The romance novel I'm reading (or trying to get through, rather) is like this enemies to lovers fake dating thing but the thing the guy hates the female lead for is just being female. He thinks women don't belong in his industry and he resents her presence and having to work with her and I just hate it. Why should I root for him? I want him to crash and die. It's not even like some kind of minor implicit bias thing, I could roll with that, esp since I know he learns his lesson in the end, but like. It's canon that he's publicly bullied female athletes and called their abilities into question. Before the fake dating thing comes about, his plan is to seduce the female lead so she'll lose her job and have her career ruined for sleeping with him. Like that's not "well meaning but a bit old-fashioned" that's just, like, sociopathic. Yeah I don't think I'm finish this one.

Being anti-Ukrainian is already bad enough on it's own but at this point whenever I see someone being anti-Ukrainian I immediately file them in my brain under "antisemitic" as well. The venn diagram of the two is just a smaller circle (anti-Ukraine bigots) inside a bigger circle (antisemites) like I've never once seen someone be anti-Ukraine who didn't hate Jewish people too.

This was supposed to be just a drabble/oneshot thing but it ended up being seven pages so it’ll probably end up as a chapter of the actual story. But you guys get early access bc I’m a slut for attention so you’re welcome/I’m sorry. Anyway enjoy this snapshot of Ally J trying to figure out what uncle Jed’s fucking damage is.
