Jeez, those three responding to you: bdsm porn blogger and self described "a/nti/fem/inist," someone defending the rape of p/or/n actresses by telling the people against it to "get involved in the industry" or to "stop giving them publicity," and an actual p/e/d/o/p/hile. Yeah, I don't think their arguments are gonna hold up.
Thanks man. Normally I’d ignore them, but I’m having a pretty bad day and as if to make it worse these people blew up some old post all over my dash with their gross commentary. Not to mention they took it completely out of context to begin with. I wish there was a way to block posts from getting notes.
It’s pretty pathetic when guys whine about “feminism invading geek culture” There’s always been a lot of female geeks. You’re just upset the industry realizes it doesn’t have to appeal to just you.
Feminism =/= women.
I’m pretty sure plenty of people (both men and women) are getting tired of women like Anita Scamiesian who want the industy to appeal to them and then take any criticism towards them as if it is only because they’re ~women~ and not because they’re scam artist, liars, thieves, etc. or outright produced a bad product.
OP, there’s a massive difference between casually being a “geek”, and going out of your way to aggressively push gender to the forefront as if it matters. And anyway, y'all are the ones constantly saying you’re “taking away” anything from men every time a woman so much as glances at something that isn’t traditionally “feminine” (yet simultaneously crying about “men invading women’s spaces” the second a man appreciates anything non-masculine), but hey–way to be regressive and reinforce outdated gender norms.
This isn’t a game of fucking “Risk” using aspects of popular culture. Everyone can like everything. Chill the fuck out.
Oh, and by the way–it’s not even profitable for anyone to pander to “feminists”. Y'all keep proving over and over again that you never speak with your wallets. Go ask Paul Feig–you’ll find him in his room crying into a 2016 Ghostbusters poster.
Feminists banned some computer games so they literally took stuff away when they moved into the fandom.
Feminists in Paizo even had a third-party boardgame black-banned on the grounds that the players were able to rape each other - games where you can mutilate each other, torture each other, murder each other - that’s fine, but feminists demand to be able to force others to conform, and they don’t want to pretend to rape each other so no-one else is allowed to.
Feminists are totalitarian bitches, and yes, I am using that in a gender neutral form.
What. A bitch.
Ok I was going to ignore you people bitching about this old thing that you’ve all completely misunderstood to begin with, but by now I’m getting pretty tired of your shit
1. I know feminism does not equal women. That was my entire point? Do you see the quotation marks? I was talking about how when there’s more female characters or more female consumers of fandom, there’s guys who’ll call it “feminism invasion”. I am not calling it that, I’m quoting the guys who do.
2. I don’t even know who the fuck you guys are talking about. I was making commentary on the amount of guys crying about there being female mains in star wars and the like.
3. You’re mad because the ability to rape other players was removed from a game? What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Oh my God.
I know the scent of lavender is supposed to be relaxing and all But the brand of litter I buy for my cat is lavender-scented so now every time something smells like lavender all I can think is ew catpoop
A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad
The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.
I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy
Me: adamantly respects people with accents because they aren't speaking their first language and supports them and constantly tries to comfort them when they're embarrassed because they're doing something amazing
Also me: *makes the slightest error speaking my second language* I want to Die
