We Need To Stop Saying Hating A Female Character Is Misogynistic

Me when I defend Snape so much and remember that Snaters brush me off as just “some Snape apologist” even though I actually have so many criticisms of his awful actions, love his deep-rooted flaws and complexities, love to analyse how much his horrible childhood shaped him out to be for the rest of his life and how it turned him into what he hated most (a bully), and usually the only times I defend him are when his haters misconstrue what he did and make up fanon claims about him, not because I can’t handle when they say anything bad about a character I love, but because I simply can’t handle when people misunderstand his character (for better or for worse):

fuck imalexx

if you don’t mind me asking, what is the whole kavos/ slazo situation? i’m new to the fandom and i keep seeing too many conflicting stories.

hi :)) I'm so sorry it took me a while to answer this.

just fyi I'm no expert on this since I try to avoid too much drama but I'm just going to try my best to explain quite briefly. I don't know how much you know, so here's some general stuff.

kavos - he made a lot of videos on alex and some of his friends around 2-3 years ago. alex made some back in 2017. to put it simply, kavos really dislikes alex and makes videos on him every time there's new "drama". I'm not saying alex never does anything wrong, but kavos is usually very unfair and biased when it comes to his videos on alex.

slazo - slazo was a friend of alex and they had made a couple of videos together. however, last year slazo's ex-girlfriend chey made tweets accusing slazo of rape and emotional abuse/manipulation.

she provided some DMs as proof (I'm not gonna include everything but you can probably look this up). alex together with youtubers hyojjin, kwite and kinganii (alex's ex) and others supported chey. it was later revealed that they knew about the tweets from chey before they were posted and wanted to take away slazo's influence because they believed he was dangerous. they did not consult slazo first.

however, slazo made a video explaing that most of the DMs were out of context and put together to portray a narrative. a lot of chey's stories were according to slazo, wrong. some of cheys claims he admitted to, but chey's accusations were heavy and not proven.

personally, I think some of the things slazo actually did admit to were pretty bad (watch the video if you want the details). in addition alex claimed to have heard other stories behind the scenes. although people question alex's motivations, I believe he was mainly trying to support a friend.

still, the way this was handled wasn't great. it took alex and the others a long time to "apologise", and alex continued his support for chey for a while. he got tons of backlash. kavos made videos claiming alex was a "snake", "a danger to the platform' and just a terrible person. in the end alex apologized for not talking to slazo privately and handling the situation better. this is the apology/explanation from alex.

personally, I believe this apology is good, but a lot of people don't, including kavos ofc.

recently kavos has made a video regarding the inabber/eboys drama. I have other posts about that, but keep in mind that they're my personal opinions.

anyways, this stuff isn't easy to put into just one post, but I hope this helped you ♥️

feel free to add stuff and please tell me if I'm wrong or if I missed something really important.

and try not to spend too much time dwelling on drama, this is a lot tbh and I'm not sure how I feel about everything myself. peace ✌️

mcu peter sucks, im sorry

in terms of the spider-men/women/pigs, i don’t really have a favourite. however, i do have a LEAST favourite, and that is the MCU Peter Parker portrayed by Tom Holland.

The integrity of Spider-Man comes from that fact that he is a working-class hero, fights for the little guy, and his origin story.

and all that was destroyed once the MCU got involved.

why did they not use his origin story? does oscorp exist? harry osborn?? what?? who tf is ned? why does he have powers? why does this movie suck so much? Why are there zero stakes?

-on the ‘who tf is ned’ point, to clarify, i know who he is. ned leeds, the abusive husband of betty brant. then they make this OOC Ned date this OOC Betty. Huh?

where did ben go? why is stark here? why does he like stark? why didn’t he make his own suit? 

why is he everything spider-man is not?

the writers obviously noticed the problem, because in nwh, they rapidly back-pedaled to him being poor, making his own suits, and not having a billionaire on speed-dial to bail him out of his problems despite the billionaire still being a manipulative jackass and treating him like shit, while representing everything he stands against.

also, i did NOT like the idea of ‘mj’ being a collective spider-man gf term and just changing up the name. zendaya could’ve been mary-jane watson. michelle jones just...

i don’t even care about the fact she’s not a comic character - it’s just the fact they made her mj instead? when mary-jane is mj? idk i just didn’t like that. there are SO many comic characters he could’ve fallen in love with. it didn’t need to be this oc mj. i know people hate sam raimi mj, but she was still cool with sexist writing. comic mary-jane is such a badass. why did they not replicate that? why not ask zendaya to play original mary-jane? ‘cus she’s not white? that shit ain’t a ‘homage’ to the og mj, it’s just awful.

irondad as a concept needs to die already. please. im so done. peter is manipulated and ignored - CONSTANTLY - by Tony. that’s not acting like a father, it’s acting like a jackass. and he HAS  parental figure - aunt May. and he had a father figure - uncle Ben. irondad is creepy and reeks of grooming.

plus, they stole a bunch of concepts (for nwh too, but im not specifically talking about that) from miles morales and itsv. they copied the spider-men meeting each other, and copied miles’ personality for mcu peter. and somehow, miles is STILL more likeable. i miss the days when you could scroll through the peter parker tag without seeing tom holland and r*bert d*wney jr.

but also, literally every other spider-man would’ve been team cap. plus, andrew also said so. they’re working-class heroes. to argue against that is to be wrong. i don’t blame tom!peter for being manipulated and blackmailed. i blame the writers for being assholes, and most importantly, robert downey jr for his 15 million dollar profit off of 8 minutes of mediocre (at best) acting. -(also, saying - he’s such a good actor, he’s tony in real life! - literally makes him a bad actor with no range. someone reviewed dolittle, saying that it was so bad that it seemed like rdj was trying to sabotage his own movie. and i agree.) peter was manipulated and misinformed into being team tony. there is no variation of spider-man that would EVER be team iron-man. unless they’re fckign crazy.

also, tom holland said that if peter parker could bring anyone back from the dead, it would be tony st*rk. no btich.

also howard stark was really hot i just feel like saying that

tobey’s and andrew’s are actually ACCURATE spider-men, and the mcu needs to take notes.

this quickly turned into a tony hate post, but he is the root of mcu peter’s main issues, so.

anyways, stan miles morales

a true icon.

I knew Tony Stans were delusional, but this is too much. Most of these characters actively dislike Tony.

I just got reminded of the line (referring to Gwen) “she was my MJ” from No Way Home. as if MJ is a role to fill and not, y’know, a whole ass person

Marvel “treat women as more than replaceable love interests” challenge: failed

Snape’s Gang — Dark Side. a small edit i made when i was bored :) not completely finished

hunger games what if

what i really want to see is a hunger games version of marvel what if. how cool would it be?

WHAT IF...

Katniss didn’t volunteer.

Katniss and Peeta didn’t eat the berries.

Haymitch volunteered in the place of Peeta in the 75th.

Katniss didn’t kill Coin.

Johanna was the sole winner of the 75th Hunger Games.

Gale was chosen in the 74th.

Plutarch was actually evil.

Someone else was selected as 75th’s Gamemaker.

Seneca didn’t die.

Gale didn’t bomb the Capitol.

***

So many possibilities, so little execution. How interesting would it be?

But what I DO want to see from Marvel What If is ‘what if the other half were snapped?’ Seems interesting.

As a leftist Jew who believes strongly in the cause of dignity and freedom for the Palestinian people, and that Israel has abused them, I am begging fellow leftists to understand that real life is not a comic book. A government being “the bad guy” in a situation does not automatically make anyone who opposes it “the good guy”.

Hamas denies the Holocaust. Hamas disseminates the Protocols of the Elders of Zion—the conspiracy theory it paints is what they mean by “Zionist”. Hamas forbids foreign aid educators from teaching human rights to Palestinians, and claims that even teaching that the Holocaust happened is a war crime. Hamas has written the aim of annihilating Israel (the country and its people) into its charter—the mass slaughter and violent expulsion of 7 million Jews from the land is written into its laws.

There is no crime any state could ever do that would justify any of that; there is no act of state repression that could ever make it acceptable to side with the organization spreading Nazi pamphlets and Holocaust denial.

Oppose Bibi Netanyahu. Oppose Israel’s far-right, authoritarian government. Oppose its apartheid policies. Oppose its violent abuse of the Palestinian people. That isn’t antisemitic. But Hamas is—verifiably, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to its core—antisemitic. Its portrayal of Israeli Jews as blood-thirsty, child-killing master manipulators that control international media and finance is antisemitic. Its insistence that Palestinian freedom necessitates the death & expulsion of Jews from the land is antisemitic. Its redefinition of “Zionism” as a pejorative to mean genocidal Jewish/Israeli Supremacy is antisemitic.

Supporting the Palestinian people in their plight is a noble and loving goal; please never stop that. But do not let Hamas co-opt that into excusing or denying their rampant antisemitism and war crimes.
