THIS POST EXISTS, THANK. Now I can link it everywhere in my rage.
from the ancient Celtic for “manipulative douchebag”)
This truth tea.
So, “The Mother” lived long enough to pop out and mostly raise the kids Robin couldn’t and didn’t want to give him and then had the grace to die of OTP-block-itis
I AM A MOTHERFUCKING HULKING TOWER OF RAGE.
I completely agree that HIMYM is more revolting than the likes of GoT or Supernatural could even hope to be. At least those shows are not claiming to be normative.
And L O L - there was once a time I DIDN’T hate Ted?? I WILL LAUGH ABOUT THIS FOR NINE MILLION YEARS.
I don’t even have the energy to be mad about the total assassination of Barney - the disgusting insult to Robin and the mother of his child aside - but yep, his character arc was yet another sacrificed at the altar of Ted Mosby.
HIMYM is basically America's most popular romcom, running for 80 hours of screen time and nearly a decade of cultural influence, and it both reveals and reinforces a horrifying cultural prioritization of men's desires over women's identities, with a smile on its face and a song in its heart.
In one.
IMMA TRACK THIS POST AND BATHE IN THE RAGE PARTY. YOU, I LIKE.
I didn't even care enough to be furious, THANK R'HLLOR BECAUSE THIS WAS THE WORST. I would be so hurt if I had cared.

hahaha, yeah. "We have an organic and interesting connection between two fan favorite characters, KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE." And so Barney had to be as awful as possible to make the HORRIBLE Ted/Robin thing work. UGH.
