“People want to like Marvel films and they do.”
Fuck yourself, bigot.
Who sees this post and goes ‘You know what? This is a perfect time to expound upon the hypocrisy of gawker posters as it pertains to crime and sentencing.’
This is not a dude that got caught with some weed. This is an extremely violent hate crime interwoven with sexual violence against an extremely vulnerable group of…
Pay fucking attention to the crimes being discussed in either instance.
and JAXA has also received a few odd, new messages.
The thing about bullies is that when someone smaller and weaker gets the better of them, even if they still win the fight, they’ll never be the same again.
While I applaud you for taking control of your safety and doing what you feel you need protect yourself, it breaks my heart that you need to go to such lengths just to feel safe in the world. I don’t know what the answer is, but the thought that someone should have to walk around the world armed just so that they can…
Yeah, that philosophy doesn’t help much when you’re a trans woman (like me) — or a cis woman — who’s only a couple of inches over 5 feet. I have no illusions that carrying pepper spray or a knife, or all the martial arts training in the world, would do me much good at all. Even when I was living as a guy, I haven’t…
I k ow exactly how you feel. At any given point in time, I have a taser, a knife, and a half-gallon steel water bottle to decent myself with. I also have a lot of what I would call “tactical awareness”, although from what I've heard that's something most women have and I'm not sure that I'm any more alert than they…
There’s a pretty long history of transphobia amongst gay cis people, much in the same way there’s a long history of transphobia amongst certain feminists... that’s really all there is to it. We’re basically the eternal punching bag for other marginalized people to vent their own demons.
...gasp. Can it be? I’m no longer in the greys?
Are we at a point where we can say with certainty that the Bush Administration cost the U.S. more lives than 9/11 by putting a ban on Stem Cell research? Not to the quality of life advancements we could have achieved for people struggling with currently incurable issues. And let’s not forget how all the scientists in…
Speaking as a woman, I think you’re missing the point. This book series was written based off of the medieval era. That era was known to be extremely harsh to women. This series not only depicts the violence woman had to endure, but also the strength that women posses. I happen to think the series is more feminist…
And the strong men? Ned Stark was beheaded, Jaime lost his sword hand, Robert was killed by a boar/poisoned wine, Stannis was killed in battle, Theon lost his manhood and sense of self, I could go on... Strong, righteous people get hurt in this show, regardless of gender. The cunning survive.
Really? Showing anyone’s perspective other than the person being raped constitutes Sansa losing agency? I grasp the concept, as a feminist highly educated on these concepts, but I don’t think this instance of criticism makes sense. God forbid we show how a broken male character perceives rape. Like she’d have had…
It is ridiculous to say they GoT promote rape culture. It clearly showed how awful it is and I agree with showing Theon’s face. We already know how many terrible things both Sansa and Theon have gone through although Theon deserved it yet with everything he has been through, to finally see something (the rape) get to…
that’s also my impression of it. The game seems like it was designed to gain traction through Youtube Let’s Plays and it simply seems to have not panned out so the developer is throwing a tantrum.
I think you’re confusing the words “depict” and “promote.” If you think the way GoT has portrayed rape in any way encourages the act, you’re sorely mistaken.
I literally posted this yesterday on youtube, and it was kinda prescient:
“I worry Conor is losing perspective and will eventually go the way of Anderson Silva with his cockiness. He likes to talk about how he’s still the same person, and still works out at the same gym, and maintains his connection to his working…
Well I mean, you said it yourself: “by men who claim to be women”. Trans people do not simply claim to be another gender, we take on the gender and its roles.
