Can’t help but feel most people’s disdain towards Jessica is specifically how she didn’t fulfill that mammy role y’all so desperately wanted her to be
“You just don’t want villain characters to be poc!”
Well other than the fact that as of now she’s not a villain, she’s an antagonist(please learn the difference 20+ something yr olds)
I very much do enjoy my villains of color. Y’all are just very weird with them is the thing
Jessica did a lot of things that would make me say she’s the antagonist, but I promise you, her not being everyone’s mother is not one of them
And it’s alarming that you guys associate villain-y with a Black woman who makes it clear she isn’t babying anyone. Besides I thought that was “girl boss” behavior
I really went into the movie expecting to see her on some fuckshit the way people were going on and I got there and was like… she… was correct? Why were they booing? Lol.
She was supposed to risk the world on the hopes of a child she don’t even know, I guess. Lol. That lady is pregnant and working. Go sit down somewhere.
The worst thing about media with Black characters and POC is that all of society gets to indulge too. Then you have to like… possibly run into their opinions of it.
So my Dad and brother took separate cars to dinner tonight, and this happened.
they look like they are arguing about who is going to go home and change
Oh, they were.
Jake: You’ve got to be kidding me Dad: You SAW me walk through the kitchen on my way to pick up your sister! Jake: No seriously do you have an extra shirt in your car this is ridiculous
Oh my god they’re gonna kill me they didn’t want to even walk into the restaurant together let alone have this many people reblog this photo
Honestly I’m not deleting my Tumblr solely in the hopes that this post one day hits 1 million notes
//In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Japan] on Tuesday said it was unlawful to restrict the use of bathrooms by a transgender woman at the economy ministry, overturning a lower court ruling. It is the first top court decision over bathroom usage by sexual minorities.
The ruling — a unanimous decision by the five judges on the bench — marks a significant step forward for the working conditions of transgender people, and could affect how companies and government ministries handle similar cases in the future.//
In Japan, transgender people can only legally change their gender if they have had gender reassignment surgery. The woman in this court case was apparently unable to do so due to health reasons.
The Keke Palmer discourse has me thinking about how men really are enjoying gender roles being loosened just enough for women to think paying all the bills and still being expected to be a 1950s subservient wife for the vibes is a good deal lmaooo
Reminds me of the white guy who went to Morocco to get a subservient wife but was surprised that people there expect men to pay all the bills, expenses, and luxuries in a traditional marriage.
