Reblogging because I mentioned this study in a post the other day and someone reblogged & replied insinuating that I’d made it up, but I didn’t have the citation on hand right then. As I said then: rape culture is what teaches rapists that they aren’t rapists.
^ bolded for emphasis
The gross thing with this is though it’s completely disregarding the fact that there are female rapists. They aren’t saying “Male rapists” they’re saying “Rapists” insinuating that all rapists are men. And it’s fucking gross because 40% of all rapists are women.
They /are/ saying male rapists? They are only talking about men in these statistics - so they’ll only be talking about male rapists. 1882 men were questioned. 120 men answered that they have raped people.
At no point are they just saying that only men are rapists - this infograph is only /looking/ at male rapists.
If it had been asking 1882 people (gender non-specified) and then went on to say that 120 men answered that they have raped people. And if the infograph had disregarded information they had collected from other genders - then you could call this “gross”, because that is a misrepresentation of information and is also trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes.
You’re getting digusted by the presentation of specific information that is not skewered or insinuating anything beyond the fact that out of 1882 men - 120 men had raped people.
“BUT IT’S EXCUSABLE BECAUSE THEY’RE ACTUALLY REALLY NICE TO SOME PEOPLE OKAY”
they murdered people
“UM HELLO???? THEIR DAD/THEIR EX/THEIR DOG/THEIR ____ WAS MEAN TO THEM????? SO????? THEY FELT UPSET?”
they repeatedly delighted in the suffering of others
“THEY REMIND ME OF MYSELF OH MY GOD THEY ARE REALLY SWEET AND CUTE AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM YOU DON’T LIKE ME AND THAT CAN BE REALLY OFFENSIVE AND EVEN TRIGGERING????”
i like the same character
“UH NO??? BECAUSE YOU’RE SHITTING ALL OVER THEM???”
how is my stating what they did canonically and how awful it is shitting on them
“BECAUSE YOU AREN’T IGNORING IT COMPLETELY AND THEN DRAWING THEM BEING ADORABLE AND CUTE LIKE THEY TOTALLY ARE”
protip:
you are not a fan of a villain
if you don’t allow the villain to even be a villain
Arya Stark is a really good character but people glorifying her for being Tougher Than Her Sister kind of miss the point that She’s A Fucking Child Soldier and carries a fucking immense amount of emotional trauma and that this toughness in fact has had some pretty horrifying effects on her mental well-being.
im in one of those periods in my life where i cant focus on anything i cant finish an assignment i cant listen to one song for more than 5 seconds i cant sit through a tv show episode i cant finish a book i cant write a story
all i can do is stare blankly at the wall and wish i had something to do but everything i could do or want to do is just supremely unsatisfying
SOMEONE PUT IT IN WORDS THANKS YOU
Hey kids this is a symptom of depression
yeah, -a- symptom. as in one of many. you have to meet a certain number of symptoms to properly be diagnosed with depression, and someone without depression can still experience these symptoms.
if you find that you experience this and more symptoms of depression, and it is impacting your life, then it might be good to speak with a professional.
that said, people can experience things like this and not be depressed. it’s perfectly normal, so there’s no need to panic.
did you know you can’t “POP your cherry”? In this video i talk about:
what the hymen really is how this myth is some sexist bullshit and how to deal with your hymen the 1st time you have sex.
<3
a girl tried to argue with me about this and so I think I’m gonna show her this video to prove my point. I swear sooo many girls aren’t sexually educated well enough and it’s sad
“i want an anime with a visibly disabled character!!!”
“no, a visibly disabled POC!!! and make them a woman!! and dealing with extreme poverty and homelessness!”
“well, what about a POC with severe mental and emotional trauma? and a narrative about the horrors of war and imperialism, and race supremacy!!”
“give me a woman who is as strong as the men in the power structure of her society!!! but don’t sexualize her!!!”
“give me an anime with a cast that’s diverse in terms of gender representation!!!!”
“show me the most successful anime of the past 30 years…that’s been written by a WOMAN!!!!”
“give me an anime with a cast of different races and religions!!! and show me a narrative that includes the way imperialistic white-dominated power structures oppress and devastate minority groups based on racism and destructive actions of war!!”
“give me an anime with character development and intense personal narratives!!”
“strong female characters and a narrative without sexism!!!”
“the best anime of the past twenty years!!!!! if not one of the top animes of all time!!!!!!”
