shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers
fellow russian radfem on tumblr? where are you hiding? 🥺
regarding the 'you deserve it' shit. i feel ya. had to read the same about russia (i'm russian). usamerican liberals LOOOOOOVED to shit on us for all the misfortunes of russian citizens that have come since the war. no, i'm not diminishing the sufferings of ukrainians, no way. i'm saying that, like, some life-saving medicine is no longer available in russia bc of the sanctions, but we deseeeeerve it cause we eleeeected the guy (yeah, the fair and just elections under dictatorship and decades-long assassination of the opposition). makes my fucking blood boil.
💯
Social media makes people really bold and it makes people think in black and white. They think every American voted for Trump, all Russians want Ukrainians to suffer, etc. The real world isn’t like that.
The domination of male-coded language.
Especially in the 2010’s, everyone called each other “bro” and “dude”. I’m sure it even happened before this timeframe. Doesn’t matter who is who, what is what. You called everyone and everything “Bro” “Bruh” “Dude” “Man”.
Not many complained. Actually, the expression was shared back. Another way of saying homie. Everyone said it. Everyone accepted it.
Even till this day, for the most part, it is a part of our daily language. It’s become common language, usually to specify friendliness and common ground.
But why doesn’t this happen with female-coded language?
“Girl” “Girlypop” “Bestie”. While I’ll admit, Bestie is not technically female coded, a lot of women do use this word.
I think about how so many people, especially men, get annoyed or upset when called “Girl”. Even “Bestie”. I see men talk about it on Social Media, about how much they hate getting called that. They get annoyed. It’s even come to a point, it is seen as transphobic, we cannot call people Girly Pop or Girl because it can offend someone who is trans identifying.
People come to the defense “well not everyone feels comfortable with that” “not everyone identifies as female”. But only when people are offended by the female-coded terms.
Where is the same energy with women getting offended by being called Bro and Dude? During the 2010’s Giant SJW Bash, I’ve seen women come out that they hated being called Bro and Dude. And nobody had that same logic. They told these women, get over it. Everyone gets called Dude & Bro. It’s normal. It’s a good thing.
The normalization that being male is gender neutrality.
Being called Dude, Bro, Man— it’s ok. Even if you don’t like it. Even if you’re not a man. You should be lucky to be seen as a fellow…man…

Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
