Holy Fappin' Fandom Misogyny, Batman!
Sep. 26th, 2010 12:51 pm[ETA: Kritik has edited his blog post in as a result of the discussion in the comments here. Ergo I now withdraw my objections to his post in light of the fact that his edit is a) directly addressing and challenging the sexist stereotypes that were in his original post and b) kind of awesome. However, in the interest of preserving the discussion itself, I'm leaving my original post unedited and intact below. I stand by everything that I wrote about prostitution and stereotypes thereof, even if I retract any specific accusations against AnimeKritik for repeating said stereotypes. Anywhoo, original post is below.]
Y'know, I'm used to seeing and hearing a fair amount of sexism in the Soul Eater fandom. The amount of misogynistic poo that gets flung at Maka on a regular basis just for daring to be a girl in the starring role of a shounen action series doesn't surprise me anymore.
But Animekritik?
Dude, I seriously thought better of you. I mean, I respected you so much. Until this morning.
( Chapter 78 spoilers, Potentially triggery material, discussion of prostitution and sexual abuse, and swearing behind the cut. )
