What I find most interesting about Adolescence (on Netflix) is not its subject matter, or the technical aspects of one-take episodes, the performances, but its reception.

Misogyny is prevalent in our society. It’s nothing new. But when you make a correct analysis about Adolescence and it’s use of misogyny in the narrative (the name-dropping of Andrew Tate, the incel movement, and red pilled culture, etc) so many people go absolutely BALLISTIC. They refuse to see it. It must have been something else for the main character and the perpetrator, Jamie, a thirteen year old boy. Bullying. A psychological disorder.

Anything but misogyny.

I made a review stating all of this, and since then I have had multiple people attempt to argue with me about this, and go on about how hating men helps no one, how radicalized I must be to say this. Like?! WHAT! WHAT! The people are not okay.

#I understand but I also can’t understand the mental gymnastics it takes to blind yourself to the elements of misogyny in the narrative#feels like I’m losing my mind over here#Also. I might post my criticisms of the show later on and it’s lack of female perspective in the narrative namely with Katie Lisa and Manda#it was a good show! but some things can always be done better#adolescence netflix#personal.txt

I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping
