If you are complaining about male reader x (male character) fics as a fem aligned person, you need to suck it up, 75 if not 85% of the fics posted on tumblr are for fem reader x male characters, and you’re complaining over the one male reader fic?!?!? Get over yourself.

So stop crying and go do something useful like re-blogging or commenting nice things on mlm fic blogs.

Also stop tagging male reader if your fic is clearly not for male reader, you look like a moron.

they’re not actually that big of plot holes if you consider just how bigoted this society is against supers.

Firstly, tony didn’t have a plan. I don’t believe either side when they say he was thinking about killing or capturing Bucky because that man was not thinking. From his lines and the way he’s brutally lashing out against both Steve and Bucky (his fighting here is reminiscent of how he fought against Killian in Iron man 3) tony is simply acting off of grief. Even the line “do you even remember them?” is indicative that he isn’t thinking properly because he doesn’t even respond to Bucky’s line: “I remember them all.” And the ending line of “My dad made that shield” / “You don’t deserve it” is just him lashing out. Tony didn’t have a plan, he was just lashing out at the people he blamed for his parents’ deaths.

To your point about Bucky being assumed guilty.

They were not in the United States. Not all justice systems operate on “innocent until proven guilty”, especially when there’s a Photo Of You Doing The Crime. And the photo of Zemo dressed up as Bucky made it pretty clear who probably did it

Because Nat dumped the files online, everyone knows about Winter Soldier’s kill streak. They know that he worked for Hydra, and he’s proven himself to be dangerous. Pretty much nobody but Steve and his circle would know that Bucky was brainwashed, the governments only knew he worked for Hydra.

The us government was freshly hydra-free. That manipulation and thinking would still be present in how they operate. Think about it like this

These countries just put the Accords in place, only to be attacked immediately by a superhuman threat. What would be a better way to show how beneficial these accords are, than to apprehend this threat with your non-super armies. The UN had something to prove in front of the entire world.

Not even mentioning the fact that everyone automatically believed the video mysterio made, proving that these people turn on their beloved heroes in a second. It might be Disney-etic writing but it could also be a way to bring a watered-down version of anti-Mutant bigotry into the movies. Most of these aren’t plot holes, they’re just signs of a corrupt people.

Team Iron man fans saying that Steve was wrong for not telling Tony that Bucky killed his parents but honestly, seeing how Tony handled finding out about it, I wouldn't have told him either. Tony was already willing to throw bucky into prison or an institution IMAGINE what he would've done if he found out bucky killed his parents while they still had him in custody. Steve was doing what he always has done, protect Bucky.

People openly supporting the revenge killing of a man who had NO control over his life for the past 70 years and wasn't even conscious for the majority of it because of something he did WHILE BRAINWASHED is insane to me.

(also please don't attack me I'm just stating my opinion TwT)

today’s word is Weaponisation!!!

the act of using something as a way of attacking a person or a group : 

weaponization of He described the weaponization of the legal system to promote a political agenda as fundamentallyanti-democratic.

The weaponization of language is the process in which language can be used to inflict harm on others.

viv uses everything she can, including information about other people that isn’t hers to share, to attack people. She uses the fact that other villains have merch, ignoring the context of her own merch and the context of why people are uncomfortable with that character specifically. Then she uses the criticism itself to defend harmful rhetoric. And of course then she uses her fantastic advocacy for sa victims.

(Also I’ve never seen a creator of a show doing the whole “Well!!! I wasn’t!!! But even if I was!!” Argument. Like bro you’re not a kid anymore you have to do better than that.)

if you can’t handle writing a topic in a show without endearing yourself to the villain who committed a true, happens in real life, sort of atrocity, then you aren’t equipped to write that narrative.

there’s a graceful and an ignorant way to handling every topic and almost media stays somewhere in the middle, with few exceptions for either side. Viv has managed to land so far on the ignorant side that it’s inspired me to start writing with my eyes closed, because clearly that’s how you can get funded by Amazon.

Enjoy. My magum Opus

Apparently I pissed some people off with my arcane post which uh..

oops 🤷‍♂️

my post was specifically about the fact that people on Pinterest were fighting because they refused to think there was any single reason why people might dislike Caitlyn. It’s almost like my post kicked the dog and now they’re yelping or something

Thinking about him specifically tbh

Also. I have to mention the fact that the enforcers don’t HAVE to parallel cops specifically. They’re “enforcers”. Look back in history to any violent regime and you’ll find more parallels between the enforcers and them.

they’re not just cops- they’re the idea of violence carried out via the government, and that’s never been a North American specific issue.

"Stop projecting your America-centric view of cops onto the enforcers in Arcane!" as if the very first shot in season 1 isn't a bloodbath with Vi and Powder's parents having been murdered by enforcers, as if we don't witness multiple violations of their power in season 2 and as if police brutality isn't a global issue.

Even my little pony did “monstrous wolf” better how did vivzie screw this up so bad?

Loona’s feral form is so fucking horrible. It would’ve been so easy to make her look like an actual demonic hound instead of this furry abomination.

Vivziepop is so afraid of letting her female characters look monstrous or animalistic. They always have to be conventionally attractive regardless of what form they’re in.

I think most of the hatred that Caitlyn gets isn’t just the standard misogynistic hatred that female characters get, it’s hatred for the system she represents.

People forget that the enforcers are literally vessels to show Piltover’s dictatorship over Zaun. Enforcers started in LOL as a joke about police brutality (VI’s old attack names anyone?). In our current day and age it’s more than understandable why people might hate the character meant to be the oppressor. Caitlyn isn’t like Ekko or Jinx, she’s not fighting the system she’s a representative of the system.

I’m not saying nobody’s supposed to like her, the show wants to test your boundaries and make you think about stuff like this, I’m just sick of people not acknowledging the very real reasons people may not like Caitlyn. Right now in the US it’s not very fun or calming to see people fawning over a character that gassed a “lower people” with the way our politicians are acting.

This is Edward Cullen behavior

No need to menstruate alone, beautiful. Let me drink from your Forbidden Chalice (Diva Cup). Let me paint my face with my devotion... my smile is already red with lust... and my mind is insane with desire *I chuckle darkly*

Toby Maguire fans when hearing about a new spiderman trilogy: bye bye spidey… :(

Andrew Garfield, visibly perking up as a lightbulb appears over his head: bi spidey? Now that’s an idea.

just in case the wrong type of person (those who will absolutely use this as an excuse to physically harm, harass, or do unmentionable inappropriate activities to unwilling parties) sees this:

Your intent and diagnosis is an explanation but when someone does actually say “hey don’t do that” / “that makes me uncomfortable” / “please stop” YOU STOP. When people are SAYING and actually communicating with you to STOP that’s not something that’s vague or misunderstandable.

of course this doesn’t apply to the implications of people being uncomfortable, because that can absolutely be missed by anyone neurotypical, let alone anyone autistic. But I’m sick of seeing people use this as a scapegoat for straight up assault or harassing people. If people say stop and you don’t? You’re not just an asshole, you’re a freak who’s about to have no friends.

this post cannot apply when people tell you how to change.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

who up hating pop psychology

In the same spirit, my bff accidentally found my dead name on pinterest and made fun of me for a full minute, thinking my mom had a bunch of boards named after a random girl and not a single one for me

My boyfriend found out what my dead name was, then he preceded to roast it for the next 25 mins.

A lot of undercover transphobes simply refuse to accept the fact that not a singular trans person comes out and that same day they magically grow into a perfectly cis-passing man or woman (and only man or woman, because the whole idea of androgyny is mindblowing to them)

Trans people like to write about our experiences and a LOT of us have the experience of not being transitioned! That character i decided was trans in my interpretation isn't fully transitioned because your boy doesn't want to write about someone who's doing better than him!!!!! We are allowed to play with gender expression in headcanons, yes, even with trans characters.

I hate it when I headcanon a character who’s canonically a girl as a trans man and make ships of him and a character who’s canonically a guy and I refer to it as a gay/mlm/guyxguy/whatever ship and someone gets mad. Like omg let trans people have FUNNNNN. Why are queer headcanons and genderbends cool until they’re saying that the character is trans???

“OMGGG you’re so misogynistic I can’t believe you would erase FEMALE representation!!!”

and like half of the characters in the franchise are women, and a total of… NONE of the characters are trans men. Also, my headcanon doesn’t change the source material. If my stuff upsets you, you can block me and go engage with the source or maybe every single other fanwork, since mine is the only trans man hc for this character that I’ve ever seen.

or when people are like “WTF??? this is so transphobic!!! how dare you imply that a character who looks like that could be a trans man?!?! do you think that trans men are women or something??? she uses she/her, and you’re misgendering her!”

No, I don’t think that being a trans man makes you a woman or vice versa. That’s why it’s a headcanon, and the headcanon is that this character is actually a trans man and not a woman at all! You’ll never guess what pronouns most trans men had to use at some point in their lives, and you really won’t like it when you find out about pre-(or no-)transition trans men… or trans men who are in the closet… or trans men who don’t know that they’re trans yet.

“But the character is a kid!!! Saying they’re trans is sexualizing them.”

I’ve seen this one from other queer people. Like did you miss when all of the homophobes said this about your identity, or do you think that bigotry is only bad when it’s directed at you?

“Why would you say ‘testosterone could fix her’??? Are you trying to call her a delusional woman?”

Why would your brain even go to that first? This literally has to be a bad faith reading, because there’s no way that someone could see what I said and get this unless they were specifically looking for something to be mad at me for.

(Note for anyone unaware: “Estrogen would’ve fixed him!” was a meme going around at the time I said this. I’m not sure if it’s still super big, but this was a joke to the effect of that.)

“So girls can’t be tomboys anymore? You just wanna trans everyone?”

This is like actual real life transphobic rhetoric. This isn’t even just shitting on my headcanon, but in fact, sending transphobic hate to a trans man. Thanks 👍. Maybe you should go send JK Rowling another message about how much you loved her essay instead of bothering me.

I think someone desperately needs to explain the concept of statistics to “men are more unsafe walking home alone at night!!!!!!!!!!” guys.

because it’s seriously concerning to see people endlessly spouting that fact and not thinking just a little longer about what that actually means. Ignoring the fact that I actually looked for any sort of study that suggested even remotely that men were more likely to be attacked physically, do none of you realize that means they survived long enough to report the incident? More men reporting being attacked means they survived the encounter. Less women reporting incidents doesn’t inherently mean they’re not getting attacked, it just means they didn’t report it.. wonder why…….

Hey so "all men are trash" posts help terfs

I'll explain if one of you want

This is a long as fuck post for me but… Fujoshi discourse is old kinda but Pinterest comments are rancid places and there are very recent comments either not understanding what’s so bad about fujoshis or straight up in support of fujoshis so like UH:

First of all reducing queer men as a whole down to something for cishet women to obsess over and get off to is disgusting. Full stop.

Fujoshis and their ilk essentially see MLM relationships as inherently more sexual than others. A piece of media that depicts a relationship between two men or two boys with absolutely no mention of anything sexual will still be seen as sexual in nature by fujoshis simply because it was about two dudes, which feeds in to the harmful idea that queerness is inherently sexual and therefore inappropriate. Think about how, after Luca (2021) came out and everyone was talking about how obviously queer it was, there was a pushback about how headcanoning these two boys as queer at all was automatically dirty or wrong or even pedophilic because to those people being gay = having gay sex or whatever. A straight relationship wouldn’t be treated this way, because there is an understanding that being straight does not automatically equal having sex, but that same understanding is not applied to queerness.

A lot of fujoshis are drawn to MLM media or relationships because they see is as like “sinful” or scandalous, which makes it more enticing to them. I should not have to explain to you in any way how seeing gay people as sinful or wrong is homophobic.

In addition, a lot of the media fujoshis are drawn to is not just depicting MLM relationships, but depicting incredibly unhealthy or abusive MLM relationships. Fujoshis tend to like shit like CMBYN and fucking Killing Stalking, two disgusting pieces of media that I really don’t want to think about right now but depict decidedly unhealthy or straight up abusive relationships but are romanticized by fujoshis and fujoshi-type creeps. Which then feeds into the idea that queer relationships, especially MLM relationships, are abusive whether it’s emotional, physical, or sexual. CMBYN in particular also feeds into the idea that queer people are sexual predators that prey on children or teens. Both of these ideas are absolutely disgusting and deeply homophobic and fujoshis often reinforce them.

Moving on, in media where the MLM pairing isn’t actually canon, fujoshis are absolutely awful to the female characters and, if the media is a television show or movie, the real life women who play those characters. A lot of times they see an MLM ship, any MLM ship, as automatically more progressive and meaningful and good solely by being queer. Sorry for bringing up BBC Sherlock in current year, but think aggressive Johnlock shippers from the BBC Shitlock era of tumblr hating on the character of Mary Morstan before she was even introduced because she would “get in the way” of their precious queerbait ship or sending hate to Lucy Liu, an actress on a different (and better) fucking show purely for playing a woman on a Sherlock Holmes show. They acted like, because the version of Watson that Lucy Liu played was a woman, a hypothetical romance between her and Holmes wouldn’t be as meaningful or progressive because it wouldn’t be gay, despite the fact that positive representation of interracial relationships is just as meaningful as a queer relationship, even if they’re straight. The hatred sent toward Lucy Liu specifically often also descended into blatant racism. 

ALSO those same cis and often het women who fetishize and obsess over MLM ships and media are often really lesbophobic! In the average fujoshi’s mind, queer men = sexy and enticing, while queer women = unsexy and often straight up gross. The cishet woman/girl who obsesses over her precious gay ships is likely the same cishet woman/girl who is “uncomfortable” around sapphic women/girls because they- gasp!- might hit on them! The same cishet woman/girl who thinks it’s so important to read MLM fiction refuses to show that same support for sapphic fiction. To them, MLM romance is “cute”, “sweet”, “charming”, and “enticing” while sapphic romance is at best “boring” and at worst “gross”. To bring up the whole BBC Shitlock VS Elementary ordeal, how many of those Johnlock shippers who hated Elementary because it wasn’t a blatant queerbait gay would have been as supportive of a Sherlock Holmes retelling where both Watson and Holmes were women? Of a hypothetical retelling that had actual canon queer rep that was between two women instead of two men? Much to think about.

Also you will rarely ever see a fujoshi showing actual support for actual queer people. They don’t care about the real people they’re fetishizing. A fujoshi doesn’t care about queer people of all kinds that are facing bigotry and violence, a fujoshi doesn’t care about actually learning about real queer people and queer history, a fujoshi doesn’t care about supporting queer people, they only care about the fictional queer men that they use as their porn.

Anyway that’s all I can think of right now but I’m sure there are more reasons that fujoshis are the scum of the earth. Peace and love <3.

"It's hurting trans eggs when you say something against fujoshis!!!1!1!!1!11! 😭😭😭"

As if Fujoshis weren't transphobic towards trans people (especially trans men, who they claim get hurt if you say something against rotten girls.) Like... Stop pretending your brain dead ass could accept a guy who is pre T.

We don't need the fetishization of mlm people to figure out who we are. 💀 There's a difference between simply liking mlm mangas, and thinking it's sinful when two men make out and having to make it your entire personality!

-sincerely, a trans guy.

I am personally annoyed at the fans who take Garretts words as gospel...

Like sure it's fun to have him "confirm" characters as queer,but his word isn't god's, he's just one of the many people who worked on the project, albeit more popular.

G1 as we know it is dead,why can't we focus on the actual cannon representation we have in g3? Like,the infighting is so fucking nasty and for what? So you could be a little louder about your own headcannon and gatekeep and harass those who don't fit it?

Ugh the fandom is annoying sometimes istg

Idk if this is a hot take or not but I genuinely like most of the G3 monster high designs. Like hey, just because it's not the same vibe as the original doesn't to automatically make it bad. I can also agree that the quality of the clothing/accessories has probably fallen (like with every other doll line over time) but the general designs are still pretty good. Sure there are a couple wonky ones, and plenty of critiques to be said about erasing certain representations to be replaced with other less tactfully done (who tf thought it was a good idea to make Lagoona a Latina stereotype?????) but I genuinely appreciate this generation trying new things in reference to diversity. Anyway yeah I'm sad that the cute cartoon got canceled because a bunch of millennials refuse to support new projects for a newer generation of kids. (Lowkey gives the same vibes as when a couple gets together in a show and all of the anti-shippers rally so hard that they end up just killing off one half of the couple or changing the story but anyway)

A g1 stan will say “I have no problem with g3 catty’s body! it’s just her outfit that I hate.🥺”

And then immediately make her skinny again in their “fix-it” redesign. (And remove her micro braids but anti blackness is a different type of pungency for a different post.)

You’re not being slick. We do see that.

But then again this is the same people who freaked out and called Draculaura “horrifically obese” for… being mildly curvier and short.

No wonder they can’t handle an ACTUALLY plus sized character.

hi babes bc i STILL keep seeing people diss on g3 bc it’s not the exact same as g1 LMAO

“hey guys im here to correct on some misinformation in what a reboot is. a reboot is what it sounds like - it is a reimagining of a series. they’ll take old concepts, characters, or even just the franchise name and breathe new life into it.

“a lot of people will say a reboot isn’t necessary, BUT that’s coming from a fan of the originals, not from people who know the original sold. monster high in my opinion is the best example of what i’m talking about because generation one of monster high was only profitable really for about three or four years and that’s why it ended and that’s why they did the generation two reboot.

“so generation three was actually workshopped for YEARS by people who knew what they were doing. generation one of Monster High came out in 2010 generation three of Monster High came out in 2022. these are totally different markets.

“and as much as doll collectors hate to hear it - these are for children. the market that they tested and research with was children. as much as it might be a little bit sad to think ‘oh they changed my favorite character’ the originals still exist, you can always tune back in and check it out. at the end of the day, these are businesses. they don’t really care about your feelings, they’re just trying to make money off of an old familiar franchise again.

“i’m not super knowledgeable about holly hobbie but this is one of my original holly hobbie dolls and this is a new one and i’m pretty sure these are both the character carrie. they decided because when the originals came out, they did not have really any diversity other than hair color, they decided to add diversity of the line and completely reimagined them. a doll like like this would have not been successful in the early 2000s. this one wasn’t either but they tried something new.”

-brick (@/xcanadensis on tik tok)

***it might not be an exact translation but i tried my best T-T i replayed it about 90 billion times and words have no meaning now***

people will literally (rightfully) criticize bronies for complaining and hating a children’s show and forcing every aspect to change to cater to the adult audience that it was never meant for, then in the same breath whine about monster high no longer being catered to them (an adult)

I hate Disney because they’re greedy

I hate Netflix because they’re morally corrupt

But I hate Monster High for a secret third thing (Gen 1 fans being whiny)

NOBODY TALK TO ME YET. I JUST FOUND OUT THE SECOND SEASON OF ARCANE COMES OUT TODAY. IM NOT READY!!!!!!!!

It’s crazy how many people just don’t understand why a lot of aro and or ace people don’t like that Alaster gets shipped. It’s not that hard to understand we don’t have a lot to let ourselves lose. I mean can you name 10 asexual characters? 5? Can you name two aro characters. There’s the guy from Archie who they made have a sex scene in a movie version. There’s a few books. I think a background character in Heartstopper? Do you see the theme here??? You’re all queer people, do you not get it? How it feels to have nothing? Is it so wrong to be upset that there’s finally an outwardly aroace person in popular media and instead of people embracing that they’re fighting on the internet about why it’s ok to ignore it? And I will never in my fucking life have anything against the people who are aro and or ace and portray him in THEIR experiences, even if it is a romance or sex favorable experience, but it is obvious that way too many of you guys are allo and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t even like him as a character that much, he isn’t even made by an aroace artist. The show isn’t even that fucking good, I just want to keep someone like me for once in my life. If there were a million other aroace characters I wouldn’t care, but it just hurts seeing erasure coming from my own community. It just sucks, man, I don’t know. It just sucks

sick of seeing disparaging comments towards men just for the sake of it.

“Ew, men are so gross looking.”

YOURE gross looking leave that boy who didn’t ask for your opinion alone!!!!! Just because it hurts a man doesn’t mean its feminism.

I love boys so much. Like so much. I love when they have long hair or no hair. I love when they do something passionately and refuse to back down from a problem. I love when they’re vulnerable and ask for help. I love boys.

if you like wrestling, Stephen Amell, Alexander Ludwig, or even just good drama, watch Heels. It’s on netflix right now and the more you watch the higher the chances for season 3

it’s a good show with characters that feel real in a way not a lot of shows feel like

TW FOR SU1CIDAL THINKING IM OKAY NOW IM TALKING ABOUT THE PAST

not to get vulnerable on main but a few years ago I didn’t think I’d make it this far in my life and I’m just amazed now looking at all these people that not only know me, but want to be around me. Like, people miss me when I’m not in the room. It’s bizarre to go half your life thinking that you could just walk out one day and nobody would notice to one day you wake up to people spamming you funny cat pictures or bugging you because they want to call you or spend time with you. I’m known. I’m loved. I made it. Happy birthday me.

the genuine anger and hurt that comes from trying to plan your own damn birthday party after you didn’t even want to have one and actually getting excited to put everything together only to find out that nobody you want to be there can actually attend is so fucking frustrating.

how come every time it comes to something I want to happen nobody actually takes the time to attend

what the fuck is even the point I don’t understand

I know you’re not supposed to care about birthdays and stuff as you get older but what the fuck. Birthday party after birthday party for all these other people and yet when it comes to me only three people are willing to attend? I don’t fucking get it why does it seem like everyone in my fucking life have this weird “oh he can take care of himself” mentality

newsflash I’m literally backsliding in my mental health so hard if I’m not actively disassociating I’m crying.
