Every single post with a woman immediately results in a 50 long comment thread of gooners going “lol I’m jorkin muh penus”

And now they have gifs

I am grateful for this sites strict no horny posting policy

    When I’m watching a tv show for the first time I like to read discussion threads after each episode, esp if the show is older and I don’t have anyone to talk to about it. The easiest ones to find are reddit threads, they show up at the top of the search pretty much every time and there’s usually lots of discussion. People say some interesting things but the one pervasive aspect of all these reddit TV discussions is absolute misogyny. If there’s a femme character that people find irritating (usually for bad reasons), believe me you will HEAR about it all through the comments. And the same ire is almost never extended to masc characters who share the same traits. Oh they really hate children too, if there’s a child acting like a child on a show redditors automatically HATE them, especially if the character is a teenage girl.

        Wild to see this comment because my wife and I were watching season 1 and harping on how Skyler was right most of the time.

          Between her and Betty Draper, I was absolutely confused when I heard people were hating them. “Did we watch the same show(s)?” I’d ask, looking around at comments on whatever website. The only things they did wrong are thinking their husbands were acting in their families’ best interests or not being complete pieces of shit.

          Skylar especially couldn’t leave because Walt may very well have her killed if she tried. By the end of the show, I doubt Walt even cared about his kids except as extensions of himself. And all Skylar knows is Walt was involved with her brother-in-law’s murder. What even is she supposed to do in that situation?

          Subtext is for cowards I guess.

            “Did we watch the same show(s)?”

            This is my exact reaction when I read that shit, it makes me feel like the detractors aren’t actually engaging with the art in front of them. They’re just weaponizing it against whoever the “other” is at any given time without actually thinking about what they just watched
