sometimes i worry about the progression of my own personal character arc
#if i watched the tv show of my life i would complain about the lazy writing
I think right now for me the audience would be having a war where one half was saying “OH MY GOD…

Orrrrrrrr maybe we’d like for the show we loved not to be run into ground by continuing on. Crazy, isn’t it? There comes a point when a show should end because going on makes everything worse, and that’s how I feel about Being Human now. Series 4 should be...
“Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their...”
– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe)
The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.
Did I mention this was written over a hundred years...

Conversation overheard at Gamestop
Mom: It's rated M, I just wanted to see how bad the sex is in the game.
Cashier: Well it's one of the more violent games out right now. Like chainsawing people in half and watching them get ripped apart on screen.
Mom: But no sex, right? No kissing or anything? Any language?
Cashier: No, no sex, and the language isn't anything worse than the s-word.
Mom: Okay, because it's for my five year old so I just wanted to make sure. That's fine then.
I DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS COUNTRY. Chainsawing people in half is fucking fine, but God forbid he should hear a dirty word or see people kiss.
I really need to understand the logic behind "Watch all the death, but no depictions of love allowed."

Unlike the female characters in many sci-fi shows who exist to be rescued, Alisha and Kelly give us something to cheer about
[x]
It’s tough being a female character in a British sci-fi show. You’re going to be exposed to peril on a weekly basis. You’ll definitely need to book in some time to be saved by the show’s dashing yet mildly geeky hero. If you’re lucky you’ll...

I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never condone. And they’ve told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a...
