My hot take is that most hot takes that men claim they have is just them soft launching the fact that they're republican. Cause wdym hot take feminism needs to dial down? Kill yourself. 2 reply
As the title insists…I just wanted to talk to someone about this but anatomical medical illustrations. Bonus points if it’s on the older side. I will attach an example.
You’re free to share whatever yours is. But for the love of Christ don’t put Nick Wilde or Venom, like that’s objectively sexy.
Have you ever read a BL pertaining high school students— especially in Korea and realized how much more enjoyable it is by like a huge margin. Does it have its rich boy, poor boy cliches with a delinquent and a nerd? Yes, but generally they’re more well written with complex characters and story arcs. Like I’ve never read a BL set in high school that I thought was just slopping it up for the reader. This categorically chooses to exclude to my dear horror btw, so. That shit was whack.
So, as far as I know and have interacted with, there’s been two stories that have done the revenge rape trope: cherry blossoms after winter (red guy, I believe) and Pearl Boy (incest brother, one of them idk). And I wanna sort of address it super briefly and the reactions I see to it.
First, fuck Pearl Boy, that weird ass mf doing that didn’t avenge his lover in any way or form but rather perpetuated the abuse that his lover had to face. FUCK YOU. Also cherry blossoms after winter, I just know the author added this as a sort of “aha! He got what was coming!” But I can’t prove it…AND using rape as a form of “punishment” is disgusting and cruel.
Second, the “they deserve it” reactions, no they don’t, no one deserves to be raped or abused. That’s disgusting and the reason we have laws is to determine the right punishment (assuming it does its job) and not cock and ball torture in towns square. Also, SOME people think that just because someone is a horrible person it “cancels” their victimhood and that’s just not true. People have, for so long, thought of victimhood as this state of weakness and subservient behavior but imperfect victims exist and you can be horrible to the T and still be a victim.
Personally, I LOVE my imperfect victims, they’re multi faceted and a better representation of real victims. What other tropes are there like this one that you guys like?
I’m sure by now you’ve seen a circulation of the people that climbed the Empire State Building for the “when the power of love conquers the love of power, the world will know peace.” And can I just say…that was just an extravagant, exhibitionist public proposal.
Easily one of my favorite movies but the nature of my critique is for the audience. First of all, as much as it pains me to, women, I don’t believe there’s anything desirable about Nikki’s behavior after Bear makes his wish BECAUSE ITS NOT FUCKING NIKKI YOU DOULT, DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE SHE PISSED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE HAD NO BODILY AUTONOMY??? Second of all, men, NIKKI IS NOT YOUR FUCKING CRAZY LATINA GIRLFRIEND NOR SHOULD YOU WANT THAT (if you were a self respecting person). The point is that, you shouldn’t wish to be either Bear or Nikki because bear gets trapped in a hell of his own making and Nikki loses all autonomy and is left to deal with the hell left for her by Bear.
Okay, rant over, if you guys watched what did you think? :)
