do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression
Yes, Black men in majority white spaces do. If I don’t smile every single second of the day my coworkers become in intimidated and start asking me what’s wrong, telling me to smile, make jokes about how I’m trying to be a thug/act hard, why am I angry, etc. And it’s not just white men at my job God FORBID I my large Black ass makes a white girl feel threaten because I’m sitting down with a neutral expression.
I’m not trying to take this post away from women and make it about Black men but I want to point out that wether it’s patriarchy or white supremacy; those who feel as if they have power over you HATE to see you not smile. They are so used to people like you smiling to gain their approval that when you don’t there’s a cognitive dissonance that makes them extremely uncomfortable.
That’s why “angry Black women” is a thing. They have to put on a smile for everyone (yes even feminist white women) or we all get uncomfortable.
If I ever got famous (to whatever degree), I would actually be more offended if people didn’t write rpf about me than if they did. I’d be searching my name on ao3 and then tweeting like “I’m in 506 works. I’m one of the main characters in only 254 of them. Only 87 are rated E. Can’t believe I’m pulling such rookie numbers.” I’d be on Instagram posting pictures with like… obvious kink gear in the background trying to get my numbers up. I’d be in interviews like “Yes, obviously I’m in love with (random person I got shipped with), we actually have four dogs together. No, I haven’t met them face to face ever, and honestly, I don’t even see why that’s relevant.” I would make an ao3 sockpuppet account and comment on fics. I would drop lines from fics into livestreams.
If this is the post that somehow makes me famous I BETTER be in that Jackson Wang party
It’s not just to have a “do over” that doesn’t involve the original cast, it’s to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That’s just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
Not only should it be law that anything AI generated on the internet should be labelled as such but every website, app, and digital service should have a button I can click that removes any AI from my interactions with that site/service. I don’t want your AI assistant I don’t want your AI-generated ad copy I don’t want this insidious little thing that has crept into so much of the internet that I can be using it without even realising or knowing. If you couldn’t be bothered to have a human make it I can’t be bothered to look at it sorry bye
