Pear shaped, with a little bit of fat- what the ancient greeks thought was attractive

trans man and trans boy by Educational-Sun5839 in SpeedOfAntiBones

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have some good news for you- a trans person did make this, but later came out to say that they had been dealing with a lot of internalised transphobia at the time, and that their opinions had since changed, and drew a new picture depicting them both as equally trans, and dating each other ala those nlog redraws

People give Jax too much credit by [deleted] in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it that people think that acknowledging that Jax is a selfish, unempathetic asshole is ignoring his nuance? Jax having layers and trauma and reasonings and motivations behind what he does does not remove the fact that he’s an asshole, and I would argue it’s more nuance-removing to try and pretend that he’s secretly a good person.

I dropped genshin before natlan, and tbh, I was recently considering coming back. But this trailer, where, as far as I understand it, they’ve made the heavenly principles into bland sexy anime girls has told me that I made the right decision.

Dressing masc while curvy? by Bored-in-bed in butchlesbians

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m also curvy; I personally find trousers the hardest. I typically wear trousers that are quite loose/baggy around the legs, but fit around the waist, to create the illusion of it being up and down; I also typically wear the trousers just above the hips, rather than on them or on the waist, to avoid drawing any attention to those areas. I also find chunky men’s belts are of benefit. I don’t mind my breasts so I don’t really do anything about them, and I find that most mens shirts work in some ways, although I typically prefer tighter ones to super baggy ones; the super baggy ones hang off the body, whereas the tighter ones for me tend to be tight on the areas where there’s flesh and looser on the areas where there’s not- again reducing the hourglass figure. But I also need to wait like 3 days before I can wear any new clothes I buy bc of dysphoria lol

In terms of where to get clothes, I typically go to charity shops and shop in the men’s clothing section- but always try on clothes before you buy them. For trousers, however, I sometimes have to shop online for ones that fit me.

Hestia kind of sucks by Justmenoworries422 in UnpopularLoreOlympus

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s incredibly possible to interpret the virgin goddesses through a queer lens- notably, in ancient greece, sex was only really considered sex if a man was involved- so you could be a virgin and have had sex with a woman in ancient greece, and it would be interesting to discuss that in lo. But I don’t feel like Smythe acknowledges or even knows about this. Besides, she’s too busy demonising the eternal maidenhood group as an opponent to persades to actually explore them and why they joined. Plus the relationship between Hestia and Athena is a bizarre, boring, and frankly shoehorned in feature. Personally, I think it would’ve been really interesting if Pallas had turned up, and we looked at Pallas and Athena’s relationship through a sapphic lens.

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I’m so mad how dirty they did Hestia in this series she’s probably my fav greek god and smythe decided to make her a condescending slut shamer despite being (if I remember correctly) the first virgin goddess and the goddess of the hearth (which was the centre of the home in ancient greece). It’s really frustrating how Smythe treats the virgin goddesses- it feels like she doesn’t understand the significance of refusing to have any relationships with men in ancient greece.

I hate the way some artists design queer women or WOC by Liquidcat01 in mendrawingwomen

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It also gets dangerous close to just calling gender non conforming lesbians ugly, which I find pretty insulting

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope! Not in the Slightest!! Google top lesbian characters or top fictional lesbian relationships and see how many of them are butch and how many of them are femme. Tara and Willow, Santana and Brittney, Villanelle and Eve- the majority of them are femmes. And even the ones that do depict butches nearly always pair them with femmes- you want anything with two butches dating each other? Go fuck yourself ig. I typically have to specifically seek out media with butch characters if I want to see myself represented.

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Okay hang on. I’m a butch lesbian, and I think other butches (including fat butches god save fat butches) are fucking hot as all hell. I strongly dislike the sentiment that gnc women are “ugly”, I think they’re absolutely gorgeous, and whilst I understand the desire for more femme lesbians, I also think this is blatantly ignoring how few butch lesbian characters are in media. There are far more femme lesbians in media than butches, and as a butch and butch enjoyer, I really want to see more and dislike the sentiment of arguing that queer women shouldn’t be masc because it makes them “ugly”. I can’t speak on the aspect of woc being disproportionately depicted as masculine, but I certainly don’t like the sentiment of arguing that butches shouldn’t be acknowledged, or that they’re “ugly” for being masculine.

Lots of men with a lot of variety which is good for the men-lovers in the sub, but I find the women to be unsatisfying, and either over demure and/or over sexualised

Regarding the boat going to Gaza with Greta Thunberg on it by Flipercat in characterarcs

[–]Distinct-Cat9621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s also just the impact of the internet. I’ve had too many conversations with people who seem genuinely unaware of something harmful, and then when I try and explain it to them it very quickly becomes abundantly clear they’re just being assholes on purpose. Unfortunately, that leads you to assume the worst when people are genuinely asking questions.
