February is black history month. March is women’s history month. WHERE THE FUCK IS WHITE HISTORY MONTH? OR MEN’S HISTORY MONTH? Don’t get me wrong, I know that my demographic is responsible for almost all of the racism and stereotyping and repression and all that horribleness. But the fact that there is a specific month set aside to make minorities feel different is also racist. Didn’t we decide a long time ago that “separate but equal” is inherently not equal? So why separate blacks for a whole month? Why separate women? The only way to bring about an end to racism is to stop talking about it. I’m not actually saying that there should be a white history month or a men’s history month. Here’s the bottom line; as a society, we need to bring about the end of things that separate us.
Are you being sarcastic? EVERY MONTH is white and men’s history month. On the news-in the media-in our pop culture-there is CONSTANT reinforcement of white and male superiority. It’s entrenched into our culture. That’s the WHOLE POINT of why there’s months designated to specific groups that have-and CONTINUE-to face obscene amounts of oppression. And it’s NOT ENOUGH. There’s STILL little-to-NO appreciation for the suffering and history of people of color and women (especially women of color and women from other marginalized backgrounds, like the LGBQT* community or the disabled community, that we NEVER hear about). Yeah-we’ve been doing that thing where we DON’T talk about oppression and its history. And it’s CONTRIBUTING to the problem that is STILL going on. Privileged white kids want to “treat everyone the same,” but then turn around and talk about how they’re entitled to use the n-slur. Cause everyone’s equal, right? So everything’s equal-opportunity, now, right? That’s the logic fellow GROWN adult white people make all the time when they want to be racist without consequences. Those SAME kids that grew up with the “treat everyone the same!/colorblindness” mentality of the 90s-2000s are the SAME kids that tweeted how they couldn’t be empathetic to Amandla’s character, Rue, DYING in the Hunger Games. They could not be empathetic to a CHILD of color DYING. This is how ineffective the “treat everyone the same and ignore difference!” mentality is. Because it doesn’t do ANY of the bare minimum work of acknowledging white supremacy or white privilege. It’s like trying to ignore an open wound and hoping it goes away on its own without talking about it or taking medicine.
[TW: Stalking/Harassment]
Someone give this guy a motherfuckin’ certificate.
I reblog every time
this guy deserves more than a certificate
“In year 7 you were already uncomfortable around me, so I manipulated our teacher into putting us together for a project and when you didn’t want to come to my house, instead of meeting in a neutral place like a library, I did the entire project so that you’d owe me. In year 8 I gave you a bunch of gifts, a really inappropriate quantity, and continued to do so even after you made it abundantly clear that you didn’t want them. By the time the school disco rolled around in year 9, you knew me well enough to know that I wouldn’t take no for an answer, so you made up an excuse and left the whole dance to escape from me, and somehow it’s me and not you who got the worst end of that stick. In year 10, I bought you another grossly inappropriate gift that required you to spend time with me in order to use it, and when you misunderstood how I wanted you to use it I didn’t say anything but just stewed on that information. And now, in year 11, I’m going to publish my victim complex and the entire history of how I’ve stalked you over the past five years, comfortable in the knowledge that because I’m a man, I will be taken seriously and you’ll be vilified.”
She has every right to think boys are dicks. Here’s example number one. This post is really really gross. He shouldn’t get a certificate; he needs to get a restraining order.
YES THANK YOU
MOTHERFUCKING THANK YOU
Fuck dudes, for real.
THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT.

“I stalked you for five years and I’m being congratulated on doing so by many, many people on the internet.”
stole this off a post on Facebook, but i feel like tumblr needs to read this.
Morgan Freeman’s brilliant take on what happened yesterday :
“You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why.It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he’ll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.
CNN’s article says that if the body count “holds up”, this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer’s face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer’s identity? None that I’ve seen yet. Because they don’t sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you’ve just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man’s name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news.”This man right here, gets it like no one else does. We definetely need to overthink the construct of media and fame. Our world has wrong values, lack of common sense and compassion.
While I agree with the majority of this, I take issue with a few things.
To be sure, the media DOES abhorrently sensationalizes these events. One reporter asked the Chief Medical Examiner of the Connecticut shootings what the murdered children were wearing, to which he dismissively (and rightfully so) responded: “Cute stuff, what six year olds wear. What else?” I don’t need—nor do I WANT—to know what the victims were wearing. I can only imagine, and even that is too much for me. Furthermore, and more importantly, knowing irrelevant information like that does nothing to solve the problem; instead, it only seeks to feed people’s disgusting fascination with the details so that they can dramatize the mass murders as if it were a movie.
However, I think it’s a bad idea to solely blame the media and say that discourse about gun control is misplaced and inappropriate. Guns are a HUGE factor—let’s remember that the shooter could not have committed this atrocity without weapons that he obtained legally. Unfortunately, it’s not “too soon” to talk about gun control in light of the murders, as Fox News would say—it’s too late.
Furthermore, I think it’s irresponsible to direct our attention purely to mental health issues. To be sure, we need to reform the way we deal with mental illness in this country. A mother whose son is mentally ill responded to the recent Connecticut tragedy by poignantly noting that individual insurance plans do not cover her son’s needs, and that the only thing she could do to ensure she limited her thirteen-year-old son’s ability to commit violent crimes was to bring criminal charges against him.
However, in the same article, she referenced a Mother Jones study that found that of the 62 mass murders that have occurred since 1982, 44 of the murderers were white males and only one was a woman. If this were purely an issue of mental illness, the profiles of the shooters would undoubtedly be more diverse. Instead, what we have here is an issue of false sense of privilege, of inflated egotism. Let’s direct our attention to the recent murder of Jordan Russell Davis. The common denominator between his assailant and the Newtown terrorist was not mental illness—but legal gun owner and white male. Davis’s murderer was not identifiably “mentally ill” (a problematic term itself), but racist and hateful. To equate these things to “mental illness” is irresponsible, because it places the blame on something that cannot be prevented and, at best, poorly treated, when, in reality, this boils down to an issue of privilege and a warped sense of supremacy.
I’m not saying the Newtown murderer was not mentally ill; from the media coverage, it certainly appears that he had serious problems. But if this were the root cause of the issue, I don’t think these national terrorists would overwhelmingly be white males.
Bolded mine.
The Irritating Gentleman - Berthold Woltze
1874
I know that feel, Painting Lady.
My bus ride to and from work every day.
They never published the second picture, which was the one where she backhanded him in the fucking face for getting all up in her shit.
Oh great, good to know this has been a problem for HUNDREDS OF YEARS CAN WE PLEASE STOP DOING THIS ALREADY JUST FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE
Everyone is overlooking something very significant in this picture, that I saw in two seconds, that adds a layer of super slime to his whole awful attitude. “The Irritating Gentleman” is a politeness.
She’s wearing all black in 1874. Black gloves, hat, cloak, and dress. In public. The whole nine yards. That’s not a fashion choice or a gothic thing. Back then when people wore all black like that, they were in mourning for someone who died. No one did mourning like the Victorians, that shit was an art form to them.
Someone in her family has died—she could even be a young widow. No one’s accompanying her either. With the carpet bag? She’s traveling alone while still in deep mourning. Look at the closeup. She’s got tears in her eyes. She is upset, devastated in a way that one is only when someone has died. And the guy’s still bothering her, like her problems are flippant bullshit and she needs to just smile or pay attention to him because ladies are supposed to be pleasing for men no matter what shit they’re going through. That’s not a look of “what an ass.” That’s a look of devastation that even in her pain, she’s expected to give people like him focus. She’s not mad. She’s hurt. And to add insult to injury? Everyone would be able to tell. It was a clear sign and still is in ways that someone is mourning, to dress in black crepe like that. He would know why she’s wearing all black, and he’s still demanding her attention.
What an insufferable dick.
(cont. on-) I debated whether or not to share this story.
And then I debated whether or not to put it on Tumblr…but I decided it was important. Because in my own way, I can (unfortunately) point out exactly what is wrong with men when they don’t realize how hard it is to be a woman. How we do not have equal opportunities and freedoms in everyday life….
shit, now i feel bad for being a guy
isn’t that the whole point of this story? to remind guys of how awful they are?
because there were some assholes on a train
the concept that anytime somebody hits on you it’s because they’re a horrible person is a dumbass concept
at no point did she ever answer the question proposed, “what are you reading?”…if she had said calmly (as opposed to loudly and firmly) “i’m reading *blah blah title* would you please leave me to it” or something of the sort, it could’ve possibly gone better, instead of bluntly and loudly saying “LEAVE ME ALONE” as if they were groping her….and even if that didn’t work, and they still acted like pricks…why should i feel bad for what THEY did? should i apologize and accept that my life is rainbows and excellence because i have a dick?
so yeah, those teenagers were assholes, and the bicycle guy was a psychopath…sounds like your train runs through a shitty neighborhood…doesn’t mean i should loathe myself
———
No, see…
This is the one time you don’t get to make it all about you.
This is where you say, “Wow, I can’t possibly understand what you’re going through, but I’m sorry you had to experience that, and now I have a better perspective on what women face and will never do that to a woman.”
Way to miss the point.
The point is that we have no fucking idea if the person we say, “No thank you,” or, “I’d like to be left alone, please,” to is going to be a guy that says, “Oh, sure. Sorry for bothering you!” and steps away kindly or the kind that gets in our faces and threatens us screams at us. And most of the time, it’s not worth it to take that risk.
We have to treat everyone like the latter because if we don’t, and we’re caught off guard, then whatever happens to us is always our fault. If we’re not nice, we’re bitches. If we’re too nice, we’re asking for whatever we get.
Women don’t owe you anything, least of all an apology. We don’t owe you the time of day, we don’t owe you a conversation, we don’t owe you an explanation.
If you read a story like that and all you can say is, “Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me for being male!” then you’re part of the fucking problem.Exactly.
See, I am a female and I have a problem with this.
It is feminists like you that generalise all males into one group. Not all males are the same. That person could have generally been interested in the book being read. Females as a whole do NOT have to be defensive 24/7. NOT every guy out there is an ass hole. NOT every single guy is going to stand there and abuse you or harass you or grope you. How about being nice for a change instead of making out that horrible things will happen if you are nice to a male or if you let a male ‘put one over you’.
Ease up and stop being so damn ‘hard done by’.
No one has a right to anyone’s time, space, or attention. The sooner people stop blaming victims for being human & not being a walking nursemaid for stranger’s egos the better. What is wrong with you people that you think women don’t have a right to set boundaries even if other people don’t like them?
Story of my life: I debated whether or not to share this story.
And then I debated whether or not to put it on Tumblr…but I decided it was important. Because in my own way, I can (unfortunately) point out exactly what is wrong with men when they don’t realize how hard it is to be a woman. How we do not have equal opportunities and freedoms in…
This kinda pissed me off. I live in LA and have been taking the metro since I was in 2nd grade. I’m now in my 3rd year of college. Yes men have invaded my personal space. Yes. It is annoying. But I’ve learned you never know what someone is going through. You can’t just be a bitch because you’re a “pretty girl” who just wants to read a book. Some men do actually just want to have a chat with a pretty girl.. Not all men want to rape you.. Don’t take the bus with a million other commuters.. (more than half men) if you don’t want to be spoken to.. Old peoplr are just as annoying but you don’t go into paralyzingly fear when they approach…
It’s precisely BECAUSE we never know what’s going on with someone that we MUST be so careful. No, not everyone is a rapist. But ANYONE might be. If she hadn’t said to leave her alone then, but had told him what she was reading, but then wouldn’t talk to him further, that guy would still have freaked out. He would have freaked out at WHATEVER point she told him no — and if she’d been “nice” and talked to himwhen she didn’t want to, and then said no when he wanted to, say, walk her home, or walk into her house with her, then what? Because a man who will ignore a woman when she says no, she doesn’t want to talk to him is a lot more likely to ignore a woman when she says no, she doesn’t want to have sex with him.
No one owes their time or attention to anyone. When you insist that a woman should allow a man to take up her time and attention even when she doesn’t want to, you are being a part of rape culture, and a part of the problem. It’s misogynist as fuck. Stop it.
You don’t know him. You don’t know if he would of still freaked out. She could of simply said, “I’ve had a long day and i don’t want to be bothered”. Instead of bitch facing and telling him to leave her alone as if he had already done something.. I’m surely apart of no ones “rape culture”.. So I have no clue what the fuck you’re saying. No you dont HAVE to talk to a man because he is talking to you but there is a way to say things to PEOPLE, him being a man is no fucking excuse, he was still a person. If he wanted to knock her upside the head and rape her or be in anyway inappropriate he didn’t have to ask what she was reading he could of simply done it.
I don’t need to know him. His response was an absolutely classic entitled response. He thought he was entitled to her time and attention, and when she wouldn’t give it to him, he reacted badly.
Rape culture is all of the ideas and attitudes in a culture that contribute to rape being tolerated. Your words arepreciselyone of those things, so you are absolutely a part of rape culture. The fact that you don’t know what I’m talking about is yet another indicator that you are regularly participating in rape culture. Go educate yourself.
And it’s not being a “bitch” to refuse to give your time and attention to someone when you don’t want to. Victim blaming’s a pretty fucking awful thing to do, and that’s just what you’re doing by saying that that man’s response is his victim’s fault. It’s no one’s but his own.
….i said bitch facing. I didnt call her a bitch. I didnt say I didnt know what rape culture was I said i didnt know why you were implying that I was apart of it. Selective reading. Selective understanding. I haven’t blamed her, I havent blamed anyone.. I’m not saying his behaviour was okay. I said that there is a way to speak to people. Who cares if he is a man.. His reaction was classic entitled response? Who are you to say what classic is. Who’s to say if it was a guy reading a book he wouldnt have asked.. who’s to say if the guy reacted in the same manner he wouldnt have still reacted the same… YOU DONT KNOW.
Selective reading yourself.You are still being a part of the problem.She refused to give him her time and attention, andyou are fucking focusing on thatinstead of talking about what’s actually wrong here. You’re too busy telling her how she should act to talk about the real problem, which is his behavior. This very much contributing to rape culture in an entirely classic fashion, and if you don’t fucking understand that, then you need to educate yourself. Talking about what the victim should have done instead is part of victim-blaming.
And, actually, because I have fucking educated myself, I know what the fuck a classic entitled response is and that was it.Go do your homework if you want to talk about these topics.
Further, Justyyisme: Consider WHY you’re pissed off by this. YOU have decided how YOU want to behave in public because you feel that it’s ‘correct behaviour’.
Good for you.
But there is no verbal response that the OP could have given that would make the bike dude’s response ok. I don’t care if she’d responded to “Hey, what are you reading” by silently flipping him off or saying “Fuck off, assface, ain’t got time for your shit today.” In any functional society, THOSE THINGS WOULD BE SAFE FOR HER TO DO. They’d be rude, yes, but they wouldn’t be unsafe. This isn’t about ‘annoying’. This is about the cultural presumption that -people- are entitled to bother -women- and that it’s somehow ok to respond negatively to a woman who isn’t responding to you. That women (and yes, it is a cultural message specifically aimed at women) are required to be polite and cheerful and willing to speak to anyone who wants to speak to them at any time.
Stop and think about why you find the response “Please leave me alone” as evidence of ‘Being a bitch”
Stop and think about why you think that someone doesn’t have the right to decide to be a bitch, and shouldn’t be able to do so safely.
Denying that you’re part of rape culture is silly shit. You’re breathing the same poison air as the rest of us. When you say that women should check themselves and be sweetness and light and always be polite to every guy who approaches them, and imply that that will keep them safe? That’s pure uncut rape culture talking.
And a very special FUCK YOU for this line:
“Don’t take the bus with a million other commuters.. (more than half men) if you don’t want to be spoken to..”
Yo, privilegestain: How the fuck else you gonna get around the city? Folks don’t always take transit because they want the cheerful ambiance of chatty co-passengers. They do so because they need to get from point A to point B. Existing in public is NOT an open invitation to conversation from anyone at any time.

But Wait. Wait. I feel like I am SERIOUSLY missing a clue here. I can’t even finish reading other replies to this, cause I am stuck on this.
This kinda pissed me off. I live in LA and have been taking the metro since I was in 2nd grade. I’m now in my 3rd year of college. Yes men have invaded my personal space. Yes. It is annoying. But I’ve learned you never know what someone is going through. You can’t just be a bitch because you’re a “pretty girl” who just wants to read a book.

Bold is mine. This person has ‘learned’ that… ”you never know what someone is going through” but somehow, SOMEHOW that does NOT apply to women minding their own business? OTHER PEOPLE are NOT to consider WHAT ELSE THOSE WOMEN might have been through? And how any approach might affect THEM?
Is it something in the water that person has been drinking that I’ve not? Cause I feel like I’m missing a point here. How is it basic respect for personal needs is A OK for men, but somehow. SOMEHOW that does not apply to women. Somehow SOME FREAKING HOW, a man’s need to ‘speak to a pretty girl’ trumps what the fuck ever that woman or girl has gone through in the past day, week, month, quarter year, half year, year, past two years and more? Whatever negative experiences she’s facing, whatever stress is on her mind, whatever privacy and quiet and peace SHE might want in the moment. How she might feel about strangers approaching her, with their inquisitive eyes, and smells and attempts to get close.
What the hell part of ‘I am sitting on public transport’ equals ‘I am available for your attention’ in the social contract WITHOUT misogyny, rape culture, male privilege and entitlement?
Cannot even. Cannot. Even.
You know why that man got upset? You know why? Because a woman told him straight up, she was as entitled to her own space and her own time as he FELT he was entitled to. And she picked herself over him. Seriously all that mumbling about his ‘mother’? A woman, who undoubtedly COULD tell him no, at least for a little while? Does not AT ALL SUPRISE ME.
But it seems to surprise you JUSTYYISME.
SHE DOESN’T OWE THAT BIKE ASSHOLE FUCKING SHIT! HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BOTHERED HER! FUCK OFF WITH THAT MALE ENTITLEMENT RIGHT NOW.
As Americans, we constantly talk about the supposed danger that black boys pose in the society. When black boys commit crimes, it is an indictment of the entire demographic of black boys in the country. But we don’t talk about the danger white boys pose. And when they commit heinous acts, which is pretty regularly, we don’t cast aspersions on the entire demographic. We treat their actions as individual, as exceptions, even when the acts are remarkably consistent.
And god forbid we talk about how boys are socialized and how strict patriarchal and hypermasculine demands and violent forms of media indoctrination turn our boys and men, whatever their color, into walking war zones.

From the Bad Astronomer…
The most common way for a black hole to form is in the core of a massive star. The core runs out of fuel, and collapses. This sets off a shockwave, blowing up outer layers of the star, causing a supernova. So the star’s heart collapses while the rest of it explodes outwards.
As the core collapses, its gravity increases. At some point, if the core is massive enough (about 3 times the mass of the Sun), the gravity gets so strong that right at the surface of the collapsing core the escape velocity increases to the speed of light. That means that nothing can escape the gravity of this object, not even light. So it’s black.
As for the second part… it’s possible that you wanted that girl and are projecting douchebag-ness on this other guy because you do not have the emotional capacity to accept that she chose him over you.
Bolin is the cartoon embodiement of every nice guy you’ve ever turned down. Please please please stop reblogging photosets of him saying “omg Bolin is so perfect” and “omg be real” because if he was real you’d shit on his soul just like Korra did..
As much as I want to respond with a hilariously sarcastic gif, I feel the need to clarify.
Bolin is a real, honest to god nice human being. Not a Nice Guy. He is nice to Korra because they are friends, and because he cares about her. Not because he thinks it will endear him to her, and not because he thinks it will make her owe him something. He’s not trying to coerce Korra into “falling for him” by being charming. He’s just legitimately a sweet, kind, caring person who appreciates a badass woman who saved his butt, rather than an emasculated, passive-aggressive d-bag.
So for the love of the Lion Turtle, do not compare one of the few really well-rounded and likeable men in Korra to a “Nice Guy”
correct, yes.
and the main difference, the most noticeable one, anyway, is his reaction. he cried. he felt horrible. he complained to his brother. he was angry.
but he did NOT get mad at Korra. he did NOT call her eveyrhing but her name. he did NOT behave like he was owed her heart just because he wanted it. he did NOT immediately write her off as evil, cruel or bitchy. he just accepted that she didn’t return his affection, and recognized that it was her right not to do so.
and this is what OP doesn’t get about being a nice guy, and this post (particularly that last sentiment) is why OP has earned every single one of those gifs.
Bolin? A ‘Nice Guy’? Well, isn’t that adorable?

danceswithfaeriesunderthemooon:
“Good morning New York. I’m sorry to bother you. I’m not hungry. I do not want food or money, I just need a little support. I got dumped last week and I’m trying to give her space but I can’t do nothing. If you have any words of advice for me, a quote that resonates with you or a story about second chances, please raise your hand and I’ll come to you. I have sharpie markers and I’ll stay as long as it takes.”
i still think this is creepyThis is really creepy, i agree.
She dumped you bro, move on.
Yeah this is fucked up. No, just no. Get the fuck over it. This almost feels stalker-y. There’s this creeptastic possessive vibe coming from this. Oh the entitlement and objectification of women. Never ceases to repulse me.
that some folks still do not get that it’s okay to be justifiably heartbroken and angry* when you’ve been turned down, and that it’s possible to feel those things without:
- claiming a vendetta against all women, or
- harassing the one who didn’t want you, or
- calling the one who didn’t want you everything but her name because she decided you were not the one, or
- assuming that she owed you her body/time/whatever because your new last name is Entitled To Dat Ass
you can be sad and disappointed without being an asshole. if you are doing one or any combination of the above listed (feel free to add anything i’ve missed) after you have been turned down, you are not a nice guy, you are a Nice Guy™, and Nice Guys™ don’t get “friendzoned,” because they are not friends in the first place.
this is apparently a hot issue of contention on tumblr nowadays, and i figure i would chime in with my two cents
what is the first thing you notice about this picture?
if you guessed huge, impossibly muscular man then you are correct!
you see all these feminazis complaining about “boo hoo, video games show too much tits and ass and the women are too sexualized!!!”
well clearly the men are sexualized too, look at how huge this guy’s shoulders are, it’s freakin impossible to get that big
at least women can get breast and butt implants in order to achieve the standards of hotness set forth by video games. what can us men do?
i have worked out 5x a week for the past month and i have seen 0 results. and there is no such thing as a muscle implant. this is bullshit
i demand that game developers make more accurate portrayals of men in video games. not all of us are huge muscle bound freaks. all women have tits and ass (and a vagina).
it would sure be nice to see a skinny dude, maybe even one suffering from acne in a video game as opposed to these captain america lookalikes
but it will never happen because misandry is alive and well in the world, and feminists choose to deny it because they don’t own dictionaries
You’re a fucking idiot that has no idea what women find sexually attractive. Hyper-masculine men in media are the product of male desire for power. Women must be small, weak, have large tits and asses, and waiting to be conquered by the big powerful man. Fuck off.
Also fuck you, not all women have a vagina. I’m a woman and I have a penis you fuckwit
To add on to what socialistexan said, you DO realize who mostly creates video games and runs companies that put out video games, right? MEN, you fucking jerkoff. It’s not a giant “misandry” (my computer doesn’t even recognize that as a word!) conspiracy if you guys are the ones who’re putting this shit out YOURSELVES. It’s MISOGYNY (oh look, my computer recognizes that as a word) when companies run primarily up of men decide to portray women one way and refuse to listen to actual women on how we’d like that changed. socialistexan is exactly right in that you guys are creating these images for yourselves, as you’d wish to be seen so you CHOOSE to give yourself giant hulking muscles to appear strong. Perhaps that’s the problem that’s shaped your whole world view as well. You are also small and wish inside that you were giant and strong. And so you too like to take it out on other people that you make weaker inside your head.
It’s the male gaze for male escapism for MEN CREATED and MANUFACTURED by…*drumroll*….MEN.
you’re not the only one who’s frickin’ speechless
men are dumb as fuck holy mother of god
welp
omfg kill me
im throwing up this shit makes me sooo mad omfg i h8 everyone. theres sooo much misandry in games that why the characters up there headline their own games and women are only side characters. and in the case of mass effect you can choose your character but the male shepard (the DEFAULT shepard) is on the cover of all three games. the third one included the female shep cover but it was on the other side. i can write a whole frickin book on misogyny in video games culture… idk maybe i will
^^^^^^^ THEY’RE ARE THE FUCKING FRONT RUNNERS. THE VIDEO GAMES ARE MOSTLY WRITTEN BY/PRODUCED BY/DIRECTED BY/CREATED BY FUCKING MEN. THEY ARE ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES IN THE ENTIRE MEDIUM!!! IT’S A MALE FANTASY BUILT FOR THE MALE GAZE FOR MALE ESCAPISM. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT MISANDRY?!! MISANDRY ISN’T EVEN A THING! THERE’S NO INSTITUTION THAT OPPRESSES MEN.

Someone give this guy a motherfuckin’ certificate.
I reblog every time
this guy deserves more than a certificate
“In year 7 you were already uncomfortable around me, so I manipulated our teacher into putting us together for a project and when you didn’t want to come to my house, instead of meeting in a neutral place like a library, I did the entire project so that you’d owe me. In year 8 I gave you a bunch of gifts, a really inappropriate quantity, and continued to do so even after you made it abundantly clear that you didn’t want them. By the time the school disco rolled around in year 9, you knew me well enough to know that I wouldn’t take no for an answer, so you made up an excuse and left the whole dance to escape from me, and somehow it’s me and not you who got the worst end of that stick. In year 10, I bought you another grossly inappropriate gift that required you to spend time with me in order to use it, and when you misunderstood how I wanted you to use it I didn’t say anything but just stewed on that information. And now, in year 11, I’m going to publish my victim complex and the entire history of how I’ve stalked you over the past five years, comfortable in the knowledge that because I’m a man, I will be taken seriously and you’ll be vilified.”

YES THANK YOU
MOTHERFUCKING THANK YOU
Fuck dudes, for real.
