Honestly a lot of shortsighted or limiting interpretive lenses break down when you try to translate them into actual writing advice, to the point that it can be a pretty good test of the lens, like
“villains should never be humanized” I mean sure, if you want to make all your antagonists cartoonishly evil-for-evil’s-sake cardboard cutouts you can, but when you have to live with that antagonist and stay interested in them yourself for the full length of a project like say, an original novel, you may feel differently about that.
“you should only write about the kind of characters you are uniquely qualified to write about” sure, right up until you need to populate an entire fictional universe in a way that feels actually representative of humanity. (There’s something to be said for leaving certain kinds of narratives to authors who’ve experienced them, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t going to need to write characters who aren’t like you.)
“conflict between these two characters means one of them must be abusive toward the other” please try to write a full-length original novel with no conflict between any of the “good” characters and come back and let me know how that goes.

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fur tires
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweethave some soft herbs

Anonymous asked: So, because there hasn’t been a super hero movie with a female star in a long time, they want to segregate men? Yep, that’ll show them! Make it so you get half the money you typically would. Sexist logic. And yet, if the rolls were reversed and theaters stated they were refusing to sell tickets to women for movies like John Wick so that men could have a "Men's Only Showing", then hardware stores would have all their pitchforks and torches bought up in an instant. But please, give us your excuses
You sound like a meninist. thats how stupid your logic is. You cant let women have ONE NIGHT. It’s a movie about a woman in power so to help promote it, alamo drafthouse is empowering women for ONE NIGHT. Get off your high fucking horse. if it’s such a big fucking deal for you to see it at that time, go to a different fucking theater you motherfuck. Like, legit, do you even care about the movie or do you just wanna complain that we get to have something for ourselves for a little while? And before you send another stupid ask, that was a rhetorical question. I do not actually give a shit what you want.
