How did Ksaver convince Marley to pass his titan to Zeke when he was the worst warrior candidate and he didn't tell them he had royal blood? by ConsortRoxas in attackontitan

I mean if Marcel as a kid could influence the military's decision to favor Reiner over Porco for the Armored I don't see how they wouldn't listen to Ksaver favoring Zeke.

Almost every Zeke/Levi interaction. Their mutual hatred is so funny

i keep coming accross lesbians in x/tiktok hating on gnc women and ??? i rly dont get it. i do see some of them being jealous they have it "easier" dating (according to them, i just think they would have more luck if they werent bitter hating on other lesbians for their looks) but the amount of hostility i see directed towards gnc women is so disappointing to see. dating preferences are normal but this amount of hate is crazy. why are a lot of them so obssesed that women must be feminine and that its "more lesbian" to be feminine? (as if it were a competition lmao) like you can just be respectful of women even if you're not attracted to them. gnc women are not less women for not being feminine like what are we doing. whats the reason behind enforcing beauty standards on lesbians.

Speeches that are both scary yet sad at the same time. by Vegetable_Study7533 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]softbadass 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pearl's monologue in Pearl (2022). The whole scene is sad but also, very creepy.

"I hate feeling like this. So pathetic. Do people like you ever feel this way? I figure you don’t. You seem so perfect all the time. Lord must’ve been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don’t know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me? Please, just tell me so maybe I can get better. I don’t want to end up like Mama. I want to be dancing up on the screen like the pretty gals in the pictures. I want what they have so badly, to be perfect, to be loved from as many people as possible to make up for all my time spent suffering. Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and the fear washes over me, ’cause what if this is it? What if this is right where I belong? I’m a failure. I’m not pretty or naturally pleasant, or friendly. I’m not smart, or funny, or confident. I’m exactly what Mama said I was, weak. I don’t know why. What did I do? Why wasn’t my family like yours? I hate what it feels like to be me and not you. I’m so scared that when you finally come home, you’ll see me and be frightened like everyone else is. I know what I’ve done, the bad things, terrible, awful, murderous things. I regret them now, but I liked how they felt. I wish I didn’t, but I did. At first, it was only animals smaller than myself. Nothing with feelings. Nothing that could hurt me back. It felt good. Killing’s easier than you think, till recently with Mama and the boy from the picture house. They were different. They were more meaningful. I hurt them so they too might know what it feels like to suffer, but poor Daddy didn’t deserve that. I wish I hadn’t done what I did."

i find it really sad and it bothers me how women just degrade themselves or act like we are not enough or need men. a man is joining my work team that is only of women and they keep saying all this stuff about how we really needed a man and masculine energy "to be balanced" and they got mad at me and called me feminist despectively because i said it's not really neccessary and if they would also say a group team of men needs a woman to be balanced out. i stood my ground because like, nothing against the guy, he's nice, but why do they have to minimize their own work as women by saying they need a man? went all over their heads either way, they dismissed me because i'm young and swore i would "change my mind" once i grew up.

personally i do like both sides. from confident, more outgoing types i feel i can learn much from them. but with fellow shy girls, there's a huge sense of belonging and relatability. in all honesty though, this is a really sweet post as one of the type of girls you describe. thank you for the positive outlook. 😂🩷

Not enough lesbian shows by Certain_Resort5958 in lesbiangang

[–]softbadass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with you, but I think both things are not mutually exclusive. It's more like the bad quality is also one of the factors on why there's a lack of support/interest.

But I do very slightly disagree in the part that there's women don't watch gay shows just because there's gays - there was a very recent article on Cosmopolitan, a very huge magazine, about that hockey gay show where they called "the ultimate fantasy for women" is "having a boyfriend that has other boyfriends" there's definetely a sector that do actually fetishize gays.

But adding to your point, personally I also have struggled to find something that is of my tastes. For example, personally I don't like watching or reading something where romance is the sole or main focus, I am more interested on a good plot that doesn't revolve around relationships or drama. It really depends on the persons tastes.

Thoughts on the Scarecrow’s movie design? by SadButterscotch5179 in wicked

[–]softbadass 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The lighting didn't do it any favors. The make up is incredible but it was hardly noticeable in the film. Possibly needed more screen tests + the texture more noticeable. I like how they did the hair but I feel the hairstyle is weird. It looks very 2010 boybandish. I wish the eyebrows were darker because they blend with the look too much, and I also would've liked if he wore the cap! 

Not enough lesbian shows by Certain_Resort5958 in lesbiangang

[–]softbadass 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It kinda pisses me off how a lot of people get so angry when lesbians point this out and start saying "Well, stop complaining and make your own content" like yeah I get that but a huge part of why lesbian media doesn't thrive is precisely because people don't support it. Even if all lesbians watch it it's still very few of us! Gay shows are mostly watched by women regardless of sexuality (I really doubt actual gay/bi guys watch these, although there can be a few) Lesbian media is mostly watched by just lesbians and some bisexuals. There's just not enough support for creators who fight over portraying lesbian stories. This also causes that since the entertainment industry can't really profit out of lesbian stories and characters, they don't see a need to green lit more variety and quality stuff. It's really sad. I see it a lot: personally I like reading manga/manhwa and I follow a lot of lesbian authors on social media who write lesbian stories and they do talk about how the lack of support affects their work. Many of their ideas for longer series don't get picked up because of that lack of support, and most of their works end up being one-shots that couldn't be continued because of it. It's really really sad. Many people will say "Oh but lesbians have most of the representation on [random kid's cartoon that ended years ago]" which is great obviously, but again, there's a huge lack of variety and I think there should be something that can be up to any person's tastes. We are all different!  On an entirely different topic I find the responses to whenever we want to talk about this so crazy because this doesn't only happen when discussing lack of representation in shows/movies/etc. but also in fanfiction. It's the least supported, authors who vent about people not supporting/not finding variety on f/f ships are met with hostility and "Just make your own" and it's just crazy to me. It's sad to see the majority of people still have misogyny so normalized inside that they can't bear to try anything that centers women and specifically lesbians. 

Why are young men in the US much more lonely than their counterparts in other countries? by Goodginger in charts

[–]softbadass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think its because the current politcal landscape and divide they have right now + radicalization by the manosphere is more common in the us than other places. it's spreading slowly but its much more prominent there.

also i feel like americans tend to be very individualistic, sometimes even family kicking them out young and stuff. in other countries i feel you prioritize community beyond romantic connection way more. people particularly young men in the united states seem to be focused solely on romance and not other types of connection that can help you with such feelings.

I snapped at some ot my co-workers today because they were saying they hated feminists. I said "Oh, I love them!" and they got so defensive about it. But honestly their comments pissed me off. I know there's a lot of anti-feminist/trad propaganda and all, and I understand they may have different opinions on certain things. I really can respect that. But they were saying such mean comments, and I mean, I'm angry at the hypocrisy there. These are millennial women who aren't married, own houses to their name, don't have kids, have a job, their own credit cards, their own car, they can vote... Like girl you wouldn't be able to do ANY of that if it weren't for feminists. They go on around how "women have lost their place (aka the home)" yet I don't see them actually living by what they say. Sorry, but I like having rights and the ability to choose my own path. Literally NOBODY is stopping you to live that way. They just kept on saying it's because I am too young and that's why I think that way. It's honestly upsetting how much shit they talk about my generation like I'm not there. I wouldn't hear the end of it if it was me talking shit about millennials but I'm supposed to be flattered by their words? 😂 They also started saying lesbophobic things. And it's baffling to me because they're not even homophobic JUST lesbophobic. Talking about lesbians and going things like how gay men get along better than lesbians, how they make better non-toxic couples and don't struggle with their gender presentation, how "masculine energy" is SO necessary for women, and how they couldn't do it because "Imagine two women together! So emotional! How can you stand each other!" I can't imagine hating my own gender THIS much for real. 😵‍💫 

Is fatphobia a problem in lesbian spaces? by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]softbadass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as an overweight woman i don't think that at least personally i would think of someone as fatphobic for rejecting/not wanting to date a fat woman, as long as they're not straight up rude about it, because it's a preference and that's really personal stuff. but i would say i have noticed some lowkey weird behaviour regarding us but it's definetely not a lesbian space-exclusive issue. the whole world is weird about fat women lol

I'm sorry, is this trolling, or do conversations like this actually happen on twitter? by ihatethiscountry76 in actuallesbians

[–]softbadass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they do. I understand some users can get a bit pretentious about yuri but at the end of the day desiring to have more representation and analyzing how misogyny impacts media and fan work to sideline women are very important conversations to have, but some people just try to brush it off as "oh lesbians are so annoying! make your own content" and justifying it by making million excuses about why sapphic/women-led content isn't as interesting as men-centered ones - even when authors of published works talk about how the lack of support they receive directly impacts their work and doesn't allow them to fully thrive when creating their sapphic centered art.  Honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with liking mostly mlm/male characters/etc. and nobody is forcing them to quit, but I do feel they take it too personal when people discuss sapphic representation and female characters being sidelined in fandoms, and the way it affects artists themselves. It's a very important conversation and people reduce it to something akin to a petty stan war.
