this is the kind of stuff that really tugs at my heartstrings, maybe romance does exist

[maria @cherstuntdouble]

@thefateofelle if they want to portray the realities of humanity, then they have to include romance! bc many humans experience romance!

@melgreens noah wyle ain’t the only writer in that writer’s room ‼️

honestly he wasn’t intentionally being misogynistic with that statement HOWEVER that does not negate the fact that the perception of romance in media being immediately labeled and assumed as unserious stems from misogyny and that can easily become an unconscious bias for him

[holly @LITTLEBlRDS]

i’m sorry acting like anti-romance is not rooted in misogyny because it’s not seen as “serious” or “realistic” is quite dim. theres a reason why men tend to hate watching romance movies and get embarrassed if they do like them. it is a “women’s” thing at the end of the day

[rebekah @amycurtismarch]

romance doesn't negate the ability to tell important stories.

[maria @cherstuntdouble]

this may be an unpopular opinion but acting like your show is too good for romance is weird and lowkey kinda sexist bc it implies that romance (a genre normally targeted towards women) can’t be taken seriously when it’s literally one of the most human experiences

[Joss | mel king akgae @gaydeardz]

Acting like the Pitt is such a pretentious show and too good for romance when it’s not. Especially when you have the lead giving himself multiple love interests. At the end of the day it’s a DRAMA.We aren’t expecting people to make out but let’s not pretend the Pitt is above that

[maria @cherstuntdouble]

i wonder what it’s like to have blue eyes. like you just walk around the earth with that

avril lavigne? What an odd name for a cat but cute i g-

I find it utterly disappointing and frankly disturbing how much my colleagues in the media have dropped the ball on covering this.

It isn't insightful to dismiss people with eating disorders, which have the highest mortality of any psychiatric illness. It isn't a Smart Take to mock people's concern for a woman who has, very publicly, and very obviously, been struggling with a deadly illness for a long time.

I understand talking about women's bodies is difficult and this is a hot-button issue that a lot of people don't know how to discuss sensitively. But this is a celebrity with millions of young fans whose lives are at stake. And her illness is being celebrated as not just normal, but aspirational.

I also understand she personally has no obligation to publicly discuss this. And I agree with that, but only to an extent. Because by virtue of her fame, WE have to publicly discuss this and de-normalize it. This is a woman with 360 million followers on Instagram, whose face is plastered over Swarovski and Givenchy ads, who performs to sold-out venues worldwide. EVERYTHING about her is sold to her fans as aspirational, and it's willfully ignorant to pretend otherwise.

Ariana Grande's art may be in "acrimonious conversation with its spectators." But anyone familiar with the psychology of eating disorders knows that this acrimony is not coming from a rational place. She may be angry about the public scrutiny, but that's because she has a disease that is telling her she is beautiful and thriving and everyone who disagrees is just jealous, even as she withers away in real time. It's completely disingenuous to pretend she has the moral high ground here. It just lends credence to her (patently wrong) claim that she is healthy and happy and look away, everyone, everything is fine.

None of this is Ariana's fault. But it's our responsibility to call this illness out for what it is, rather than continuing to look the other way and write off the discourse as misogynistic body-shaming. And failing to do so is nothing short of a moral failure. Not just for Ariana, but for the millions of young girls who need to be told, in no uncertain terms, that this is NOT normal.

@pdeardzcrave_ BOOOOOOO i loved his “carolina boy” mention

[⛓️ @emomilfcentral]

hot take: this is actually a great thing for social media apps to have especially when heroin chic is coming back in full swing. i think all posts that showcase any unrealistic body type or standards should have a message like this honestly.
