Let us fight for a new world, a decent world

[giallarhorn]

I need to figure out something to do with Wednesday, because I'm too exhausted by the time I get out of class to do anything else except stare listlessly. I haven't actually left the lab yet because I can't muster up the energy to make myself get up- I'm seriously almost falling asleep, and it's not even 12 yet. What is this blasphemy. I also

"Guys who do this and claim to be “nice guys” are the worst misogynists because of their sense of entitlement toward a woman."

OH MY GOD THIS. FREAKING THIS.

Whenever a guy says he is a "nice guy" my bullshit meter instantly goes to eleven. That's not to say that genuine guys who are nice don't exist, but 99% of men who claim to be a "Nice Guy" are just the opposite. Ignorant and the BAWWW WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE MENNNNZ type, aka misogynistic turds.

Friendzone makes me eyeroll so hard.

I lack the ability to be more coherent at the moment, save to say: word to that first tumblr article. WORD.

GIBBS' FREE ENERGY OH GOD I AM GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES.

Also, meme. Uh. UH

Choose between John in the puffy blue suit at the crime scene in ASiP, or John in his Christmas jumper. XD

The idea of the 'Nice Guy' really really pisses me off to no extent. The base idea of being entitled to something like a relationship or sexual favors or etc for being nice or just showing basic decency to a girl just shows how entitled the guy feels. Girls can be nice to other girls, guys can be polite to other guys, girls must be nice to guys or risked being called a heartless and cold bitch, and if a guy is to go through ALL THAT EFFORT to just be nice and kind to a girl, she had better be willing to sleep with him. Cause gosh, no right minded guy is going to talk or hang out with a girl unless he's wanting to sleep with her, cause if he doesn't, there must be something wrong with the guy, or the girl just isn't attractive enough. Because you know, there's never been girls who are nice and single but oh wait! They just don't fit the nice guy's bill, because there's no such thing as a double standard. Ever.

/slight rant

tl;dr Nice guys aka men with a sense of entitlement regarding women piss me off so much for multiple reasons

Choose between REDVERSE AND BLUEVERSE. BAM.

Also let me just say I really appreciate all your, uh...sympathetic blogging. I think you're the only self-identifying male feminist I know that sounds like he believes what he says. WORTH SO MUCH, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. ♥♥♥

[giallarhorn]

Amber!Redverse/Blueverse, or PreAmber!Redverse/Blueverse? that is totally relevant and not a copout

Sounds like he believes what he says? I'm just slightly offended that you don't think that I believe what I say :P I think that a lot of supposed male feminists tend think that being feminists is comprised of just letting a woman feel empowered, or having a 'strong' female character, ie. Moffat, and don't think much of it beyond that and then just continue to treat women without respect, or anything like that- they don't even think of it as behavior that is misogynistic, and defend their positions when it comes under attack.

The whole friendzone thing is really insidious, I think, because it is so encouraged relocate the locus of blame to someone else, and that when other male peers tend to be inclined to say 'Oh, it was her fault that heartless bitch' it creates a self perpetuating environment for for that sort of ideology. Plus, people in general I think, are less inclined to just step up and owe up to the fact that you the person

[grendelity]

Pre-Amber!

And LOL NO I BELIEVE YOU DO. I just mean that you actually follow through and don't say "I consider myself to be a feminist" and then turn around and call someone a slut or lapse into ~light-hearted~ comments that are ultimately misogynist. Or something! There's a lot that goes into it. I realized as I was typing that that it could sound really terrible, but trust me when I say I mean it in the most innocently legit way possible. XD You are very aware of things, and I appreciate that a lot.

And yes. See also: my own experience with the fucking friendzone. That whole concept can just go die in a fire. It's this ultimate passive aggression that is diverting blame. I find that the locus of blame is squarely shared, more often than not.

I keep making these replies too long

Aughhhh, I don't know. I'm very partial to Redverse, because of Altlivia and Alt!Lincoln and Scarlie and Henry, but they also have Walternate. Blueverse, we have Peter, Walter, and Olivia and plus, it's our universe. THIS IS NOT A FAIR CHOICE

[kilodalton]

Choose between rewriting River Song out of existence or rewriting Doomsday so Ten and Rose didn't get separated! =D

[giallarhorn]

WHAT. THAT'S NOT A FAIR CHOICE EITHER.

River Song never existed, or Ten/Rose are together?

But if Ten/Rose are still together, then that means that Ten II never would have had to exist.

Or would he still?

Or maybe Ten never regenerates? AND IF HE NEVER REGENERATES, HE'LL NEVER TURN INTO ELEVEN AND THUS, RIVER SONG NEVER EXISTS SINCE AMY NEVER MEETS ELEVEN!

But then all those years of angsty and shippy fanfic about Rose/TenII don't exist

Orrrr Amy retains her agency as a person, and doesn't serve as a uterus for S6, and therefore S6 Silence arc never exists.

I'm going to pick Ten/Rose not getting separated, because it nets a very likely chance of River not being in existence to be replaced by Reinette?

[kilodalton]

Haha you're right - definitely not mutually exclusive!! XD

I'm going to pick Ten/Rose not getting separated, because it nets a very likely chance of River not being in existence to be replaced by Reinette?

I still SO hope-against-hope that Myles is the next companion. That would be so epically badly written, I would adore every minute of it XD XD

[giallarhorn]

Can I vote for going back in time and have someone else become head writer after RTD instead?

If she does come back as Reinette, I'm going to cringe and die inside so very much. In a very painful, cringing as I watch each episode sort of way.
