yes critical analysis of media is super valuable but I think suspension of disbelief isn't practiced enough

"the beginning relied so much on fate/chance meetings/a bizarre set of circumstances that could have solved the conflict if avoided" babe that's an inciting incident

#I think people need to try keeping the mst3k 'its just a show I should really just relax' #mantra in mind but apply it to fiction in general tbh

(reposted to avoid backlash on the OP)

nobody's unlovable and loneliness isn't new, this just what happens when the first generation of men and boys allowed to say "I desire kindness" emerge at at same time as women and girls allowed to say "I don't owe men anything".

And they're both right, they're both correct- Masculine figures are allowed to ask to be treated gently and Feminine figures are allowed to decide who they share intimacy with.

The PROBLEM is men thinking "I deserve gentleness" is the same as "someone owes me intimacy".

Men need to start GIVING what they ask for.

If men were kinder and gentler, if we raised our boys with emotional literacy and taught them compassion and self-care and generosity, personal responsibility and concern for others, they wouldn't see WOMEN as a united monolith marching out to deny them their "right"- they'd have support networks and friendships of their own to rely on, not just a mom or a wife to dump all their needs onto.

Men being lonely isn't new. They're just allowed to talk about it now. And, coincidentally, the socially-conditioned second-class-citizen support role is rapidly vanishing.

We've yet to stabilize: its that instability that has people chewing at the rope.

It's a rough transition, but that's all it is. A step to something better.

Bi women are not rehab centres for lesbians who are struggling with the patriarchy

Girl in Red just did an interview where she delved into a song she wrote about feeling gender and sexuality insecurity in her relationship with a bi woman.

The central idea is that it took (and continues to take) multiple deeply emotional conversations with her partner to begin to work through her insecurity that her partner will eventually prefer men, leave her for a man, and the fact she will never be a man. (and no, she's not struggling with gender issues or dysphoria personally, this is solely in reaction to her partner being attracted to males)

Combined with the comments under the clip, my little bi heart was shattered.

Biphobia is excused every single day and this comment section was filled with lesbians being really overtly biphobic and then cackling about the fact they were waiting for "the wave of screaming bis" to show up to 'claim biphobia'

Only.....can someone explain to me how it isn't fucking biphobia to make your partner walk you through a mental breakdown about THEIR SEXUALITY??

Genuinely explain to me how that isn't biphobic

I wouldn't date someone who hyperventilates over the thought that my hair is brown so why tf would I accept multiple deep-relationship convos about a basic fact my partner knew when they chose to date me?

Now, Girl in Red at the very least acknowledged that it wasn't cool, was 100% her problem etc, and in my opinion she has every right to explore that kind of thing in her art. But the way the comment section reacted was essentially "shut the fuck up bi women, you'll never know how insecure we are because of how you lot fuck dick and a lesbian writing a song about this is something you just can't comprehend"

There's a difference between exploring complex uncomfortable themes in a song, and deciding that it is logical and normal to treat your partner like this.

#honest to god yeah this is how it is a lot of the time #and its exhausting tbh #I can still recall a post by someone in the queer community #claiming no one else in it could #'understand what it was like to get hate from all sides #but then the community still demands #your support anyways' #and its like lmao #I'm bi so yeah I do know what that's like actually #but yeah so far my wife and boyfriend are #both bi and both are trans also #so I'll say the last addition is onto something maybe

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

the notes on that last poll are insane there was someone who said they separate fics into "porn" and "story" and they didnt stop for a second to think that sex in and of itself might be a story??? the way some of you people trivialize sex and explicit art is fucking bonkers to me. you sound like a christian when you act like sex cheapens art or like art focusing on sex is a completely separate category from non-sexual art. explicit fics, yes even pwp (which i believe is a misnomer anyways), are telling stories and they're stories worth telling because sex is normal and healthy and deeply important to many of us. just because something gets you off doesn't mean it's cheap or meaningless. i'd argue that things that engage the viewer sexually are very meaningful because human sexuality is complex and beautiful and worth sharing and exploring. Grow up and read about the guys you like sucking eachother off
