can we just remember that joan calling irene a ‘bitch’ comes directly after irene dehumanizes joan, a woman of color, as a ‘mascot’?

and yet i’ve seen twice as many complaints about joan’s misogyny than i have about irene’s racism (and hell, not even going to cut corners, racialized misogyny since it’s dehumanizing a woman of color as an object for a white man)?

wish some of y’all would take racism as seriously as you do misogyny =|

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently. 

to think it took me 2 decades of my life to understand my feelings for Roger

that i want to and have always wanted to fuck him in the ass

^polly guo, artist, sometime poet

Roger is a total dreamboat.

(Gaston, really, though? Did that guy even watch Beauty and the Beast?)

But ask yourself: Why is there that knee-jerk rejection of any effort to “overthink” pop culture? Why would you ever be afraid that looking too hard at something will ruin it? If the government built a huge, mysterious device in the middle of your town and immediately surrounded it with a fence that said, “NOTHING TO SEE HERE!” I’m pretty damned sure you wouldn’t rest until you knew what the hell that was — the fact that they don’t want you to know means it can’t be good.

Well, when any idea in your brain defends itself with “Just relax! Don’t look too close!” you should immediately be just as suspicious. It usually means something ugly is hiding there.

- David Wong

This quote is in an article about superhero movies, but it applies to so many things.

I was messaging one of my friends on Facebook, and the conversation goes really slowly because neither one of us logs on that often, but we were complaining about how our younger brothers get away with a lot at home. Her last message said it “makes sense” to a degree but the boys still get spoiled more than they should.

sdlkjdrlkvjdf it doesn’t make sense  it shouldn’t happen? We’re just so damn used to it.

I’m seeing more people with “tigan” in their URL.

big-gadje-world:

I’m assuming that they’re Google translating words for “Gypsy” because the URL they wanted was taken.

If you are not Rromani or you’re not Rromani from certain parts Continental Europe, then don’t use that word.Don’t use ANY variation of that word.

IT’S WORSE THAN “GYPSY” YOU FUCK WITS.

MOST RROMANI WON’T FUCKING TOUCH THAT WORD WITH A 10 FOOT POLE, IT’S THAT OFFENSIVE.

IT LITERALLY MEANS SLAVE

why the fuck would someone think that Miss fucking Saigon is a love story
put aside the obvious IMPERIALISM, SEXUALIZATION OF ASIAN WOMEN, RAPE CULTURE OF THE US MILITARY AND ITS DEALINGS WITH WOMEN OF COLOR, RACISM, BELITTLING OF ASIANS BY WHITE PEOPLE, WHITE SUPREMACY, etc
IT’S JUST NOT A LOVE STORY
He leaves the woman for a white woman and wants to get his baby what the fuck is actually so romantic about that?
white people y’all NEED to start trying harder
