I find it weird when I’m reading “Carmen Berzatto fanfics” and the reader is one of his employees. I feel like yall don’t watch the show properly because Carmen would never date one of his employees. Like Carmen would never date Sydney. He would not mix his work with pleasure. He knows enough that cooking is the one thing he loves & it’s his he would never mix the two.
Carmen would never be able to come to work while dating one of his employees. His anxiety and how his brain operates he could never do it. I know ppl can write what ever they want but yall don’t understand the character and that makes the writing so cringy to me. Carmen keeps things separated from cooking which is his passion. Finding love he would always keep it separated always.
Watch “The Bear” over and learn who Carmen Berzatto is. It’s 2 seasons don’t just make up what his character is. Y’all shippers of Sydney & Carmen is even worst. It’s annoying. Carmen would never cross that line & date an employee he is the boss thats something he would NEVER take advantage of.
Carmen is mentally insane sometimes but he would never abuse his power over an employee. Because in 2017 #MeToo movement was about “men taking advantage of their employees or someone under them in their companies” & that’s how Matt Lauer was fired. Or did ppl forget, so now it’s okay for Carmy to date employees now why because he is cute. I’m over these white women changing the rules when they feel like it.
It’s bugging me when I read these fanfics and the reader is this “chef working under Carmy & he is soo turned on from her cutting vegetables” 😂🤦🏾♀️ like come on Carmy been cooking since a child a woman cutting vegetables will not turn him on. Y’all white women are so weird to me.
I'm never going to get over the fact that a woman was successfully sued for defamation for stating she was a victim of sexual abuse without even naming the perpetrator.
It was such a clear display of systematic misogyny and how much men revelled in it showed to me that they are not going to let patriarchy go any time soon.
It's so interesting how Dracula (the book) is about people collecting the stories and accounts of events from several witnesses, bringing that info together to make a complete story, and then using that info to stop the creepy old man who is forcibly penetrating the bodies of young women (and men probably) and exchanging bodily fluids with them against their will.
It's about victims coming together to fight for each other and for those who didn't make it.
It's about fighting a rich and powerful man who was abusing his power to hurt others and who got away with hurting others for years.
A major plotline is characters thinking that they can't expose the truth because no one will believe them.
But when they share their stories, they end up being able to fight back.
Is this ringing any bells for the people of modern society?
Disclaimer: There's this podcast called Adapt or Perish and in their Dracula episode they bring up the similarities between Dracula and the "me too" movement. I don't remember it verbatim so I've worded this in my own way but I wanted to give them credit. Also they talk about how Hollywood twisted this story while also appreciating adaptations. Highly recommend.
It is true that women have always lived in a world created by men and governed by men's rules. But it is also true that men have always lived alongside women who have contested these rules. For much of human history their dissent has been private and unsystematic: flinching, struggling, leaving, quitting. More recently it has been public and organized. Those who insist that men aren't in a position to know better are in denial of what men have seen and heard. Men have chosen not to listen because it has suited them not to do so, because the norms of masculinity dictate that their pleasure takes priority, because all around them other men have been doing the same. The rules that have really changed, and are still changing, do not so much concern what is right or wrong in sex: women have been telling men the truth about that, one way or another, for a very long time. The rules that have really changed for men like Louis C.K., Charlie Rose, John Hockenberry, and many others like them is that they can no longer be confident that when they ignore the shouts and silences of the women they demean, no consequences will follow.

Her fans really out here worshiping the fact lana romantizes the book lolita.
Her and her fucking fans quotes the fucking rapist of the book like his sexualization and r-pe of a 12 year old little girl makes him a fucking love struck poet..
He was a rapist
Lolita is not a love story
Dolores Haze is 12 years old in the book..
Humbert is 36-37 years old
It's not some teen romance
It's a adult man repeatedly raping a child..
Her and her fans go " we're feminists! We care about victims!!"
But they romantize a fucking rapist...
Her writing a love song about lolita was fucked because IT'S NOT A LOVE STORY.
Dolores Haze was not some fem fatal teenager, young adult or an adult sleeping with boys her own age. She was 12 year old little girl repeatedly raped by a adult man...
It's not some romantic love story
It's a rape story where the rapist tries making mindless fools blame and shame the child that he rapes...
