Get Your Rifles, Boys & Girls - It's Hunting Season

[livejournal.com profile] autoschismatic  has an amazing and absolutely dead-on article about Kishimoto and his kunoichi and the problems therein. This has also brought all the misogynics to the yard.

Basically, they're saying, 'so what if Kishimoto is sexist? It's just shonen manga, it's made for boys anyway (implication: it doesn't matter if boys are taught that women are less than), you're just thinking too hard about this.'

As I'm sure you can all imagine, I look that as meekly as Maka would, because everyone knows that girls can't be kickass in shonen manga lololol.

It pisses me off too, only I dont have the energy (or the time) to participate in a rage war with a bunch of ignorant, ass-backwards hypocrites. A lot of my fandom friends and acquaintances are all over this though, and I love that. XD

Honestly what makes me rage more than all the male asshattery in that thread is the female asshattery. Nothing is worse than a misogynistic woman.

Oh, god, I know! It's like, it's one thing if you don't want to fight the good fight, but have the brain to get out of MY way when I'm going to bat for YOUR RIGHTS.
