I'm pretty sure if you're describing children like that first guy you need to be put on a fucking watchlist.
I can pretty much bet that guy is a conservative.
- Has creepy way of looking at tween girls.
- Thinks women in government is tyranny.
- Thinks consent is oppression or else death.
Yaaaaaa. Put him in the 1 in 6 men admit they like kids (in a creepy way) stat. (Yes that is real, I wish it wasn't. This world is...augh.)
Edit: This was a survey in Australia with a group of nearly 2,000 men asked.
@@ErutaniaRosethats awful! especially because thats the number that was up front about it, which leads me to suspect more in that pool could have been more hush hush about being a pedo. Ugh.
Several watchlists need to be involved.
For real. I'm so glad I'm bi and capable of romantically loving a woman and some NB. Just in case I REALLY need to back off any chances of men but still want romance. @@blakewhite3131
The horror book about feminists.... I can't. You can't swap the patriarchy with a matriarchy and expect the results to be the same.
Why not?
@@antmanatthemoment7233 Is that a joke? A matriarchy wouldn't be possessive and controlling, just making sure everyone has equality. I know men are scared shitless we'll get 'revenge' for the countless years women were enslaved and abused (still are), but feminists aren't interested in that at all. Scenarios where women enslave men and treat them how we've been treated are just born from a guilty/paranoid conscious men have.
@@antmanatthemoment7233dommy mommy matriarchy? Or is it just me?
@@jake-lynndobos659 what?
Men thinking women should be allowed to consent is horror in and of itself is the worst most terrifying concept
when it says "her friendly nipples jiggled" i just imagine them wagging like an excited dog's tail, and i hate it.
7:30 So....a dystopia....where a man has to...ask for consent??? WHAT? How is that dystopian???
From the description, one of the "outlaws" were supposed to be following, sounds like he did stuff without asking for consent and is on the run? I'm not sure if I want to be rooting for this particular outlaw....
lol yaaaaaaa. I prefer my outlaws to not be sex criminals. @@KiboSanti
I took the phrase "even if she's willing" to mean the blurb was talking about the government's permission rather than the woman's; however, given how gross the book sounds, I won't say it's an invalid interpretation to disregard the narrator's insistence that the sex the POV character got the death penalty for was _definitely_ 100% consensual, since he sounds like the type of man who includes certain types of "coerced" in the category of "willing".
THIS! Like, I'd HOPE that it's more so a dystopia about requiring permission from the gov for ANY sex, but given the dude...I highly doubt it. I would LOVE to be WRONG. @@awfuldynne
JUST. HOW?
Men are not right in the head 😒
3:15 I’m pear shaped, and I’ve had multiple strangers mostly older women tell me that I have child bearing hips. It’s weird.
As a lesbian I’m such a boob gal, but describing them out of context like that is creepy.
Similarly, I have an hourglass figure and quite wide hips. If someone told me I have child-bearing hips I'd let them know how wrong they are because my hips ain't gonna be bearing nothin' XD
Yep, I have very wide hips.. I have thigh gap despite being overweight. I got this comment a lot from adult women... When I was a teen!
I'm fine with my OB/GYN mentioning my hips won't present issues in childbirth, that's his field and it's relevant. But when its old ladies and I'm 15... hell no
@@nalciel6577my hips aren’t bearing lives tHEY’RE TAKING LIVES
hahaha, "search-and-destroy" hips!
No it's not creepy it's how they talk I'm not creeped out by it grow up
Those "fuck me" shoulder blades are actually modified mantis blades from cyberpunk.
When you see them, you know you're fucked.
7:45 "Men must get permission to make love to any female-even if she is willing-or the penalty is death!"
This broke me. This truly threw me through a loop and broke me. Parley J. Cooper, please build a cabin in the woods far from civilisation and live out the rest of your days writing whatever you want where it will never see a publisher, and you may never see a woman.
That is exactly the kind of self victimization you see in white supremacist literature like the Turner Diaries.
"No one stops the black crime cause they'll be called racist and sent to jail!!!"
And by that they obviously mean they can't form a "citizens militia" and go "defend their town" from "criminals". Like George Zimmerman did, for example.
If the bigot can't be an extremist bigot and abuse an extreme power dynamic... They're being reverse genocided somehow
I read that differently - I read it as "permission from the state" due to the "even if she is willing" thing, but having not read the book that might be so charitable a read you could call be mother teresa.
also my nipples are notoriously unfriendly. Sometimes I'm out with a friend and I'm fine paying, but my nipples are like "Sure, lean on me again..." they can be real asshoels. Which is ironic because my ass can be a real nipple.
I swear I thought that was written now. You would either unironically read that on X or assume Jordan Peterson would say this.
I think you would have a hell of a time looking up Mother Teresa. She was an...interesting...person...
Love your comment btw. @@RPGLover87
@@ErutaniaRose Oh, I'm aware of her more unsavoury aspects like I think she was the one who was against painkillers due to thinking pain was an important part of life due to religious reasons or something.
I remember watching Lavendertowne draw the women the way the men literally described them and omg it was so funny
Pomegranates and rivets?
Omg yes! They were so good lmao
I need to say that one
"her friendly nipples jiggled" WTF IS EVEN THAT?!?!?
Right?! Friendly nipples... what are those? How are they friendly? Do they smile and wave and that's why they're friendly? And the jiggly part... I'm sorry but how does that work exactly?
@@K1k1y0mi LMFAOOO EXACTLYYYYY
This reminded me of some Animes I've watched where the women's boobs seemed to move on their own volition and have minds of their own or something. Watch Hoghschool of the Dead if you want a good laugh.
"Mr and Mrs Smith. We need to talk about your child. The feelings you got from your ovaries were right to concern you. The scans have shown she has inherited your grandmother's, shall we say, unique shoulder blades. But more important than that is the narrowness of her hips. We're worried they will impede adequate circulation to her legs. There's a strong chance she'll never walk, let alone bounce distractingly past a smirking, creepy teacher in her teenage years" the doctor spoke grimly, but his nipples jiggled with a supportive friendliness.
Ha🤪
That last part caught me off guard
😂🤮🤣 im dying not his nipples
This guy gets it, we all love those “fuck me shoulder blades.”
tbh I'm convinced he meant to say "clavicle" and not shoulder blades, because clavicle can at least be sexy lol
@@nalciel6577clavicle is the least sexy word in the dictionary
@@nalciel6577maybe he meant collarbone?
@@tVt2000the word décolletage might work.
@@NettylSpryngs yeah, that's what clavicle is
As someone with cysts and endo and other inflammatory disease, yes, ovaries can be felt. Unfortunately.
But not like that
Just because it is fiction doesn't make it okay. Especially when these people and these scenarios are written as normal. They aren't writing about incest or pedos as a bad thing. They just ARE, and that is a form of normalization. So yeah, problematic.
P.S. If you do find that book, it would make for a good laugh, albeit a traumatic one. I would tune in for that, for sure!
I am faceblind and that is exactly the issue. I can picture certain aspects of peoples faces but not put the whole thing together in my head. It can be very frustrating. I know my friend has blue eyes and a big nose and thick eyebrows but can I imagine their entire face? Absolutely not.
I knew this was a thing that happened to some people,but never actually saw anyone with it.
I find that pretty neat. I always wondered what that would be like. Can't imagine it's fun.
I write really shitty fanfiction, smut, on Wattpad. The furthest extent I go to for a character introduction description is, "a tall guy with curly hair falling into his pale blue eyes." Don't describe people's genitalia unless you're doing a sex scene. That's the only excuse you have.
people nowadays feel that they gotta have an opinion on anything and everything without knowing anything about it, anti-feminist literature is one such prime example of it
I haven't looked into this but I'm pretty sure your reasoning is flawed and the horse is actually called Friday.
For real. I can't even--I get so much anxiety about being wrong about something or being yelled at for it (thanks school and other academic bullies) that I research something as much as I can before fully speaking on it. Yet some people, usually white dudes, have the AUDACITY to just talk about something with no research and then claim they must be right. As if that's how anything works. At best you MIGHT be right and get lucky.
@@jacktadashwhat? I assume a comment got deleted lol
@@andre_the_tiny5872 that's what you think but I know better.
@@jacktadash ahh I see now. Nvm
Imagining if men were described this way. Like a guy talking about his friend's supple limbs to a female character.
everyone would become concerned
"JohnBrownsSuppleBody, his legs were tanking, and that's not the only thing..."
I would be _so_ lost in seconds, cos I don't even know what "supple limbs" actually _are_ - like, what does that even _mean_ ?! 🤔🤨
"I could see the perky outline of his penis through his pants. His friendly bulge jiggled"
"You have to consider my bro over there! I mean just look at those thighs! They are simply ripped. And his calves, the way you can tell how firm they are, even through his thick, cotton pants that he always wears. Oh, and have you seen the man showering at the gym? 'Cause then you wouldn't even need convincing, I mean, come on!" Ahahaha I can't take it seriously anymore. That was my best attempt 😂 it started feeling very gay halfway through and honestly, the woman's description also felt pretty gay, but just in a weird male-gaze kinda way... 😅
@ the second author: "For shame, you wouldn't talk about your mother like that!"
Him: "Well..."
I'm a writer, and I had to pause this video so many times because I could not handle the physical cringe I felt when hearing what these men wrote.
Men do not have enough shame
I work out and some days I definitely think "fuck, me shoulderblades".
About to describe all my friends as having lips like loveapples
I don’t even know what a loveapple is but my homies lips look like them now lmao
Apparently a "loveapple" is a tomato, which somehow makes the image way worse.
@@ouijacorn oh yikes. I am. Not a fan of tomatoes. Also, definitely weird.
However, I do sense a delightful twist given that tomatoes are part of the nightshade family. Could do some fun, edgy, belladonna lip shade stuff there
“You think my lips look like ‘loveapples’? See what they taste like. BOOM. POISON, YOU’RE DEAD”
You can describe the lips of all your enemies as hateapples too :)
@@nalciel6577 I love this
major reasons why I primarily read woman authors 🤦🏻♀
Jane Austen and Danielle Steel suck
@@professorfoxtrotwhenever I hear Jane Austen I just think of a scene from Good Omens lmao
Lol seriously. The last time I picked up a Stephen king book the lead female character describes her own body in the most unhinged, incel way possible I was like, what the actual f did I just read lol.
I feel like the third one is just gay for her friend.
I said that under a different comment
Update: At the time this comment was written, the title was "sir, please stop perceiving women"
Okay, before I actually watch or say anything else, I must say _Ace Attorney_ has ruined me; when I initially read the title, my mind went to Apollo Justice using his 'perceive' ability (which, tbf, would probably be very unsettling if you were to actually see him doing that).
dude help why is ace attorney everywhere i look now
i just started the phoenix wright trilogy last week and now everyone is talking about it everywhere i go
lmao yeah aj has ruined the word perceive for me
@@jinx7641same!! I played the original trilogy and GAA a few months ago and now I'm getting jumpscared by it everywhere (in the best way possible; I'm absolutely in love with the series, I just didn't realize quite how ubiquitous it was until now)
Lmao even the thumbnail looks like phoenix' or edgeworths pointing sprite
I was hyperfixated on Ace Attorney for like 4 years and I still constantly feel like I'm on the verge of slipping back in because every time I think I'm going to eacape, when I have no other special interests, I nosedive right back into the series. 😅
I saw an aggressive post yesterday on r/arethestraightsok that was a man tweeting that men are naturally attracted to 16-18 y/o girls & that 16 y/os should be pregnant not learning algebra 😮
I hate that argument because it’s so easy to prove that teens die way more often during childbirth than adults
4:00 MANY MINUTES LMAO
7:24 Being a proper human being, I assumed that "even if she is willing" meant they had consent and by permission they meant permission from the state, but as you talked about it, I remembered someone who would write this book may have a truly grim idea of what counts as willing. Not that it wasn't already a horrifying book even before I realized that.
Yeah, it does mean permission from the state, but the phrasing is still so 🤮🤮
@@NettylSpryngs So the existence of this book is just nightmarish rather than a horror that will dog my every step for the rest of my life. Good to know! Thanks for the report from the trenches.
@@damejanea.macdonald2371 I mean he's basically saying what if the government had to give us permission to have sex instead of just doing it whenever we want no matter what the woman says... so still quite a disturbing image and an admittance that he thinks women's consent doesn't currently affect whether a man can have sex with her or not but 😬😬 ig still better than saying "oh no, consent is required! Dystopia!"
Hope that doesn't make it too much worse
@@NettylSpryngs Worse, but more accurate, so the clarification is welcome. Still, 🤮
The big rabbit is trying to leave the chat so hard but is being held captive.

I prefer to think these are all horror novels where the guys creeping on literal children end up in jail by the end of the book. Obviously the horror part is the men. The happy-ish ending is them in JAIL!

Petition to nominate this ( 14:29 - 14:45 ) for a “Most Terribly Hilarious Qiwi Out of Context moment” award because 😂😭 I’m in TEARS.
I actually know of a woman who unironically says "oh, my ovaries" whenever babies are being cute.
She really wants kids. (She's also ace, which is proof that asexual people *can* want and/or enjoy sex on their own terms, even if they don't actively desire it.)
As someone who's an ace-spec, yes yes yeeesss. I have baby fever so bad sometimes, lmao.
Edit: No, wanting a baby doesn't mean you want or like sex, it just can for some. Especially if demisexual or not sex-repulsed.
Well, I hate to burst any bubbles, but that isn't proof. As an ace who is aching to have babies, I won't be doing it with sex. You can want kids and still not want sex. You can also be ace and have sex and NOT want kids, just like some allos.
I'd say both are true. Since duh in this day and age, if you have enough money you don't need sex to make a baby. @@Shoot4AlarmFire
Edit: Wanting kids doesn't mean you will enjoy sex, no--but I'd say it is true that some asexuals can like sex--especially if demisexual or have another ace-spec identity that does.
Ace man here, same, I want kids but am appalled at the thought of touching another person
@@Shoot4AlarmFireI kinda thought that was what they meant. That you don't have to be sex-repulsed to call yourself ace? But maybe I misread something
Bro the "fuck me shoulder blades" guy is why girls cant wear spaghetti straps at school, we finally found the culprit
I use to didn't bother me and I see shit loads of girls wear them jeez so glad I live in a normal country called Australia
Every single quote that I read makes me wish I wasn't a man, but I am, and I have to deal with it. There's nothing I can do about it other than hope I never end up like these people.
You can do something about it by talking to other men, speaking up when they're talking about teenage girls this way, etc. Even if you just say, "Dude, that's not cool." We as women are damn tired of explaining these concepts to men. They need to hear it from other men.
@@MagnoliaPantherWoman I have done that as well. It’s not hard for men to do, though I believe it’s hard of a reality for mean to live in and swallow the pill of acceptance & learning, if that makes any sense.
My friendly nipples just-a-jigglin' watching this
I’ve only ever had one creative writing assignment so idk how writing works that well, but I am in school for animation with plans to go into character design for shows, so my main issue with these descriptions is that there’s no personality behind the description. You can make a beautiful character but what role does she play in the story? Even if her role is just being hot, what kind of hot? There’s mysterious and sexy, there’s cute and sexy, there’s clueless and sexy, and the description is just a bunch of weird words that don’t tell you anything meaningful about the role this character plays in the story
5:52 Why does it sound like she's in love with her friend? 😭
No. Nope. I can’t today, I’ll be back tomorrow.
Understandable, have a nice day
@@Hana_H thanks, you too! 😂
The one with the "oH nO! wE hAvE tO aSk WoMeN fOr CoNsEnT!!!" makes me rethink if evolution is even real. If it was, surely these people wouldn't exist, right?
Why do you think men are so much bigger than women? Think about it.
@@dollinterrupted I was joking about not believing in evolution lol. I 100% believe in evolution, I was just joking that these people haven't evolved past the "sEx iS sOmEtHiNg ThAt WoMeN mUsT gIvE A mAN!!!" days lol.
I LOVE the WOT passage with Aviendha describing Elayne because it's completely self aware lmfao. Robert Jordan does have a fixation with describing breasts (and women folding their arms beneath them for some reason) but this is all just Aviendha being weird in-universe. Even the other characters think she's weird for that. 😂Since she comes from an ultra-pragmatic warrior society her idea of romance is 'who will give me the strongest kids' and then just doesn't understand why other characters like Rand don't think the same way.
It gets funnier when it becomes clear that Aviendha and Elayne have quite a lot of romantic subtext between them too so in hindsight it reads so much like projection.
Basically I just find this whole entire passage absolutely hilarious on multiple levels.
I came to look for precisely this comment or make it myself. The whole point is that in Aviendha society, women and men are not as prude as other societies and that's baffling for the main character
Women have it so easy yet they complain the most We incels are right,women are the judges of a man worth in this society,making dating almost impossible for young men.
Here are some reasons why dating is impossible for young men feel free to dispute me:
There are more men than womeb specially below 40
More female asexuals than male asexuals
Women are much more picky,choosy,judgy specially in dating
Women They are much content alone than men, due in part to the little society punishment that single women have,single men suffer humiliation, degradation and displacement specially virgin men
Virgin men are unattractive to most women
Short guys(5'6 and below)are unattractive to almost all women
Men have to do the approach
Women have much lower sex drive than men and are more harder to arouse.
We are right in almost every point yet people like to lie.
Men are in the most risky jobs and also more men die in much more numbers and also die younger wtf,and women tell themaelves they are the ones that are opressed.disgusting gynocentric society.
Yes yes yes and I'll stand by Robert Jordan wrote some of the best female characters ever. Like all men who read wheel of time I know HATE Nyneave for being abrasive, but I adore her.
Nynaeve is one of my all time favourite characters pf ANY series because of how much she grows over the books.@@Diademischief
@teopilatocox626 She's so real! My brother prefers Egwene who I found too self-righteous for my taste, but she grows so much too from the naivety she came from. Then Elayne is somehow this beautiful example of femininity and strength. Ahhh, I love that series.
5:32 Ooh, this is my first time recognizing a passage from one of these. And of course it's Wheel of Time. That series has its strong points but it could be real weird about gender.
I often wonder about this and seen a lot of this. i write stories, I have men, women and children in my stories and I never talk or mention this. I just do a quick description of what they look like and what they are wearing, and that's it. Keep it short and simple, there is no need go into creepy mode. Reading is meant to be enjoyed, a ticket to another place. A place where you go to escape, hang out and be with your imaginary friends without the need to be grossed or creeped out in a horrible way. A lot of this is in the romance sector and many men have used female pen names to avoid the stigma of this. It is a shame this stuff goes on.
These type of creatures are crying over needing consent from a person and that is what they think is crazy wtf
13:39
"Friendly"
Oh, thank God! Now I can rest easy knowing they won't bite me!
💀💀💀
Over the years i've noticed most of these messed up men look for women to be prey, they want to be the predator. They want you to be a scared little rabbit while they are the wolf, they want to tear you apart. As cheesy as this sounds, nowadays iv'e became the wolf in my relationships, my boyfriend is the rabbit. But i actually know how to treat him with respect even if i have more power over him, unlike most men that want to be the wolf.
I'm a strong advocate of equal power. If there is a power dynamic, and I assume you already do this, steps to *avoid* abusing that power dynamic should be taken.
agreed, I always make sure not to abuse my power over him.@@Pensnmusic
That sounds so hot
Tbh I might have some kind of face blindness or something but that's pretty much how I remember faces? Like I can only picture extreme closeups of details but not the whole thing for some reason
Good point. Though a decent author who had that idea as their intent would have made sure to establish that fact either before or after
LOL CAN YOU IMAGINE AN ADULT WOMAN GOING INTO THIS MUCH DETAIL ABOUT TEENAGE BOYS 😂😂😂
Depends on the age of the teenage boys and what country in my country it's sixteen legal age
@@HEALTHNFITNESSHIPPIEWITCH no
I honestly have seen some books like that though unfortunately
They do, and it's just as bad lol.
Your Skzoos at the back are always so cute ❤ ( for thos who don' t know they' re the rabbit and quokka plushies on the sofa )
I've seen a few other people talk about that feminist book and it's absolutely wild lmao. I highly recommend trying to find some videos on it, it's even more wild than you'd think.
5:30 this could have been soo good if it was written as a joke.
Girl: *Describes Friend*
Guy: TF kinda description is that?
Girl: I thought guys are into this stuff, been reading a lot these romance novels lately.
Guy: from who?
Girl: Some Guy.
It is written as a joke. The character describing their friend is a woman warrior from an isolated culture that's very open about sexuality. The joke is that she has no idea how to compliment her friend properly so she just decides to describe the "sexy" parts of her lol.
Oh oof, the “even if they’re willing” in the book description feels especially icky
"But he couldn't remember her face" oh so how I live every day
I was watching this video under the impression that it was released years ago, and I was here years late, until I saw the view count go up in the corner of my phone- and saw it was put up two hours ago
I'm here to say that thankfully, Stephen King has gotten a lot better with his female characters! I just finished his latest novel, which has a female protagonist, and he only mentioned her breasts a couple of times. 😅
I prefer his original writing it's so much better he has become a shit writer now
Side note: It says "in the summer of her 16th year" if I remember correctly, which means, she's only 15, not even 16 yet.
Yuk.
That one from the teachers perspective is from The Rats, a horror book that spends half of its reading time objectifying women and young girls. That's p early on in the book and it just gets worse. I hate that I've read all 3 books from that series.
Okay, but the Aviendha bit makes sense in context. In her society, it is normal to think of people in those physical terms and to compare people as quality mates. The passage isn't a standard example of how the author writes women.
Huh, interesting. What’s the name of the book?
Jordan can be quite weird in his description of women, though. I love his works, but a lot of his stuff does regularly wind up on this subreddit.

Sooo effing true. You had me laughing. Great topic and well done. I luv your content!
I have seen Dark Desires in a thrift bookstore and was Astounded. I read weird books written by men for fun but I could not bring myself to even touch that one. 😬
Forever waiting for Murakami to show up in these videos. Sincerely, a creative writing major :)
11:50 I need to disagree tho. I don't know the context of the book, but there is something like prosopagnosia (I have it) so yu absolutly can femember facial features separatl, but not be able to piece them together and recognise. I'm not saying the character has it, I'm just educating you that this is a thing
Interesting! I was curious if there was something to that. Definitely weird to mention the boobs twice tho
@@NettylSpryngs yeah the boobs thing is weird and I don't think that the author of that was goint to make the character have prosopagnosia, or maymy they did, but they didn't have much knowlage, just heard about it before and used as an inspiration, but I still wanted to talk about because Savannah comment kinda reminded of all these people who got mad at me in the past and laughed at me saying that (that's not a thing you're just an asshole)

RUclips suggested this video and I wasn't sure if I was gonna sub until I saw Quokka and Leebit in the background (that was just in the first minute, the video was great 👍)
And I thought I wasn't writing enough for my character descriptions 😭
6:12 Oh yeah I TOTALLY describe my friends like that XD
Bosoms will forever be extremely hilarious to me
Love your vids
I think if I ever wrote a book, all the female characters would have flat chests 😕
cuz just the thought of describing breasts in any scenario that isn't a s3xu∆l one is just yiiiikes 😬
Yeah that's not good coming from someone who loves the size of her boobs and so does alot of other people been flat chested gets you nowhere jeez I'm glad I have big boobs ,big hips,big thighs and butt and I love it all so does my my two boyfriends
best video title 💯
When you asked why he couldnt remember the girls face, i thought of face blindness. Not saying that's what it is, but i am saying it exists
1:31 Nooo! My glorious home state of Minnesota is being dragged through the mud!
11:19 I have to disagree the reaction to the face one. It's clearly supposed to be emotional longing, probably from someone who lost a loved one(at least from how I'm reading it), so remembering pieces that your brain can't fit together works on that emotional level.
What doesn't work for me is throwing the more sexual bits with it all. It's just a wrong note in a chord of emotional metaphor.
Sexual stuff is good you do realise sexual stuff is normal prude much SEX AND BEEN SEXUAL IS NORMAL YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL YOU DONT COME FROM LILLITH
These videos are a case study in why we tell authors "write what you know"
I was mortified from the beginning, what are these things😭😭😭😭
18:44 reminds me of the cat covering it’s ears meme lmao
Don’t be too hard on Robert Jordan, he genuinely writes great female characters. The wheel of time series is goated. Sometimes he gets… distracted… lol
(Which is the case of nearly every fantasy novel that is not lotr, The hobbit, or narnia. It genuinely blows)
6:29 that's gonna be how i describe my friends from now on, no matter who they are 🤣
This is random; but I really like how you've been doing your makeup in the last few videos!

Another RUclipsr I watch named Lavender towne did some videos on this sub reddit recently and she drew them as humans
i am genuinely curious as to what "fuck-me shoulder blades" look like
Why do these descriptions feel like a teen boy's mad libs game
"Look at the shoulder blades on that hot tomato!"
In michigan late morning fog is thick and white. But that's the only thing I've disagreed with lol
the one where he can remember her features bit not her whole face, if we're giving him the benefit of the doubt maybe he just has facial blindness, because i have facial blindness and can't piece faces together, but i know thats not what he was going for

This is possibly the only time I’ll ever even partially defend one of these, but uh… here we go ig, lmao
So the one where he remembers all the parts of her face, but not her face? Minus all the weird body descriptors, this read as normal to me, because I can’t visualize clearly or easily and tend to picture in sensory images. That’s pretty accurate for how I remember faces. I can remember individual flashes if I focus on a detail- e.g. eyes- but the second I try to piece it together the image falls apart and slips through my fingers. Tactile things are easier to reconstruct. And if I really know someone’s voice, I can basically make a voice-clone of them in my mind and/or use it for my internal monologue.
Anyway it’s just important to me to explore and validate different types of brains and stuff. The body descriptors are definitely weird, but otherwise that one feels pretty accurate to how I remember things.
(I’m AFAB and [tragically] attracted to guys, btw, not trying to justify men being weird)
Ahhhhhhh I have to say noooo, that third one is Aveindha from wheel of time. She's basically connonically bi and autistic, from a culture that's ludicrously open about sexuality. That is very much part of her character. I love Robert Jordan and his female characters and I'll die on that hill because he wrote Nynneave, who is universally hated by male readers for being abrasive and I fuckin love her for being a real one.
not so fun fact: marital rape was legal until July 5th 1993
I'm one of the 3 men working in an elementary school. I spend most of my time there providing support to students with developmental differences. I was warned as soon as I was accepted for the position that, despite the staff fully trusting me, I would be monitored closely do to the fact that I'm a man working with young children with special needs. That broke me for a while, just the realization that male teachers cannot be trusted around the students they are entrusted to teach, protect, and care for.
