  1. They aren’t even writing female characters. They just describe cartoon female bodies. In fact, you should hire a cartoonist to draw these descriptions exactly as written 😅

  2. I had to block brett cooper because I kept getting her disgusting videos recommended too me 😭 the amount of transphobia even her 2 million subscribers are full of raging homophobs that have no reasoning at all, it's just baffling to think how shes profiting off of degrading others, her channel is one cluster hate train and YouTube seems not to care at all 🙄🙄

  3. I get so sick of trying to explain why I gave up on a book that a friend had recommended when the women are just written really badly. They always want me to explain it to them. I just want to read a good novel.

  4. 3:45 okay but even from a sexist perspective wouldn't s woman's face be useful for blowjobs? Like there's countless reasons why "the magnificent uselessness of a women's face" is just factually wrong but, even if you are sexist think women are inferior and all that bullshit that's one use that you can acknowledge.

  5. "I want to rip that fringe off your jacket." It didn't work. NO SHIT. I bet she was thinking something along the lines of "DUDE, DO YOUKNOW HOW MUCH THIS JACKET COST? I bet you're one of those jerks who thinks women should throw their bras up on stage at concerts." No wonder she walked away.

  6. You are right! It is not wrong to sexualize a man or a woman in a story but it has to make sense within the story itself. I don't mind a character in a movie being some sort of LGBT+ character but it has to make sense within the story. I am Bi myself but still hate characters that are just made to be gay or whatever just because it has to somehow be a statement, there needs to be a reason or some sort of backstory to make it legitimate, otherwise you are just rambling. Some of these toxic people ask me; Why cant the joker be acted by a black man? Well, why cant black panter be played by a white man?

  7. i think the painted over tarantula comment is a reference to some people thinking the Brazilian wandering spider looks like a vagina when doing a threat display, Brazilian wandering spiders arent actually tarantulas, but they bear resemblance

  8. Posts like these make me, as a female writer, uncomfortable with the idea of mentioning a female character's boobs, even in a context where it wouldn't be totally out of place.
