what women are ridiculed for when drawing men: ‘tumblr nose’, tall and wearing a bowtie, flower crowns
male artists drawing women:
I’m male, but I usually draw female characters petite and with very small breasts. I also draw them in a variety of body types, from skinny to fat to curvaceous to slim.
C…congrats
I was trying to prove a point that not all men draw women in the same way. So stop being such a cynical bitch.
it’s almost incredible the lack of self-awareness that allows someone to say with complete certainty “not all men, you cynical bitch”
Even future US Presidents need to be PROUD of their Manhood.
DROP that DAMN TOWEL Kennedy!
Be PROUD to be a Man.
Be PROUD of your Man Muscle, Cock and Balls!
Be PROUD of your nude Manliness!
Train and fight!
Love your nude Manliness!

I deadass thought warriormale had deleted because of all you weirdos sending him asks about Leninism or whatever, and then he reemerges on my dash with this post that is so powerful and raw it nearly obliterated me on sight.
“Drop the damn towel Kennedy” may be the best sentence I ever read in my entire life and not even Dostoyevsky could’ve come up with a better one.
a LOT of slasher flicks from the 70s and 80s strike me as sexually violent revenge fantasies against women’s growing independence at the time tbh
Siskel and Ebert beat you to it in 1980…. Part One
Part Two
I had also added in another chain that a lot of it is also a violent revenge fantasy and/or demonization of LGBT people as a backlash against the growing visibility of the LGBT community at the time. Look at how many killers and victims are horrible stereotypes meant to demonize LGBT people, and make the audience feel good when they get ripped up
Adding on also, in addition to the above, 80s horror was particularly cruel to people with disabilities, with “deformities”, missing limbs, etc. hyped up for shock value and used as shorthand and a bit of coded language. Horror is still a cruel and rather bigoted genre alas, but I feel it’s improving slowly.
As a closing aide, the original point really brings to bear how revolutionary it kinda was to make a movie like Alien and a character like Ellen Ripley.
honestly the funniest thing about the lord of the rings is how gandalf is literally a minor god sent to middle-earth by The Big Man Himself and yet literally nobody apart from the elves seems to recognise this or take him seriously
like yeah gandalf is pretty grumpy most of the time but how would YOU
feel if you were the fantasy equivalent of an angel and a bunch of
people who only come up to your knee were just like “oh fuck it’s that
spooky old wizard” every time you showed up for a friend’s birthday
