[kxowledge]

why did they make me agonise for an entire week?? why couldn't they have just said that I'd hear back around the first week of March instead???

#also apparently the way it works is that you get nominated & then they have another meeting where a different committee talks about money #and specifically how many positions they can fund #there's x spots that are “sure” and then a couple of additional ones potentially if there is enough funding #so they have a ranked list of nominees on the basis of which they assign the positions #apparently my rank is high enough that im in the safe/sure spots??? #but if you're so sure.... why the fuck did you not tell me earlier #i asked about the timeline! and they told me oh you'll hear later this week or by x at the latest AND THEN I DIDNT HEAR ANYTHING #if they hadnt said anything i would have just led my life in peace #i am happy but also i am upset #p

One thing I've been thinking a lot about amid the argument over the Barbie movie's lack of nominations is the aggressive level of hate it gets.

FYI, this is not about whether I think the Barbie movie deserved more nominations or not because it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter if it was a good movie or not. It doesn't matter that it was about feminism either. What matters — and what is at the core of all the hate — is that it's a movie for women. For girls.

Anything whose target audience is young women and teenage girls is inevitably slammed with hate.

It will be called overrated. It will be called basic. It will be shit on. The comments and reviews will be FULL of people saying how stupid or terrible it is, how they've always hated it, and how anyone who watches or listens or consumes it is too.

Again, it does not matter whether x product or y performer is overrated, or not talented, or a thousand other insults people (mostly men, but anyone seeking to set themselves, even subtly, apart from people who like popular, feminine things). What matters is the alarming level to which we've normalized the hate that gets thrown at young women — and especially at teenage girls — for daring to like something popular.

Since when has popular become a bad word? Products that are marketed towards women are hugely profitable, and yet critically shamed. Remember pumpkin spice lattes? I've never seen one girl fawn over them as much as I've seen 100 grownass men spew nonsense about how silly and childish and girly a flavor is. A flavor.

It doesn't matter what Taylor Swift's most adoring fans are like, even the ones who are over the top, because no one attacks men who get too enthusiastic about their favorite sports teams or fantasy football the way people attack her fans for being excited to see her in concerts. It's because her fanbase is predominantly young girls, and anything young women are into must be shamed.

The relative anonymity — or at least, the safety — of the internet has enabled people to be harsher than they might in real life, but bullying young women and girls for their interests is not a new phenomenon.

Romance has occupied the lowest rung of the genre ladder for arguably hundreds of years. Wholly romantic movies (meaning movies in which romance is the primary drama, rather than a subplot within another genre) must be *exemplary* to get critical praise. More male-centric genres like dramas or any movie seen as "intellectual" often only have to be *good* to get the same kind of attention. This is not a dig at Oppenheimer or any of the other movies nominated (nor am I saying Barbie is a romance). The point is that romance is held to a significantly higher critical standard because it is largely not for a male audience.

(As a side note, plenty of romance is genderless the way many other genres' audiences are, but as a society we've boxed it into a 'feminine' box and decided feminine=bad. I could write a whole essay as to why.)

I am absolutely not saying Barbie deserved or didn't deserve this or that, or that Taylor Swift should never be criticized, or that romance is a perfect genre. I am not saying these examples are the most important of their kind.

What I am saying is that anything that is both popular and centered around women is always, inevitably, and extremely harshly attacked by people who do not like it, and this has the potential to be incredibly damaging to teenage girls, especially in an age where social media use starts younger and younger.

What happened to, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Or, let people like what they like? You don't have to like something, but you don't always have to voice your hate for it either.

Almost/Could have been Companion: Nominations

It's nomination time: Who is the Best Almost Companion

Who would you like to have seen become a companion?

Rules:

Must have met the Doctor

I know Jago and Litefoot are popular but I am not including anyone from Talons as a matter of principle

Not someone you could already call a companion (some exceptions may be made on a case by case basis) (if they are TV characters who are companions only in the EU that will be allowed)

Not necessary, but ideally someone who would have said yes in the right circumstances

There's no other restrictions on the kinds of characters to include, just anyone you wanted to come on further adventures in the TARDIS

#the list is starting this long because i think this is the first suggested tournament i think i ever had #so the list has been going in the background for a while #also i know the next time poll isn't done yet #but its better for me to post round 1 over the weekend when i have more time #so yeah #almost companion: nominations #please let duggan do well #best one off character in doctor who

[chipthekeeper]

spending a lot of time in my ultimate sw character spreadsheet these days is making me want to do a poll tournament to determine the silliest star wars name. are we into that?

#and do you have nominations? #i already have a list but perhaps i'm overlooking some

[alonglistofbirds]

question since I havent done anything like this before - do people want a mention to say they nominated a bird? e.g. Bird Option 1, nominated by X.

may as well use this as an opportunity to test the poll mechanism

#(a sliighhht snag is that I deleted some of the asks after recording the nomination... silly thing to do in hindsight but the majority have #come from comments at least) #sorry if this is a dumb question I'm just worrying that I'm going to do this Wrong #25% poll #non-bird listing

[mctreeleth]

They have this annual award at my work that is some corporate bullshit about recognising the employee who has made a significant contribution to the company and it's usually won by someone who is moving into a management role after being there for like a decade BUT while the winner is decided by the bosses the nominations are made by people working there and even though I have only been there 18 months and am decidedly not managing anything at all I found out today that apparently I got a half dozen different nominations so while I am almost certainly not going to win the actual award I have to imagine this means they will instead crown me Miss Congeniality and give me a tiara for being the friendliest most specialest girl in the factory.

#I got told like a week ago that I was nominated but there's usually like 40 people on the list #a lot of the time people make pacts to nominate each other #I assume for like resume reasons or something #I was not particularly invested in it on account of the aforementioned winner history #but today I actually asked who it was that nominated me #and it was apparently people from all over #am I making a significant contribution to the company? #no I don't give a fuck about the company #but I give a fuck about making cool things and being nice to people and helping people make cool things #I think that that is a lot more important than coming up with strategies to save the company $10k a year #oh and when I get back from holidays I am going to start agitating for them to start paying us the right amount of long service leave #so they are really going to love that #whoops I guess I COST you $100k a year by talking to the lawyers at the union and proving that you're not giving us our benefits #whoopsie daisy!

[fandomshatepeopleofcolor]

thinking about it now, Charles Melton should've been nominated for best supporting actor instead of Ryan Gosling as Ken

This might be a hot take here on tumblr dot com buuuuuuuuut

I think Ryan’s nomination is actually deserved.

If we accept the premise of the Oscars, and accept the existence of the Barbie movie, Ryan as Ken could have come off as ridiculous and try-hard but it didn't. My one quibble is that he is too old to play Ken opposite Margot as Barbie (there is ten years difference between them, and there's only so much that makeup and moisturizer can do) but other than that, Ryan Gosling absolutely has the comedy chops and by my count he delivered an adequately charming performance.

This is an aside but something that's getting lost in the hashtag white feminism conversation is that it is narratively absurd that the film industry has rewarded the less important guy but not the literal lead girl from the feminism 101 movie. It feels intellectually dishonest to not acknowledge how on the nose this is. We can talk more about this on @fandomshatewomen if people wanna get into it.

Back to your message though, if we’re exploring hypotheticals, how about we look at the rest of the list of noms:

Mark Ruffalo for Poor Things

Robert Downey Jr for Oppenheimer

Ryan Gosling for Barbie

Robert De Niro for Killers of the Flower Moon

Sterling K Brown for American Fiction

If we are swapping out someone on this list, my personal choice would be Robert De Niro, backup option Robert Downey Jr.

Both of these men are already household names, and this was not either of their best work or tbh even like among their better work. Also, neither of them “needs” this nomination, it does nothing for their careers.

But for an actor like Charles Melton who is good at his job but very much at the beginning of his career, it could mean a meaningful increase to the money his agents can negotiate for him on subsequent projects. Like yes, numbers vary, but the “awards bump” is a thing, and proportionally speaking it would mean WAY more for his career than one of the Roberts.

#awards season #academy awards #oscars 2024 #charles melton #also just to like complete the list #mark ruffalo did a really good job in his role i thought the movie sucked but his role was compelling #sterling k brown also did fantastic he was captivating but like understated???? idk it was a really interesting experience #but yeah one of the Roberts really really really coulda sat out this round the academy is tiresome lmao #also just in case it needs saying ‘deserved’ does not mean ‘entitled to’ re ryan gosling… #all i mean by deserved is that if we accept the premise of the oscars as an award then imo he fulfilled the qualifications #and another thing deserved the nomination does not mean deserves to win #i wouldnt be surprised if he does (because capitalism) but in terms of The Art Of It All im personally rooting for ruffalo

so, I'm part of a book club where we read bad popular romance once a month, and we need more contemporary books (that aren't CoHo or Spanish Love Deception). if you know of any books that fit this description and are making rounds on tiktok, pls let me know~~

#eernatalk #if you follow me on insta you saw me asking this months ago and that list is PERF #but it's mostly fantasy smut and we're trying to diversify a bit #(that being said if you have any fantasy nominations pls let me know too)

I ended up getting Nicki, and she arrived today!

she’s super cute! I got pretty lucky and her eyelashes are placed pretty well. I LOVE her meet outfit - not only is it super cute, but the fabrics all feel really nice, and it comes with more pieces than I generally expect from modern ag. The shirt and dress are separate, and the flannel is a regular doll shirt with functional buttons (!!). Her shoes are nice, but I watched a review on YouTube where they said the material felt like one that would start disintegrating with age, like a lot of older ag shoes, and I concur. Her accessories are also super cute, but I really wish historicals still came with a coin 😭

I read her journal, and it’s pretty cute! However, I stand by both my assessment that ag is sidestepping harder hitting historical events due to them seeming too sensitive, which like. If the past is so recent you can’t comfortably write about the realities of it, wait a few years -_- It read more like a goty story to me: more focused on relationships and inner conflict.

On the other hand, I also stand by my opinion that the switch to journals is totally fine, if not good. Ag’s target demographic has gotten younger, and the reading level of the books that come with dolls should reflect that imo. Also, if the name “journal” is tripping you up, it’s actually just a graphic novel, not like. An actual journal without a story. It had a similar feel to me as something like diary of a wimpy kid. There was also a section where “nicki” explained how to make zines, which was really cute.

Content-wise, it was fun, though a bit tame compared to other historical books (nickis anxiety about y2k was a nice character moment, but it alone does not make y2k a incredibly major historical event lol). My only big complaint with the story itself was the fact that they got their pets for Hanukkah. Like. I thought we all knew giving kids pets as gifts is a bad thing???? Not a huge fan of that. On a lighter note, Nicki loves lists (as do I!) and I thought it was a really fun detail.

(Guys, I think she might possibly love lists.)

However, I do have another problem with the journals - it seems like the book that’s coming out will be the exact same story, based on the name 😭 on the last page, it said to look out for the book, called “Isabel and nicki: countdown to y2k” which is like. The plot of the journal I just read lol

#american girl #agblr #nicki hoffman #my posts #my dolls #also I’m nominating her for autistic rep #I don’t care that it wasn’t on purpose lol #the love of lists and her reaction to Isabel’s loud music… #I know it’s not a lot to go off of but I don’t care lol. #ALSO she had the grin pin organizer in her room and I want one (for both me and my dolls) SO bad #also #despite the styling of it the computer isn’t actually in their room in-universe. #which like. thank god bc that would incredibly anachronistic lol #my opinions

[mosthuggableffxiv]

While part of the blame lies in me not realizing when submissions were open and not putting his name in, I’m surprised that our buddy Eric Tony didn’t get in. This man NEEDS a hug, I could write an essay on not only why this man needs a hug, but how said hug would have a large positive impact on his life as opposed to other characters who, while definitely huggable, aren’t in the situation of needing a hug and thus there are less “hug dividends” as it were.

ngl, I'm kinda surprised no one nominated him. Bro really does need a hug.
