I love how we are supposed to think that men have a monopoly on logic and rationality when one of their favorite problem-solving strategies is “kill my entire family and then myself”
I just noticed one thing about the reasons men and women are getting canceled. My main point (aka TLDR): a woman is criticized for what she said, and a man for what he did. Here's an example.
There's a female content creator named Omocat. She made a game called Omori, which has been pretty successful. But there's been a controversy going around her since 2014. So, you may find proof on the internet, I'm just telling you real quick. So, she joked about shotacon back in 2012-2013 and also made a shirt merch design with the word 'shota' on it. She apologized, two years later, and stopped selling that shirt. After that, she said nothing controversial, but people came at her in 2020, just before she was about to release her game. The controversy was always going somewhere in the background, but literally yesterday she wrote that this shit was going anew, and she again explained herself.
Her actions were problematic, but a lot changed in ten years, right?
Now, here's the controversy surrounding another part of the Omocat's team, the main game composer, Pedro Silva. It's on the screenshot because I'm too lazy to write that down, and If you wish you can find out more on the internet.
As we see, Pedro Silva got canceled because he (they, whatever) literally ABUSED his partners, and If I had to believe this Redditor, it was not so long ago before the game was launched. Interestingly enough, as you see the thing I underlined, fandom somehow came to blame Omocat, as If she was responsible for his actions.
I can't give much more examples, but If you do, you can reblog this, whatever. I'm not really following any internet drama surrounding celebrities and media people, but since I love her game, I had to check it out.
Tho I remember the controversy around Jenna Marbles in 2019-2020, for the 'blackface' in her 2012 video. Can you see the pattern I'm talking about?
Or even JK Rowling! Did she kill, rape, or abuse any trans person? No, but it was enough for TRAs to cancel her. For her words. For what she said, not did.
While women are criticized for everything they say/do, If it's fair or not, men get canceled for doing atrocious, wicked things. And sometimes they even don't! Yes, Depp sympathizers, I'm looking at you. Can you imagine how many men could have gotten canceled for being racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, ableist... Don't even get me started on misogynistic.
Gyns, do you feel this was too? I'm just curious If it's a big, big pattern or if I'm just basing this off a few situations. Anyways, share you opinion or something, I would be glad to hear it!
It's monstrous how much boys and men love tormenting girls and women. The way so many boys and men actually love scaring and upsetting girls and women on purpose because they think it's funny.
I'm thinking specifically about how I have some phobias of bugs, and I specifically have to hide that from men because once they find out they purposely show me the bugs I'm afraid of to torment me because they think it's funny and cute to torment and upset a woman. Like when one of my male co-workers at my old job found out I was arachnophobic after that he made a point of if he found a spider in the store he'd purposely try to shove it in my face because he thought it was funny and cute to scare me and make me upset. I've had multiple instances of grown male co-workers behaving like this but never a grown female co-worker. Sure, I'm sure there's at least a few grown women in the world out there like that, but for the most part this behavior is only seen in small girls but quickly corrected and beat out of her while men are still tormenting women for fun as grown adults.
Or my mother has a pretty bad phobia of frogs, and she told me a story about how when she was a little girl some boys found out, and they specifically made it a point to collect frogs from outside to throw at her. One time they cornered her in the bathroom and threw buckets of frogs at her, she was sobbing and shaking and having a full blown panic attack while they were laughing. It was for no other reason than they thought it was funny to make a girl upset and scared.
And this ties in with how often if a girl or woman asks a boy or man to stop doing something that bothers her or annoys her they double down and start doing the behavior even more just because they want to upset girls and women. Like schoolgirls asking the boy next to her to stop drumming with his pencils because it's distracting her from being able to pay attention to class, how likely is it he'll actually stop vs just doing it even more loudly and frequently just to bother her? If this is a lifelong pattern for girls this makes girls back off and less likely to stand up to boys and men.
If a girl has for years had a pattern of every time she asks the boys in her class to stop drumming with their pencils while she's trying to pay attention or stop saying gross sexual jokes that make her uncomfortable to her during class or stop poking her and every time they just double down and start doing it even more and even louder or harder just to upset her, is she going to keep asking boys to stop doing things that bother her? Is she going to feel comfortable and safe standing up for herself and asserting her boundaries? Or is she going to get quiet and stop speaking up and hope for the love of god they don't notice the annoyance on her face because if they do that's enough just to make them double down and start doing it more to bother her?
I've seen countless examples of men purposely making women so scared or upset or angry that they're in tears for no other reason than fun and entertainment. Boys and men are fucking sadistic demons. And this keeps girls and women in line, keeps girls and women from being able to stand up for ourselves and assert our personal boundaries to boys and men.

“People are perfectly happy to see women as sex objects, but the actual biology of our bodies is apparently gross and unmentionable.”

The “Siluetas” comprise more than 200 earth-body works that saw the artist burn, carve, and mold her silhouette into the landscapes of Iowa and Mexico. The sculptures made tangible Mendieta’s belief of the earth as goddess, rooted in Afro-Cuban Santería and the indigenous Taíno practices of her homeland.
“It is a way of reclaiming my roots and becoming one with nature.”
radfems: features that make up "femininity" such as make-up, high heels, shaving, are constructs of patriarchal societies to control women
very "woke" progressive people on the internet: aw stop ruining the fun! just bc you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad!!! respect people's individual choices!!!
just go see an ob-gyn
what happened to tumblr hating reddit? why is tumblr treating them as poor little men who just need refuge from a big bad website? like do you know how many of these men demonized female dating strategy for creating a female only subreddit while scrolling through the most degenerate and abysmal porn subreddits looking for female only porn? stop welcoming those assholes
have a hog wild weekend
the fact that even just saying you like jkr gets you forever labeled a bigot but all the ppl who openly supported depp get to quietly withdraw back to normalcy. no one sees an issue with that? especially considering one beat a woman & the other has donated millions to women. with the utmost sincerity, if you genuinely think jkr is some sort of dangerous transphobe I think you’ve got to be one of the dumbest fucking people on the planet. you lack the most basic critical thinking skills and follow along with whatever you’re told like a naive child. I mean it’s been years now and it genuinely baffles me. not once has she said anything bigoted. no one can even back their arguments of this claim. it’s just been decided and so the crowd follows.
