La expropiación de las mujeres 
La mujer fue expropiada de todo medio de producción desde hace milenios, es decir, no se le permite trabajar, ni estudiar. Durante milenios su única salida para sobrevivir es la belleza; es un asunto de vida o muerte agradarle a la clase dominante o a lo que más se le parezca . De ahí le viene su paranoia sobre su novio; en conclusión, que no se les va a erradicar ese comportamiento hasta que extingamos el trabajo asalariado y todos por derecho humano tengan acceso a los medios de producción: Maquinaria, tierra y Libertad para todos.
The expropriation of women: The woman was expropriated from every means of production for millennia, that is, she is not allowed to work, study. For millennia his only exit to survive is beauty; It is a matter of life or death to please the ruling class or what seems most. From there comes her paranoia about her boyfriend; In conclusion, that this behavior will not be eradicated until we extinguish salaried work and all by human right have access to the means of production: Machinary, Land & Freedom for everyone.

the music and film industry specifically the latter in light of the recent news about spiderverse prove once again that passion and innovation do not get rewarded under capitalism, they get exploited.
recently, a handful of animators came forward to share their story about the working conditions on this movie. allegedly they worked 11 hours a day, without a day off. 77 hours a week. they were treated like machines.
capitalism is inherently coercive. it sucks everything out of the workers. their energy, their creativity, their worth. under capitalism, you, as a worker, have no leverage over your labour. if you have the guts to quit, you'll potentially be risking everything and you will be replaced by someone else who needs the job.
as much as I ADORED this movie, i cannot stand for this and I will not be able to enjoy beyond the spiderverse clean of conscience, especially if they are able to release it on its scheduled release date. the animators created a masterpiece. they deserve the recognition and love for their work. the circumstances under which this movie was crafted were inhumane and abusive and under the current promise of releasing the sequel in less than a year the situation can only get worse.
no amount of pay will ever justify 77 hours a week. art cannot be rushed. if we continue to only praise this masterpiece without criticising the people on top who take all the profit for themselves and exploit their workers, it will prove to them that ultimately it was all worth it and consequently, these actions were okay.
if the release does not get pushed back, I will have no other choice but to boycott spiderverse next year and i encourage you to do the same. if you really love these movies, its the least we can do.

Hello there 👋
Can you talk about why you feel the way you do about the female bsd characters? (including the female characters you like) and while I don't think the author doesn't know how to write female characters I think the biggest problem with the female characters is that they're underutilized and barely have much screentime ( the most one we saw recently having screentime currently in the manga is teruko)
Hi!! I love you all SO much but seriously I don't have the mental stability to talk about why the bsd female characters are badly written ahah. Here's my best attempt at it:
I hope it's enough for me to say there's a female / male characters proportion of like 1:10, and no female character has any real repercussion on the plot– literally. Besides from Kyouka and Lucy and maybe Yosano? you could hypothetically erease every other female character and... Realistically, nothing would change. That's just how much irrelevant all but three female characters are, and there's already very few compared to the rest of the male cast. The four main / most popular characters are all males. Dazai is openly sexist and it's just kind of there never to be addressed. Akutagawa is repetedly violent with his female coworker and it's treated as a gag (like you DO realize how repulsive it is to write a character who is obsessed with her abuser and never be intentioned to elaborate on that because I guess that's what women are supposed to do according to author? Like. okay). But honestly the main issue for me is how each of them literally gravitates around another male character. God, it's SO annoying. And I mean every single of them!!! Every. single. Every single!!!! I struggle to come up with even one exception to the pattern. Kyouka has Atsushi as her savior, Lucy has Atsushi as her savior, Higuchi is obsessed with Akutagawa, Naomi is obsessed with Jun'ichirou, Gin literally exists because of Akutagawa, Alcott is just there to aid Fitzgerald, Margaret's only role in the story is to save Hawthorne, Elise is just expression of Mori. Teruko is a person in the body of a child who literally drools over her 50-something superior, like we hadn't as a society come to the common agreement that the “not as old as she looks” trope was disgusting pedophilia apologism like ten years ago (but it's okay though, because pedophilia was established to be okay in this manga at like, chapter 15 or something) (is this the good time to bring up that time Aya asked Kunikida out? No? Okay let's just collectively pretend that never happened). Do I need to go on? I haven't read Gaiden, but do I really need to read it to know Tsujimura gravitates around Ayatsuji? Oh wait, I was just remembered about Gaiden's full title: Bungou Stray Dogs Gaiden: Ayatsuji Yukito VS. Kyougoku Natsuhiko, and if that doesn't speak of the consideration author gives their female characters, I don't know what does. It's just– no female character is ever going to have their own novel. No female character is ever going to be protagonist. They'll just keep being treated as they've always been so far, like flat and personality-less disposable plot devices.
Now. I love Yosano's backstory, I really do- I think it was the best executed arc of the manga, reading those two chapter still gives me chills. But you do have to acknowledge, Yosano herself has no agency in the entire arc development. It's okay, she was eleven, it's natural; but she is just tossed one way to the other by other characters. That, and I can't stretch it enough, is not a bad thing on its own; not all stories have to scream #womanpower to be good stories. It's a good story. But you need to acknowledge it does nothing to empower female characters' role in this manga; it just speaks once again of it being a systematic problem, how author can't write female characters like they were masters of their fate if their life depended on it. And it's not that just because there's one (1) mini arc that happens to have a female character as its protagonist, author knows how to write female characters with depth, or agenda, or an objective, or personality, because... They clearly don't.
Like. I probably became annoying by now but like. When was the last time you found any bsd fan whose favorite character was a woman? When was the last time you found people describing themselves as a Lucy kinnie? If you ask me, it's not a matter of fans' fault for overlooking female characters; the female characters in this franchise are meant to be overlooked, because they're abysmally less stretched out and complex compared to their male counterparts– because male characters are distinctive and unique, while author can't go outside the range of one-dimensional femme fatale, letal woman (Yosano, Kouyou, Teruko, Christie, Gin / Lucy / Elise too to an extent) and woman who's just there to obsess over a male character (Alcott, Higuchi). But do not fret, because author will sometimes go outside that scheme by making a letal femme fatale who also obsesses over a male character! (Naomi). Also this
Tumblr media
(Have you ever wondered why I never talk about Beast Gin? Yeah.)
Okay but you see the problem here? You see how it's impossible to make the same kind of argument for the male characters, because they're all diverse and various and multilayered as much as their little screentime allows? Higuchi doesn't exist outside Akutagawa, Lucy doesn't exist outside Atsushi; but it's not like you can say the same goes the other way round. That is, crossing out the various parallels drawn between male characters, but that only speaks more of how precisely curated male characters are, while all female characters... I'll be honest, aren't written as people. Author really sounds like your average Washington Post best selling psychological thriller author of the week that writes women like an alien species from another planet. It would have spared me having been writing this whole post for an hour (two hours? Which is definitely not the time I wanted to spend on this, man) if only author would have formed the thought, at the start of the serialization: “perhaps! Perhaps I should write women as people instead of writing them as female characters (whatever that means)”. Alas, we ended up with the infamous Naomi description from Untold Origins (what the fuck. who in their right mind would ever think of writing something like that. what the fuck.)
Now, I know if you're here reading this you most definitely like bsd. It's okay, really. Unpopular opinion, but people are perfectly allowed to like things that are flawed (and this is a big flaw). What's extremely important, seriously, I'm on my knees begging you, is to be critical of the media you consume. All kinds of media. Even if you end up disagreeing with me on this matter, really!! Just be able to tell apart the things that make appealing a series for you from whatever kind of agenda / worldview the author is pushing through, and peacefully acknowledge you can like something despite it having issues (because bsd has issues). I don't know who needs to hear this, but someone definitely does: “I love s/kk!!” “the bsd storytelling has many compelling aspects!!” and “I recognize the bsd writing has flaws some of which actively harm an already disadvantaged part of society” are statements that can and should coexist, and if anything - and I know you hate to hear this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry - it should be kept in mind when deciding to support the franchise by buying its products.
One final note is that like... I'm sorry if this comes off as pretentious but I seriously feel like people have NO idea what media with well written female characters look like, because for people to even question bsd being sexist is just insane to me (in the way: do we really need to to talk about it, isn't it obvious like ten seconds in the show??). And this is probably the least good place to advertise things, but please do yourself a favor and read The Promised Neverland and learn what well written female characters read like.
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#Me writing this: I guess this is why everyone hates political sciences students uh#Following up: Why Romanticizing Mafia Is Actually Very Bad (no click bait ‼️‼️ )#Also since I brought up tpn: do you really think that it's a coincidence that the manga with incredibly well written female characters–#and a socialist agenda who was in the top ten Japan's yearly best selling franchises for the entirety of its four years serialization–#got an insulting two seasons anime adaptation that completely narrated another story from the manga‚ a live action movie and THAT'S IT#While series like bsd which didn't even enter the top 20 selling franchises like? Ever? are at their tenth year of serialization–#an excellent four seasons (and counting) anime adaptation five spin-off manga one of which has its own anime–#nine novels as many stage plays and two movies? Do you REALLY think it's a coincidence?#anti bsd#For blacklisting purposes ಥ_ಥ#I know there's some people who won't like reading this but let's be honest...

i love tumblrs relationship to pigeons for trying to like rehabilitate the image of what has basically become an urban pest but without grappling with the actually interesting and complicated legacy of pigeon breeding clubs as basically proto eugenics hangouts for daddys boys and wannabe physiocrats. like i can't really think of another rich person hobby with this degree of ideological baggage that gets stripped of historical context in quite the same way. it would be like if people started saying physiognomy had been unfairly suppressed by bourgeois french liberals and needs to be reclaimed as a radical alternative to biomedical psychiatry

george orwell was pretty cool, actually.
ive observed that its a fairly common thread in leftist (esspecially the more broad “leftist unity”) spaces to say “hes bad, actually” or just more generally disavow him. Considering his whole body of work and all the things he did throughout his life and the positions he held, i think this is quite far from the right thing to do.

Marx argues that the difference b/w animals and humans is a socio-natural difference of historical praxis and a historically constructed difference that is determined by the qualitative difference in either group’s engagement in their species-specific social labour. according to marx, the differentiation b/w humans & animals arises when humans begin to produce their own means of subsistence, that is when humans distinctively engage in conscious social activity that transforms their species-being. thus, animals and humans differ in their species-specific social labour that transform, shape and determine their species-being under particular historical & material conditions. instead of arguing for a conceptual or dualist differentiation b/w humans & animals, marx relies on a scientifically historical materialist method of differentiation that is not reductive or binary. he emphasises on the inherently dialectical relationship b/w Man & Animal: that animals, like humans, engage in their own ‘life-activity’, that is they too perform work and engage in their own species-specific forms of social activity; that in the process of engaging in their own life-activity, animals too make their own history but they do not make them as they please; that humans are a part of natural history just as much as animals are a part of human history; and finally, that the evolution and co-evolution of human history & animal history occur in mutual dependency on each other. within this dialectical unity of animals & humans, humans developed particular socio-natural capacities & relations with others and with nature, alongside the development of other animals’ own socio-natural capacities & their relations with nature. this difference-in-unity evolved over time and will continue to evolve so long as nature as we know it continues to exist. therefore, there is no absolute, transhistorical or fixed opposition b/w humans & animals. rather, they exist in a dialectical unity with each other. in this way, it is impossible to assert that the domination of humans over animals is a matter of “natural” differences pertaining to differences in physiology and anatomy. rather this difference refers to the specific socio-practical, historically-contingent and historically-constructed differences between animals and humans that resulted over the course of social and natural history (indeed it is impossible to completely separate social history from natural history and vice versa). similarly, it is impossible to assert that there exists “natural” differences between men and women beyond physiology and anatomy without considering the socio-economic and historically contingent processes that have given physiological and anatomical differences in “women” and “men” as between humans and animals, their ideological significance and meaning. instead of focusing on these social and historical processes, bourgeois ideology has hitherto concerned itself with these so-called “biological” and “natural” differences, appropriating them to legitimise subordination rather than inquiring into the structures of oppression that require the use of physiological and anatomical difference as justification for those very same structures of oppression.
