Where was the rape joke? It’s been a few years since I last watched AOU, but now I need to know so I can point it out to people.
okay, so i saw a post on my dash about the aou scene with thor and tony, and i obviously didn’t want to comment on the post, so i’m writing my piece here.
age of ultron was trash. that movie was garbage and joss whedon and his mannist bullshit perpetuated most of that movie. otherwise, we wouldn’t have so much sexism, so much deterioration of characterization, so much alpha masculinity between the superheroes.
tony making a rape joke. in which universe would tony stark make a rape joke????
thor (a god) lifting a human up by his neck in front of his friends and his friend’s lack of reaction.
natasha’s entire arch with bruce
all of these scenes illustrate just how much joss whedon doesn’t understand the character’s he’s writing. he wants a macho showdown between thor and tony (parallel to his first movie), he wants macho men all sitting around and laughing at rape jokes, he wants minimize natasha’s entire character into being a broken mary sue because she can’t have kids (because adoption doesn’t exist).
joss whedon is trash, his writing is trash, and every problematic thing that happened in aou is joss whedon and thanos looking ass.
it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
you can only reblog this today.

So, Americans. As a British person, I'm so, sincerely sorry for all the atrocities we've committed towards your country (And towards every other country as well. Sorry for all the British atrocities), and I'm so, sincerely sorry about the situation in your country right now, but, uh... Our prime minister looks vaguely like Trump and to be honest, is starting to act like him as well. Things are going to shit. Tips, please?

Request: “Hey could I get another request I loved your other one so yeah umm maybe the Avengers are having a movie night watching supernatural and Tony decides to see if summoning a demon is real and he summons the reader who’s the queen of hell and they find out the supernatural world like Sam and Dean and Cas and Crowley and stuff are real”
Warnings: none :)
A/n: holy crap, my first cross-over fic. it really sucks.
“Tony, this isn’t gonna work.” Steve sighed.
Tony shrugged, mixing together the different strange ingredients. “I may be a man of science, but I do enjoy screwing around. Who knows, maybe it’ll work.”
“Dude. It’s just a TV show.” ]

As you probably know, Punish A Muslim day is coming up on the third of April. Any Muslim who lives in England is in danger so please stay home. Don’t send your children to school. DON’T GO OUT on the 3rd of April. My non Muslim friends, please reblog this, one of your followers could benefit from it.
So like imagine Torchwood but in 2018 where the team like to make memes of each alien they find and see who can make the best one.
Or the team bringing Jack along with them to a pride parade because he’d never been to one before as they never had them in the 51st century. (Plus decorating the hub with bisexual flags during pride month!)
Tosh and Ianto creating an alien spotting website whilst they’re drunk but the pictures are dubbed ‘too realistic’ and no one believes them.
Owen sometimes texting the Torchwood group chat in entirely emojis just because he can and because Tosh secretly finds it cute.
Tosh and Ianto having multiple conversations on different message apps whilst still managing to get work done to the others dismay.
‘Torchwood outside the government, beyond the police and without decent signal seriously who thought an underground base was a good idea?’
The team actually communicating and opening up with each other so they can work better together and get to know each other as friends not just work colleagues!!!
Gwen coming up with the ship names Janto and Towen and always trying to set them up together so she can finally take them all on a triple date with her and Rhys.
POSITIVE BISEXUAL REPRESENTATION WHERE THEY ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITIES 💗💜💙
Owen having a secret Instagram page for all his plants because they’re his children and they all have names and deserve love too!
I just miss Torchwood :(
RIGHT. So. I just noticed something, and I have nowhere else suitable to put my opinion, so... here.
Society glamourizes alcohol/drinking far too much, really???
I was just looking at Mother’s Day cards (I know, I know) and I noticed that a good portion of them - at least half - involve alcohol, drinking, or wine in some way. It’s honestly a little disturbing. Alcohol is literally poison. Getting drunk is the effect of getting poisoned. Millions of people get addicted to alcohol/die from alcohol addiction every year, and even more have their lives disrupted from the addiction or death from alcohol poisoning of a friend or family member. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of death whilst in a vehicle. Alcohol causes all sorts of diseases and health effects. All of this happens, and we’re encouraging our mothers, our fathers, our children, our siblings, and our peers to drink alcohol... for what?
Drinking doesn’t have a practical use. So, for what?
Fun?
Alcohol, a literal poison, is legal in almost every country, whilst weed/marijuana, a completely harmless plant, is still widely criminalised. The general population of many countries are drinking alcohol, getting themselves addicted, and draining their funds dry on alcohol, all on the reg, because they’re so bored that literally poisoning themselves seems like fun. And society lets it go on, unchecked, because that’s the way it’s always been. It’s time that something changed.
I’m not saying that moderate drinking if you like the taste of alcohol is a bad thing. If you legitimately enjoy the taste of alcohol, drink in small amounts. That’s fine. But if that’s not the case, please change.
If you’re a parent drinking because of your kids, don’t. Learn to discipline them properly, and that kids are noisy and messy and imperfect.
If you’re going out to bars or pubs every night for fun, don’t. Get a hobby, or start a new project. Even just sitting in front of the TV is better than drinking.
If you’re addicted, or think you might be... seek help. Go to rehab. Get rid of your alcohol, and don’t buy more. Get rid of friends who might encourage you to start drinking again.
Society glamourizes alcohol, and it’s time to make that stop. Please, don’t glamourize alcohol and drinking. It ruins lives just as much as drugs, or smoking, or sex addiction. Spread the world. Stop! Glamourizing! Alcohol!
That’s all. To whoever’s reading this, good luck, and have a great day. :)
