“Obviously ‘bihet’ offends a lot of bisexuals, so we need to come up with a better term for bisexuals in m/f relationships.”

How about… and hear me out… this may sound crazy…. but you… continue to call us bisexual… because (and I realize this gets confusing for you people so read this next part slowly) it turns out we continue to be bisexual regardless of who we’re dating.

You’re a r e b e l, Spellman. That’s how I like my witches.

“bisexuals aren’t really lgbt, they’re just confused” oh yeah? whats the b stand for then? bears? beets? battlestar galactica?

The biggest problem with the majority of Captain Marvel reviews coming from men is that none of these guys seem to comprehend a narrative that isn’t meant for them.

They see Carol finally breaking free from being gaslighted by the Kree as “emotionally underwhelming,” never realizing that a climactic, emotional showdown with her abuser would be giving him exactly what he wants. Being in control of her emotions? Choosing not to react to a provocation? That’s strength most male comic fans don’t understand. They see masculine-coded strength as the only valid kind. Carol not being angry and putting Yon-Rogg down in a shonen-esque battle doesn’t make sense to them because it’s not what they would have done.

They see a woman struggling to work through lies she’d been told as “bad narrative structure,” when in reality the movie was never about building Carol up from nothing, but about her realizing her true potential through seeing past those lies. Carol’s character arc parallels many women attaining social consciousness, throwing off patriarchal lies they’d been conditioned to accept about who they are and what they can do. Her story isn’t about attaining power, but about embracing her true potential that had been deliberately hidden from her.

They see Carol’s emotions not lining up with the lies her abusers told her about being too emotional as “bad writing” or “bad acting,” never realizing that that was exactly the point. They only understand defiance as impassioned, outward battles of will and pride, not understanding that quiet, steadfast refusal to bend to others’ designs of who you should be is strength too.

Brie Larson was absolutely right. Carol’s story is not for the men who are usually seen as the MCU’s target audience. And nothing proves that more than all the fanboys who didn’t understand the movie’s themes throwing fits about it on the internet.

ok im gonna go on a minimini rant rn so just ignore

i love queer eye a lot, and ive been watching a lot of interviews, and I’m disgusted at how the producers of this show will force the fab five into uncomfortable, possibly dangerous situations without seemingly caring for their wellbeing? tan was asked if he was a terrorist twice, nearly walked off the show but continued, but he was just expected to continue helping these men? the episode with the tr*mp supporter, when they get pulled over by the police man, they werent told that this was fake, the whole cast except for them knew it was fake but they did not and it was such a scary and stupidly ignorant prank to pull on someone, especially with karamo driving and having to get out. karamo and tan rightfully refused to film the next day i think, but still they had to continue, then bobby, after telling the production team straight up when he got cast about his trauma with his religion and how he refused to do anything to do with a church, was FORCED to renovate a building for a church. and they tried to tell him it was just a community center. just. the disrespect i cannot beliiieve. i am disgusted by the amount of times they have been blindsided by ignorant things like this and expected to get on with it and if they walked off and refused to keep going i would not blame them at all. i getwhy they dont reveal who it was who called tan a terrorist but at the same time i dont want to be watching and loving someone in the episode, unknowingly knowing that im supporting a person who thinks like that. and tan, karamo and bobby deserve better than to have to deal with it.
