On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.
On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.
I am not male, I’m not your “buddy” and I have been raped before. Think before you talk
Curious how everyone who tells me to "disengage" keeps on replying. Very interesting. Wonder why that might be. Could a person be disingenuously trying to weaponize rules meant for making this place safer and less toxic in order to make it less safe and more toxic? :shocked-pikachu:
You first called a rape victim a fan of rape for disagreeing with you, then you refused to disengage and then you misgendered me. I can make a response to this level of shit hurled at me

I would frame it as “I don’t moralize over every fictional account of bad things and blame the author” but you do you.
No you responded to my request to disengage with a condescending misgender. That was you, not me
:cat-confused:
Literally what the hell are you talking about
In response to my clear request to disengage
It was clearly not a genuine request to disengage considering you're STILL REPLYING :bird-screm-2:
I didn't misgender you, I still literally have no idea where you got that from
Buddy is a gendered term, especially when used condescendingly and in the context of basically calling me a rape apologist. You know exactly what you are doing, and the disengage request has already been broken by you trying to get the last word in

Geez, I wonder why the person who was hurt and asked you to stop talking didn't stop talking when you continued to talk. Log off
Pat Nixon is on this list but it's mostly men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_(nickname)
i don't really think of buddy as being gendered but i guess I can see why somebody would
I mean, I guess? I've never heard anyone express the opinion that "buddy" is a gendered term before. My entire life I have heard men, women, and nonbinary people referred to as "buddy" by men, women, and nonbinary people. It's not even like "dude" where it's mostly gendered but can be used in other ways, like it literally just doesn't have that connotation at all for me.

Ok, I mean, three commenters there say it is gendered, three say it is gender neutral. Regardless, you don't need to worry about me calling you "buddy" or anything because I will not be addressing you. Please leave me alone.
