Eleanor is the ultimate controversial white woman character.

She has a sex scene with a beautiful prostitute in first episode. They almost run away together. She tries so so so hard at making it in a man's world and meets resistance at every turn.

She thinks she's quite revolutionary, she thinks she's saving Nassau, she thinks she's showing all those fucking men that a woman can do it, she thinks she's so counter-culture by trusting a slave as her mentor, she thinks she's doing it for love of a place and love of people.

But. She's doing it for daddy issues, to be the business-owning son her father never had. She's doing it to please her own ego. She's doing it whole throwing friends and former lovers under the bus. She's doing all this WHILE OWNING SLAVES. She eventually tries to fold into the nice wife shape and it creaks and aches at her. She is an ally to other marginalized groups until it forces her to be truly uncomfortable or give ground.

People hate her because she's a gaslight gatekeep girlboss (and they're right). They love her because she feels so real, because she can never see and define her own shape, not really (and they're also right).

She's caught in a cage of white patriarchal making, and she sees it and she doesn't

#please please i gotta see her in the controversial-blorbo tournament #eleanor guthrie #black sails #i know all of this has been said before but she's truly the White Woman Character of All Time #I'm obsessed with her the writers did so good

longtime dc fan and i think a lot of people are angry because alex is obviously one of the most culturally relevant instances of misogyny in media. that being said being more culturally relevant doesn’t mean it’s the worst instance of misogyny and i think bumble definitely experiences more profound misogyny in the way the actual content is presented, if that makes sense

I get you, and that's a charitable way of looking at it.

I think what's rustling my jimmies is that like, there was a couple of WC fans being mildly dismissive of Alex in that note minefield, after dozens of comments of "fuck you how could you let the fridge woman lose" and "Bumble didn't deserve to win ANY rounds" and "how could A CAT experience misogyny." But then WE get blamed for the toxicity because THEY were butthurt that the Funny Cat People have the 'audacity' to win something they feel entitled to.

Like, we've gotta be endlessly charitable as we get openly insulted because they're upset about Alex losing, a very well-known and culturally relevant character with a legacy so massive we have a whole term named after her. But condemnations of "She's just a cat, letting WC into this poll was a mistake, Bumble can't even be a victim of misogyny" only started coming around once I started talking about it.

as if it's OUR fault people got passive-aggressive or even OPENLY aggressive towards us, and that we're "just as bad" for retaliating

But like you said, it's not a "Most Culturally Relevant Misogyny" tournament, it's a "Canon Misogyny Victims" tournament. And you're not even supposed to give a shit that Bumble died. The fat, woman abuse victim is beaten to death by a dictator, and your takeaway is meant to be, "It's so sad that Clear Sky is being blamed for murdering her, now they're all preparing for self-defense against a homicidal maniac, oh nooo :("

And I think that DOES make her deserve the win here! Alex is a MARTYR. Everyone with a brain agrees what happens to her is bad. It happened in her canon because it was bad. We talk about her and keep her memory alive. Bumble gets dismissed entirely out of hand because she's "just a cat in a kid's book" as if that doesn't make it worse, and as if the kid's book didn't treat a domestic abuse survivor like a moron for even asking for help.

Anyway, just to reiterate, I love DC fans. It's not all of you guys. Alex was done dirty and deserves justice-- and it's even kind of a shame that all she became is "The Fridge Woman." I haven't even heard people talk about how she was a wary, responsible person who was still ready to rock with Kyle's new weird glowstick powers, or that she was a journalist, or that she just got brought back in another edition as a Green Lantern only to be revealed as an illusion and re-absorbed back into Kyle's mind. Nope. Even her fans just remember her as The Fridge Woman.

#She wasn't even ONLY brought back as a green lantern btw she also came back as....#full disclosure I'm not a DC fan this is from My Best Friend + Wiki Education #...as a cool ass evil zombie black lantern #Only for Kyle to have to put her down like Old Yeller #Because he can't handle her Zomgirl Swag #How cunty of me would it be actually if. IF. Bumble sweeps the whole tournament and I go back and write whole essays for--#how each one of her opponents were worthy adversaries and explain exactly how deep the misogyny of canon went against them #Bones ''King of Women Appreciation'' Fall #Especially Chichi actually. If it had been Alex vs Chichi I would have gone to bat for Chichi.#Chichi was done dirtier than Alex. And also I would go PRETTY hard for my girl Android 18 #And ACTUALLY? One of the WORST victims of DB's misogyny? Don't @ me? Gine. Goku's mom #Behold my race of evil monkey space soldiers and how their violent nature has been exploited by a galactic capitalist dictator #Look at how in-depth I go to suggest them overcoming their battle-centric nature and show how in a different context this can be--#--applied for heroic ends #Watch the death of my main character's father and show how his last thought was comforted only by visions of how his son would one day--#overcome the dictator and avenge his death #Only for that to have been subverted because Goku didn't actually give a shit about revenge. Frieza simply threatened his friends.#NEVERMIND!! HIS MOM COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BLOODTHIRSTY BECAUSE SHE'S WOMAN #HOW CAN YOU FEEL BAD FOR THE DEATH OF A WOMAN. A WHOLE PLANET. IF HER HUSBAND DOESN'T LOVE HER AND SHE ISN'T A PERFECT LOVING MOTHER #SHUT UP SHUT UP. GINE KILL THIS MAN #10000 GUNS IN GINE'S HANDS #ouuugh and her husband saved her sooo many times on their expeditions because she sucks and thats why they fell in love :) PERISH. DIE #BAD TORIYAMA. BAD.#JAIL FOR TORIYAMA 10000 YEARS #And Saiyans apparently didn't even really develop romantic bonds between mates but nuuuuh #Gotta have these two be a perfect husbandwife pair with their little nuclear family #Anyway. Aromantic Vegeta with Bulma as QPR partner and coparent be upon ye #stop teasing me by retconning romantic feelings into ur aromantic alien species to ship them im a shaking chihuahua.#also ur all lucky we're not going to be facing Sakura in the next round guys #Sakura is my fucking white whale

Submitted explanations:

Marina

firstly and obviously, she's black. secondly, shes awesome and shes super cute and adorable and shes a great singer and shes super smart!!! she was one of the most brilliant weapons engineers during her time in the octarian army and she also produces all of her songs. she also hacks into kamabo co. and helps agent 8 escape the deep sea metro and she also made the bombs you use to destroy the nils statue. so basically shes pretty fucking cool. shes a dj and shes also in lesbians with her girlfriend pearl and theyre on honeymoon rn touring all over the world. in conclusion i like her so much. her va Alice Peralta is japanese-guamanian and she is so fucking awesome dude i just wanted to include that part because i love alice. ok thats it 🫶 -@mango-fizz

Youngblood

Well he's canonically black for a start, and he's a black elf/fey which like. How many of those do you see in fantasy amiright? Hes also like the most character ever, which is not necessarily related to being black but yknow. Imagine a guy with *so much* guilt over past actions, a guy who has almost no close relationships with anyone and was forced to cut off the ones he did have due to Circumstances, he's been alone for so long but he doesn't actually want to be no matter what he says, he has more magical power than he knows what to do with. He's like the serious/ruthless character except that's not actually who he is he's just on the run and has suffered so much, he's really a goof with a heart of gold. He met a himbo who could misplace his own feet and immediately bonded with him. He has a sick ass sword which can turn into this whip-like thing. I'm obsessed with him do you understand me. - @pulchrasilva
