The quality jump into Wano is incredible, look at the details in that grumpy boy

is it time for frank cho and milo manara to die or what

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot.

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks: 

Also: 

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

You can see her butthole for chrissakes

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Image

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

The legendary post

This applies to anime too. I always tell to my brother that we dont want big, muscled men with angry faces. Most girls go for Sesshoumaru, Koga, Tuxedo Mask, guys Who look lean, misterious, special… The only manly, angry man In anime I have ever liked is Vegeta, and because he is a good husband and a good dad.

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.

To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.

and that’s why there’s so much resistance to implementing it - capitalism wants workers who don’t have a choice

CAPITALISM WANTS WORKERS WHO DON’T HAVE A CHOICE

New York Times workers are striking tomorrow for the first time in 44 years.

Tomorrow, December 8th 2022, stay off of the NYT website, don't listen to any of their podcasts, don't play Wordle, nothing

There was no miscommunication. Alicent just heard what she wanted to hear. Earlier that day Viserys dragged his corpse ass to the throne room to reaffirm Rhaenyra as his heir and Velaryon boys as future heirs of the Iron Throne and Dritmark respectively. Alicent just used his dead man mumbling as an opportunity to do what she wanted to do all along

Chris Pratt may be kicking Charles Martinet out of a role he held as long as it existed and would not be memorable without him, he may be a honophobe and he might be racist, but you have to hand it to him he also fucking sucks at voice acting

I think people easily forget that at the time when the Small Council was throwing insult after insult at Daemon and doing everything in their power to alienate him from his brother, there were only two adult dragon riders with grown dragons.

 One was Rhaenys, who at the time was already in conflict with Viserys, and the other was Daemon. 

 Viserys had bonded with the oldest dragon, Balerion, who died soon after and so the king was left defenseless. 

 Throwing Daemon out of the King’s Landing was like giving away your atomic weapons, while having very cold relations with another country which still had nuclear warhead.

 But tell me again what a good hand Otto was, how much he cared about the realm and that he absolutely was not warmongering.

God....that ending was so fucked up. I am once again asking El Aguila, Porcupine, Man Bull and Saracen to kill Josh.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE SAY THAT JEN'S ANGER AT THE END WASN'T JUSTIFIED! SHE SHOULD HAVE RIPPED THAT MAN IN HALF!!!

What’s most annoying about alicent is how she keeps blaming rhaenyra for her father’s actions. Rhaenyra was not the one who made you ‘comfort’ the king and forced you into that marriage. Your father did. Rhaenyra was not the one who made you paranoid, bitter and angry. Your father did. Rhaenyra never posed a threat to alicent’s children whatsoever. Otto manipulated her into thinking that she did and she ran with it and channelled all the anger and bitterness she felt about how her life had panned out onto rhaenyra. Rhaenyra told one lie, a lie that did not affect alicent’s life in any shape or form. Sacrifice? Duty? Nobody asked that of you except your father!
