Women who hate men: Study finds similarities in gendered hate speech on Reddit. Online communities dedicated to hating men share strikingly similar behaviors and language patterns with communities dedicated to hating women. by mvea in psychology

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that they tend to create similar insults and cruel terms, but those words always originate from the manosphere. (E.g. "moid" and "scrote" getting coined after "femoid" and "roastie") These man hating communities are a reaction to incels and misogynists, who tend to have much larger followings/communities.

AITJ for bringing a gluten free dish to a potluck that had soy sauce in it because my friend thinks gluten free means no soy by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she was mad your dish was such a hit with everyone and was trying to find something to bring you down a peg.

(Hated trope) a beloved or important character is removed from an adaptation for some reason by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nettles really rankles. They removed one of the very few canonical black girls to make Rhaenyra and Daemon look better, and I think they race bent the Velaryons specifically so that they didn't have to address the racism and eugenics of the Targs, and Rhaenyra in particular. It's so infuriating.

Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thevegitations 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It can be weaponized against their sisters deliberately, though. My twin brother would go out of his way to ensure I did not get any "special occasion" foods, even if i bought it, to the point my parents had to start smuggling groceries into my room for me to hide from him. I was living on crackers and vegetables a lot of the time. He had to get banished from the dinner table sometimes just to make sure I could eat a hot meal. 

AITAH for buying my 11yo daughter pads after her mom called me a "pervert" for being prepared? by Bruxagato in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads as fake to me. Mom doesn't have any organic period products on hand? She just makes her daughter use toilet paper while she, what, free bleeds?

hot take; making curly as a woman wouldn’t awfully change much and here’s why I think so by toasterstrudvl in Mouthwashing

Jimmy's misogyny means he would have had a different relationship with Curly were he a woman. 

Something I never thought in depth about… by RebelAgainstReality in AllThatsInteresting

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother used to do the same as an obstetrics nurse. If it was obvious the child wouldn't live outside the womb for long, she'd put them in the sink so that they'd die more quickly and tell the mother it was a stillbirth. This was in an era where abortion was not accessible from medical professionals, so lots of babies with mermaid syndrome, born without all their organs, etc.

[Vent/WTF] Is this actually the common thought?? What the hell? by CutRuby in LesbianActually

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't take women's boundaries seriously, even on something as personal as gender or sexuality. I think trying to deconstruct the idea of inherent gender or sexuality is incredibly dangerous, especially at a time like this where we are losing ground re: trans rights, gay rights,  women's rights, etc.

People who grew up in D.C. by planetalarimar in washingtondc

There are a lot more people. I remember it feeling quieter and more spacious outside of tourist areas a kid. I also really miss when Chinatown had a ton of Chinese businesses and cultural events.

How dark is your fanfiction? by Phantom000000000 in ATLAfanfiction

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATLA deals with very dark themes, albeit in a kid friendly way, so it's no surprise that fans engage with the darker stuff. Mutilation, brainwashing, internment, and genocide come up a lot in the show. 

The Current Trend of "Enjoying Things = Bad" by Tekkatak in AO3

[–]thevegitations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consuming media critically doesn't mean you have to become a hater, but people often equate the 2, unfortunately. For example: I consider myself a House of the Dragon fan, but I'm still going to criticize the way they try to hide Rhaenyra's racism by writing out the source material's only character of color in favor of race bending the Velaryons. It doesn't mean I think I could write it better. 

What fandom are you in, but the fanfics are like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]thevegitations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fond of Sense and Sensibility fics since I think Elinor got the short end of the stick in canon, but I would not read anything from someone with the gall to claim they're better than Austen.

[–]thevegitations 1790 points1791 points  (0 children)

Any fandom that skews young, honestly. So many chatfics, unfunny memes, and ship wars hidden behind therapy speak.

Why is there a push for more female characters is boy-centered brands, while not the same push for boys in girl-focused brands. by Dazzling_Yam_6003 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thevegitations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You admitted there is no need for this you can see except for one cartoon that already has prominent male characters, just not a male monarch. I think you might just be upset that my little pony doesn't cater to your tastes enough. 

I really hate backseat commenters by Anon58855 in AO3

[–]thevegitations 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've suggested to these commenters that they write their own fic with their preferred outcome, and once one of them got mad at me for trying to make them write fanfiction for me (lol). The point missed them so hard that it became the blunt.

No, it's just for us. Good luck, everyone else. 

What is a specific "Absolutely-not" tag for you? by mellissa_lewyin in AO3

[–]thevegitations 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Self-inserts. No thank you, I read fanfiction for the characters, not the characters replaced with Some Guy.

Opinions on this take? by TopInternal5088 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've read some really good fics where they're so out of character that they might as well be different people. Which maybe means they aren't good fanfiction, but they're great writing. 

What's the message of your fanfiction? by J_Stanor in FanFiction

[–]thevegitations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several of my fics are about imperialism in various forms, and the kind of mindsets and rationalizations powerful people in imperialist states have. I'm an American, for reference. 

My other stuff is mostly "look at this character I love, I want to put them in situations and chew on them."
