I weirdly like the fact that I can hide my gender when I speak English

My native language is gendered, most adjectives and words for professions have a separate male and female version (and the "male version" is the default one 😮‍💨)

Sometimes I'm scared that if people know I'm a woman people will take me less seriously so being seen as male by default is weirdly comforting for me

Why do people always default to assuming that everyone online is male?

I saw some comments talking about me and they kept calling me a "he" or "this man" when I've never mentioned my gender once

He's not saying that things *also* liked by men are uncool or things *targeted* towards men are uncool. He means that if 50% of the population hates it, it sucks

Remember when a woman made a video game and men got so mad about it that it led to an entire wave of fascism taking over America?

If calling out men on their bullshit and refusing to cover for their behavior makes me a "misandrist" then I don't care

I refuse to let men openly say creepy shit about women, I refuse to let people make excuses for them, I refuse to celebrate male mediocrity, I would rather be a "misandrist" than an enabler

"bUT tHIs shOW gOT 80/100 on meTAcrITIv so yOU ARe noT alLOWed to haTE it" Stans review bombing a show and critics being bribed into glazing a show does not mean that that piece of media is well liked!

If a show is getting a shit ton of hate and criticism online (from THE PEOPLE) or has bad dialogue/writing/animation then no amount of arbitrary numbers will invalidate that fact

Why are stans so sensitive to criticism? Like Miraculous fans constantly make jokes about how much the show sucks so why can't RWBY's fandom be a good sport?

After being yelled at by insane stans so many times, I am so grateful that this sub exists to validate me

I felt like I was crazy for seeing how cringe the dialogue and voice acting was and hearing stans insist that it's good and calling me names for it or getting told by parasocial stans that I'm being too sensitive/"being toxic" when I call out how shitty Rooster Teeth or the people who work there are

I'm so glad that I have this sub to support me <3

I don't like how people act like critics/journalists are the gospel and that their opinions are "objectively" the correct ones

There have been multiple confirmed instances of critics admitting to being bribed or reviewing things positively due to behind-the-scenes politics or to get exclusive access to something

The cult of personality around Rooster Teeth baffles me

The cognitive dissonance they will display to bend over backwards to defend every controversy/misdeed the employees do is quite something, how the fuck did they get such an insanely devoted and parasocial fanbase?

Is there a way to get my old account unbanned?

I kinda of miss my old account, this new account I'm using can't post on a lot of subreddits (I cant post on r/196 anymore)

Why do people automatically assume that everyone online is male?

I saw comments talking about me and they kept saying things like "he" or "this man" even tho I have never said anything about my gender!

Do people not think that women exist here too?
