I’m not sure how strongly I believe this. But a lot of “that man writes women badly” discourse seems more like critique of stories where a man is the main character? It legit mostly seems like people are annoyed women are filling the character requirements of a side character.
Just reminded of the "Scully Effect" - that girls who watched the X-files were more likely to pursue careers in science- but this ignores the bigger "Mulder Effect" which inspired a whole generation of young men to become socially awkward porn addicted conspiracy theorists.
The Friday the 13th franchise suffered a lot of indignities in the mid-'80s, but not worse than being associated with a terrible Alice Cooper video. Alice gets to play Jason Voorhees, and traps a couple in the movie!

calling b99 copaganda is super funny because it’s like the one and only show that shoots itself directly in the foot in its last seasons because of the pressure and heat on cops. pretty weak propaganda to fold instantly under “yeah but this shouldn’t be supported”.
Happy #DoctorWhoDay! To celebrate, we look back at our #DoctorWho episode from last year: Doctor In Distress, a failed attempt to bring the show back from cancellation. Do you love '80s celebrity charity singles and sci-fi? Of course you do! Check it out!

it’s insane that kirk van houton’s concern that milhouse might have two spaghetti meals in one day happened in a treehouse of horror episode and is therefore noncanonical
phone banker: ok and is there anything that’s been keeping you up at night about the election
Horror and rap too often go hand in hand, and it did three times the early '90s. In our new episode, we look at three videos, and wonder why MC Hammer and Tag Team rapped about the Addams Family.

remember when we had a companion who was a foster baby and didn’t know what her mom looked like so the doctor just went back in time with his tardis and took a bunch of pictures of her and gave them to said companion because that was a thing he could do very easily
