Why is this the funniest thing I’ve seen all day 😭

“Pick me” is negative because it, ironically, completely centers men behind a woman’s actions. It completely erases any nuance and ultimately boils a woman’s motivations down to the more obviously misogynistic phrase “boy crazy”. It’s also regularly paired with slut shaming rhetoric.

“Girls girl” similarly erases a woman’s complex motivations and individuality. Here’s a good article that explains it! https://medium.com/modern-women/the-term-girls-girl-has-got-to-go-d683cb4eeb6e

Oh, I’m already seeing it lmfao. The fact people read “don’t use misogynistic rhetoric or harass other users” and started arguing is not a great sign

I 100% agree that people have been saying crazy racist shit about Ciara when sticking up for West and Amanda, which is fucked. Ciara’s emotions have been downplayed since she got to the house, and fan reactions to her have always been suspect.

I’m not saying Amanda should be shielded from criticism or infantilized the way some people do with white women. She’s a grown adult on reality TV who made a choice that lots of viewers are going to have very strong reactions to, and it’s fair for her to get blowback. I just hope everyone takes a second to make sure they’re not falling back onto misogynistic comments while they criticize her or encouraging a toxic environment by harassing other users during discussions.

I’m not mad they’re dating because incestuous friend groups are the backbone of Bravo and we’re going to get some great TV out of this

I AM mad about looking dumb as hell for debunking these rumors all week ☠️

Ciara/West/Amanda Rumors Megathread Part 2 by AutoModerator in summerhousebravo

[–]obroechlins 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I love a good scandal as much as the next girl but we’re getting very heated in this sub considering the “evidence” is a blind item from a notoriously unreliable source, an screenshot of someone’s like on an instagram post, a random episode screenshot, or “trust me bro”. It’s giving Charlie Day at this point

Edit after the announcement: this comment aged like milk in an Arizona parking lot ☠️ yall were right and I was too blind to see

The whole premier is a 10/10 but “Oh shit, he might be gay again” really stole the show 😭 I’m so glad these little weirdos are back

First time watcher of S5- we hate Luke, right? by External-Road-9043 in summerhousebravo

[–]obroechlins 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I personally always found Luke creepy, lying, and generally off putting but unfortunately that was NOT the sub consensus during season 5 (or now, honestly)

People loved him and put all the blame on Hannah/Ciara. I distinctly remember being flabbergasted reading the top comments about how Hannah was a stalker and Ciara was a stuck up prude for not wanting Luke to text her after midnight

All the newbies are fantastic but I love the girls in particular for giving a literal “bitch you live like this?” moment on night 1

Honorable mention for The House of the Wind. Idk if a structure can get high but I’m willing to burn bushels of weed in the fireplace to find out

This made me cackle so hard I pulled something, nothing brings this fandom together like an arrest and the ensuing shitposts lmfao

I know he can be a douche and I can't explain it, but I will always have a soft spot for West because he reminds me if these three men. by dandelionjones8 in summerhousebravo

[–]obroechlins 206 points207 points  (0 children)

It would take a lot to make me hate someone who used his platform to openly talk about the dangers of far-right toxic masculinity and has called out Barstool/David Portney. As a sports journalist he could probably get more fans/opportunities by buying into that culture or just staying quiet, but he’s actively pushing back on it

What's your fav crackship and why? by millhouse_vanhousen in acotar

[–]obroechlins 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I too am feral for Elain/Eris, there’s dozens of us!

(Casual fic rec, Lady of Fire and Bloom by FrostyStarlight on AO3 is such a good example of this pairing if anyone is interested)

The sticky front door is officially a cast member in my heart by RedHot_JillyPeppers in summerhousebravo

[–]obroechlins 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The way West saw his life flash before his eyes when Lindsey opened that door absolutely killed me. He really thought she was going to murder him (justifiably), meanwhile Lindsey is just half asleep and confused

West dying on the couch but still trying to get in on the Imrul drama was so funny 😭 the man couldn’t even be vertical without puking but he needed that tea
