The amount of casual ageism in fandoms is so gross.
“Oh you’re a young boy and you like barbie and my little pony? Good for you! It’s about time we break gender norms!”
“You’re an adult male and you like my little pony and barbie? Ew!!! You’re clearly a massive creep and a p*do just by existing! Go die in a hole!”
“You’re a young girl and like action figures DBZ? Good for you! Be a strong young lady!”
“You’re an adult woman and you like action figures and DBZ? Omg, you’re such a loser/fake fan! Get a life you poser! You’re clearly just a (insert transphobic slur)!”
“I’m allowed to criticize whatever I want! Nothing is free from criticism!”
“Pfft, come ooonnnn. You can’t criticize that movie too harshly. It’s for kids! Everyone knows kids don’t deserve quality entertainment like us grown adults!”
truth
and don’t even try to write NSFW if you’re over…what, 21? Suddenly you become a p*do again…
I see… so many writing advice posts on Tumblr that can single handedly kill a young/beginning writer’s style that it makes me want to scream sometimes.
Let yourself be messy in writing. If artists are allowed to get paint over everything, including themselves, you’re allowed to have choppy sentences where the rhythm is weird and where you, god forbid, used an adverb.
Be the literary equivalent of an elementary school art class and be wild, innovative, and try new things out. In the end you’ll have created something you had fun doing rather than trying to fit yourself into a set of rules set forth by “Who Knows What Their Credentials Are Besides That They’re A Creative Writing Major”.
Dudes really talk a lot about No Nut November considering how many of their girlfriends have been doing a No Orgasm for the Entire Damn Relationship
There are a lot of people in the notes scolding women, telling them to communicate better with their male partners.
But having had multiple relationships, in which the men never managed to help me orgasm, I have to point something out from personal experience.
They don’t listen. Like. A lot of the time, they flat-out DO NOT LISTEN. Or you tell them what feels good to you and they do it for…all of two minutes, before “forgetting” about it and then going back to doing what they like. Or they whine about how it feels weird or uncomfortable, even when it’s something as simple as “rub right here with your thumb” or “hold my leg up like this when you move”. Or they complain about how long it takes you to finish, and they literally fall asleep.
But of course, if you aren’t moaning and yowling like some kind of succubus getting the best dicking of your life, their feelings get hurt.
To an alarming number of men, sex is something women provide for them, as a type of entertainment. It’s not something they really see as being mutually enjoyable. That’s why for a lot of them, their women partner’s orgasm is less important than the woman going through the motions of pleasure, for HIS pleasure. So as a woman, if you don’t fake it, they whine about hurt feelings because you made them realize they aren’t actually sex gods. But if you fake it, they get upset because you’re “tricking” them.
I could keep going, but the moral of this story is that telling women that we “need to communicate better” is pointless–we communicate just fine, but in a lot of cases the men don’t want to hear it.
very fucking disheartening that im seeing so many fuckin people talk about how gas prices have risen so much and pay has been stagnant that they are now fucking losing more money fuckin driving for/to work and dont know how theyre going to survive and pay for rent and food and supporting their family because theyre now earning less than minimum wage because of inflation and then seeing wealthier liberals going “HAVE YOU CONSIDERED SAVING $70,000 FOR AN ELECTRIC CAR?” or “MAYBE YOU SHOULD CUT BACK ON THE VANILLA MOCHA DOUBLE ICED WHITE FRAPPUCHINOS ” and my favorite “HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT BUDGETING HARDER???” like god damn these bitches are really asking to dragged out of their houses and executed on the street
