Wish We Could Have An Adult Conversation About How Media Has A Trend Of Ignoring Male Characters Getting

Wish we could have an adult conversation about how media has a trend of ignoring male characters getting sexually assaulted and seemingly pretending it never happened. How movies/shows/cartoons etc make male characters go through sexual assault without even mentioning that what they went through is sexual assault. A recent example that comes to mind: Hughie Campbell in 'The boys' getting sexually assaulted in one episode which is treated as a joke and an episode later raped by a shapeshifter pretending to be his girlfriend and how the latter isn't even considered to be a 'bad event' for him but treated as if he knowingly cheated on his actual girlfriend. So often male characters go through shit that make me go: what the fuck? And it's as if the writers don't even register that what they're writing is something a normal human being would be fucked up about because they happen to be writing for male characters. It's not specifically about the example it's about the choice in media to ignore sexual boundaries for men and often treat them getting crossed as a non event or even as a joke.

how to watch the bionicle movies in chronological order:

watch bionicle 2: legends of metru nui but then stop before the final scene

watch bionicle 3: web of shadows but then stop before the final scene

watch the rest of bionicle 2: legends of metru nui

watch bionicle: mask of light

watch the rest of bionicle 3: web of shadows

watch bionicle: the legend reborn and realize that this skips a ton of story that was never adapted to film

I really love your "waifu stickers", do you mind if I drew the designs sometime? I really dig the zero-suit look they got and want to try my hand at it. I'll credit you if I post it on here!

Cheers, really enjoying your work so far!

You're legit one of my favorite artists, I would love to see how you interpret just a silly idea I had for stickers for my water bottle lmao I know I just did a zero suit nokama but the original design was actually inspired by Spartan techsuits from Halo. But seriously, go for it
