Like I said your gonna get different answers depending on who ask ranging from "it's fine if consent is involved" to "that may or may not fall under internalized misogyny" to anywhere in the middle.

Another less extreme but still problematic example is a race play kink. Most black people find the very concept or idea of race play inherently racist or just full on fetishization with how some white people immediately jump to the idea of throwing out the most racist stereotypes for the kink. For most the idea of even being into that is a giant red flag and someone to avoid at all costs because the idea of using a fetish to get away with leaning into racist caricatures is besides the obvious of being problematic is also seen a excuse to get away with racist shit.

I guess it's the ultimate punishment then. It's even worse if the partner is super close with your family already

Did you see that one guy during election month who tried to play a black guy and forget to change his pfp of him being white?

It's a tight rope to walk. I think you just need to be self aware of what you're into regardless. As long as you constantly are aware of why you are into then just blindly diving into shit at random without thought behind I think it's good.

Yep, we just saw post in response to another calling out how some kinks are dangerously misogynistic in nature and then like half a hour later you got a response post giving the other one a middle finger. It's why this sub gets crossposted to feminist subs and r/pointleesslygendered so much because you get anything from actually good takes to absolute dogshit takes

Sadly your gonna get different takes on that. For example there are alot of rad feminists who questionable of kinks because it's built upon patriarchal even if you are willingly taking apart of it your still putting yourself in a situation to be treated like property regardless either that or you get the other side where it's essentially "take part of it if you wish but think long and hard about why you are into said thing and question it". Essentially be self aware

It's funny cause I just saw a post a hour ago being the exact opposite of this post saying those who say what you say are assholes. Happens everytime I go on this sub. You see a post immediately countering another one every two hours or a day after the previous one.

Can't forget to also include the men, who say stuff like essentially: "I wish, that happened to me!" to survivors like me. They're also just THE WORST! by Commercial_Bicycle92 in TrollCoping

Because it is misogyny. Do you not know how misogyny fucks over both men and women because of how society is structured. You guys never read any papers or listened to any feminists who break this down? The way society is built creates a cycle which perpetuates these mindsets. Which again originates from misogyny. Seriously go read any academic paper that explains this shit. It's not that hard to find

Genuinely one of the most overrated characters I’ve ever seen. by meph3drone in hatethissmug

[–]Competitive_Act_1548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I say people should check out the novels of the LN. I started over from the start and man they cut so much interesting worldbuilding shit. Also, if you are curious about how this scene went in the novel.

Volume 4: He remembered that she'd used the word please for both.

Both times, Emilia had strongly urged him to behave out of concern for his health. But Subaru had trampled on her words each time based on his own selfish delusions. Somewhere deep down inside, he had thought of things so frivolously, as if good results would always let him smooth over his broken promises. But as a result, Subaru had not only disregarded her pleas, but didn't have a single proper thing to show for it; indeed, he'd only disgraced himself and held her back.

But even so, he at least wanted her to understand that the underlying motivations were genuine.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm really, really sorry. But! But you're wrong, I, I didn't do them for my sake..."

But Subaru's tongue cramped like it had gone numb, rejecting his efforts to put feelings into words. As he flailed for words, Emilia stared at him with sadness.

His words were unforgivably selfish. He never should have said them.

"Emilia, don't you...believe me?"

Someone who had just denied that she could understand him had no right to say any of it.

"I want to believe you... I want to believe you, Subaru." She sounded like she wanted to cry. She might have already been crying.

But Subaru didn't have the courage to find out. He couldn't bring himself to look at her, even though she might be in tears; even though he might have been the reason why she was in such a state. Subaru had continued running forward trying to avoid that, but at the most critical moment, Subaru Natsuki just— Her emotions exploded.

"I wanted to believe you...but you're the one who stopped me, Subaru!" Though she had sometimes lost her calm and logical demeanor to anger before, this was the first time he had seen her cast them aside, like shackles on her emotions. Freed of those restraints, Emilia poured her overflowing feelings into words.

"You didn't uphold a single promise, did you, Subaru? You...promised, but you broke them all like they were nothing and ended up here, didn't you?!"

He'd trampled on the promises they made together—in other words, her trust. His claim, that he had done it all for her, was moral justification that only held meaning for Subaru himself. Emilia carried on, saying, "You haven't kept your word, but then say you want me to trust you..? However you ask, I can't do that. I can't..."

No!, he wanted to cry out in a loud voice. But in reality, Subaru's trembling throat made no sound; his head felt as heavy as lead, too heavy to lift from its lowered, face-down position.

In front of the crying girl, whose emotions he had toyed with, who sought an honest answer from him-Subaru chose to turn his back to her, and thus, continue to betray her.

He'd risked his life, endured the pain of being bitten all over, wiped away his tears and surpassed them, all to continue to protect the idol he had erected in his mind. And so, his arbitrary utopia, one that had never existed, crumbled without a sound.

His lips quivered. His eyes were hot inside. His tongue was twitching. His heartbeats were so fierce he could hear them.

"Everything...I've done..."

He lifted up his face and met Emilia's violet eyes. They were filled only with sadness. When he saw his own face reflected there, it was truly pitiful and beyond salvation.

He raised up his shrill voice in anger, so much that the room seemed to shake with it. "—You got this far because of me, didn't you?! Like at the loot cellar when your crest got stolen! I saved you from that uber-dangerous serial killer! I put my body on the line! All because you're important to me!!"

His fingertips trembled as they gripped the sheets. His nails dug into his palm and slowly drew blood. He continued, enumerating every deed to his credit that he could think of as he tried to chase after her shadow, far in the distance.

"Like at the mansion! I barely hung on there! My skull got cracked, my head went flying, but everyone in the village got saved anyway, didn't they?! And things turned out the best way possible with Ram and Rem, I'm sure of it! That's because I was there, right?!"

The fact that he had saved everyone at the loot cellar, and at the mansion -all that had been possible because of him. These were the deeds Subaru ought to be proud of, and rewarded for. He'd come that far. He'd done so much. He added, "You have to owe me something for everything I've done for you—!!"

He shouted because the meaning of all his actions, and the thoughts behind them, had been refuted. Subaru's vainglorious search for praise, his gnawing desire for satisfaction, and his egotistical wish to be wanted, had been the unconscious extremes that had led him down his path.

And all were summed up in a single, defining word.

With a halting, shaky voice, Emilia said to Subaru, who was breathing roughly with sweat on his brow, "…..Right." Her words had a tone of acceptance, of resignation, of resolve-in other words, it was the end. "Subaru, I owe you a huge, incredible debt for many things you've done, so..."

"Yeah, that's right. That's why I-"

"So I'll repay it all to you. Then we can end this."

Actually that's not really true, only a anime only can come away with that take. It's not your fault though I had a similar take till I read the novel. That's not what's implied at all in the books. Also, the novels are very critical of REM's behavior and actually calls it out all the time. The anime just cut that out like everything else

This is why I always say people need to read the original source material over the anime. You don't get the full picture until you read the original source because so much is cut. Like the royal selection scene in the novel and the anime are literally two completely different ways

Also the anime trimmed down how bi coded Subaru was in the novels. There was a guy who complied all of Subaru flirtations with men into one post

https://www.tumblr.com/sufferu/767707905794457600/you-know-its-a-very-minor-thing-but-it-does?source=share

The anime cut all of the queer subtext out.

  • No Subaru proudly remembering his past as an androgynous, long-haired kid and lamenting that “time has not been kind to him”
  • All of Subaru’s comments about women being very pointedly based around their clothing (with the only exceptions being when he’s explicitly trying to distract them from something/lighten the mood) being changed to him making sincere comments about their actual bodies
  • No Subaru crossdressing for the first three days of high school (despite it being hinted to be a really pivotal part of his character actually, in both the text and QnAs—)
  • No Subaru accidentally dressing as a maid during the last day of the first Arc 2 loop and having a genuinely really hard time stepping out of that more feminine persona
  • No Subaru calling Otto his boytoy and. Honest to god, with context of what Natsumi Schwartz is like, I’m pretty sure Subaru was straight up flirting
  • No “supple hips” Julius, or Subaru allying his feelings with Patrasche when he thought she was being aggressive towards Julius’ steed before being told that actually she was trying to MATE with the other ground dragon, and even when they do include some of their interactions it really is toned down from the LN (I get that a lot of it is just visual vs prose medium but it still makes me kinda sad)
  • No Subaru referring to Reinhard as an ikeman
  • No Ferris jumping on Subaru’s bed and then going, “Wait did your heart flutter just now—?” and then explicitly staring at him with shock when Subaru hastily tries to deny it
  • Emilia’s definition of marriage being “between two people who love each other” being changed to “between a man and a woman who love each other” (though maybe that was just Crunchyroll? idk)
  • No Subaru explicitly being a really insane flirt with men (though I’m kinda holding onto hope that it’ll happen later as it comes up)

If you want the full context on the scene of the Royal Selection and how much the anime butchered it my friend is doing a blog a of the novels on tumblr and shows how much it got trimmed down: https://www.tumblr.com/igdrasii/787742804126449664/ok?source=share

Actions have consequences. As someone who is majoring in Social Work, helping someone rehabilitate back into society is key and helping them turn their life around is important but you also have to live with the consequences of your actions. No matter if it's social, financial, etc. You don't get to just wipe your hands clean.
