FFXIVWrite is an amazing event but it's also the month I am a sad cat staring out the window at all the kids having a great time at recess because i'm still being held hostage by incurable writer's block.

I know I made a post the other day about making fun of peoples names being rude and people need to shut the fuck up but I found out my sister is naming her kid Texas Pete and we're not even American, it is EMBARRASSING to name your kid after a state of a country you don't even live in and the Pete is taken from the idiot father who will NOT like when I ask her in front of him why the hell she chose to name her kid after him when ZERO of her children are named after HER and also you're gunna name your kid after the guy who couldn't even pull his cock out on time? THATS what you're going to saddle this kid with?
I wish she'd gotten an abortion 🙄🙄🙄🙄

yikes... you worshiping male characters regardless of what they do while criticizing jen walters for the few bad aspects of her show that can be attributed to the writers and not her... your blog says everything about why you make it a point to hate watch she-hulk every week and it's incredibly disappointing. i'm not some mcu fan who loves everything they put out, but man, it's tiring seeing people criticize media like she-hulk in bad faith waaaay more than mediocre white male media. oh well :/
This is... actually really funny because you don't always get anon hate that tells on itself so much.
I've been very clear and consistent about specifying that I don't dislike Jen Walters and in fact really like how she's portrayed by Tatiana Maslany. Her performance is the only really worthwhile thing the show has to offer, and it's why I find it so frustrating that they don't really do anything interesting with her. Every post I've made has been about the writing or specific narrative choices or the CGI or something to that effect.
As for me "worshipping male characters", whomst??? I'm not even really sure who this is about, as there's not a single male character I've posted about uncritically on here. Best guess is that this is about Matt Murdock, which like... I drag him constantly for being a shitty person and a crappy friend. I think his narrative arc is incredibly compelling and the Netflix series was really good, but I hope I don't need to explain to you that there's a difference between finding a character's narrative compelling and liking them as a person/co-signing their behavior, especially when you also criticize that behavior.
I think a lot of the criticism for she hulk has been bad faith dude bros whining because a woman was in a marvel thing, and that's dumb bullshit, but you can't lump all criticism in the same boat. My problem with she hulk, which is my problem with a lot of marvel's stories centered around women, is that they market them as though they're some groundbreaking feminist storytelling and then do very little to actually develop the story or characters well and coast on mediocrity that's only made passable by the talented women they cast. It's a huge disservice to the characters and to anyone who actually gives a shit about them. I'm not going to applaud them for crumbs, and if you're going to sell your work on it's "feminist storytelling" then you sure as shit better deliver more than a shallow girl power narrative. It's 2022.

one day i’ll have the balls to talk abt how it can be as a person of color in activism circles where there r other pocs but a lot of ppl that i have to have conversations with are white. and how the way that activism ppl speak can sometimes lead directly w that bc activism talk relies a lot on big picture speaking and not directly asserting an opinion on anything just emphasizing its validity. which is like. a problem when ur me and brown and im trying to talk to white ppl about something and all im hearing is “ur concerns are valid” “i wish u didnt hold this pain in ur heart” “we will be having conversations about this’ but then theres like. nothing abt the actual subject. like 0 validation. but it becomes easier to get an opinion when its another subject abt white people. IDK none of the people i interact w are racist or anything but sometimes im like hm. why do i need to be sending group DMs and messages in channels w like A HUNDRED PEOPLE just to get someone to listen 2 me say ‘this is performative this isn’t helpful this has racism intrinsically embedded into it and we have to address it’ and then i either get 0 response, everyone briefly nods and goes yeah! and then moves on, or i get well this is valid im sorry about the pain in ur heart etc. like. ok. sure. but that doesnt help.
