Dear Moffat,
Women do not exist solely for men. Please stop defining your female characters exclusively in relation to your man-child protagonists.
I’m talking about you, Clara “I was born to save the Doctor” Oswald.
You’re missing the whole point because it’s not about a woman saving a man, it’s about a human being saving the Doctor, being his guardian angel, and being a woman it’s a plus because I think the idea is that she is courageous enough to put her life in the line to save someone she loves, whether it’s a man or not!
This is not being a feminist. This is just hating a man because he’s a man! So keep your judgemental bullshit to a minimum and stop trying to corrupt this amazing show!
You’re talking to the man who wrote in an inter-species lesbian couple into half the episodes in this series. Come on.
you can ship two people of the same gender as a platonic “brotp” without being homophobic (ノ ◕ヮ ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
you can ship two people of the same gender romantically/sexually without being a queer fetishizer ✧・゚:*ヽ(◕ヮ ◕ヽ)
you can ship two people of the same gender both platonically and romantically and oh my god stop automatically assuming someone’s ship choices are motivated by bigotry ✧・゚:*ヽ(◕ ヮ ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

AH, I HAVE DISCOVERED WHY I HATE YOUR GUTS.
He acts like Star Trek is no longer needed for its ability to address social issues, so now why not just turn it into a bright and shiny action flick and nothing else? Dizzy bastard.
He took a project on without really realizing what it meant to so many people. I’m not just talking about those “crazy” nerds that stand in lines at conventions for hours. I’m talking about Marton Luther King Jr., who begged Nichelle Nichols not to quit the show. I’m talking about the hundreds of men and women that joined the navy or airforce, worked in the space industry, or became astronauts because of Star Trek. He’s forgotten all those people. He didn’t have faith that Star Trek in its purest form could reach all people– because it never reached him. So he molded it into something very different to fit a societal standard of action movies that pervades Hollywood today.
He missed that mark. And he pats himself on the back for it.
ok, seriously guys. Next time you want to write MCU!loki as a delicate easily broken little woob I want you to sit down and remember avengers
And I want you to remember what Hulk did to the helicarrier
And I want you to remember what Hulk did to a friggin’ jet.
And I want you to remember what Hulk did to the Leviathans.
And then I want you to remember that Loki was trapped in a room with a pissed off Hulk using him as its own personal pinata and was still conscious at the end of it.

did you know that if people dont know something or make a mistake you can educate them without being an asshole and hurting their feelings

I don’t care if you drink, smoke, claim straight edge, have lots of sex, have no sex, believe in god, believe in aliens, believe in nothing, eat meat, eat no meat, are vegan, or even like anything I like. Just be cool with me, and I’ll be cool with you.

This is definitely inspired by the Cosplay ≠ Consent campaign (or more exactly, CONsent) and by an older but new to me story on The Mary Sue about a Black Cat cosplayer who had enough of this crap and told them so. It also started as just stick figures to fit today’s April Drawing Challenge, but got more defined as I kept at it. And there’s also the difference between “sexy” and “sexualisation” at play here, from today’s post in Less Tits n’ Ass. It’s a melting pot of many things, and I’m happy with how it turned out, although my original mind image definitely had a Kate Beaton+Adventure Time style, which I could not emulate without references.
Keeping the characters as simplified as possible means I can get away with gender-identifying the actors; I deliberately made the last character androgynous so there’s no real assignment of meaning other than standing up to the douchebags no matter who you are.
Hope you like!
So Awesome! I’m actually working on some art for this too! ARTISTS UNITE FOR THE CAUSE!
Aww look Mandy! Inspired by your bravery! ♡♡
PSA: if somebody likes a problematic/unhealthy ship but doesn’t try to defend the problematic elements of that ship and simply enjoys it in a fictional/narrative context with all of it’s fucked up ness and you attack them and bring their personal morality into question for shipping it, you are the asshole in that situation.

this might not be the same for you as it is for me but
