THINGS MARTHA JONES IS NOT AND NEVER WAS:
“needy” (so needy she spent over a year with a guy who barely noticed her, amirite?)
“clingy” (so clingy she walked the earth alone for a year!)
“whiny” (so whiny the Doctor was able to ignore what was happening until she laid it out for him!)
“useless” (so useless she totally didn’t keep the Doctor alive for the entire season despite...

I Saw The Hunger Games Last Night
fishingboatproceeds:
I’m late, but in my defense I was on planes much of the last five days.
So a quick prefatory comment: I’m quoted on the back of The Hunger Games for nice things I said about the first book in the New York Times Book Review when it came out, so obviously I like the book. Back then, I remember thinking that if a movie adaptation ever happened (it seemed unlikely to me; I...
Haymitch: Stay alive.
Prim: Just try to win.
Gale: You are stronger than they are.
Katniss: I need to survive.
Peeta: I hope the arena is a giant cake.

You know that line Peeta had in the first book/movie, before they went into the arena, about wanting to die as himself? About how he didn’t want them to change who he was?

Josh Hutcherson’s head is kind of square, which I usually don’t find attractive, but
damn
though I seem to find him about 1000% sexier when he’s blond.
I think this is another case of me pretending to be into an actor when I have in fact fallen for a fictional character.

When POC characters are turned white: this isin't about race, if you think it is then you're the racist one, lets just enjoy the book/film as it is, this is about the character's personality god you're so sensitive, the new skin tone actually fits the character's personality IMO, I never imagined them as POC anyway, not all whitewashing is racist god get over it!!111
When white characters are turned into POC: omg how could they!?!?!? this is soooo racist and unfair! why cant they present that white character as WHITE, how dare they change the original skin color to suit their own terms! this is reverse racism!! this is about race! I NEVER imaged that white character to be a POC that is so weird, it doesn't fit, this is political correctness gone crazy!!
When POC characters stay POC but readers/viewers imagined them as white: THIS IS SO WRONG. This isn't how they looked. i don't care what it says in the booooook because i imagined they lookd different. ugh the film is ruined now. Ruined.

Vilifying the victim
cruelyouth:
A classic tactic of covert abusers where they portray themselves as suffering souls and say they were just “defending themselves” against their targets, who might have just been responding to the abuse and confronting the abuser.
The main objective is to put the victim on the defensive and disguise the aggressive intent of the person using the...

Seventeen: You've said girls should embrace their curves. Why did you think it important to make that statement?
Jennifer Lawrence: When I was playing Mystique in X-Men, I remember thinking, If I'm going to be naked in paint in front of the entire world, I'm going to look like a woman. I'm going to have curves and have boobs and have a butt. Because girls are going to look at that, and if I look like a scarecrow, they are going to think, Oh, that's normal. It's not normal. I'm just so sick of these young girls with diets. I remember when I was 13 and it was cool to pretend to have an eating disorder because there were rumors that Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie were anorexic. I thought it was crazy. I went home and told my mom, "Nobody's eating bread--I just had to finish everyone's burgers". I think it's really important for girls to have people to look up to and feel good about themselves.
