#miaogyny — Public Fediverse posts

[P] So, just this one bloody time, just this once, could America be self-aware enough so it doesn't need to get to that point? It shouldn't need people trying to out-sick one another up the fucking ziggurat, untip someone reaches the summit and everyone else finally backs away in shame. I doubt it, and one fool on Mastodon is unlikely to make a difference. But if people could please start examining this...

[P] I think this needs to be called out because, honestly, it's getting really fucked up. It shouldn't be a vacuous tribal binary. "I like chonk." shouldn't mean that lanky deserves brutality & sexual abuse. I know the USA is a land of absolute tribal binaries, but this is yet another that goes too far. I'd hope we'll see less. But we won't. No, it'll take a lot more barbarism before someone gets just fucked up enough.

[P] In Sonnie's Edge, most would cheer for the male, macho, and—very specifically—muscular meathead. Sonnie would be the villain for being lanky and lacking beachballs, an American audience would believe she deserves the things that happen to her—including bloody brutality and sexual assault. There's no point in denying it as it's too ingrained at this point, and please don't be unwell enough as to try to justify it.

[P] These villains are often depicted as requiring violence. And who metes out this bloodthirsty, barbaric violence? Meatheads. There's a laundry list of instances many times longer than I am tall, it'e gotten eo bad that I can't ignore it anymore. It's why the first episode of Love, Death, and Robots—Sonnie's Edge—is so memorable because it calls this misogynistic taint out, reveals it for the diseased thing it is.

[P] I'm noticing a disturbing trend in American media, one that's bren growing over the last decade. There isn't just fatphobia anymore, there's a growing phobia of lankiness too. It seems to have a link to misogyny. And the only way to offset it is if there are two beachball orbs attached. Any lankiness sans beachballs is strictly prohibited. It's a disturbing trend as lankiness is attributed to villainy.
