood circles.

But the general public probably has no clue.
