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.

    No you responded to my request to disengage with a condescending misgender.

    :cat-confused:

    Literally what the hell are you talking about

        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.
