Feminist writers have been a plague on fantasy TV adaptations for a while now and their shitty, ideologically motivated writing often manifests in a very jarringly obvious way. Alicent from House of the Dragon's probably the best example of lead writer Sarah Hess' butchery of the show, but a much more subtle example that illustrates just how bad feminists' blindspots toward male fantasies makes them for fantasy storywriting is the wifeguyifying of Corlys Velaryon.
Corlys' wife, Rhaenys, dies heroically in a dragonfight against Aegon and Aemond, and Corlys commemorates her by renaming his eponymous ship, the Sea Snake, after Rhaenys. Seems like nothing out of the ordinary, right? But it's character assassination of the highest order rooted in a stereotypically female ignorance of male fantasy as well as the sheer range of character archetypes that male fantasy fans relate to or admire.
Corlys doesn't rename the Sea Snake after his deceased wife in the book. Nor would he, because that's literally WHO HE IS. He is the legendary sailor who's sailed to places nobody from Westeros ever did, brought back treasures and exotic beasts and artefacts and hunted pirates. He becomes the Sea Snake at a young age and this identity is what sets him aside from the rest, the ordinary. It's who he is before his marriage to Rhaenys and it's who he remains even afterward.
And one excellent example of how his identity as the Sea Snake takes primacy over his marriage is the fact that he fathers his two bastards Alyn and Addam AFTER marrying Rhaenys. Because one of the "perks" of being a man of stature in a fantasy world like Planetos is that many women crave your seed, and you have many women to bed. And it's alpha and cool and stuff.
Men invented the fantasy genre with their boyhood/adolescent daydreams about fantastic knights, barbarians, pirates and what not. Corlys Velaryon is a good man, but he's not some knight in shining armor from the European chivalric tradition whose life purpose becomes his madame/partner/wife. Women like Hess cannot fathom this because they're just gynocentric as hell.
Since Sarah Hess is a boneheaded feminist, she thinks Corlys' defining trait is not that he's the Sea Snake, but... Princess Rhaenys' supportive husband. Like a boomer or millennial wifeguy from our world.
He hasn't been done as dirty as Alicent but oh boy was this a horrendous scene lol.

It's quite baffling how useful right wingers/cuckservatives have been as a weak opposition for feminism; you see how openly misandrist most feminism is and then wonder how their entire case against it is just bleating "DURR FEMINISM MAKE WOMAN WORK" over and over again lol

It's always funny when "right-wing"/"traditionalist" women let their masks slip and reveal themselves to just be cryptofeminist misandrists. Which is weird because the rw niche gives them ample space to indulge misandry as long as they just frame it in a "mEn aRe WEaK NoW" way😄
Ngl, this whinefest about the suffering of boys and young men probably hasn't made anyone more sympathetic towards them.

Feminists answering their questions without realizing it gotta be a meme at this point. When guys create things, they're universally enjoyable by everyone. Not always the case with female authors.
Feminist discourse will always prove why giving power to feminists always leads to "gender cleansing" attempts against males. Their gibberish Patriarchy nonsense tells them men are innately privileged. Needs to be a riposte to feminism in the creative world, and fast.
Tangential but equally important observation: notice how *proudly* the husband shares his wife's vile misandry toward literal children. Like the Millennial Wifeguy trope come to life. These dudes followed their boomer predecessors' footsteps in simphood and gynocentrism.
Calling young boys “would-be incels” for gravitating toward books like this, with what I presume is zero irony and complete seriousness, is some of the darkest shit I’ve seen in a while. It’s repulsive.

The British left their sprawling giant colony British India. Testament to the fact that it was never a singular unified entity, it split along communal lines. Simple.
Meanwhile, Zionists conducted an ethnic cleansing of Palestine's Arabs - yes, before the 1948 War. Not the same.
Why is Pakistan’s legitimacy never questioned but Israel’s is? They were created around the same time under the same circumstances.
7,000,000 Hindus were displaced. The “Nakhba” was 700,000 but Palestinians won’t shut up about it.

Insightful tweet but with one massive, glaring error: not only are these young men NOT cuckservatives, their piercing of the cuckservative paradigm and realization that it's just 21st century bugman life repackaged as traditionalism is one of the best things about them.
Actually makes perfect sense that conservative goyim are identifying with Anakin. Resentful young man critical of the elites gets successfully deceived by an elderly politician to sustain the boomer empire responsible for all the problems he was originally frustrated with

Indians, Iranians, Arabs, Afghans, they all do this shit so much xD
Indians often perceive themselves as paler than they really are.
A client complimented my blond hair at a work lunch, and my (very dark) Indian colleague chimed in with “I was blond when I was younger.”
It's hard to convey how odd this came across to the client.

Wоmеn using Darwinism as an excuse for destructive socio-sехuаl trends that benefit them obviously parallels industrial-era capitalists rationalizing the abhorrent conditions of workers while neither actually understands how Darwinian natural selection works.

Okay but you have your PayPal and venmo posted in your bio begging for handouts like a fucking bum while that man is actually working LMAOOO 😂
Fun fact I've never seen reported anywhere and only stumbled across myself because I had the context needed to connect the dots: in late 2002 Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency the Mukhabarat compiled a 53 page report based on old Ottoman-era manuscripts titled "The Emergence of Al-Wahhabiyyah Movement and its Historical Roots". The agency alleged that Ibn Abdul Wahab was a Donmeh Jew, of the famous Jewish sect that lived in the Ottoman Empire.
In 2019, Edwin Shuker, an Iraqi origin Jew and the Vice President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told an audience at a Jewish festival about his role in the whisking away of ancient Babylonian-era Jewish manuscripts - Torahs, Talmuds and all that - from the flooded basement of the Iraqi Mukhabarat's headquarters during the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Shuker was on the phone with his friend Harold Rhode, a Jewish official in the US Pentagon who was present with the invasion forces as they found the Jewish archives in the Mukhabarat building. Rhode told Shuker about what he found as he arranged a special "rescue" operation for the Jewish archives to have them taken away to the US.
Rhode was one of the Jewish neocons who'd set up the Office of Special Plans (OSP) in the Pentagon, which was 1 of the chief sources of the bogus claims about Iraqi WMDs like the yellowcake uranium purchases from Niger hoax and chemical weapons labs under Saddam's palace etc to frame Iraq and get it invaded like Israel had been asking for for decades (Oded Yinon/Clean Break Strategy approach). That he was keeping a personal friend like Shuker who wasn't even a US citizen let alone US official in the loop about such a sensitive operation was just a continuation of his commitment to Jewish interests.
Among the Jewish archives taken was also that intelligence report on the Jewish roots of the Wahabi movement. Zionists like Rhode and Shuker would definitely not want material like that going public, just like they probably wanted to hide the ugly contents of the Talmud and other Jewish documents from the general public.
Hey @doctor_rahmeh I thought I'd tag you in this since you seem to have been praising Wahabism of late. GCC money I wonder? I wonder if British Jewry lays off of you because of this service. Although I wouldn't expect that to last long.
Things that never happened - men defending rapists
Things that happened - women donated 1M$ to a criminal who killed 3 toddlers just bcz she was a "Women"

JUST IN: Deadly train crash in Spain after a critical safety failure.
Netanyahu previously warned Spain it would “pay a price” for standing against Israel.
@grok, did an Israeli cyber firm recruit Spain’s former railway infrastructure chief?
Start with YES NO
