Now that plague doctors are cultural icons I want these to be next and I hope we arbitrarily decide that the two are somehow rivals.

why would they be rivals, they're dating and bop their masks together to kiss

The birds and the bees

They’re dating  ❤️

Losing it over this

@ people in the notes are saying he should have googled Prince Phillip before he got on stage ... no, you don't understand ... Prince Phillip was announced dead during his set.

Which also means that for a lot of the audience they had just heard this news for the first time and their first reaction was to cheer lol.

you people will just. say anything

okay but do you understand that liz wallace made the bechdel-WALLACE test because she was a dyke who wanted to go to movies and pretend the characters were dykes and her friend alison bechdel happened to put her silly little litmus assessment into a comic strip and then the rest of everyone else decided it was a bona fide way of means testing media for Feminist Content? do you know that? it doesn’t sound like you know that

some of you are the dumbest motherfuckers alive

i am going to explain the bechdel test for people such as those in the tags

here is the original comic strip:

what the bechdel-wallace test is not:

  • an academic analysis of media
  • a bar that determines whether or not a movie is “bad” or “good” (by which i mean if a movie doesn’t pass the bechdel-wallace test that doesn’t make it bad, and if a movie passes the test the movie is not automatically good)
  • supposed to be taken seriously

what the bechdel-wallace test is:

  • a personal litmus test created by a lesbian who was, presumably, frustrated with the fact that women could not exist in the movie without a relationship to a man

it is not a way to “police what women speak about” because it does not apply to real people. it applies to fictional characters. also, the bechdel-wallace test does not stipulate that there can be no conversation about a male love interest. the women just have to talk about something other than a male love interest.

the reason the male love interest stipulation is there is because like… this test was created by a butch lesbian woman to determine whether or not she wanted to watch a movie. removing that part of the test violates the spirit of the test. it’s silly because it’s not supposed to be serious.

tl;dr stop misinterpreting the bechdel-wallace test you losers. op is right. goodbye
