nanaleonti:donotchoosesidesyet:rob-anybody:karnythia:brigidkeely:azurewhelp:arcadiasilver:anuminous:Jim Butcher talking about people who do not like the series.My ovaries would collapse in on themselves and then explode into a supernova that would level two small towns.No. Fuck off, Butcher. I’ve gone on long enough on this planet and working in activism to really cringe every time people use bizarre, inaccurate, nerdy and essentialist terms when they could just say “women”Would Hiddleston’s presence be enough to get people to overlook the sexism and racism in the series?Fuck Jim Butcher’s bigoted bullshit series.You already had a TV show, and it was ten times better at minority representation, consent issues, and feminism than any of your fucking books.Sit down and shut the fuck up, Jim Butcher.Jim Butcher is a fucking hack writer who somehow has convinced himself he’s a great writer.Like, literally, when I am feeling down and I don’t want to write anything and the words won’t come, I think to myself: at least I am better than Jim Butcher.Fucking misogynistic racist who loves sidelining his characters with gross ableist rhetoric. Butcher is like the fucking symbol of every bad genre writer.No, you are not better than Jim Butcher. No TDF is not racist/bigoted/sexist. GTFO mah tumblrOh, really?Do we want to discuss the fact that TDF purports itself to be a love letter to Chicago in many ways but the cast of the books is almost entirely white despite Chicago being a predominately PoC population? Or that time Butcher described in…. Dead Beat, IIRC, a shady scary neighborhood that IRL isn’t shady or scary, it’s just predominantly PoC?Do we want to talk about how Michael was treated, how one of the most powerful characters in the story became fucking useless because of a chronic injury, and how ableist that is?Do we want to talk about Proven Guilty, the book where Molly repeatedly and consistently sexualized by Harry even though he’s literally known her since she was a baby? Or maybe the final sequence, where Harry lets Molly think she’s going to reward him in a fucking blowjob only to dump ice cold water on her and presume to tell her how to handle her sexuality?Do we want to talk about the White Court Vampires, who by their natures cannot have consensual sex with people, being repeatedly glamorized by the narrative?Do we want to talk about Cold Days? Do we? The book where the fucking protagonist thinks about overpowering and raping nearly every woman he comes across because Butcher is such a fucking hack he can’t think of a way to describe a character’s morality struggles without the cheap gross shortcut of “now he wants to RAPE HIS FRIENDS!” Or how for the fucking tenth time in the fucking series, Molly’s agency is taken from her because GOD FORBID THAT FUCKING GIRL MAKE ANY OF HER OWN DECISIONS.Do we want to talk about the gross racism in Changes? That Lea fucking dressed Harry up like a fucking Conquistador as he fucking genocided an entire species?Or how about all the homophobic bullshit in the series, like Thomas inexplicably being straight and bemoaning all the dudes hitting on him. Or Dresden telling Martin he looks sorta gay. Or that time Dresden put on a fucking homophobic charade to convince everyone he was Thomas’ lover only to turn to the camera and go BUT HOMOPHOBIA IS BAD GUYS REALLY.Or how about the latest book, where Butcher apparently fucked over Murphy for the fucking fourteenth fucking time and GAVE BUTTERS THE SWORD. Yes because it’d be a fucking tragedy to have a female character in this series that was actually in charge of their own story instead of all the mens taking care of things.Shut the fuck up, your favorite is problematic and pretending they aren’t doesn’t make it go away. -- source link
