Anytime I Watch One Of These Incel Coded Movies That Only Portray Male Mental Health With Anger Issues,

Anytime I watch one of these incel coded movies that only portray male mental health with anger issues, I get reminded of Dennis Reynolds and the fascinating decision to give him BPD, the disorder of feeling too much. It's such a fkn fantastic idea that completely strays away from the usual apathy as a solution to anger. And with this new knowledge, the narrative around his character is shifted. Dennis is still an angry misogynistic character but it's explicitly a coping mechanism and an exaggerated facade to try and fit in within this culture.

What is glamorized in bro culture, here it's carefully developed against it. Bro culture strives to have control, to have no-strings attached sex, to be angry and strong and the leader of the house. When it comes to Dennis, he would need the total opposite to truly strive. No control, a meaningful relationship where he feels seen, to feel the totality of his emotions, to not have responsibilities.

For every man in your camp, there are thousands somewhere in the West Indies living under the same yoke, chained in fields, pressed on ships, sold into indenture. When they see a sitting governor protected by His Majesty’s Navy, deposed by an alliance of pirates and slaves, how many consider joining that fight? How many thousands of men will flock to Nassau, join your ranks, and help you defend it?

Can't move on from how Abed keeps track of every classic winger comeback, they were both each other's biggest fan even for all the smallest things

Can't Move On From How Abed Keeps Track Of Every Classic Winger Comeback, They Were Both Each Other's

The way at first they both idolized and worshipped each other until they learned that the other is just as scared as they are, and the worshipping turns to admiration and respect and understanding and true friendship

Nicola Coughlan is the it girl of 2024 but ruining relationships and characters in Bridgerton in order to make her character the sole focus was not the fan service move to make.

1) There's plenty of amazing posts about the absolute horrible writing of Cressida this season. It's so confusing to tell us to root for her in part 1 only to expect us to be happy at her horrible downfall in part 2 with a shitty voice over of Penelope apologizing.

2) I love the writing of Polin's relationship but the final love confession of Colin stands out from all the rest and makes no sense to me. Why would Colin tell Penelope that if he has no dreams, he will be content and happy to be her husband and to love her. What was the point?? The only reason he said that is to flip the gender roles of Portia's sentence when she was telling Penelope that men have dreams. women have husband's. Is Colin's dream being loving his wife supposed to make him a feminist icon? Pen's only wish was partnership, established by her defying Colin's "I'll show you everything" and instead asking him to "teach her". She just wants respect. She kept telling him that his writing is good, why doesn't he genuinely follow that as a passion. It's not a competition, they can both be good? Now it feels like he said "I'll publish my manuscript, and if I succeed I succeed, if I don't it's okay I have my wife." Okay, but you're allowed to keep working on it? You don't have to like, give up? Aim high, aim succeeding. Writing can still be his dream, and he can still love his wife. They can co-exist. Benedict kept saying that love is not finite. Colin can love writing and love his wife. He can work hard on his dream and still support his wife's success with no jealousy.

3) Why did Portia only focus on getting closer to Penelope and not the other sisters. It was literally up to Pen to fund their ball to finally put a smile on Prudence's face. Singling out Penelope like that to shower her with love still outcasts her from the rest of her sisters instead of forging a family bond with all of them.

Cressida losing is not a win, Colin not having dreams is not a win, her sisters not getting motherly affection is not a win. What the fuck.

Always feel bad when I see someone say something like "I don't have a disability but I have [something that is a disability but society doesn't treat like one]"

Migraines. Food allergies. GERD. Vision problems. Skin problems. For people that menstruate, conditions that cause irregular and painful cycles. Those are all disabling. Anything that impairs you from functioning or completing a basic life task without accommodation is a disability. Anything that makes you spend days in bed during a flare up is a disability! Not everyone experiences your symptoms and you're not being weak or whiny.

Mental illnesses that people treat as "mainstream" these days like anxiety, depression, or ADHD are still disabilities. Overcoming a massive struggle just to get out of bed, slow down your thoughts, or focus on what you need/want to do is disabling. Starting the day with less mental energy than most people is disabling.

For the migraine people: yes, everyone gets headaches, but no not everyone gets migraines. It's a condition that can be inherited in which our nerves are literally wired differently and more sensitive than someone who doesn't get migraines.

For the food allergy and digestive disorder people: if you eat something your body can't tolerate, you become sick. Doesn't matter if it's a trip to the ER or skin irritation for a few hours, that's a negative response in your body. Going hungry at social events because you can't eat anything, that's not something you just have to grin and bear. Prohibitively expensive or hard-to-find accessible food. Most people have the privilege of not worrying about eating.

For people with abnormal menstrual cycles: you don't have to suck it up because "lots of people get periods, no one likes them, but they all deal with it." Majority of people who get periods don't spend days in bed with debilitating pain or nausea. Your heightened struggle is real. Going months between cycles can increase your risk of health conditions down the line, and it's good to speak to a gynecologist if you have access to one.

If you are feeling discomfort on a regular basis in any part of your body, or if you usually feel unwell after eating, that isn't normal and you deserve medical attention and support

(returns from the dead with another poll)

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day had the most mixed reaction of any season 16 episode (except maybe FVR--let me know if a poll about that would be something you'd be interested in!) so I got curious; do people like and dislike the episode for the same reasons? Does what you ship and how much you like Dennis affect your opinion, or are there other factors? I wanna know!

The Fandom Takes a Mental Health Day
Google Docs
Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day is one of the most controversial episodes in a while. Do people like it and dislike it for the same reasons

The poll isn't too long--unless you decide to write a dissertation about the episode, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to fill out. But I mean, if you want to write a dissertation on how bad/good it is I'm all ears
