Thank you, questioning what I watch happens to be one of my superpowers ha ha 😎completely missed that part…
Then maybe You are my glory (C), do do la la sol (K) has some sadness but lots of fluff, 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii (J) are all pretty fluffy.
Thank you, I completely understand your reaction to CLOY, For me that scene was maybe a tad triggering and reminded…
Not even a line its more like a mess... and what starts innocent caring can easily (not this case) become controlling. I guess I am trying to say that it is complicated on the one hand she probably needed this, he could not enforce it physically, and it was his solution to the lack of ways to communicate between north and south. What I question is how free her choice to follow his really is, will she feel guilty if she does not follow his instructions? Or will she follow them purely out of the feeling of this is what I need to do, I am so happy there is a person out there who cares for me, I chose to do as it says. I think there may be some of both present in this. But it really is not simple. And that is where the consent comes in, what hold does he have on her, did she give him her consent to rearrange her apartment or was it imposed on her. Is he using a psychological hold on her to impose his idea of what is good for her. Is she consenting to this by choosing to follow what he wrote? Do you understand where I am going with this or did I just make this even more complicated than the subject is?
Love this Shiro! I was reading an article today in my region, about how Korean feminists are boycotting "Squid…
Thank you, questioning what I watch happens to be one of my superpowers ha ha 😎completely missed that part in Squid Games, I did not analyze it to much while watching but besides having a higher ratio of men there the women in it where diverse, and shown as complex human beings. The drama did show some of societys misogyny as well, talking about women being so called week while showing the opposite... Okay I may remember more than I thought.. still rather then boycott watch responsibly 😉
i was waiting for this article but the CLOY reference where he wrote her instructions, i didnt understand why…
Thank you, I completely understand your reaction to CLOY, For me that scene was maybe a tad triggering and reminded me of a light version of a person trying to control another person. I should probably have worded it differently since I really had a hard time with that one and wanted to show that what is caring and what is controlling is really not that simple. As well as mention that people can be controlled even without a person being present, but I do not think there is definite conclusion to weather it was all caring or controlling.
First of all i loved your article. But after reading it , i have a few things to ask. First of all , why this…
Great, keep those questions coming, that is actually one of the best parts of writing these!
1. Why revenge porn is even a thing is complicated and has both to do with double standards, good old fashioned sexism and how women's bodies and shame has been used to control women for a very long time. In many societies it will be shameful for a man to be a so called virgin while women are taught to keep their chastity with such words as who will buy the cow if they get to drink the milk for free and any kind of show of interest in sexual activities may be viewed as promiscuous which has negative connotations. This is ofcourse horrible for both sexses, men who do get sexually assaulted find it even harder to speak up because as a man the idea of not always being open for business is outside the norm. Sorry if I am making this more complicated. In simple words it has to do with how society view women as opposed to how they view men, as the guy said in law school, no one will notice me on there I will be deemed a hero while your life will be ruined...
2. I understand your point, I was trying to show that it is not always clear what is controlling or caring, this one I my self am not sure of but there can be a psychological hold (I am not saying there was one here) that can also be used from a far making it hard to delete or just throw the notes away. But you do make a valid point, and I will not argue about it.
3. I am happy to read that you got pissed off, more of that please!
4. Well said, it does not have to be something huge!
Have a nice whatever time it is where you are and feel free to ask more or just do like you did here, tell me where you disagree, it is thru these encounters i grow too.
Another insightful and compelling read, thank you for this very fascinating write-up! You're developing a knack…
Thank you, I have a slightly over analytical brain, my most annoying as well as greatest quality if I may say so myself the upcoming articles in editing are slightly lighter and more humoristic tackling such controversial subjects as umbrellas, pets and anger among other things😉 I hope you will enjoy thise too. But I may just write a few more of these as well. see you around!
Wow, your articles are just wow! Insightful and makes you question what we’re being fed through entertainment.…
Thank you for those words , and thank you for editing some of my articles as well, you editors are so important here 😊 Me and Kie mention a little bit more about domestic abuse and some of its problems in our piece on marriage part 2, but what you write here is important, The magical start that traps you, that is why I wanted to stress that we should not judge thos people who do fall for the wrong guy, and to seek help even though I know many societys lack good safety nets,support systemss and resources for this.
Your point about Crash Landing on You seems like a reach to me, but I agree with your other points (well, about…
Thank you, Ill write the same respons I just wrote further down (after you wrote this) I can see your point I really had a hard time with that one and wanted to show that what is caring and what is controlling is really not that simple.
Woww the efforts it must've taken to create all these gifs and write such a detailed article! Amazing!!Btw Shiro…
Thank you for noticing my efforts 🤭 I can spend anything between a week and several months going back and fourth writing, collecting material, screenshots etc. So yes it takes time. For the kissing section I probably spent a whole day just researching kisses (My memory is not as good as it looks like) it was so much fun. Lilac also helped me out and made a few of the gifs. But I don't know the exakt amount of time. I had fun writing this, making and choosing between the gifs and am pretty pleased and proud of the result. So it was worth every minute ❤
Great article! I also like how you're not bashing anyone for enjoying any of these dramas but pointing out what…
Thank you, I can see your point too, I really had a hard time with that one and wanted to show that what is caring and what is controlling is really not that simple.
It’s really all about where the power lies and how this is maintained, isn’t it. I have recently reviewed…
This is so very complicated it is hard to know where to start and it is easy to get discouraged. There is also internalized sexism as well as the problem that people who lack awareness often gain more on an individual level by siding with the opressors. But by raising awareness things can sloooooooooooooooooowly change.
