Honestly Sylkie Is A Caricature Of Everything Wrong With A Lot Of (canon) MCU Romances. The MCU Has This

Honestly Sylkie is a caricature of everything wrong with a lot of (canon) MCU romances. The MCU has this bizarre desire to add a seuxal subtext to literally every m/f relationship, even if it makes sense or not. 

Like Steve and Sharon. Objectively a fine pairing in the comics. But in the MCU? It’s so gross. If we are to believe that Steve was always there and was always Peggy’s husband, then that means that he just kissed his niece. A child he would see born, grow up, and mature. HE KISSED HER. 

This is the same weird relationships that color Sylvie and Loki. Calling her Sylvie doesn’t make them any less related. They have the same parents. They have the same DNA, bloodlines, and lives. They are more than related. It’s gross on every level. 

Nat and Bruce are another example. There was no need to add that romance. It was just the idea that Nat was existing near men which means she needed to have a romance with one of them. Even if he’s a lot older. Even if they have no chemistry. Man + Woman = Romance. The lack of diversity creates a lazy writing environment. It’s assumed that the relationships makes sense, because he’s a man and she’s a woman. It doesn’t need to be more than that. 

Sylkie is the exact same way. She’s female presenting, He’s male presenting, therefore it’s romantic. Not matter how they’re related. 

It’s lazy, it’s gross, and I’m so over it.

This reminds me when book of life was rejected by Disney but as soon as it was successful they created Coco >:l

also :re that last post about white people at disney creating latin american movies. they literally steal the stories from latin american people. i wouldn’t be surprised if encanto was actually made by a colombian person but disney stole the rights to it.

something similar happened with coco. where coco was inspired off of a town and the story of an old woman, and disney didn’t give them a dime.

A friend and I were out with our kids when another family’s two-year-old came up. She began hugging my friend’s 18-month-old, following her around and smiling at her. My friend’s little girl looked like she wasn’t so sure she liked this, and at that moment the other little girl’s mom came up and got down on her little girl’s level to talk to her.

“Honey, can you listen to me for a moment? I’m glad you’ve found a new friend, but you need to make sure to look at her face to see if she likes it when you hug her. And if she doesn’t like it, you need to give her space. Okay?”

Two years old, and already her mother was teaching her about consent.

My daughter Sally likes to color on herself with markers. I tell her it’s her body, so it’s her choice. Sometimes she writes her name, sometimes she draws flowers or patterns. The other day I heard her talking to her brother, a marker in her hand.

“Bobby, do you mind if I color on your leg?”

Bobby smiled and moved himself closer to his sister. She began drawing a pattern on his leg with a marker while he watched, fascinated. Later, she began coloring on the sole of his foot. After each stoke, he pulled his foot back, laughing. I looked over to see what was causing the commotion, and Sally turned to me.

“He doesn’t mind if I do this,” she explained, “he is only moving his foot because it tickles. He thinks its funny.” And she was right. Already Bobby had extended his foot to her again, smiling as he did so.

What I find really fascinating about these two anecdotes is that they both deal with the consent of children not yet old enough to communicate verbally. In both stories, the older child must read the consent of the younger child through nonverbal cues. And even then, consent is not this ambiguous thing that is difficult to understand.

Teaching consent is ongoing, but it starts when children are very young. It involves both teaching children to pay attention to and respect others’ consent (or lack thereof) and teaching children that they should expect their own bodies and their own space to be respected—even by their parents and other relatives.

And if children of two or four can be expected to read the nonverbal cues and expressions of children not yet old enough to talk in order to assess whether there is consent, what excuse do full grown adults have?
