principles:

people have said this before but just. to reiterate. ‘representation matters’ is the antithesis of ‘fiction doesnt affect reality’. you can’t claim both. 

if you agree that positive representation (for example, well written, humanized gay characters) can normalize and help gay teenagers, then you inherently have to also accept that negative representation (for example, accepted and sympathetic pedophile characters) can normalize pedophilia to people. this is the same vein of the same critical thought. you can’t claim that representation matters if you also believe that someone writing ‘non con’ adult / child porn is fine since its fictional.

Romantic comedies are supposed to marked to (het) women as a target demographic and men act like these movies represent our natural fantasies, and still somehow ugly ass dudes like Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen end up starring in them as romantic interests and the point of the plot ends up being how this woman who looks like a supermodel and works some fancy job learns how to settle for a “charming” loser.

Still more like a male fantasy than a female one.

women are most attractive when they’re not even thinking abt it. and i don’t mean that in a “girls look better without makeup” way so much as a “i love seeing girls be their natural selves where they forget the pressure of perfection placed on women” way.

i love the goofing off double chins and the too-loud near-obnoxious laughter, the gruff and scratchy voice in the morning when they’re too tired to bother with sounding soft, and the not brushing their hair bc they can’t be bothered to deal with and what are you going to do about it anyway?

i love the boldness of women who forget that they have been told to be delicate.

this post radiates pure and powerful lesbian energies
