i will never forgive the internet for what it did to the word “mansplain”
mansplaining is a very specific phenomonon wherein a man who is NOT qualified to talk about a topic assumed he knows better than other people who ARE qualified, purely because of sexism.
sharing a fun fact you learned isnt mansplaining. infodumping isnt mansplaining. adding your relevant personal experience to a discussion isn’t mansplaining, (as long as you remain respectful of others’ experiences as well, but that’s always true). correcting someone who is objectively wrong and spreading misinformation REALLY isn’t mansplaining.
stop telling men that all of their interests and attempts at socializing are insulting and unwanted, your gender essentialism is showing.
people in my REAL LIFE i have had to convince i like to hear them talk, really:
trans men talking about their oppression
trans women talking about their oppression
autistic men infodumping
perfectly kind cis men who are answering a question i literally asked, or getting passionate about one of their interests
people who AREN’T self-conscious about this:
men who actually fucking mansplain, oh my god the whole POINT is that they dont care about other people’s thoughts, why do you think whatever this fucking campaign is would bother them
did you ever see that megabloks film from the early 2000s? the one about the dragons? i remember it being cheesy but good and id love to know your take on it
I loved that movie; it’s called Dragons: Fire and Ice! Fun fact, one of my professors apparently worked as a storyboard artist for the movie, so that was pretty fuckin’ cool! owo That said I have no thoughts on it, no; it’s been years since I’ve last seen it and I honestly have no intention on headcanoning it I’m afraid. ;w;
That movie was one of my first experiences in seeing something with a twist villain
Hey I have a question so if Bowsette is Bowser’s sister, then does this mean that Koopa King is also Bowser’s & Bowsette’s dad or grand dad? Or a relative to the Koopa family?
If you’re talking about King Koopa from the animated show, then nah! I actually never considered headcanoning King Koopa since he was basically a different incarnation of Bowser, but I suppose he could possibly be used for like, their grandfather or somethin’. As far as Bowser and Bowsette’s parents goes, I actually did some art of them ages ago:
Brutus Koopa and Ursa Koopa; might give ‘em a redesign since its about a year old, but yeh. owo
