#of white men

[fondwand]

it's really boring to me how uninterested fandom STILL is in women and girl characters. like every show, no matter the quality of the characters and the importance of whatever narrative is being woven, the only thing that ever gets traction is men. so much energy gets put into mediocre scraps of story about men, completely obliterating any love in fandom spaces for women characters.

it's not okay just because it's supposedly queer, and you can't justify the way whole spaces will just ignore women in media for any sliver of more of men's stories just because it is. Where's your energy for women? Where's your energy for queer women? women of colour, women of different ages, women of varying body types, trans women, where is your hype and fervour when this is part of a piece of media?

this isn't explicitly about stranger things, although yeah it is a little, but not really. this isn't about glorifying ST women rep. it's just about having been in fandoms for a while having been on ao3 and tumblr for a while, and seeing the dearth of rep and support and love for women. it's always an imbalance on tags, always so many more stories about men and their lives and their experiences and their spaces. and when we know that fandom is a women-led space its like, why isn't this becoming more equal? maybe ask yourself why so much of fandom is the glorification of men by young women. why it's automatically so much easier to baby and headcanon and fandomify men characters and if it's because you've been trained your whole life to view male interiority and life as more complex and valid than women. if the reason queer fandom spaces are still so dominated by gay men ships is a little in part because we still don't see women's sexuality as as valid, or interesting.

just. Where's your energy for women? and I know that it has been in part because of the lack of well written women, but you can't come back and say that hasn't changed. it has changed. and there are so many interesting women! so many interesting stories and explorations and representations. and it will never matter in fandom as long as there's one white guy to champion and crown and carry through the streets on a kings chair.

I just makes me wonder why in a show with an explicit queer woman, the main superhero chosen one type who's a girl, multiple independent young women and girls who are making their own choices and standing beside men characters with powerful and fun and interesting stories, a middle age women with amazing drive and intelligence and personality allowed to be not only competent and consistently correct but also a love interest always displayed as desirable despite the way Hollywood hates Middle aged women, I mean.

I'm not saying it's the greatest representation since sliced bread. I'm just saying, where is your energy for any of them and their stories and their rich interior lives and their narratives? no. it has to be about men and of it isnt its bad writing

I just think maybe you need to reflect and start honing your ability to appreciate women and view them as interesting beings who can carry narratives etcetera. because I do believe that is a skill we have to learn in this world and one that is severely lacking.

#stranger things #i cant even word this right #and its not like i loved vol 2 #i liked it sure #i just am so bored #of white men #im not anti byler im not anti anything #all of the ships are well and fine #but i love max! #robin is one of my favourite characters ever! #joyce is so inspiring! #erica is so smart and self-assured and allowed to have such a bold unapologetic personality #robin is gay and awkward and frantic and strange and we never get that! #we never get strange crazy powerful women #but it doesnt matter right #becuase the white men arent getting enough screen time #and we need another ship with the same boring beats to dominate ao3 #stranger things volume 2 #sorry i know this is long

Remember The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock? The movie showed how a kid who had an extremely rough upbringing got help from the family of a school friend, found success in football and ultimately ended up being adopted by the family. Turns out he was never adopted.

Michael Oher says that he was tricked by the Tuohy family into signing documents that made them his conservators. Since he was already 18 at the time the family told him, “that it means pretty much the exact same thing as 'adoptive parents,' but that the laws were just written in a way that took [his] age into account.”

Oher also says that papers were signed so that his story and likeness were given away for free to use in The Blind Side. He also never got a single royalty check for the hugely successful, Oscar nominated film in the 14 years since its release.

I can’t explain what blue eye samurai makes me feel…���.its a typical revenge story, a man sets out on his hero’s journey to kill the four men who have wronged him. A lone ronin, wide brimmed hat and sword in hand, roaming Edo Japan on his vendetta. But he’s not a man. He’s a woman. And how has he been wronged? What’s she getting revenge on?

On the fact that she exists. She wants revenge on the four white men that could possibly have conceived her. Who got her Japanese mother pregnant with a blue-eyed child. And not just any blue-eyed child, but a girl child. How is she possibly supposed to live in the world like that? For the wrong of being conceived, for the wrong of being born, for the wrong of being birthed into a world that will never love or accept her, she will kill her father.

I don’t know what level of convoluted self hate that is. Is she a child of rape? Or a child of a whore? Halfway through I realise what she told herself at the start couldn’t possibly be true - it’s not really for her mother. Her mother wasn’t the root of her vendetta, she wasn’t really doing it for her. When she leaves that farm and leaves the chance to live a simple, legitimate life as a woman, she goes right back to hunting down the men. Those men personally wronged her.

And then there’s so much to be discussed surrounding the way she grew up, because as a boy child and a man she can afford so much more than life has dealt her. Her swordfather who took her in out of the love and care in his heart had no shame in teaching a mixed man his art. The face of a ‘demon’ is fine. But not the identity of a woman. Shh. Don’t say it. Don’t confess. He knows and doesn’t want to hear it.

And because she’s lived that way her entire life for safety and security, she’s so completely alienated from being a woman, perhaps she really is he. But not really by choice. Or is it? The thing she does best is the art of killing, the art of men. Gender is a prison and gender is a performance and she has to choose which to perform. The times cannot reconcile hatred and violence with a woman. So she lives as a man.

So she can get revenge on her father, for revenge on herself.

#blue eye samurai #everything about mizu is so deeply upsetting #like ok revenge!! #revenge of what - exactly?! #white men? #and/ or your white self? #born against your will? #and who and what shapes this will of yours except the society you were born in? #this is so deeply fucked in every way #but anyways #I love Mizu and I hope he kills his father dead. if only - if only that would satisfy her. #my posts

call me crazy but maybe they should stop making documentaries about serial killers. especially when the victims’ families weren’t consulted or compensated. just a thought

#and maybe y’all should stop watching them too #all the white women talking about how they were able to sit through/it wasn’t scary or gruesome blah blah blah #telling on themselves. like we get that u don’t care about this shit #when it’s affecting poc esp Black men and BOYS. #no awareness whatsoever #and you get dumb fucks like that sb from earlier talking about how it’s the queer rep they want #like god kys #antiblackness
