#we do be clowning for women

[chemicalarospec]

hot take but I feel like people overstate how much Charlie was "the Mom friend" in the Lethal Company video and tbh it's giving sexism.

#like 90% of the comments are just 'charlie the responsible one' jokes #genuinely unexpected behavior from the phandom #like yes she watched cams for half of it so she was in a more directing/responsible role but #in the first half dan was definitely the one who cared about the game objectives the most #and she was not realllllly 'looking after the boys' (flew away without them that time) #dnp #dan and phil games #I said this #the phandom is a jar of clowns #i think a lot of people are doing it as a trans-affirming thing and like. we don't need to go back to 'women must take care of men' for tha

Reading the spoilers of otome light novels always be like, "Wow, people really hate men."

#rambles #I KNOW I COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS A LOT OKAY LEAVE ME ALONE #I JUST........... #NUANCE #PEOPLE HATE NUANCE AND IT SUCKS #PEOPLE HATE COMPLEXITY #AND MOSTLY #people hate stereotypical tropey men that are specifically written that way for the trope #'i hate how possessive and dismissive he is of mc!!!' #it's the same level of idiocy as going to the circus and being mad at the clowns #if you want to read a story about the perfect politically correct male lead find some chronically online girl's book on tiktok #like look okay let me be honest here #when i go to isekai manhwa as my medium of entertainment choice i embody those middle aged women reading smutty novels abt guys named knut #i don't go in expecting quality okay i'm not an idiot #i go in expecting a specific fix to be filled #and if that specific fix is a possessive dismissive male lead then by the almighty god himself one must do as one must #now let me be clear like.... i am complaining about two things here #one: readers don't like nuanced complex men #two: readers do not like genre-specific stereotypical men #these two things are not the same okay #possessive stereotypical men are not nuanced or complex... BUT BY JOVE THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXIST #SHITTY STEREOTYPICAL MEN ARE JUST AS ENJOYABLE AS NUANCED AND COMPLEX MEN #it's so funny that people go into otome manhwa expecting q u a l i t y #this is the modern woman's equivalent of those trashy novels our grandmothers read #we are no better than them #i really just want to go into reading spoilers where everyone is on the same page of 'okay so we all just have terrible taste amiright' #tho tbh writing all of this i should be more forgiving of people that love crappy reader-inserts on this website #but lmao no i am not i have way better taste than they ever will whoops u//w//u

going absolutely fucking feral. fuck?

I’ve been getting a lot of TERF posts rec’ed to me through the #feminism tag lately. And they’re most often only tagged something like #feminism or #woman, so filters aren’t catching them. And it’s all just… anti-woman and anti-feminist take after take. Like. How have they hijacked the narrative and monopolized the meaning of feminism to be something so reactionary and reductive? They genuinely believe takes like, “women should be forced to abort children” are feminist. BFFR. They just hate other women having bodily autonomy.

I saw one just now where someone was like, “I was daydreaming about men just disappearing”— like being raptured— “and then realized that all women don’t know how to do male jobs and got angry” (and they did say ALL). They then went on to talk about how no women knows how to operate machinery because women have been prevented from EVOLVING to do the same things men do because men forced women to EVOLVE to serve them. Evolved. They were like, “all men could just… build a wood bridge but we women are kept from that knowledge. We have no teachers.”

Further fucking proof that these misogynistic asshats do not build community with black, brown, indigenous, poor, rural, or working class women. They live in a theoretical fantasy world daydreaming about men disappearing and “female separatism” rather than offering real fucking solutions. They live in a world where every last woman has the same lived experience as them. They assume all women are oppressed in the same way. They ignore intersectionality to purposefully minimize ableist, racist, classist, heterosexist, and cissexist structures so that everything is organizable into a simple and universal M > F dynamic. This way, in their chronically white movement, they, the white woman, is always oppressed and never responsible for the marginalization of others.

Oh. And the OP had the label “fascist” in her username. They’re self aware now, but at what cost?

Trans Exclusionary Radical Fascism, everyone:

The patriarchy is inevitable. Change is impossible. We are never escaping this hell hole.

Some other “gems” I saw, TW for racism, misogyny, ableism, and abuse:

The amount of Arabophobia, Islamophobia, racism, misogyny, and ableism I see in the #feminism tag every day is truly sickening. Like 1/4 of the posts anymore seem to be from white radfems sexualizing Arab, Asian, and Black women (while denigrating and singling out typically Arab, Asian, and Black personal-care and beauty practices) while another good 1/4 of the posts seem to be anti-queer. And then some 50% are porn bots with #sissy kinks. The tag has been trashed by bigots and bots, and I’m surprised that Staff hasn’t marked it mature content yet for the sheer level of porn bots using the tag. Oh, wait. I do know why. It’s because Staff employs JKR stans who would rather label #transfemme as mature content than combat the porn bots.

#misogyny #In their weird rapture fantasy #I would not get raptured despite being a man/man-adjacent (or maybe I would given they want us ‘troons’ to keel over too) #but. as a former farm girl. this rhetoric is personally insulting #do they think farm girls are all like the wealthy trad wives in TikTok? #‘I spent today baking bread and organizing flowers with my baby on my hip’ #and the oven behind her is— like— $80000 #I spent my childhood building platforms and decks and bridges #as well as operating combines and tractors and wielding a machete (the machete was fun) #‘No woman knows how to do these things’ 😔 #Most woman in my family did. But I also recognize that not every woman is a farmer #Like. Yeah. I’m sure that the OP of that post has no clue how to drive a combine #but she doesn’t need to know because there are already women out there harvesting this nation’s feed and food #and I’m not gonna clown her for not knowing. because— again— she’s never needed to know #but here she is complaining about women being helpless because of men and how we’re all just screwed and there’s no digging ourselves out #I saw a post talking about how defeatism is oft a feature of white mentalities and worldviews and I’ve been chewing on that #like. the idea fate is predestined and nothing can change. we are just beholden to our base ‘natures’ is VERY Catholic Natural Law of them #which tracks given the foundation of radfem ideology is Catholicism #also makes sense why they’re so keen to embrace the idea of women being ‘inherently’ one way (oft good and beautiful . etc…) #and men inherently the opposite way #see: screenshot about natural predators #or their support for rape as a biological strategy natural to men’s psyche rather than a way to reinforce & take power under the patriarchy #they’re constantly arguing that the patriarchy is natural and inescapable #cool. fantastic. so… you have no real solutions or answers?

#songs about me #tag meme #its the way i barely watch tv and i barely have shows that stick out to me enough for me to call 'top' or 'fave' #i cannot say this is a fair ordering im sure there are shows who might rate higher if i really sat and thought -- especially since this is a #mix #but these are shows that popped into my mind and my brain was like i HAVE to put #these are shows that either fed me what i already enjoyed or altered how i consumed stories #havent finished the glory tho #a couple of these - like inuyasha and angel - are formative shows #the only reason charmed the og isnt up here is bc i remain bitter how all the actresses - except for shannyn - turned out to be White Women #TM #also dont at me about the borgias. or do. i know #yall dont understand 'he's done nothing wrong/i could fix him/whatever is going on with him is funny/he's my sweet cheeze/he's my clown/what #a dick/what a baby girl' dynamics unless you understand me and chezza #thats how it is #yes he was a sister loving freak - and we fast forward those parts - but he also made the funniest faces when he killed and wasnt supposed t #o #love a good barely leashed very clever dog #what can i say

Hey did you know you can actually say "I'd like to see more WLW relationships in TV" without saying "I think the one MLM show everyone's excited about should be about WLW instead"

#nah fuck it i am putting this in the tag #our flag means death #i understand the sentiment but honestly the amount of comments I've seen where people have said they hope season 2 is about women INSTEAD- #not alongside #INSTEAD of giving us a continuation of the unresolved MLM and NBLM storylines #is quite frankly fucking disgraceful #i know you want your thing. i TRULY understand. but #saying you hope all the people invested in these masc romances don't get any more so you can have your time in the sun is just not it. #i truly cannot fathom seeing a WLW relationship on TV and thinking ''no actually. this should be For Me.'' #and i don't understand why people think it's acceptable to do that with MLM media #we! are! all! lgbt! #let's support each other's wins. okay? #just a note: if you come into my notes or inbox to clown i'll fuck your dad

No wonder all the other avatars clowned on jon the whole time. They spent like 50 years dealing with Gertrude “I’m the thing monsters see in their nightmares” Robinson. Years having the Archivist boogeyman in the closet and then this uptight twink comes in with zero knowledge and zero explosives? Like no wonder they gave our mans a hard time. It’s like going from Darth Vader out there stalking you to a wet cat in a sweatervest.

#imagine the one thing even monsters fear suddenly disappears and is replaced by a sock puppet #look the point is #they clowned on jon hard because they couldn’t do shit to gertrude #Gertrude was so terrifying out of all the horrible cursed ways she could’ve died she had to be killed like a normal person with a gun #because even the things that go bump in the night did not dare interfere with her #and when they did it did not end well for them #Gertrude is both #gaslight gatekeep girlboss #and #manipulate mansplain manslaughter #I’m obsessed with this old woman #Jonny sims said we need more diverse and realistic representation of women in media and he followed thru #actually TMA has a lot of old people that would kill me and I think that’s very neat #Gertrude is so funny she’s not even web-aligned in her solutions #she’s like #i see a problem I blow it up #Gertrude vs the fears is unstoppable force vs immovable object #i like to believe the real reason Elias chose jon is bc he went #‘who is the most pathetic wet cat looking person around here’ #saw jon and went #‘perfect no way the avatars can resist bullying him’ #TMA #TMA spoilers #idk what I tagged this w already #my mind is entirely on gertrude #gertrude robinson #spoilers #the magnus archives #kori stuffs

I'll be honest. Despite everything the scene where Bayo 1 and 2 show up does live rent free in my head.

#I can never decide whether the frills around her wrist and neck for the Bayo 2 outfit l #looks goody or iconic #someone said they make her look like a clown. Don't 100% disagree #'Women of our caliber don't need invitations darling' #the concept that they take place in two different universes is absurd and obviously not the intent #but we do see multiple timelines in Bayo 2. So.

[anyoldfandom]

I don't know what I clicked on but a terf showed up on my home page so friendly (not so friendly) reminder that if you are:

Against trans women being able to access women's spaces (bathrooms, shelters, etc.)

Against gender neutral language

Think transtrenders are a thing

Think any queer folk are dangerous on basis of them being queer (or indoctrinating your kids)

Then you are not welcome in my blog or my home. We are not friends. We are not fighting the same battles. We are cannot coexist because me and people like me cannot exist in any world where you are happy. There will be conflict because you hate me and what I am, and I will not bend to you.

#There's a chance it could just bc more terfs are rearing their ugly heads bc of roe v wade #As if they have not contributed. As if they are not biting their own tails. #You're all complaining about people using gender neutral language when you could be fighting for women #Full stop. Bc I could go on and say 'People' but you would throw a fit. #So I am reminding you purely about CIS WOMEN that you are hurting #Bc you're so up your own ass about trans people's existence that you are adding to the problem. #As if your trans sisters and nonbinary siblings haven't been with you every step of the way. #As if we don't have the same goals in mind #But no #Because people are using gender neutral language you're clowning on them. As if they're the enemy. #And what does this do? You're wasting your time and energy and pointing public ire at people actually trying to help #Yes. Sometimes the language isn't perfect. I'll be the first to admit but that doesn't excuse your actions. #How you're more eager to spread hate than to protect your fellow woman. #You are not a feminist. You are a transphobe parading around in feminist's clothing. #And to my trans and nonbinary siblings. I love you. #Stay safe out there. Keep actually fighting. It won't be easy but we can join hands with our cis sisters and brothers #And together we will make it through. #I love you all.

whitefem: it's important to listen to the voice of our Black and Brown sister uwu #intersectionality

Black & Brown women: meh, I don't really relate to the struggle of a rich blonde female celebrity 🥴

whitefem: HOW DARE YOU??!!! yOu nEeD t0 uNpaCk yOur IntErnaLizEd mIsOgYny!!! è_é

#remember when whitefem were screching about the karen meme and when they saw #Black women were clowning their dramaticness they started arguing we were #'male identified' just bc we didn't entertained their whitefem tears about a silly meme calling out racist/annoying female customers? #because i do :) #whitefem be whitefeming #papi watch

[official-queer]

hey, you

come closer

listen to me

*grips your collar in my sweaty palms*

holding individual men to higher standards than women, expecting them to be able to do more than what is normal 24/7... that is upholding the patriarchy my guys.

men can't read minds. we're not perfect. we're not even really that strong. we are really just other human beings.

i understand the anger and the frustration, but you can't take that and run with calling every verbal lashing over a *genuine* misunderstanding, every nasty comment on a man's appearance, every demand that a man should've known you and your specific situation better, every time you tell a man that he should just accept that he's evil and that there's nothing he can do but that he is also expected to do everything perfectly, feminism.

because it's not feminism. you're just being mean. which like, if you don't feel bad about that... whatever i guess, but be honest about what it is. and don't pretend like it's not directly enforcing the patriarchy... because it is 🙃

#another nuclear official queer hot take #that's guaranteed to get the hate mail flowing lmao #idc idc i used to be a 'misandrist' or whatever you'd wanna call this and i'm completely over it #it's a fucking sham y'all #the sooner y'all realize that men aren't the super strong super humans that *need* to take charge on everything #the sooner y'all realize we're literally just as capable as you and just as capable of making mistakes #the sooner we can get this show on the road and cut this dumb shit out !!! #also i feel like i should point out that i live in the south and... yeah. that definitely influences my thoughts on this #because there are a lot of women here who know that feminism is popular and call themselves feminists but #the only thing they think feminism is is a free pass to bully men #not even trying to be funny or bitter or whatever like i said i used to be one of these people #and i'm not gonna act like this is some huge world stopping event #but the fact that i even feel the need to downplay how messed up is #the fact that i feel the need to say that it's ok it's nbd if y'all do #babes that IS patriarchy!! i NEED y'all to understand that!!! #PATRIARCHY tells us men are strong enough for this that we shouldn't be effected #BUT WE ARE! WE'RE HUMAN! #idk. that's all. *puts on the clown nose and gets in the dunk tank*

cant believe saying something like “patriarchy hurts men too” is as controversial as it is considering it’s literally like, basic feminist theory to acknowledge the way gendered prescriptions for social behavior and presentation is harmful to people of all genders. but alas, some people are so attached to their idea of men as the Ultimate Oppressors that their feminism cannot progress past “men bad women good” rhetoric. this is what people mean when they say you’re drinking the radfem koolaid btw

#my posts #anyone reading in bad faith and trying to clown in the notes will be blocked btw. #and if you genuinely dont understand how men are harmed by patriarchy please spare a moment to consider the way society treats men who #do not perform masculinity in a perfectly stereotypical cishet way. #please consider how masculinity in black men is disproportionately demonized and leads to black men being treated as inherently violent #thus making them ‘acceptable’ targets to have violence done against them #there is no ‘oppressor gender’ and ‘victim gender’. anyone is capable of being either or both. #and i suppose as a disclaimer i’ll say NO i do not think men have it ‘just as bad as women’ when comes to being hurt by misogyny #obviously women are the primary targets and thus get the worse end of shit. but thats not really my point #i have no interest in arguments about ‘who has it worse’ bc i think they fail to achieve anything practical and often just lead to erasing #the struggles of the group deemed to have it ‘not as bad’ #we all know women are the primary targets of misogyny so it shouldn’t have to be spelled out #but some of yall think primary target = only target that matters = only women have a vested interest in dismantling patriarchy #which is just. not true

[grimmjow]

one of the artist i follow has been drawing a genderbend of that clown this month n they shouldve just let that artist make the ad instead

#other #g talks #would have looked a lot better. #do NOT ask why i follow clown women. #we all know why. #kill me about it.

[anarcho-skamunist]

That staff message really is just Tumblr taking the whole "lots of people are criticising the ceo but doing it from a 'haha that matt guy is a clown' angle while completely ignoring transmisogyny as an issue so things can go back to a shitty status quo" thing and turning it into their official strategy moving forward.

Like "yeah sorry looks like Matt fucked up a bit oops. We're gonna be so good from now on though! Don't mind that any time we accept that something is wrong we say 'this hurt the LGBT community' and then the one time the word 'trans feminine' was used it's to categorically deny that trans women have ever been targeted. Don't think about it too hard! 😊"

[iholli]

oh so youre both transmisogynists LMFAOOOOOOO mask off i guess! thanks for proving that your blog is not a safe space for us

You still haven't specified wtf this is even about and either post I'm assuming, I do not want you within 50 feet of me. Nobody is hiding anything here, I just haven't been asked. Go back to your TikTok cesspool and stop stalking my partner and I through Google lmao. get a life.

#i support actually trans women and i have two halves of a braincell to rub together which is more than i can say for you #show up in my inbox again and i will report you for harassment. goodbye. #ratkingresponds #clown shit on my blog #what even is this fucking dumbass TikTok buzzword 'transmisogynist' do you know how fucking stupid you sound #it's not enough to say transphobic we have to make it ✨ personal ✨ #just say you're fake trans and go 💀
