Em @emcsquare.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It is dreadful that whenever a horrific case(s) of sexual abuse is popularized, gaining attention and sympathy towards the victims .. people from all side of politics feel compelled to demand sympathy for the abusers. 011

Reposted by Emthemboy insomniac @riotliturgist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026people talk about "media literacy" usually in the context of "needing the villain to look into the camera and tell you they're bad," but it goes the other way too--people will fly into a rage and start insisting "fiction has no effect on reality" if you DO acknowledge context, subtext, framing, etc. 5394111

Em @emcsquare.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Reminds me of the theory that Leonardo DiCaprio is gay. According to this theory/defense, his relationships with much younger women aren't real. He is gay but can't come out, so he chooses the only other option available: pretending to be a creep. But it's clear, gay or not, he is a creep. 061
Em @emcsquare.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I personally think it is a [lighter] form of degendering .. ugly women aren't women enough. It doesn’t give them the privileges or protection of being men, but that what people assume. 2939
Em @emcsquare.bsky.social · 08/09/2026"It was very peaceful" I wonder whether they would've said the same if the police had responded.
