HELLO! Sorry I’ve Been MIA, School Has Started And I’m Teaching Again And I’m Writing My Dissertation

Touched up a panel from one of my first Douma posts :D

And I have another Amazing Digital Circus comic for the Cougar Macdowall VA Youtube channel!

This one was Cougar's idea. Of course he still made the mistake of letting me write it again.

Check out the comic dub over on the Youtube channel. It's fun and it helps me out! ;P

BONUS:

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months

he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval

a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"

a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position

male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before

lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.

conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.

it feels so good to know that a lot of people either still hate bkg and/or hate how his redemption was written and dont just suck up to his mediocre writing https://x.com/blar_wolf/status/1915288020376310177?s=46

I will be honest I haven't touched Twitter in a while, but it is finally good to see people waking up and critiquing bakugo's character in masses. From the time I used to be on Twitter, there were a few that would call out Bakugo and his horribly written character arc, but most of it was silenced by bakugo stans and the overwhelming support his character continously received.

I do hope that this behaviour continues and people actually critique mha as a whole based on writing quality of horikoshi and not on fandom. Yes, I believe that the fandom should be criticised for their actions but a lot of people have resorted to defending mha by saying that the show is good but the fandom is bad which is false in my opinion since there are unpleasant things in both the story and fandom!
