If it's not a white man, feminising a character doesn't happen on a popular level.

If it's a white man who's masculinity is often called into question, he actually still won't be fully allowed to be feminine.

But if it's a white man, esp middle or upper class coder, they're properly treated as a man without questioning their gender, they have a halo effect from white fandoms. They're often seen as less violent and angry than the other characters (male, female, non-white people of all kinds, etc.). And then they're feminised in a uniquely white way, where they're portrayed as victims in a unique way. They're feminised in the specific way where they're put in opposition to the "crasser" characters. They don't have to be seen as accountable for anything they do.

The white woman character version of this is to make them a lesbian. If they're a lesbian, you apparently don't have to contend with their responsibilities and actions, including their canon support for shit men in the media.

- Respond to asks (I'm so sorry, I promise I'm not ignoring you)

- Respond to whatever other things there are (I have gotten so many notifs in the last couple of days I lost track pretty much immediately, so if I miss(ed) something, again, I'm so sorry and idk where all these notes are even coming from and new followers wtf who are you and why are you here i can't take this kind of pressure)

- Somehow articulate the weird middle ground between positive and negative where I've landed after episode 4

- Try to articulate my feels about the narcissist thing and why it's not okay (the #loki tag, aside from the hilarity, was an interesting place to be last night)

- Try to articulate my feels about Loki/Sylvie (and Loki as having a love interest in general, bc I have some unexpected thoughts about it)

- Misc I guess (maybe start a list of all the fic ideas I've had since this show started airing)

- Attempt to step outside of tv show land and do some fic writing (ch.7 of StFB has got about half of a rough draft going, plus I miss working on my other WiP [still mostly untitled]).
