we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

feluka

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no "i'm just a girl tee-hee" stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

feluka

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative

I decided to sit down and concentrate and properly write the list of rules that qualify a character for this role.

  • FIRST LAW: This character must be a woman.
  • SECOND LAW: This character must be a loser, but not in a way that can be pinned on her gender. Misogynistic response from the audience does not disqualify the character.
  • THIRD LAW: If the audience does not enjoy this character, then it becomes impossible to enjoy the show/film/book/game altogether. It is not possible to ignore this character, for better or for worse.
  • FOURTH LAW: The character must make bad decisions, and not just be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control. The character can also be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control, but it has to be primarily her personal choices that deem her a loser.

There's a TERF infestation in the notes. I can't personally go bug spray them all so:

  • FIFTH LAW: The work and its author must not be transmisogynistic.

my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

Apparently the US have been detaining European greencard holders, upon their return to the US after travels. Some have been deported to their countries of origin, some are held in prison in the US.
A French man has been rejected entrance into the country over him having messages on his phone criticial of Trump, he was sent back to France after overnight detention.
A German woman with a tourist visa was equally rejected and send back after overnight detention without access to her medication.


As of yesterday Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland and Canada have revised their travel guidelines for the US.
This includes warnings over being denied entry despite a visa, detention and the US no longer recognizing the X gender marker in passports.

For the first time, the UN has advised all staff in New York to carry their UN IDs and copies of passports and visas at all times in case of being stopped by authorities. This precaution is due to increased scrutiny by U.S. immigration authorities under the trump administration, even affecting those with legal residence status.
