Misogyny on the Harry Potter sub is crazy. Everyone bending over backwards to villainize Hermione while defending Ron, James, Snape, Sirius, Draco, and every other dickhead in the series, ten bajillion “Umbridge is worse than Voldemort” posts and comments…this is why I stay away from fandoms.
And then a braindead post about Hermione being an insufferable, close-minded know it all today…yeah, I think you tend to seem like a “bossy know it all” when you’re the most intelligent, capable witch of your age and no one listens to you. Also calling her sadistic and cruel when she:
1: Manages to shut up a journalist whose entire career centered around discrediting, bullying, and lying about a teenage boy, half-humans who never harmed anyone, and an elderly man. Rita Skeeta stalked children for tabloid stories, ruined careers, and spread disinformation that massively delayed any widespread action against fucking wizard hitler.
2: Jinxes another student who sold out dozens of her peers, including her friends, to Dolores Umbridge, an actual sadistic freak who routinely tortures children. It’s fucking acne, Marietta will get over it.
3: Is jealous because the boy she likes is going out with someone else and being an insensitive asshole to her…? I think pretty much any teenager would conjure birds to peck at their longtime friend turned crush in this situation. It’s not like she fucking castrated him Jesus Christ 😭
And then people saying she’s unempathetic and mean spirited…the girl who wanted to help everyone, to her own detriment…
Hermione, they’ll never make me hate you.
female breasts being censored makes me uncomfortable, female breasts being deemed sexual make me really uncomfortable, people who censor female nipples give me an ick and they give me SUCH an ick that I cannot even tell in words, I deem it a redflag on sight
female nipples being shown only in pornographic context makes me uncomfortable, it makes me fucking angry and sad
A lot of harm could have been avoided if trans activists didn't bully medical and psychological professionals out of doing their job. "Everyone who says they're trans, is trans and should be believed." Well, no. They could be socially influenced They could have emotional problems and trauma They could have body image issues They could be autistic They could be facing adolescent fears and pressures re sex and gender They could have a sexual fetish They could have a pushy parent and be a victim of munchausen by proxy They could need anti-psychotic drugs and mood stablizers They could have a neurological problem that has altered their perception. They could be depressed, BPD, anxious, avoidant, narcissistic Genuinely why did activists just say words they pulled out of their ass and doctors responded with "well, ok" with no further research. That was insane.
something the ddlg community seems to fail to acknowledge is that sexual arousal and orgasms are powerful conditioning tools. if you and your daddy sexualize childlike behavior, children’s innocence and helplessness, childlike speech/baby talk, children’s objects and toys, children’s clothing, etc etc these things will become sexual to you, anyone who’s taken the most basic psychology course can tell you this. your brains will literally begin to associate them on their own with sexual arousal and your “daddy’s” brain and dick will respond accordingly. he might absolutely get turned on seeing a child behaving and dressing and talking the very same way his “little” does simply because he’s used to all of these things being involved when he gets off.
he might not have started out as a pedophile and the two of you may be “consenting adults”, but use your critical thinking for a moment and realize that normalizing this pedophilic dynamic will make you both desensitized to it. the same way continuous exposure to violent porn creates a link between violence and sexual arousal for those consuming it, being turned on and getting orgasms while roleplaying pedophilia will cause a link to form between sexual arousal and childlike. your kink harms children, bye
That’s a woman with short hair, calm down
The oblivion remake is a soulless, ugly piece of crap that completely disregards the vibrancy and whimsy of the original. I will never stop hating it 💯
”I never see you in the club” I never see you having violent meltdowns alone in your room and hitting yourself but ok
redeeming moment for crazy white women everywhere
I think more people on radblr should be talking about sweatshops, especially in the garment industry.
• Around 80% of sweatshop workers are women. Some employers force them to take birth control and pregnancy tests to avoid having to pay for maternity leave. Pregnant women are routinely denied sick leave to visit doctors, terminated from their contracts early, or left without any maternity leave when their short-term contracts are not renewed.
• Women are more likely than men to experience minimum wage violations. According to one study, "30 percent of the women workers in our sample experienced minimum wage violations, compared to 20 percent of the men". [Source: https://www.nelp.org/publication/broken-laws-unprotected-workers-violations-of-employment-and-labor-laws-in-americas-cities/ ]
• Indonesian women employees report that “girls in the factory are harassed by male managers. They come on to the girls, call them into their offices, whisper into their ears, touch them, bribe them with money and threaten them with firing if they don’t have sex with them.” [source: cleanclothes.org]
• "Toilet breaks are monitored, and some workers said they were flat out denied them, even when sick. The same goes for water and lunch breaks, both necessary to stay healthy when working 12+ hour days in a stuffy, overcrowded factory." 20% of women in sweatshops report experiencing sexual violence.

It's easy not to support this kind of abuse. Do not buy clothes first-hand. Only buy from thrift shops and second-hand apps, or find ethical brands and investigate where and how they make their clothing (hint: if a t-shirt costs $3, it's not ethical). Patch your old clothes. Consider learning basic sewing (it's not as difficult as it seems!)
I don't care how cheap Shein and Temu are. I don't care how much you think you need that specific Zara coat. Buying clothes directly harms women and avoiding it is a very easy way to help.
Hard not to respond when someone is spouting the dumbest takes I’ve ever read in my life.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
like i really hope you understand those people really really REALLY believe WHOLEHEARTEDLY that you can escape misogyny and oppression if you try hard enough. and if you can't, that's because of your lack of effort. it is your fault, your individual fault you're oppressed. don't ever think about reaching out to other women and helping each other and fight against sexism together. do NOT gain class consciousness, only think about yourself. you're NOT like those weak women, they deserve the oppression but not you!!!!!!
