my pookies- woah wait do you guys see that
He's anti-social. Shocking, I know./sarc
He's not even 'soft' though I know the fandom likes to portray him as such. Yes he can rant, he gets angry (ie. The animated scene with him ranting to Dandy, clearly pissed off- or annoyed, I guess, since it's a children's show.) People are very open about hating the Cosmo mischaracterization (me 2 man) and yet don't speak up about the Astro femboy-ification. It's actually very popular now and nobody is talking about is cause you're all secretly freaks who are into that shit (Astro is the most popular character in the fandom.)
ok so you support the disabled, disordered, and mentally ill. but are you normal when someone takes long to respond to you? or if they have a hard time listening to you? when someone has a hard time giving you their attention? or when their manners aren’t perfect? or when someone makes mistakes that may be obvious or simple to you? or when someone talks loudly or “causes a scene?” are you normal when people have to think really hard to explain things? or when they have a hard time putting their thoughts into words?
are you normal when people’s hair is unkempt or oily or visibly unbrushed? or when their face might be full of acne? or when they don’t have deodorant on for one reason or another? how about if their clothes are dirty?
are you normal about disabled/disordered/mentally ill people when they make you a little uncomfortable?
im so happy I could help you feel more comfortable in drawing cosmo how you see him ! :]]
Cosmo is my favourite character. He's sweet, caring, oblivious to jokes, a little too nervous for his own good, and very self-sacrificial (why does nobody talk about this part?) Since I'm one of the rare cosmo fans who like him for who he is-or just rare cosmo fan period since they don't exist unless they like fruitcake...- I DESPISE mischaracterization of him, especially by people who don't even like him that much. People (not even cosmo fans) get enraged when Cosmo is even REMOTELY feminine... despite him obviously being a feminine guy in cannon. No, it's not making him an uwu femboy to draw him with his literally cannon cute asf stockings. It's okay for him to be a Twink... Anyways, not everybody overreacts like that but some people who hate it try to be different by going the complete opposite, even if it means changing his entire fucking character. YOU ARE STILL MISCHARACTERIZING COSMO. I see him turned into a very masculine, confident, snarly guy and people go "Wow! finally an accurate Cosmo!)
... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO COSMO IS?? Like I'm fine with OOC but own up to it. And if suddenly the fandom can handle OOC, then we all need to give Junepa0 a huge apology.
Oh right and side note, people who like top Cosmo always feel the need to completely change his personality and make him taller, like... just make an oc at this point. You don't need to change his character to make him a 'top', at that point, just don't.
who's surprised
BLACK FOREST COOKIE!! I love her so much
?? I want it to be known that my account is a safe space for trans people still. What's your point?
Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.
We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.
There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.
While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.
Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.
Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.
I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.
MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.
