I’m like can barely keep my eyes open tired and I have an MSc meet in 30mins. I have regrets and all of them involve my unwitting obsession with doing stupid qualifications I do not want.
jk rowling may not have caused transmisogyny in the uk, but by being a high-profile figure who actively supports transmisogyny and funnels money into transmisogynistic groups she is a huge influence in keeping it both alive and, more dangerously, seen as a legitimate viewpoint and ‘acceptable’ in the eyes of the media. it is dangerous to ignore this and to ignore her significant influence
JK Rowling isn’t just a celebrity on Twitter sprouting her harmful nonsense into the void. She is actively involved in lobbying the government, and is part of the reason puberty blockers are now illegal in the UK.
I was on the phone to my mum while my dad was at my house and she wanted pics of my kitchen since I’d painted it and I told her she could always come over and see it herself. Her response? Yes but you’re working a lot. I was just like yeah but Dad works too and he manages to make time for me like me and dad both work and still see each other and my mum literally doesn’t work (I mean dad does all the housework/cleaning and most other jobs around the house my mum cooks most of the week but that’s it).
It still fucking pisses me off that if she wants to see me I have to go to her. And if I’m having a bad mental health day? I need to go to her. If she’s having a bad mental health day? I need to go to her.
The fucking excuses are wild. You work too much. It’s your house I don’t want to bother you.
But if I can’t go to her because I have like a ton of laundry to get done that I didn’t get dome during the week I’m the fucking bad guy. I’m so frustrated about it. This is not going to change though I’m well aware of this. We’re three years down the line now and I think my mum has visited me less than ten times.
I went through my training needs analysis today with my boss and she must have said like three times to me that these are skills you already have we’re just moving to the next level like I’m glad we’re all on the same page here that I need constant reassurance that I can do this job.
jesus fucking christ look at all these fragile pieces of shit who can’t watch a movie with women and poc in them I'm💀💀💀
everyone who’s commenting “haha wouldn’t that leave like 5 minutes of the movie then😂😂” is missing the point SO hard
no, it wouldn’t. cutting all the female characters, poc and gay “rep” is actually….pretty easy. this guy did it and it’s still a solid movie.
you guys are giving marvel WAY too much credit. They don’t give a shit about representation, they don’t give a shit about you - the only thing they care about is money and looking Woke™
they did that by advertising how “progressive” they are for adding the first openly gay character ever!! let’s see when we can get an openly gay main character. or at least, dare I suggest, one that has a name.
they did that by hyping carol the fuck up and then only using her for 3 scenes
they did that by putting all the female characters in one shot for a Girl Power UwU scene; “oh look at us! we have all these female characters in one shot! we don’t hate women” isn’t that sad? that you can fit all your girls into one single shot? that despite your claims, all the girls combined still only have 116 minutes of screentime while the men have almost 400? isn’t that fucking pathetic?
it is. and look at this douche, look at all the assholes out there, this doesn’t mean SHIT to them, they take half an hour out of their day and cut a few scenes and boom - everything marvel claims is “progressive” is gone. none of their fake wokeness is important to the plot.
the gay character? who even is he?
T'challa and his family? their ~ 1 minute of screentime is easily cut
Sam becoming Cap? Where will we see that? In the show? Right. This person cut the scene and did that change the plot of endgame? the answer is no.
Carol? not much to cut since she was barely there
Natasha? The only thing she was good for is to die
Pepper? housewife. All he needed to do was cut the scenes where Tony washes the dishes and talks to Pepper, and cut Rescue’s, what, 20 seconds of screentime? and boom. ideal female, right?
Valkyrie? Oh she’s there alright, in the background, doing jack shit until Thor calls her queen in one scene, but does that scene mean anything? Do any of her scenes mean anything? Not to them. 10 seconds is all it takes and her scenes are all gone.
Nebula? kidnapped. dead
Gamora? insignificant. cut
you can’t mock this dude because “haha he has no movie left now 😂”. you gotta mock, no, hate marvel because that’s just the thing - he does. not a single poc or woman or lgbt person did anything that, if they left it out, the movie would make no sense.
and that’s just what he did. and yes, he’s pathetic for it, but don’t think marvel gives a single fuck about you. they don’t.
Aaaand someone said it … every single time a dude can make such a cut and the movie still makes sense, the movie has failed.
New rule: If you can cut all minority characters and women without losing plot coherency it is a failure. We can call it the Rian-Russo effect.
Reblogging again for the Rian-Russo effect!
To be fair all the POC and female lead bits felt so fake and forced. It was clearly just paying lipservice to those of us who want to see better representation. Like when they make a big deal of the random background character who happens to be gay. Like literally every gay person I know doesn’t make a big deal of saying ‘Jessica - my gay wife’ or some shit everytime they mention their partner. idk im as fed up as everybody else with fake representation.
