do you blame the guy

I can and do in fact blame the guy

:yea:

you like drugs? well I’m going to kill you with drugs! ! ! !

I mean saying a sexualized female character is inherently misogynistic is literally saying that women are wrong to enjoy that thing, it is an argument inherently framed that the woman enjoying those things is just naively enjoying a misogynist male fantasy and is stripped of her agency and ability to enjoy said thing, which is kind of fucked up when that thing is, to those women, related to “being sexual at all themselves”

and saying Bayonetta is a misogynist thing because this dev guy said misogynistic things isn’t a really good argument

the things he said were misogynistic, the thing that was made with a small portion of his involvement (pretty sure like workers make things not just one dev guy btw) is not, especially not as a consequence of his saying or believing those things

“blah blah blah the artist’s intention” the Fahrenheit 451 guy said the book was about how bad TV is

okay, well, I’ve just seen this user repeatedly express their frustration with the attitudes that it is wrong for a woman to enjoy or appreciate these things and construe it as a form of bodyshaming when they relate their own aesthetic to what’s being criticized and I don’t think they deserve to be browbeaten into believing they’re just internalizing misogyny or whatever just because that’s what you feel to be correct about it

I think the point is that bayonneta can be a man’s horny fantasy and also a woman’s horny fantasy too and the existence of said horny fantasy isn’t inherently misogynist (although statements like “i think all women should dress like her” absolutely are) and saying that it is is a slight on women who enjoy said horny fantasy as well as those who might physically or stylistically relate to Bayonetta’s aesthetic

Reddit gets a 2 hour hate boner every time China is mentioned in any way so I’m not even sure the Ukraine shit even makes a difference.

I saw an old repost of a clip of chinese children playing with balls in a cooperative exercise and multiple people seriously suggested if a child misses the dribble when switching places they and their family get executed

Redditors are fucking stupidly racist
