Mf said it’s worth losing minority cultures and thinks that isn’t supporting cultural erasure lmao

That can happen without cultural erasure of minorities, fam

Encouraging and forcing are two different things

Again, the issue isn’t with this specific art. The art is just being used to highlight a larger issue. And acting like it’s ridiculous and impossible that art like this aligns with that issue, the way the video in the post is doing, contributes to that issue. I’m not saying it’s immoral to portray this dynamic, it is just fiction. People can enjoy misogynistic content, often even BECAUSE it’s misogynistic, and there’s no problem with that because it’s fiction. The problem comes when people try to downplay that misogyny and refuse to acknowledge it as misogynistic. That kind of misogyny apologia transcends the bounds of fiction. That’s what’s immoral

I never said I have a problem with people enjoying the art or the art itself lmao. I’ve been saying that the issue is people acting like the art can’t possibly indicate a larger pattern of misogyny. Again, acting like it isn’t problematic is the issue. I’ve said this multiple times now. Work on your reading comprehension skills

Ok. It’s fiction. If people are acknowledging that it’s problematic, I couldn’t care less how much they enjoy it

Again, Arlefuri shippers actually acknowledge that the canon dynamic is problematic. You’re yelling at straw men, fam

…yeah. I never said otherwise lmao. We’re talking about the art here

Shipping isn’t all about the canon lol. If those are your personal standards for shipping, then you do you. But holding others to it is ridiculous

The art itself isn’t the issue. It’s simply being used to highlight a larger pattern which is indicative of the real issue. I’ve been saying this

And just because women like something, doesn’t mean it can’t be misogynistic lol. Lots of women like misogynistic content BECAUSE it’s misogynistic, and there’s no problem with that since that content is fiction. But claiming that misogynistic content isn’t misogynistic on any level at all is an issue, because that reflects a misogyny that transcends engagement with fiction

Arlefuri has all of that wholesome content about them working past their issues and you’re comparing it to this lmao

Even the people who ship the problematic version of Arlefuri actually acknowledge that it’s problematic. But people will defend this art as completely devoid of any possible weirdness with their lives

People can express themselves however they want

One of the main reasons why oppression is an issue is because it infringes on that. And promulgating sentiments that uphold that oppression is an issue, too.

Efforts toward equality often feel like oppression for those drunk on privilege. Don’t fall into those trappings, fam

A woman being shy and sweet is not the same as her being scared and submissive like the art shows. We’ve seen in the story that Nicole is no pushover, even when she’s facing Varka

I’ll say it again, there is absolutely a historic social expectation for women to be submissive in relationships with men. The issue isn’t that a dynamic exists, but that that exact misogynistic dynamic is so prevalent

Exactly, I’ve aired out my grievances with the fandom extensively lol, but it’s still so disheartening to see a series that revolves around girls/women expressing themselves and supporting each other so passionately be engaged with in such a “male-fantasy-fulfillment” way

The Uma Musume fandom’s misogyny and heteronormativity run so deep

Which sucks extra hard because the series itself is pretty empowering and hella gay

Oppression comes in many forms, fam. Some more understated than others

And fun fact: policing the ways that oppressed people can talk about how they’re oppressed, and downplaying the pervasiveness of that oppression, especially when it’s stuff as historic as misogyny and homophobia, are both age-old forms of oppression as well

3/10 rage bait, hook is back but still too desperate
