anyways on the note of bmc being misogynistic. bc it is.

the biggest slap in the face was when they gave christine a feminist patch but didn't change almost anything about the girls characters. sure, brooke stands up for herself once.

but when do any of the girls talk to each other about anything other than boys?

when do the girls get to have meaningful conversations and connections?

when does christine, a self proclaimed feminist, actually TALK to another woman about something other than a boy?

if the whole plot is about overcoming insecurity and making lasting meaningful friendships, why do the girls not get that chance?

jennas ignored but we never get to see her NOT ignored. even the fandom ignores her.

brookes treated as, basically, a prop and a stepping stone, and they will SAY "this is bad I'm using her" but never actually confront it.

chloe is a caricature of a "mean girl" who is controlling and obsessive and aggressive. she never gets a real chance to be anything else.

christine is the main female lead, she's quirky and interesting and her patches say she's a feminist. but what do we know about her? what do the other girls know about her?

do the girls ever get a chance to be friends?

it just baffles me when ppl say 'chloe didn't get enough character development to be a good character' as if ANY of the characters did. like... did we watch the same show. i'm sorry but bmc is quite literally not that deep it's not that well-written lmao it's not just chloe there is a lack of character development overall. i'm sorry to say it but bmc is not as good as some of y'all make it out to be and it becomes infinitely more enjoyable when you accept that.

Puerto rico has been held hostage by America for over a century the fact that over 200000 people were without power during a major heatwave is unacceptable. Climate change is literally killing people in the global south and nobody cares because it doesn't affect them

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

now that the sinovac article is trending i don’t want to think about the western communists who will, under the pretense of shitting on america, will probably simultaneously dismiss the very real effects of chinese imperialism in the philippines; probably don’t bother to learn about the POGOs or China’s continuous harassment over the west philippine sea (situations that the US enthusiastically uses for its own benefit of course) or honestly any third world concerns that are still subject to large imperial powers.

yes, it’s absolutely disgusting that the US will only selfishly use these circumstances to instill sinophobia, accelerate their neoliberal values into an already struggling, postcolonial society, but you need to approach these things with a totality. understand that with little to no efforts of non-alignment governance, this global south country has long been swayed under numerous agents, actors, imperial powers that have other interests than the wellbeing of its people at all.

one of the ph left's slogans is "us-china, layas" (us-china, go away). two imperialists who don't give a shit about the philippines.
