Trans male excellence. Free. Unashamed. Euphoric. Winning the IDGAF war. Whos gonna stop him from entering the mens bathhouse, god? I think not 🚫 another win for big breasted men everywhere!
Used to do this to my dad by showing him photos of me ages 2-7 and going "look at me, I'm so cute here! I'm so precious. Did it make you angry that I'm precious and cute and loved you" and watching him shut down and absolutely seethe over this observation was so awesome
Its crazy because Hobie is probably the LEAST aggressive of all of the spiderpeople in the movie. Like hes one of the only people who doesn't yell even ONCE in the movie.
WHO IS THIS WOMAN ON THE ISRAELI NEWS TALKING ABOUT HOW FORTNITE IS POPULAR IN PORNOGRAPHY AND PEOPLE FIND FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ATTRACTIVE. AND WHY IS BOWSETTE IN THE BACKGROUND
I'll add that Israel lowered the age in which someone can be imprisoned SPECIFICALLY because they wanted to imprison him. the level of evil on display is supervillainous. It is vile in all ways you can imagine
One of the most disturbing stories is that of Palestinian prisoner 'Ahmad Manasra' who was arrested as a child at the age of 13 in 2015 and is still imprisoned despite developing mental health issues.

Also I hate the "moe horror twist" genre so much recently it's just so annoying. It feels like nobody is using Moe deconstruction in an interesting and clever way anymore. I don't know about school live but the rest of these just dont
I think if you do read spiderverse as a metacommentary on nerd cultures obsession with cherry picked "canonicity" in comics, miguel as a character becomes especially funny because (and even miles points this out) he too, isnt a "traditional" spiderman. Which I feel is purposeful
Junji Ito's tomie is a really interesting dissection of the concept of a "succubus". The idea of a woman who "manipulates" men into being obsessed with her, spun on its head into being a woman who's cursed to have obsessive and violent attention from men, out of her control. -
Brand-new license announcement! MY SECRET AFFECTION, a sweet shojo manga series by Fumi Mikami. After meteorites from space turned everyone on Earth gay, what happens when a girl falls for her childhood friend who’s a boy?
You can tell the people who wrote those scripts were all 60 years old because theyre all about that traditional, white supremacist tradwife femininity. Like this is Exactly the reason goth girls were so hated at the time. They were "untraditional"
- because obviously he feels like I'm deminishing the hard work he did to become better, but my dad 7 years ago would've sold my dog and broken my arm for this sort of joke. He's improving, and I love him and forgive him even if sometimes not completely🫶
Just so everyone is aware: while my dad did beat me most of my childhood and pretty violently (grabbing my arm to throw me against the wall sort of violent) he is my dad, I love him dearly, and hes since then been to therapy, and changed drastically. He gets upset over this -
@marxistnila
YEAH my dad's been in therapy for like, a very long time (after he was arrested it was either prison or therapy and he chose the latter) and he doesn't find this joke funny at all but since he's going through anger management therapy he just sits there and seethes quietly
Not to be really basic but I think Saturn devouring his son hits a very sick spot in my heart. Like I think for one it's a very raw painting but I also always felt very attached to the presentation and concept. It's gorgeous
extremely rare portrait of a same-height couple where the guy is not built like 5 storey building in this unfortunate climate of shoujo…. perceive them deeply into the deepest part of your soul bcs you will only get to witness this perfection once in a blue moon

:
To claim anthy is "enjoying" victimhood..1. Maybe "comfortable", comfort in the familiar, the criticism made in part by the show is often women will fear what the "unknown world" where they are liberated looks like and therefore not make an effort to see it but... Enjoying???
saying anthy enjoyed being in a state of victimhood and had no sense of self-awareness until the end of the show is definitely A Conclusion…… not a good one though!
Anthy is compelling because she was WRONG!!! because she did BAD THINGS and GREW!!! She is not perfect, but thats what MATTERS MOST because women under stress, under trauma, survivors of abuse, dont NEED to be perfect to be protected from, and lifted out of abuse!
Pmmm had a reason for the Moe twist, its about deconstructing ideas of "girl sacrifice" common in magical girl anime; like, the idea it's GOOD for women to be destructively self sacrificial is so often presented in magical girl anime. What did ONK need that for
- like, a lot of the shit tomie experiences if just a much more extremist version of misogynistic violence. Even if she is "evil", it's not her fault that she's continuously slaughtered and murdered over and over. It's something forced on her. Some violent urge -
Make your gay characters complex. Problematic. Nasty fuckers who do bad things. Unapologetic. Evil. Manipulative. Unlikeable. Three dimensional. Villainous. Not just the ‘cute’ teens holding hands.
Notoriously women have the ability to blow fog away with their mere presence unlike the tragic strong men who must walk through fog, without any control on how the weather changes... Women are so cruel💔 they won't even change the weather for mens walk home...😔
- in the people around her, mixed with their attraction to her.
I'll say that I think the metaphor can sometimes be a bit muddy, because I think the fact it's a "curse" kind of takes away from the blame on the people victimising her over and over. It's still really interesting
@angel24866
Wow you know, this was actually a response to this exact thing!!!! My dad used to show me photos and say THAT EXACTLY so I decided to start repeating it back to him with the same sentiment
"i'll take care
of you."
"that's not very
Feminist miss utena! "
"Youre right.
Women's liberation is
A joint project, not
A one sided job!
We will care for
EACHOTHER as a team!"
Maybe it's honestly better to read tomie as a manifestation of the anxiety men have about being played by very attractive women, or becoming obsessed with them. The ridiculous version of events where they really have no control over themselves, where they really "didn't mean to"
Like, the trait that makes miles an "anomaly" irl to others wasnt that hes not peter parker (no matter how much people claim thats the reason) but because, he is black! But miguel has fucking, vampire powers and claws and tons of other bullshit, and yet, /hes spiderman/.
Its truly rich to see snl, notorious for sexual assault allegations and being a hostile working enviornment for women, mock a business which actually took quick steps to fix these exact sort of issues. Truly revealing stuff
People constantly point out that miguel is an "anomaly" himself
- peter b parker tells him hes not funny
- miles points out his claws asking him if hes "really spiderman"
- gwen mentions hes unique because hes a vampire spiderman
- he says himself "im not like the others"
The misogyny they never unpacked inside her killers, finally given room to flourish to the worst version. Association of violence and attraction, control, possessiveness, owning a woman like an object, slaughtering her like an animal.
I guess you can read it a lot of ways
He is edgy as fuck, not very funny like the rest, but the moment someone diverges from the canon in a way he sees unfit, THAT person isnt spiderman. What makes spiderman "spiderman", is, not a set rule, yet he has decided there is one.
Ikuhara will create a woman who does some VILE shit some EVIL stuff and everyone in the audience will be like "my poor little meowmeow. My scrimblo. My blurbeoef. Im horse plinko" every single time
"now a days, millenials find it much easier to masturbate to fictional characters, do to their emotional connection with them. It seems less and less young people are dating now a days because of this" BIFCH WHATS DDBBEVEHEVEHEBW WHY IS IT ON THE NEWS
But he is OBSESSED with maintaining "canonicity". Despite himself obviously being an anomaly, he is CONVINCED that an anomaly in /specific events/ is what "defines" spiderman. Obviously its because of his own tragic backstory but like, it feels pretty clear thats the intent right
I feel like it's pretty obvious how shattering it is to hear ikuhara is a fucking creep, and my heart goes out to anyone who's been impacted by him, but I wish the "I always knew he was a creep" crowd would shut up for once in their life because Holy Shit!!!!
The way this straight up isn't true at the point he is discussing because only after anthy attempts to kill herself utena finally comes to the conclusion that the whole time she has been projecting on her completely, and dismissing what she might want from her. Ohh
It's just not that clever or interesting if the point is just shock value. Like "AHHHH the character who looks like a cute Moe anime girl is a PEDOPHILE!!!!! Gahhh!" What else are you trying to say!!!! That's it?
Miguel cherry picked the events and things that make someone a spiderman; he, like the nerds hes probably based on, has no true basis to what MAKES someone spiderman, besides "this is what the world decided makes you spiderman so we cant do anything different"
I love when a ship has a person who's fighting the gay allegations with their life and another person who confirmed the gay allegations the moment they started
@catboykomaba
My assumption is its just his archetype; hes a cool punk who takes no shit, so ofc hes depicted in the movie as the type of guy who just speaks in a very cool monotone way, because when it's not punching nazis and fascists, he doesn't feel the need to waste his time.
Hate on Andrew Tate all you want, but if shit hit the fan and your neighborhood turned into a crime zone, he’s exactly the kind of guy you’d want around. I know it, you know it, and the guy in pink nail polish wearing a “Feminists Rock!” t-shirt knows it.
And like it doesn't always have to be SUPER deep but I feel like the reason needs to be for more than just one twist; franken fran for example frequently uses this "Moe horror" trope to emphasize the comedic elements in the manga. That's an interesting artistic choice!
I think what really hits me about rgu is that anthy despite everything is still worthy of love; anthy has done so much harm, but she's not a bad person. Shes also allowed to be loved, if she just opened her heart to the possibility, if she just accepted that love
So some closing thoughts on today's protest
On the way out of the protest today, I was called a whore, I was told I'll be raped. I was called a disgusting traitorous woman. My friends, many of which are in-between the 16-20 age bracket and I were chased by the right.

The response to this thread is so funny I've been going over the quotes for a good 15 minutes because I can't stop giggling over the idea that people genuinely think that a twitter thread would stop a real life cannibal from eating people
cw // cannibalism
discussion about the medical reasons why cannibalism is NOT A GOOD IDEA (i cannot believe this is something that needs to be explained.)

alright so im. seeing people try to defend “legal cannibalism”.
not only is this based in racism, BUT!! (cont.)
Saionji: women are just tools to uplift men
Miki: women are fragile things which can become sick and twisted the moment they're tainted with "impurity"
Touga: women have a role they need to fulfill, and deviation from it is unnatural
Akio: women ARE EVIL! THEY MUST BE CONTROLLED!
My question is like, why is the focus always on specifically male loneliness, when women's loneliness is Just as strong right now? Obviously gender will impact the way people react to global isolation, but this you gotta wonder why the focus is ALWAYS on men here
