gfm:
i'll say it again but the lack of canonically queer male characters in avatar is not only frustrating, but also making me question the female one and its motivations too: do the creators see male queerness as less acceptable because "less hot" from a straight man's perspective?
sigh... you know katara is such a beloved character among girls especially because she actively fought back against misogyny among other things. pretending that never happened is a disservice to the character imo
“There are certain roles I think that Katara did in the cartoon that we didn’t necessarily also do here. I mean, I don’t want to really get into a lot of that, but some gender issues that didn’t quite translate from the cartoon.” - Albert Kim, producer of ATLA Live Action.
yeah sorry we fandomified your favorite female character. she's homophobic and abusive now. yeah her only purpose is to be an obstacle to this mlm ship. her fanfiction tag is full of fics where she's a mischaracterized secondary character and her depth is discarded. i'm sorry
UTENA TENJOU PUNCHES THE STONE GROUND SO HARD THAT HER FIST BREAKS, AND DRAGS HER BROKEN BODY TO THE HEART OF THE WORLD. SHE BLEEDS PURE LOVE, AND THE MECHANISM CANNOT BEAR IT
the late empress ludovika & theobald —
a reading of the portrayal of women's identities as roles in a stepmother's märchen:
' she was graceful and beautiful, and she was a dutiful empress. '
"does she have to hide even from me?" gets me bc there's so much to be said about how victims of abuse are made to prioritize other things over the truth, how a victim is devalued in favor of hiding abuse, and how faithfully that's portrayed in asm imo (1/?)
Jeremy: “Because we're family, I should know better... Shuri doesn't say anything to me. Does she have to hide even from me?”
SHURI IN JEREMY'S POV 😭 THIS IS HOW HER SUFFERING LOOKS IN HIS POV-
FR what is an ACTUAL good anime?? you all are obsessed with that shit but it all fucking SUCKS. don't say JJK that shit SUCKS, don't say mob psycho 100 because I have SEEN THAT ALREADY and it RULES.
UTENA TENJOU PUNCHING THE STONE GROUND SO HARD THAT HER FIST BREAKS??? AND DRAGGING HER BROKEN BODY TO THE HEART OF THE WORLD???? HER BLEEDING PURE LOVE, AND THE MECHANISM CANNOT BEING ABLE TO BEAR IT????????? DON'T EVEN JOKE ABT IT LAD
i don't know which fanfics people are pulling these takes from but aang going into the avatar state over finding out his people were wiped out, thinking katara was about to be pulled into a sinkhole and over appa being stolen sure isn't supposed to be categorized as a 'tantrum'
listen, nothing stopping u from asking for more mlm rep but this extra of "wlw are so much more represented it's kinda suspicious" just makes u look silly. doesn't help that anything goes on atlatwt as long as you're confidently dumb enough
me watching a fandom that already dislikes or ignores a chunk of its female characters begin to push an agenda where their favorite male characters are actually female coded or behave like women when nothing in the source material canonically alludes to that
his father was neglecting him for years, mother died when he was too little to properly remember her and nobody ever spoke of her, and his only mentor was a misogynist priest who needed him as a puppet but sure... it must have been those evil woman genes
So apparently Citrus is bad because it reads like it was made “by men for men,” despite being written by a woman (who is likely wlw)
Meanwhile, Revolutionary Girl Utena is revered as one of the best yuri works of all time, despite being written and directed by two men 🧐
zuko actually pmo so bad when he was mocking aang’s culture n was tb sum “air temple pre school” like ur ppl wiped all of his out sir tread lightly☠️☠️☠️☠️
Eminem responds to Gen Z’s criticism of his newer music in new song with Ez Mil 🤔
“Gen Z is actin’ like rap experts zip up your gaps and close your mouths / B*tch you ain’t been on this planet long enough to tell me how rap’s supposed to sound / Y’all need to stick to what you
mind u this conversation was abt katara and katara ONLY. y'all really can't stand hearing abt katara if it is not centered around whichever man she's with or y'all want her to be with lmao
any fandom that wants to convince you that romanticizing interactions between a grown man and an underage girl isn't creepy is not a safe space for anyone, least of all teenagers btw
i can't stand when ppl take a format primarily made so ppl can complain that female characters are treated unfairly in fandoms and use it to instead talk abt their favorite men who are already the main topic every fucking day sorry
The Hunger Games has some of the actual worst worldbuilding in fiction. What do you mean a district the size of one or more US states produces ONE resource and nothing else
i think it's interesting that both images of grown women we see in asm (the empress and alice) are in some way idealized. the empress is described with a set order of words and ppl generally don't talk abt her outside of that and the picture of alice is basically the
