103. Feminism: You're doing it wrong. If a female character sucks, I am going to say that she sucks, and I am not going to apologize for it just because she has a vagina. I refuse to LIKE characters I cannot relate to just because they have vaginas. As for you, comparing yourself to "real" feminists as if anyone's chasing you down in the street trying to gang-rape you because you're wearing jeans instead of a skirt that doesn't show your ankles makes me want to slap you in the stupid face for pretending you can hold a candle to anything women historically had to go through, or are better than anyone else because you disapprove of women with the wrong attitudes. Ugh.

She never said anything about liking fictional characters just because they are women. You seem awfully defensive though.

Cool story, bro.

You. Completely. Missed. The point.

So, I dare say, did the OP.

The point ---->.

Your head ------> 0

Congratu-fucking-lations.

wat

Let's check off the anti-feminist bingo card hits!

"You're not a real feminist!" Check.

"You're not preventing women from being gang-raped, so whatever you're doing now isn't feminism!" Check.

"Gratuitous violent imagery!" Check, although at least it's just "slap you in the face" instead of "maybe being raped would shut you up" like the really nasty misogynists go for.

"You haven't been oppressed enough to be worth listening to!" Check.

No, you don't get a prize.

HOLY SHIT. I refuse to believe anyone has ever, or would ever, say "maybe being raped would shut you up". I absolutely refuse. ;_;

Stuff I didn't say for $500, Alex! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man)

The point. It has gone FLYING over your head.

I think it might actually be in orbit now.

It's so cute how people keep saying this and not specifying what the point IS OR WHY IT MATTERS.

Elaborate or go suck a dick, kthx.

the point: did you hear the whooshing sound it made when it went flying over your head

she never said 'YOU CAN'T DISLIKE GIRLS' she said 'STOP DISLIKING THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE GIRLS' which is entirely different :/

and don't say 'nobody does that' because they do. irl, girls can get away with a lot more shit than guys can. in fandom it's the exact opposite for some reason.

Maaaaybe it's because FANDOM ISN'T REAL LIFE.

Fandom is not a reflection of real-life attitudes, actions, or anything else.

*pulls out laser pointer* ...and here's "Exhibit A" of the overly defense and utterly point-missing slash fans I mentioned in my earlier comment.

so do you like know this person or just making an assumption he/she's a slash fan?

gethenian.livejournal.com - 2009-02-26 05:31 (UTC) - Expand

Where did it say that they were a slash fan?

You're stupid. Please try again.

I have bingo now, right?

Sadly, I think someone else beat you to it.

OIC.

If you feel the need to get this defensive over that secret, there's pretty good odds that you are exactly who it's talking about.

Having known this person through an RPG, you are exactly right in that assessment.

I can see your point, mostly. I've actually been told I ought to make an effort to like a female character because I'm female and she's female, and it's my obligation. (Further, I've been told I need to make an effort to WRITE a female character more/better than the male characters I like.) Huh? I didn't get into fandom to do homework.

To me, liking a character ought to be based on liking that character, period. Just like liking a real person. By that definition, there are people of both genders who make me happy or fail hard. LOL.
