Yearning for another fandom historical event that makes me feel the way I felt when they confirmed Tracer was a lesbian. Please...it was so triumphant

#parker says things #look I know P5T had bi Joker BUT I NEED HIM KISSING SOMEONE LIKE TRACER DID #I know he's fruity we all know it but in a fandom so predominantly dudebro despite the creators being pretty split demographic wise #nothing would bring me greater joy than him smooching a boy even if it's not my ship #do y'all remember Tracer kissing Emily #i was barely even in OW fandom at that point in time and yet I remember the exact day it happened #'she's ours now' #I think it's calmed down since then or maybe the reaction to Pharah was more chill bc we kinda...could tell with her #BUT STILL #pls I need every company to make the faces of their franchises LGBT+ #Sega unintentionally makes Sonic feel gay since he's not allowed to express long term romantic interest in female characters #where's the Shadow and Sonic makeout scene Sega #Let's have Aerith and Tifa kiss too I've been wanting that for 20 years #throwback to nearly every bi option in FE3H being from Adrestria #why did they do that #I think casual confirmation of queerness is as important as slow burn queer romances and I just am nostalgic for the euphoria of lesbian Tr #*Tracer #OKAY THAT'S ALL wow I'm ranting #can you tell it's the home of phobic family dinner holiday today

dude the misogyny in pl is so bad. like just off the top of my head there's like twice the amount of plot-relavent women/girls who are dead (sophia, claire (x2), melina, rachel, aurora, des's wife, des's daughter) to the plot-relavent men who are dead (augustus, duke herzen, evan barde) like. they really took the girls behind the shed and put them down to further the men's characters 😭😭😭

it really fucking sucks like. fandom is Not Immune to Misogyny either but at least the people I've encountered over here believe the female characters deserved better (at least Flora if no one else)

(spoilers for: plvpw, lmj, lbmr, azran legacy, and miracle mask under the cut)

and there are a lot of different types of misogyny in the games too -- it isn't just the amount of female characters that are fridged (though I will say: Newton Belduke gets added to the count of male characters, and while both Mrs. Belduke and Mrs. Cantabella are dead, neither of them really fit the bill for fridging, since they're barely relevant beyond "this is how Eve and Espella exist", which is a Different misogynist trope but not fridging...) it's also:

the mishandling of Flora in DB and UF, who was shafted out of a character arc

characters like Espella and Aurora, which while prominent don't have much going for them in terms of characterization since they're more "mystery" than "character" -- you can read my essay about that here

and the fact that characters like them exist shows that PL knows they had issues with female characters and rather than actually Fixing The Problem they were like "oh! we'll just give female characters more screen time! this will fix everything!"

there's these two NPCs in Diabolical Box you interact with on the Molentary Express. they're named Steve and Mitzi. they're husband and wife. Steve has about double the amount of lines as Mitzi, despite the fact that you interact with both simultaneously. this was the example that made me want to graph the amount of lines female characters have versus the amount male characters had

why was Katrielle's game almost marketed as "Lady Layton" I know it's to give her a fancy title like Professor but like. Changing it to Layton's Mystery Journey was the right move imo, Lady Layton sounds like it's "puzzles: girl edition"

Diane Makepeace should have been the final villain of Mystery Room actually. She should have gotten to take in how completely wrong she was about Alfendi and watched her conceptions of the case crumble. It doesn't even necessarily have to be a redemption arc. She doesn't have to express remorse about killing those at least five other people. (And yes I acknowledge the racist tones of the whole "Mariana Etista" thing, these are not mutually exclusive)

this is localization specific but according to a couple friends of mine who are collaborating on a comparison between the EU-US-JP versions of Last Specter/Spectre's Call Emmy's character is very different in the US version, she speaks a lot more passively in the US version compared to the EU version which uh. Yikes

Katia's family history being mansplained by Layton since it's the "mystery" of DB

just like. they never acknowledge Hoogland's deal? like the women that were ""sacrificed to the dragonlord"" were running away from loveless marriages, sure, but why did those marriages exist to begin with? and now we (the protagonists) have taken away that escape route for women trapped in (probably) abusive relationships because the dragonlord was a lie and azran tech was causing the wind. sure we might have fixed the natural disasters but we sure didn't fix the other problems!

(I think the crossover does slightly better here by not portraying becoming a Shade as an escape for women but as kind of an empty existence, but witch burnings are always gonna be a little :/)

the general lack of female antagonists. Darklaw and Diane go a good ways towards filling that but Diane dying is :/ and while I'm fine with Darklaw being not the "final boss" because she’s also an Ace Attorney Prosecutor they just don't like girlbosses. women can be evil too

Marina Triton deserved better than what she got she is actually kind of a BAMF (going undercover in a cult that kidnapped her for years, hello??) but the ONLY reason she couldn't rescue Luke and Layton earlier was because Katrielle needed to be there in a Doyalist sense, which makes Marina knowing how to get them out of the cryochambers even weirder because if she KNEW why couldn't she have freed them EARLIER

Angela and Flora (in DB) being replaced by a male villain for a lot of their screentime (Angela was replaced by Descole after the first present-day conversation, so in all subsequent present-day scenes she’s Not There. Despite Flora being replaced by Don Paolo fairly early on in DB she actually speaks the third-most lines out of the female characters in that game...and I took out all the DP lines for that count)

but yeah the fridging is a problem, even one that persists into LMJ -- a major part of Ernest/Miles's motivations are that his mother died 🙃

#professor layton #meta #answered ask #minecraftlesbianmode #ok let's cover my spoiler tag bases #pl spoilers #lmj spoilers #lbmr spoilers #azran legacy spoilers #plvpw spoilers #miracle mask spoilers #GOD i forgot to mention the whole 'everyone was in love with angela actually' thing #they do parallel randall and claire but they can't commit to it by having the characters be in love with him #because that would mean either canon queerness or more prominent female characters #*sigh* #BTW if you ever want to talk to me abt the let women be evil agenda i'm always down to talk about the pl female characters being antags

if i woman beamed pmd2 darkrai would yall be mad

#im basically kinda making a new character entirely tbh fjfjfjjfjfjfj #it would just be for my own interpretation of the character #also pls know when i ready the woman beam its bc im annoyed there are so many male characters and i wanna even that out #not bc i love the men but wanna act like i love mostly female characters #i do not like darkrai at alllll actually i just think if he was a woman id be slightly more interested #why are all the darkrai characters in the series interpreted as men anyways. why cant SHE terrorize the town with nightmares #why cant SHE tell me to kill myself #echoed voice

my desire to support a webcomic i like by reading the official translation vs my insatiable urge to blaze through all the chapters bc i desperately need more of it...

#i was feeling kinda sad so i ended up picking back up for better or for worse and i forgot how much i freaking love it #i don't usually like enemies to lovers but the way they do it is exactly the version of that trope that i love #which is where the dynamic is more lighthearted and catty than anything else #it's on tapas pls read it if you like villainess comics with proactive female leads #also dillon is a total babe she is very much my type #OH WAIT I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS COMPLETED ALREADY WHAT #i'm gonna look up the old scanlations bc i'm desperate but i'll come back to tapas whenever those drop off #mj.txt

reminder that i am the number 1 defender of female characters that people ignore or hate in fandom

#〔 OUT OF CHARACTER 〕 BACKSTAGE #this isn't a callout or a vague at anything more than just the GENERAL rp community so pls do not feel targeted or anything <3 #but female characters get done DIRTY in fandom in general and it's always sad to see the same happen in more niche communities #like when female characters r constantly only seen as an accessory to a man or that they get in the way of a mlm ship etc etc. #this account is a SAFE SPACE for female muses who people usually ignore or brush aside #or worse actively hate on #especially flawed female characters who get so much more hate than their equally or more flawed male counterparts #i support women's rights and their wrongs <3

#oh god. do not let me get back into bleach #i just rewatched fade to black. and its so crazy that ichigo and rukia dont end up together #and i really love all the characters a lot #idk maybe its just nostalgia bc its prob the anime i spent the most time being obsessed with in middle school and high school #but idk thr characters feel more like human beings to me than narut0 characters #who i also love but ya kno #it would be interesting to rewatch as an adult tho.... #idk if i would like it as much? and there r so many episodes id have to have a year of bleach after my year of narut0 lol #maybe. once im finished with shippuden and rage quit barut0. bc in my soul im not sure i can handle barut0 #but i said i wouldnt after bleach slighted my very first otp. the couple that got me into fanfics 😭 #criminal. i got so mad when bleach ended. and now here we r #i saw hanataro's face and was like oh shit. i should rewatch bleach #sigh... @ me do not do thst. pls. i dont kno if i can take it #im positive if i do rewatch i will rant abt wanting rukia to be allowed more mobility as a fighter bc i would get so mad when i was little #like let. rukia. kick. ass. #let her do things. she can do things. im sure the female characters r better treated than narut0 characters tho #and ichigo is such a sweetheart 😭 oh god. i need to stop #unrelated

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

*swings bat a hornets nest* ok but like what DID odalia know about the day of unity? when alador told her to stop helping the emperor he was really vague about it like “oh no odalia were going to hurt ppl” like alador honey king literally told you everyone was going to die maybe be more urgent with your warning. even if odalia wanted to be “royalty” theres no point in that if theres no one to rule over and extort money from so she couldn’t have supported the plan if she knew it was going to kill everyone.

she and her husband both also have a sigil. i dont think we ever see hers but it doesn’t make any sense for her not to have one. she’s a reputable business woman who flaunts her membership in the oracle coven and did cool oracle magic in her custody battle with her husband. the government wouldn’t have allowed such a public figure to not have a sigil. she was only in on belos’s plan since escaping expulsion so even if belos would make an exception for an ally to not get a sigil (which he wouldn’t he hates all witches) odalia still would have been pressured into getting one years ago when she was finishing her education.

she very pointedly looked at her sigil when alador was telling her about the spell. she couldn’t have gotten it off after she found out about the day of unity bc it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to do that. if there was belos wouldn’t have freaked out that much when luz sigiled him in king’s tide. and again. belos wouldn’t allow that because he wants her and all the other witches to die. (and no she wasn’t doing illusion magic in that scene in COTH thats just a summoning spell weve seen other sigiled characters do it)

(not to mention if she didn’t have her sigil, then the show would be drawing a parallel between her and eda for being practitioners of wild magic. it would be an interesting parallel to see luz’s mom embrace her wild magic and use it regularly while amity’s mom hides that part of herself to fit into polite society. while eda’s wild magic helped her encourage luz to rebel against the system odalia’s wild magic would have made her try to force amity into the emperor’s coven, where she could practice the same magic as her mom did but in a legal way. however obviously the show isn’t doing that so there’s no reason for odalia to get special treatment from belos to not have a sigil. even less reason for her to know the full truth of the day of unity, something that even the coven heads didn’t know.)

speaking of the coven heads it seems they were the only ones that knew the day of unity was a “draining spell.” and the coven heads seemed to think the drained magic would bring them to paradise somehow. was odalia told the same thing? did she think her magic would be drained but its okay bc belos would reward her? did she think she would somehow be exempt from the spell so she (and her family) would keep their magic? if she thought her family would lose their magic then is that why she signed amity up for the emperor coven tryouts after she started doing business with belos? because when everyones magic is gone the other covens would be useless except for the emperors?

is it just like. the lifetime of brainwashing she went through as a resident of the boiling isles making her unwilling to question belos too hard? i know shes supposed to represent one of those irl billionaires that bury their heads in the sand and profit off the world burning down. but theres a difference between knowing youre making money off of poor ppl in your factories dying of preventable workplace injuries and knowing that literally tomorrow you and every person in your society will die. even if odalia didnt care about her husband or her kids she would still be personally affected. and if she knew that she would be killed literally the next day then she wouldn’t care about the money. so like. what did belos tell her?

#toh #the owl house #odalia blight #shut up pandora #oh and bc shes a controversial character that i happen to find interesting #(i dont like her as a person i want to know more about her as a character there is a difference) #if you clown around in the notes you will face my wrath #can the owl house fandom please be normal about the female villains for a second pls #yall are thirsting over graye and crusty ass belos and have written lots of stuff about both these men being dramatic mfs #can we do that with characters like odalia without resorting to calling her a bitch #or flanderizing her to be completely unreasonable to push your alador/darius ship #shes a victim of not enough screentime and i will die on this hill

[eternalpassions]

Guys see one show which purposely makes vile female characters and decide that’s how the whole female species is. Like a fictional show isn’t supposed to be confirmation bias for your hatred of women

#my stuff #feminism #like go outside #talk to some real women #stop using tv as an excuse to hate women #stop using Hollywood to justify you hating women cuz they don’t look your way #like y’all see one female character written in purpose to look bad and make women. as #and decide that all women are whores and sociopaths #like pls #this is why some of these shows do more harm than good for society #especially a society with men as unhinged as this looking for an excuse to justify their hatred

Me starting fe engage rolling my eyes at animated sequences, hating the voice acting + the overdramatic sprite animations, being taken out of the battle I was enjoying to watch more animated sequences & being like "just Let Me Fight! The Fuck?????"

In other words my engage game is going swimmingly, it seems

#speculation nation #i have it set to hard mode bc ive learned i enjoy fire emblem games more on hard #since i like fire emblem for the tactics to start with. not much worth to having battles be way too easy #anyways im like barely started. dont rly like the summoning system. feels cheap + marth deserves to not have to deal with this crap #i chose the female protag bc ???? idk smth about the male protag pissed me off more #SORRY FOR BEING A HATER BTW hfkhsjf i feel so mean rn to ppl to like this game #listen i love fire emblem. and i think i will have plenty of fun with this game once i get used to it. #but i swear hearing those two kids yelling when she woke up (literally why do they have KIDS appointed to watch her???) #made me just Grimace. i really do not like their voices. #the protag's voice is... okay... i like it more when she sounds confident. the sniveling 'uhmm... and you are...?' just annoys me #the knight dude's voice is actually the most tolerable. im not a big fan of his design but it could be worse. #at least i dont end up wanting to rip out my ears when he talks. #pls tho i need more units so i dont have to listen to those fucking kids. where's the awoo guy. i think id prefer him over this

idk buying a car seems so stressful like can someone do it for me. the credit score the down payment the monthly payments for 72 MONTHS OR MORE the license registry the insurance omgggg. like can we get good public transit

#i saw a nice car but like idk how to drive and i don’t have acreit score and paying off a car for more than three years with a minimum #wage part time job seems like hell #lemme chill…. #i think i just looked it up bc knowing i’ll be able to buy a car would made me want to drive more #it was a bmw. pls wait for me lover. #it gets even scarier when u have to learn the parts of the car and how they work and that i’m perceived as female and the misogyny in car #shops PLEASE. PLEASE SOMEONE DO UT FOR ME JUST GUVE ME THE CAR 😭😭😭😭😭 #also if it’s mandatory to have a real id….why does it cost 30$…..

[perenlop]

also i definitely agree with the idea that amy’s kinda gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to characterization but like if u arent a shipper i dont get the complaint that shes worse now that shes not obsessed with sonic. how is that not something we’re all relieved by

#like. first of all obviously the age gap is uncomfortable and i dont like the ''oooo will he reciprocate'' #thing that they sometimes do. like itd be cool if it was just a kid crush #but besides that. even when i was little i was uncomfortable w the ''ha ha she stalks sonic'' thing as a joke #bc sonic was obviously uncomfortable and like. i just do not care for those kinds of jokes #ntm the misogyny in having a female character's entire personality being that shes obsessed w a guy #and im not saying that was always her character btw she obviously wasnt always justthat #but there was a point where she was flanderized to the point that she was #and i dont care for that #and i definitely prefer this version where theyre clearly friends at the end of the day #im not really a fan of her being painted as The Responsible One tho either. im not getting much of that from frontiers #but thats like kinda what she is in the comics and such #and idk. feel like that couldve just been tails? i dont like that being restricted to one of the only female characters #ig rouge counters that but shes not as frequent as amy anyways. plus shes still painted as The Responsible One in team dark #idk. i do really like that we see more of her sensitivity and care towards nature in frontiers and prime #and her desire to see the best in everyone no matter where they came from like in adventure #more of that pls #echoed voice

[werewolfclaws]

it was so funny realizing i still tolerated she/her pronouns and then i was like OH GOD AM I REALLY TRANS!??! <- he is bigender

#crow.txt #dont. use she/her for me yet btw. ill be more receptive on T #its more so i have the control of how im perceived in my own brain when i use it for myself #however i cant tell other people's perception of me when using she/her #for example: do you see me as bigender or do you only see me for my 'female' pronouns and looks #i dont want the issue of 'use all pronouns for me pls' and idiots default to she/her cause its 'what i look like'
