on mari ibarra's death as pit girl and shauna's aggression towards mari

i understand the whole "she's supposed to be spiraling, let women be evil" argument in defense of shauna, i understand that yellowjackets has been a dark and gory show from the get go, and i understand that mari's death/sacrifice was necessary. but when you are releasing media into the world, you are sending out a message. every choice made in a piece of media is intentional.

mari was stripped of her clothes and dignity, dragged naked through the snow, hung upside down, carved, scalped, cooked, and served as food to the team, with shauna demanding to wear mari's hair as a trophy.

mari was also one of the best written characters on the show, taking her from an annoying jv side character to an important part of the story (her last name reveal i cheered so loud). she never once took shauna's bs and made it clear from the start that she was just the decoy. she was loved by all her friends and teammates, and it's evident when you realize that the hunt was a ploy to keep shauna distracted from nat's venture to get help, and that none of the yellowjackets actually wanted to hunt mari. mari's sacrifice for the sake of the team (despite her pulling the queen card being an accident) was one last act of defiance in the face of shauna's tyranny and the dictatorship that came with her reign.

idgaf about the fact that all the victims have to be naked to be cooked and butchered, and i don't care that shauna was seen using hannah's old hair as a fidget toy in ep 09 to defend the scalping, every choice made with mari's slaughter was an intentional one, and it leaves such a bad taste when you view it in the context of how every other woc in the show was treated.

i don't know what the writers were plotting in the writer's room, but there were better ways to handle mari's death/slaughter.

nobody wants to say it but the obsession with male pregnancy on this site is often incredibly misogynistic and transphobic. why do you think it's funny/cute/quirky for a man to be pregnant and why are you associating feminine qualities to a man who can become pregnant. also why are you treating pregnancy as somehow inherently degrading. answer all of this quickly without getting bioessentialist or misogynistic

I don’t talk about disability stuff much on here, but I don’t see nearly enough positivity about it. You’re still hot to me if you’re disabled. There is nothing unattractive about being disabled, no matter what kind. People with facial or limb differences, people with scars, people with ostomies or catheters, people with weak bladders, people who need to use a cane, wheelchair or other mobility aid, people who have limited movement or paralysis, people with chronic illnesses or pain, people with blindness or missing eyes, people who can’t exert themselves much during sex, I love you all so so much and nothing about you is unattractive 🖤

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.
