Perfect Void Cat 🐈🖤🖤

So, I finally got around to watching Adolescence on Netflix and now I see why the manosphere is in full on damage control mode. This show did its research and did SO MANY things right because of it.

Firstly, they didn't have Jamie cartoonishly espousing his beliefs like a cartoon supervillain, because they did their research, and knew these boys are being carefully taught by the adults in the manosphere to hide their power level. They showed the full reality of what Jamie had become under the tutelage of the manosphere by letting their teachings silently guide his actions.

Second, they almost completely removed Katie from the conversation. That was so important because men would have jumped all over that to devalue the messaging by calling it another piece of feminist trash centered around women. Men were center stage in this, portrayed in respectful honesty, flaws and all.

Jamie's dad was legitimately an alright dude, but he had his family walking on eggshells with those tantrums of his, and I imagine the truth of that was such an uncomfortable but necessary glimpse in the mirror for men. My brother has never laid hands on a woman in his life either, but he has that same inability to emotionally regulate when he gets angry, and I think it was important for men to see what it looks like for the people around them to deal with. By centering the male experience in an honest way, in making a piece of media men might not completely dismiss outright, they get to see what they look from the point of a spectator's view, and that's so goddamned important.

Third, they left a lot of stuff about the Red Pill confusing and vague. This is going to spur parents to do more research, which is so fucking necessary, and it's going to keep the manosphere from saying, "Well, this and this and this is completely misconstrued." This is important because if we want legislation passed to protect young people from the Manosphere, we need to focus on the long term damage over time done to the psyche, on the actual damage they're doing to young boys, rather than focus on criticizing rhetoric they've got meticulously built dialog trees to defend. We need to build a case that the Manosphere is full of predators absolutely breaking the psyches of young boys for money.

Something I need people to understand is the Manosphere would crumble without adolescent views. If any of them go to meet-ups, you can see pictures with their fans, and they're just awash in a sea of tween and teen boys. It's fucking horrifying. We would do damage this pipeline would never recover from if we remove their access to children.

i know enjolras who is cruel to grantaire without meaning to is a thing but i also always think about the opposite

grantaire who is cruel to enjolras without realising it because enjolras is perfect, enjolras is a god, he's not going to care about what grantaire thinks so does it really matter what he says? grantaire who sees enjolras as untouchable and treats him as such when that's far, far from the truth

love it when they both just deeply, deeply misunderstand each other and hurt each other as a result, and only after a long struggle do they finally start to figure it out

"I broke up with Jonathan." Nancy said out of nowhere.

"Ok... wha-...hm, want me to beat him up?"

"No." Nancy repeated.

"Ok... I'm sorry, Nance, but why did you tell me this?"

"I don't know," Nancy sighed. "I just… have this constant urge to be honest with you, like... to tell you everything."

Nancy ignores Robin whenever she gets to talk to her. She ignores her completely, it's almost like she vanishes. No calls, no coming to Family Video, no interactions at school. The only times Robin gets to hear about Nancy is when Steve mentions her. Robin wonders why, after some time, Nancy tells her the truth.

twilight and autumn blaze perhaps? me and my friend love that one :D

If one night I decided to go full crazy and was to write an essay on why Nancy Wheeler is a lesbian, like backed up with the interpertation of the show and scenes and everything--

The town had been murmuring about Creel House since 1959, before it even. Stories of lights flickering at night, colossal spider webs — they’re made for human children, they’d say — animals like rabbits, doves, and even lambs dropping dead when setting foot near the premise.
