I was thinking of making a photoset of all of my favourite female characters, but like I don’t think anybody would empathize with my choices like I’d have Ellie Sattler and a couple of moderately obscure anime characters and Cordelia Chase instead of Buffy or Willow and it’d just be all over the place and niche and then I’d include a quote from an obscure feminist fantasy...

owliish: Why can’t people realize that Mr. Sterling and Ms. Sarkeesian talk about the same problems with sexism in gaming, but do so in at different angles.  And that both are greatly contributing to the general understanding of how said sexism works? And that neither of them “suck” at what they’re doing? Because I’m getting real tired of the Anti-Sarkeesian comments on his videos. They’re...

woops completely reversed like 88% of the gender and sexuality shit between the earthlings and starlings no biggie. [[MORE]] Well, mainly, I realized that the model of marriage/household worked way better if it were for the starlings based on my ideas for the characters and generally building an oppressive empire, plus it reinforces the sort of layered oppressions of the world. So, basically,...

I’m like constantly dancing the line between my love of retro-futuristic, wildly out-of-date and unrealistic mid-1900s science fiction and my equally powerful love of hard science fiction that updates the science to match the latest research and has like no aesthetic just science and mostly I just want to find a nice balance for #pettitoes. :/

*muffled screams* only ninety two days to go… [[MORE]] My brother. My brother and I have never been super close, but we got along. We both liked video games, he’d watch comic book movies with me, it was okay. But we were never friends, not really. A year in college has changed him a lot, and absolutely none of those changes have improved our relationship. Quite the opposite, really....

Disney Launches Quinceanera Dresses for Latinas  →
inriri: mcgarrygirl78: inriri: Can Disney stop fucking trying to profit off of latin@s??? To be fair, or fucked up (however you choose to look at it), Disney tries to profit from everybody. Unsurprising. They just need to stop. Also, they range in price from $500 to $1,000.

So about the so-called lack of boy stuff in YA
