people shipping colt with Worlds Most Annoying Character instead of Black Man He Is Close Friends With. and grace with Guy From Entirely Different Movie instead of Black Man He Is Close Friends With #MUCHTOTHINKABOUT
@antibaseline twt users will see people discussing racism and misogyny in a fandom for a white guy and act like they’re being personally victimized for being a fan of the white guy
if you are a gay guy in whatever fandom and for some reason believe that "i am not attracted to women, so i dont care about any fanwork including them" is a reasonable stance to have, you really need to re-examine that.
@starry_Colette there are only 56 more works for carl/grace than there are for colt and his almost-murderer, and there are four times as many works for tom/grace than there are for carl/grace !!! this has everything to do with racism
highkey why i don’t like bloodymary. yall would rather ship grace with someone from a different movie rather than a black man that he HAD CHEMISTRY WITH!! HE LITERALLY THOUGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN A THING WHEN HE WOKE UP!!!
so much social interaction discourse on here is people resenting being put in positions where they could be perceived as being anything less than morally upstanding. they don’t want to tell you no bc they think they’ll look like an ass, so they decide you’re rude for even asking
@CoffeeandIrony where in the tweet did i say they were saints? the point is none of them are these one-note cartoonishly evil villains people like to paint them as. they all have moments of cruelty and selfishness as well as selflessness and kindness. it’d be a boring show if they didn’t
THANK YOUUU exactly this!! “maturing is realizing lorelai was the real villain-“ “maturing is realizing rory was the real villain-“ “maturing it realizing-“ SHUT UPPP maturing is learning how to engage with complex well written female characters without robbing them of all nuance
YES!!!!!! The show is about complicated family dynamics and the cognitive dissonance of loving your parents (your mother specifically) and wanting to accept their love while battling with the way they often make you feel. And vice versa for the parents.
once again people are so obsessed with “liking” main characters they have no interest in plot or character development 😭 emily, lorelai & rory are mirrors of each others’ pride, stubbornness, wit, vanity, & principles. also rory/lorelai are never in stable rs at the same time
It's kinda sad that we lost our ability to do just that. So much of the favorite female tv characters we grew with were nuanced. That's why they were interesting and became iconic. We didn't love them bc they were perfect. I hate how ppl watch tv these days
