People hate her, they really do. Did you know that to Yoko someone is a verb in America? It is something that boys say if they’re hanging out with you too much and they’re going to school or they have a band. It’s almost a myth that’s used to suppress women. Y’know, ‘You’re gonna Yoko me. You’re gonna destroy me.’ And this woman put up with racial inequality from Fleet Street, she put up with being accused of breaking up the best band in the world, she put up with people’s idea that she castrated this man and then, worst of all, she had her best friend, her husband, the person she lived for, die in her arms in front of a fortress that she’d hidden herself in for 20 years. And I just feel that the world media should apologize to her because she handled it with so much dignity.

My favorite way of how people excercise their heterosexual privilege is when they tell me they don’t know any gay people, and explain it with:

“…but maybe I can’t know, because I move in circles where you can’t live that openly”

Look at all the diversity! It’s amazing in how many different shapes love comes. 

Fuck you, OUaT.

people are boycotting the Kraft commercials for the “Zesty” salad topping because it features a topless man in compromising situations.

people are boycotting it because it sexualizes a man. 

people are boycotting a commercial that features one of the oldest marketing strategies because this time it’s a man being exploited.

Time to buy some Kraft products, even though I don’t really need them.

Morgan LeFlay: Ghost Pirate Hunter I wish Disney wouldn’t own every-fucking-thing so the Monkey Island series could continue.  Additionally Morgan and Elaine need a spin-off series. Right now there’s not even fanfiction about them.

Dear Orphan Black, 

That Kira kid isn’t gonna stop growing soon. Therefore I suggest you shoot plenty more episodes real fast.

Here it is, folks — A ton of reasons why you should come to FaberryCon West, as told by many of our supporters and attendees, both past and future.

A huge thank you to the TEN people who submitted videos for this project! It wouldn’t be what it is without you, much like FaberryCon itself <3

Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you—don’t take drinks from other people. She’s 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously I don’t know, maybe she wasn’t a virgin, but she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.

In which another successful woman buys into the lies of misogyny.

And for the record, yes, you ARE blaming the girl. And her parents, who weren’t even involved in the crime at all.

If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.

Jane Espenson (from interview with Advocate.com)\

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said.

(via aragingquiet)

I’d argue that this can be said for fiction in its entirety. This is what bothers me about “mainstream” stories which consist of only cishet white people who are mostly male… plus the random token “diverse” person of the day. Very special snowflakes.

You have zero limitations to what you do, what the world looks like, what society looks like…. and THAT is what you come up with? A bunch of cishet white dudes? Really? Metaphors for oppression starring cishet white dudes? Really? Physical and emotional violence against women?

Wow, thanks for letting me know what your mind looks like.

Confession: I don’t like all the Orphan Black clones. I really only like Alison Hendrix.

I’m kinda tired so I’m just assuming I read this wrong and this post says you like all the clones except for Alison.

Nope. I find myself always cackling at her scenes, plus Sarah’s brother. I don’t dislike the others exactly, I’m just nonplussed about them. Is it required that I like certain ones? *shrug*

Required? No. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense, you know, from an objective point of view (mine). 

Alison is fun to watch, even though I still don’t fully buy that role. I think Cosima is a cool character that the sci fi genre needed. And I’m in love with Helena. Pretty whatever about Sarah, too. May be because the whole Paul thing is bullshit.

That’s deeply disappointing that you think that…I think that the one thing that this show does not want to do is try to pander or try to make certain segments of the audience more comfortable by throwing one of the ladies back in with a man. I think that would be such an insult, such an insult, and that’s not what we’re about. As far as I know, that’s not even going to be in the game plan. So I’m going to shoot down that prediction right now!

I’m quite relieved that she sees how insulting that would be. It’s good to have at least this one show acknowledge that lesbians are real.

Yes, it’s disappointing that we actually expect a lesbian character to hook up with a man at some point. It’s sad that that’s what we usually get to see on television.
