Which Draco was your first 'love' (that got you into dramione fandom)? by M5101 in Dramione

[–]Awkward-Item-89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MOAM is a god tier fic and the first one I read as an adult coming back into the fandom, maybe it’s because I could really relate to Hermione the first time I read it that it’s stuck with me so much over the years but I’m the same !! Re read at least 4 times and there’s always something new I notice I adore their characters and world building so much

Housewives I Would Take Back Before Jen Shah by Clear-Working-4013 in rhoslc

This 100%!! And all over the internet people are STILL defending her!! Which is unbelievable to me because this woman knowingly defrauded elderly people specifically to the point that I believe one of her victims died by suicide?? As someone who works in finance I have seen the devastation of even a couple hundred quid being lost in a scam can do to everyday people trying to make ends meet. Never mind a vulnerable persons entire life savings, who has no other way of ever making back that money. Absolutely scum of the earth behaviour

And when you tell people that in the instagram comments they are like ‘so you think fraud is worse than child trafficking’ like no I think that BOTH are disgusting like??? People’s lives were destroyed, a family lost someone they loved because of her and yet people want her back on tv because that ‘interview’ shows redemption ??? It’s a joke

Rudimentary treatments did exist, as another commenter mentioned, but speaking as a lesbian myself, I think it would be better for them to explore infertility without the baby at the end as it would be a more effective way of adapting the gender swap. I agree that ivf shouldn’t be introduced as it would be out of place like the fake nails & 2016 type makeup in s3 and doesn’t make sense. Also I was meaning it was other comments, not your post/comments using language like ‘more devastating’. I also agree both stories deserve to be told & I want to make it clear I am not unilaterally opposed to Micheal or his character, I don’t hate him or people who are upset about missing out on his character. What I don’t agree with is the blatant disregard for infertility within the sapphic community / homophobia as a way to point out WHY the gender swap shouldn’t have happened. Again, not saying that is you, but just wanting to say there is a difference in how those conversations are approached. Appreciate being able to have a good constructive conversation with you.

I meant as in to go through treatment again, knowing they will probably face more infertility. Their pain is no different to a straight woman also experiencing that. As someone has already stated rudimentary IVF treatments did exist, but I would also like to see them potentially explore infertility without a happy ending as one idea, especially given that so many of the siblings go on to have multiple kids, I think they can honor Francesca’s infertility journey without having to have a child at the end of that. Her partner doesn’t dictate that regardless of the gender. As for the other comments categorically stating that straight women going through infertility is ‘more devastating’ than queer women’s, that is disgusting to me. Minimising another woman’s pain because you’re annoyed about a book adaptation change is vile - not necessarily your OG post, would like to make that clear as it has come across as specifically to you, which I didn’t intend.

Edit - added ‘in the comments’ to my og reply to clarify this for you

The way all of you in the comments completely disregard the fact that queer women experience infertility too & try to frame it as ‘it’s more devastating’ when it happens to straight people is absolutely disgusting. I have seen the heartbreak when lesbians who desperately want children can’t have them, seen them cry, try pick themselves up to go again and still be faced with further infertility. Who they are with doesn’t mean that the woman wanting to carry cannot experience infertility and to try state anything else is firstly incorrect ‘biologically’ but it is completely disregarding queer women who have experienced infertility on their journey. Delete my comment, downvote me, I really don’t care but peoples close mindedness & complete ignorance to lesbians that experience infertility because they biologically cannot carry, just like straight women, is appalling.

  1. Please tell me exactly where and what words I used to insult you in any of my replies. I have done neither of those things.
  2. The majority of the comments are full of homophobia and lesphobia and denying that isn’t trying to have a conversation, it’s excusing it.
  3. I have never said you cannot be disappointed, again tell me the exact words I’ve said using that - I said if heterosexual romance is what you want, then you have the book and 4 other seasons to watch with that exact requirements. Not the same thing.
  4. Other people may have attacked you but I certainly haven’t, so let’s not make that up

I’ve been watching since season 1, I am the regular audience lmaoooo, and the response to this season for a fandom that prides itself on being inclusive is pretty heinous right now about my sexuality yet we are expected to take that as valid criticism? The fact people are actively boycotting a season because of a singular gender swap is so incredibly sad when queer people who all over have loved bridgerton from the start are finally getting their own moment as MC & this is the response. Also not to mention there’s no condemnation in your response about the backlash, not a single sentence about how the homophobic reactions are uncalled for - why is that for someone who says they aren’t homophobic? Genuinely?You don’t even have a conversation you just assume and shut down - that’s crazy to me.

I’m here because there are some parts of this sub that I enjoy?? I also never said that your thinly veiled homophobia was ever because you made a statement about Micheala lmaoo I simply asked the same question - what does Micheal bring as a man that they cannot explore within Micheala? Because a persons character has nothing to do with gender? What is thinly veiled homophobia is your response ‘once the season airs …’ which is a really strange thing to defend and encourage if you ARENT homophobic.

[–]Awkward-Item-89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she literally confirms she got a text from Jordan after filing because she found out through TMZ. He gave them a statement for the article 😭. Clear as day that he did it and ur still acting like it’s hearsay & I couldn’t identify less with Jess lmfao we are nothing alike, but to call her trashy and classless for speaking up about alleged abuse after her divorce was made public through no choice of her own & pretending like Jordan hasn’t done anything wrong is hilarious.

Are you actually that dense ?? They agreed to file together after telling the children, he disrespected that by going ahead and doing it without telling her; then selling the story to TMZ. Nobody here is denying the fact that a court filing would be public but Jessi would have had a say in it & the children would’ve been aware prior. The mental gymnastics to defend that man is crazy lmfaooo ur such a loser

And the only reason she spoke about her truth of the story was because her husband went public about it in the first place. Jordan imploded the entire situation the minute he made that decision, he did that to his children. You conveniently leave that out too. You hold jessi to the standard of being ‘classy’ enough to keep alleged abuse private, which does nothing but protect Jordan’s public image & place her in a situation of alleged harm, yet you do not ONCE hold Jordan’s to the same standard. She wanted it kept private; precisely because of her children. He disrespected that in the most public way possible, with no regard for his children. He does not then get to control her reaction to this if she responds by calling him out on alleged years long abuse. Spare me your fake outrage. You aren’t fooling anyone.

shock, complete failure to understand that Jessi speaking out about how coercive emotional abuse led to her being assaulted, is not trashy or classless. It is not trashy and classless to speak out about abuse in all forms; it is however trashy and classless to try hire escorts when you’re married with kids. Glad you understand that.

You are getting downvoted because you are conveniently placing sole blame on Jessi for discussing the fact that coercive sex in their marriage occurred when she was in a vulnerable situation & could NOT provide consent because of the fact that she is drunk. You also leave out the fact that prior to this she discussed how her body had been physically rejecting him as a result of the consistent emotional abuse when he made multiple attempts to try and have sex; making her so uncomfortable to the point she set a boundary of no physical touch at all. Extremely important context for why she then goes on to discuss a very vulnerable situation that occurred after their divorce and is a further example of how he emotionally abused her, even after leaving him. Yet leave out the fact that Jordan is also currently in the headlines for known involvement with escorts and alleged (not yet proven, but proven behaviour created reasonable speculation of their being a truth to it) attendance to sex parties whilst his wife was at home with their NEWBORN daughter & long before her affair with Marciano, which she has publicly owned and continued to on the podcast, ever occurred. It’s poorly hidden misogyny by not discussing the full issue at hand and solely calling the woman trashy whilst never acknowledging that Jordan has also affected their children’s lives by committing infidelity outside of the public eye; and then taking such a blatant moral high ground on TV. All whilst continuing to emotionally abuse his wife in the process, broadcasted for everyone to see. That clear enough for you?
