these terms couldve been used to talk abt all kinds of misogyny and violence girls face growing up in a patriarchal world but no they use it to talk abt lipstick marks on straws and how stupid, soft, and useless women are without their fugly boyfriends
this show’s main audience has always been str8 women that use the female characters as self inserts and lose all sense over mediocre men so I knew the homophobia was gonna jump out. I don’t go here but my deepest sympathies for my queer sisters invested in this.
that video of imane dressed up as the ideal feminine woman is why I will NEVER take the “let women be feminine”, “reclaim femininity” and “let girls be girly girls” crowd seriously. just reeks of privilege and ends up harming gnc women like imane
queer community on here can be so fucking corny its super annoying. god forbid you try to have any serious conversation of very prominent and serious issues within the community (lesbophobia and misogyny especially) and here they come with their “we should all just kiss” tweets
cant get over this scene the way shiv’s voice legit sounds like a little girl’s and both kendall and roman trying to console her the same way you would a child
the writers kinda went off with having shiv switch on kendall when he puts his feet on the desk cuz it really is those little fucking things that your siblings do that drive you mad and make you feel levels of anger that you didn’t think was possible
ik this was about generational trauma but it also makes me think of that interview where jeremy said jesse described the show as the trauma of this insanely powerful family leaking out and poisoning the rest of the world with their actions
“why are you so obsessed with thinking some mega rich famous white woman is gay?” because there’s a reason why her work at waystar resonates with queer women in a specific way, & an oppositional reading of the way she-
succession was so good cuz they gave caroline all the traits of an emotionally unavailable deadbeat father while logan was the one terrorizing his kids 24/7 while clutching them to his chest and suffocating them
like hate to tell you but consumerism is not in fact an universal experience of girlhood but experiencing misogyny definitely is so maybe let’s try talking about that?
like sorry we’re not exactly dying to kiss women that call us predators. or hold hands with men that use their queerness as an extra shield for their misogyny.
fuckass bangs, redhead w daddy issues, severed brain, suicidal, biggest enemy is herself, can’t get herself to quit the job that makes her miserable, none may atone for her actions but her and only in her their stain shall live on. all she can be is sorry and that is all she is.
enough with the “the siblings are gonna leak the waiter story” theories when this is clearly roman protecting his beloved brother from the cops bollywood srk style
and what the fuck are you gonna do when I am in fact uncomfortable with a word that implies that i as a lesbian have the same privileges or even the same experiences as a straight person or even a gay man
how can you reclaim something that’s already enforced on you since your birth? how can you “let” someone present themselves in a certain when they’re already expected to present that way otherwise they’re punished and called “beastly” and “unnatural” ?
can’t fucking stomach him cuz she sees what he’s becoming or can’t fucking stomach him in a “if I can’t have it neither can you” sibling like petty way ?
I never said homophobic women are innocent my god what are you ppl talking about ? but in general women being more homophobic than men is just not true.
you don’t care abt false accusations or how it affects ones life nor do you care about victims of rape you just wanna create a way for ppl to discredit victims further in real life
to my great disappointment shiv is really not as much of an evil bitch as a lot of you make her out to be and I’ve never in my life wished more that she really was that evil
I often think about this horse and young shiv like did she have a tony soprano-esque relationship with it ? did she cry secretly when it died ? what was its name ? she always looks so lonely in the opening credits except for this one part
this has reached the “being a soft girly girl is empowering and if you say otherwise you’re the misogynist” crowd so I’m muting this. women aren’t oppressed cuz we’re feminine, we’re made to be feminine because we’re oppressed.
We had our people call his people and, well, he's here.

@ch3rryxx13
I specified *on here* and *tweets* idk how much clearer I could be that I’m specifically talking abt these conversations being shut down online + have you considered you can do both at once since online lesbophobia & misogyny does translate into the real world & vice versa.
i haven’t been on succtwt for long but the amount of times I’ve seen ppl bring up shiv talking a SA victim out of giving testimony vs tom destroying the evidence of those cases is definitely something
could be just me having watched few shows (let alone love it enough to read/watch interviews) but don’t think I’ve ever seen this many ppl working on a show be so adamant abt mentioning the subtextual romance between two girls like are we sure rhaenicent isn’t canon atp?
“Oh my god - now I see how beautiful their relationship is. It was this generous gesture Alicent was doing by bringing Rhaenyra to the Sept, because she needed to heal. I saw the love and the romance of these two girls, which makes it all the more tragic”
