corvidualityHate-browsing through people having such violently angry reactions to the "dorky anime bf" meme (made by a 14 year old girl, by-the-by), paired with the 4319835703941578 mud-slinging jokes I've read about teenagers on tumblr idealizing and fawning over some thin, emo-banged animated male character, and then turning around and teasing teenagers for wanting to fuck more monstorous-looking characters...
...Combined with the dozens of jokes I used to hear back in ye old fandom days about silly little girls always fawning over bad-boy type characters because women always like a "project"...
...And how much it always feels like "second verse same as the first" concerning people's attitude about teenage gals, or women in general being attracted to male characters the same way males are to female ones...
Well...basically says to me that nothing ever fucking changes, and there are dozens of people who will never admit how irrationally fucking pissed-off/disgusted just by the mere thought of a girl being attracted to a character [sarcasm] and just can't seem to figure out why! [/sarcasm]
(Something likely not worth anyone hearing but still worth mentioning just to get it off my chest is how this reaction almost never occurs when it comes to girls being attracted to female characters, brings up a lot of thoughts in my head regarding people's idealization of grl/grl lub~, and how it's inherently purer and toooootally less likely to involve any kind of conflict or abuse than any love involving a male, and certain folks' demonization of males and how, no, misandry is not on the same social level as misogyny but it is still fucking annoying jesus christ, and I just want to up and say "I think there are some people out there that are disgusted at the idea of a woman even being attracted to a man", but that train of thought might have been sparked just by all the biphobia I also stumbled upon today, and...I don't know I am tired and stupid and writing this off-the-cuff and probably genuinely borderline Triggered(tm) over nothing, and god I think about this kind of shit so hard, so much, that trying to get all these feelings down on e-paper for the first time in such a small amount of words is...far too much.)
Anyway, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
I shall epilogue by saying that if I see one more fucking Tweet about how, "all men are the same" (rapists) in this current fucking year (doesn't matter what year you're reading this in, if it is a year that is occurring or has occurred on this earth my feelings are guaranteed to be the same) than I am going to take a knife to my brain-meat.
