I’ll have the Steven Universe fandom get the Crystal Gems to form Alexandrite so they can crush anyone who questions the SuperWhoLocks, Potterheads, and Fannibals…
if cis women can bulk up and wear baggy pants and crop their hair short and go without makeup or shaving their pits/legs/anywhere else, co-opt traditionally ‘masculine’ behaviors, and still be viewed as women–even praised for how very feminist they are in doing so–then so can trans women. that’s it. end of.
and if cis men who love fashion and florals and pink, and wear dresses and makeup and love to bake, can be comfortable in their masculinity and praised as revolutionary for doing so, then–you guessed it–so can trans men. that’s it. end of.
not one single person on earth has any right to dictate how anyone else pilots their respective flesh suits. not one single person on earth has any right to claim someone is ‘faking’ their gender or performing a gender incorrectly when gender is arbitrary as hell as-is.
People who still illogically prize Beth as the “faultless parent” to Summer and Morty after this episode really need to…. like, I don’t know, recognize that her priorities aren’t her children but herself and maintaining a relationship with her father — both at the expense of her (now ex) husband and kid’s wellbeing.
And yet people dislike Jerry because what? Rick does? Beth does? Because he’s not as intelligent as Rick, because he’s sensitive and emotional? Knows he has problems, that his family has problems, and chooses to confront them instead of pretend they don’t exist?
People dislike Jerry because he basically does/is all the things that was straight up said to be seen as weakness by Rick and Beth in this episode?
Rick/Beth stans will cite the Pluto episode as evidence for Jerry being a bad person/parent, but here’s the glaring difference we learned about Jerry to Beth and Rick: Jerry is capable of owning up to his mistakes, to his mistreatment (conscious or not) of others. He’s capable of apologizing, of taking responsibility for them, and of working to make things better.
But more then that Jerry is not just capable of humbling himself, (bc arguably Rick and Beth are, too, they just don’t if they don’t gain from it) he’s willing.
Jerry tries to be a good parent to his children, which is more then Beth or Rick can say for themselves — especially in light of this recent episode.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
