Let’s talk misogyny and LGBTQ+ dynamics in EE: What’s real and what’s exaggerated?

Hey everyone. I’m working on a video essay focusing on Eastern European societal attitudes;specifically regarding women’s roles, misogyny, and LGBTQ+ acceptance. ​I don't want textbook statistics, I want your lived experience and honest opinions: ​–Where do you think Eastern European society currently draws the line between "traditional family values" and plain, aggressive misogyny? –​How do people in your country actually react when someone comes out or presents alternative/queer, versus how politicians claim "the public" reacts? ​–What is a specific societal bias people in our region hold that they refuse to admit is toxic? ​–For women living in Eastern Europe: what’s one thing about gender dynamics here that Westerners completely misunderstand?

For the "what bias do you hold?" Idk man, I'm a feminist young lady from Moldova from a conservative traditional family who believes in equality and love is love.

Stay safe out there, yall <3

I DO NOT REMEMEBER THE FANDOM AND FRANCHIZE TO BE SO FREAKY

First i found this on Pinterest, THE IN THE SAME NIGHT (LAST NIGHT) I STARTED READING DIA LOVERS DARK BRIDAL TRANSLATION AND I WAS ON SHU'S ROUTE AND >!THERE WAS THAT ONE SCENE WHERE YUI ASKS HIM WHAT MUSIC HE LISTENS TO AND ITS... *WOMEN IN PLEASURE* AND OH MY GOD...!<

I used to think the anime miscaracterized the characters but NO, THEY MADE THEM LOOK MORE INNOCENT IN THE ANIME...

(at the same time I'm not surprised, I do remember some rather worse scenes back when I played...)

Suggesting animes for a Slavic mom?

Heyaa people! So, I would like some recommendations for me and my mum to watch. It's a bit hard cuz we're from Moldova (a Slavic country) and ever since she found out that I watch anime (which was like, 4 years ago) she says its craziness and dumb things and believes in all stereotypes of sorts. Yesterday idk what we were talking abt and then im like "you need to watch some with me some of them are actually good!" and she was like "uh-uh" in a sarcastic was but she kinda gave in. I accept both movies and series. I think I could choose Violet Evergarden. I thiught abt ghibli movies too but I feel like she would get it that im doing it just to get her to this type of media and I dont wanna be forced. (Also what do you think would happen if I introduce her to Bungo Stray Dogs or Moriarty the Patriot? I thought abt the third one in the triangle, which was Vanitas No Carte, but naah I remember some... interesting scenes so no. maybe the other two?)
