I was just browsing the Yang Xiao Long tag, and someone said that Tai’s attitude towards Yang in Volume 4 were “dad goals.”
So, insulting your kid for having PTSD, and blaming them for getting PTSD is a goal for people?
Ending up so depressed and engrossed in your work to the point that your five-year old kid has to take care of their younger sibling is a goal?
Saying you want to go out and look for your kid but then pawning that off onto your eldest kid so you can garden is a goal?
They also said that they were glad to see Yang back in action in Volume 5, so obviously they should know that Tai’s actions aren’t “Dad goals.”
Why do people elevate Tai’s parenting skills?- There’s plenty of other dads or dad-like characters to choose from like Klein or Ghira. But people opt to elevate… Taiyang “Imma insult my daughter losing her arm” Xiao Long.

You know, all this hate coming from fndm aimed at Yang and her coping with PTSD is eerily similar of the shit I heard in the LoK fandom when Korra was going through her PTSD arc.
Here’s an idea: Maybe if you all refrained from talking about things you don’t understand and took the time to, I don’t know, read about trauma or maybe listen to people who deal with it, before judging characters as ‘bitchy’, ‘hysterical’ or whateverthefuck goes through your mind before posting on public tags you wouldn’t find yourselves in The Bad Take Zone so often. And don’t think I missed the way misogyny always creeps up in this discourse.
This whole “oh my god she’s still acting like this, why isn’t the ptsd thing done yet, cut out the angst” chatter is not limited to fandom, people who deal with it in real life hear this all the fucking time. I repeat: get educated because your biases and ignorance are showing.
I’m bringing this up one last time because I am still annoyed by it.
I was sent some links of youtube videos from rwby content creators and it only served to solidify my utter disgust with most of the fandom that dwells on that hellsite. I really wish we could just cancel these people, because when some dude has the audacity of saying Yang’s PTSD isn’t all that real and is actually convenient to her because it doesn’t affect her every waking moment, and is then supported by an audience of thousands of people without even once thinking of doing some self-crit it baffles me they still have a platform.
I know, in this day and age I might be asking for too much, but is it really that hard to have second thoughts before throwing bad takes on the wind and maybe doing some research beforehand? Why is it that so many people think they shouldn’t be held accountable by what they say when within the realms of fandom and the internet? Why is it men feel so entitled to women’s experiences with trauma? Why is it someone goes on public spaces and uses misogynistic language to describe a literal teenager acting defensive because of said trauma and believes that can’t possibly have an effect on real people who have been through similar experiences?
I love how Maria does not seem to give a shit about all the craziness going on n decides to stick around.
“.. Im. sat here with a disappointing alcoholic, his two nieces, one of whom is a SEW. An ex Terrorist. The missing Heiress to the SDC, probably one of the richest families on Remnant.

There’s also lesbians and sandwiches…… I like it here.. Think imma gonna stick around… ”
She’s having waay too much fun with the unfolding drama.
Hey, when you’re that old – probably rare to be that surprised or entertained.
why limit yourself between choosing between a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? if persephone can be the goddess of spring & queen of the underworld at the same time so can you
This is both against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan God’s. This is blatant satanic blasphemy

Reblog if you too are against the gender roles that God put forth and in favor of the worship of pagan Gods.
another weird thing about beer is that it has weird masculinity connections to it. “ya i’ll get a beer, i don’t want none of them girly drinks” Jimothy, you’re drinking wheat juice with a 5% alcohol content and my mixed, fruity, “girly” drink is 40% alcohol and tastes great
O.KAY *CRACKS KNUCKLES* I AM ABOUT TO GIVE YOU AN EDUCATION
BEER IS TRADITIONALLY A WOMAN’S DRINK, IT IS THE MOST FEMALE OF ALL OF THE DRINKS. FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS, BEER WAS MADE AT HOME BY WOMEN, TO BE CONSUMED BY WOMEN AND CHILDREN–IT WAS ACTUALLY A SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS FOR MANY HOUSEHOLDS. WOMEN CREATED THE CRAFT OF BEER, AND FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY THAT IS WHO YOU’D BUY IT FROM: MANY WOMEN MADE ADDITIONAL INCOME BY BREWING AND SELLING BEER FROM HOME. IT WASN’T UNTIL THE ERA OF INDUSTRIALIZATION THAT BEER BEGAN TO BE BREWED IN FACTORIES. AND ONCE BEER WAS BEING BREWED ON A LARGE SCALE, IT MADE TO START MARKETING IT TO ALL THE MALE FACTORY WORKERS WHO SUDDENLY HAD EXTRA INCOME. HENCE AN AGGRESSIVE MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO RE-BRAND BEER, A DRINK INTRINSICALLY TIED WITH WOMEN’S HISTORY, AS A ‘MASCULINE’ BEVERAGE.
EVEN BETTER, FEMALE BREWSTERS WERE THE ORIGINAL WICKED OLD WITCH. THE TROPES WE COMMONLY ASSOCIATE WITH STEREOTYPICAL WITCHES ARE ACTUALLY BASED ON THE TRADITIONAL BREWSTER. CAULDRONS & HOT STEAMING POTIONS = BEER BREWING. THE WITCH’S HAT: BELIEVE IT OR NOT POINTY HATS WERE ACTUALLY WORN BY BREWSTERS WHEN SELLING THEIR PRODUCT AT MARKETS: THE ENORMOUS HEADGEAR HELPED THEM STAND OUT, AND CLEARLY TOLD EVERYONE ‘YO MOTHERFUCKA GET YOUR BEER HERE’.
CATS AS FAMILIARS: CATS WERE COMMONLY USED TO PREVENT RODENTS FROM GETTING INTO THE WHEAT. EVEN THE BROOMSTICK IS RELATED TO BEER: A BUNDLE OF TWIGS RESEMBLING A BROOM WAS USED AS AD FOR ALEHOUSES
so basically, beer is the ultimate woman’s and witch’s drink
REBLOG ME
fuck u guys, i didn’t spend 20 min fact checking for 3 notes
ok right links fine
i was probably drunk when i wrote this. best i can remember:
all these whiny bastards complaining about my taste in caps lock. I rewrote it for you:
*Sighs heavily and re-cracks knuckles*
Beer is traditionally a woman’s drink, it is the most female of all of The Drinks. For thousands of years, beer was made at home by women, to be consumed by women and children—it was actually a source of nutrients for many households. Women created the craft of beer, and for most of human history that is who you’d buy it from: many women made additional income by brewing and selling beer from home. It wasn’t until the era of industrialization that beer began to be brewed in factories. And once beer was being brewed on a large scale, it made sense to start marketing it to all the male factory workers who suddenly had extra income. Hence an aggressive marketing campaign to re-brand beer, a drink intrinsically tied with women’s history, as a ‘masculine’ beverage.
final bit:
Even better, female brewters were the original wicked old witch. The tropes we commonly associate with stereotypical witches are actually based on the traditional brewster. Cauldrons & hot steaming potions = beer brewing. The witch’s hat: believe it or not pointy hats were actually worn by brewsters when selling their product at markets: the enormous headgear helped them stand out, and clearly told everyone ‘yo motherfucka get your beer here’.
Cats as familiars: cats were commonly used to prevent rodents from getting into the wheat. Even the broomstick is related to beer: a bundle of twigs resembling a broom was used as advertising for alehouses.
so yeah, beer = witch’s brew. other things to check out:
Fermented low-alcohol beverages being the prime source of safe drinking water, for the whole family, for much of human history.
Beer, women, and the invention of the drinking straw (trivia, the oldest known straw is Sumerian, 5000 years old, made of gold and lapis lazuli. )
Monks horning in on the female-dominated brewing economy, the medieval church persecuting female brewsters
Monks adding hops (and making beer gross) in order to lower their libido (and to avoid the temptation of gay sex)
Dionysus, god of winemaking, and his raving, drunken madwomen followers, the Maenads.
Or any of a long list of goddesses associated w/ beer. Tenenet, the ancient egyptian goddess of childbearing & beer brewing. The earliest beer recipe, found in a 3900 year old poem honoring Ninkasi, patron goddess of brewing
And that’s all for now folks. Happy drinking’
no one ever reblogs this version and i wish they would
further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.
omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards
by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.
Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards
@femmefaramir this is some fucking galaxy brain level tags and im crying out of sheer horror
