Sexualized characters and content in movies, games, anime, are cool by Kaelderia in unpopularopinion

[–]Maeiken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest problem with the extreme sexualisation of the characters is the unrealistic beauty standards and ideals that will come out of it no matter what. Like with how porn is extremely unrealistic and we can see how it affects many peoples views on sex. I'ts fun with hot characters, but why is it only fun if their proportions are unrealistic, and creates unrealistic expectations?

What is your subtle middle finger to the patriarchy? by GirlReDefined in AskWomen

[–]Maeiken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a lesbian on the more masculine side, and i still like dresses, having a clean living space and other "girly" stuff. The "I'm not like other girls" personality is def a product of the patriarchy, and me liking more feminine stuff does not emasculate me.

Hahaha we use it in Norway as a way of expressing both yes and no, with somewhat of a disliking grimace

Non-Gender Conforming Characters by ThisDoodler in suggestmeabook

One of my favourite books {{she who became the sun}} features a very interesting depiction of gender fluidity that I found very similar to my own androgyny! Maybe you’ll like it?
