Like We Could Say This But On Reverse On Every Other Piece Of Media Created Ever, And I Wouldnt Even

like we could say this but on reverse on every other piece of media created ever, and i wouldnt even consider this show particulary female gaze so if incel men on the internet dont like fuck them

I was reading some reviews on Dune: Prophecy on imdb because I'm a bit baffled that the show is getting somewhat bashed. Yes, I'm loving it! And of course the problem seems to be that is to focused on women. I'm sorry if I'm getting the wrong impression but just read this gem of a comment from a user:

"It could have been great but they narrowed the focus to much around the bene geserat. It's OK but feels like they spent all there effort trying to come up with a plot line which meant that men would be props. Dune had interesting and powerful women but it also had strong male characters, this show really doesn't. It lacks the testosterone hormone which really the one that makes the world an interesting place.

The graphics and sets are very good, it's just dull, even the sex scenes have the women on top. The plot seems contrived in parts. All the women are hard on the eye, it's a bit like modern computer games in that regard."

I can't say WTF enough, but I had to snort when it came to sex scenes and oh noeeessssss women on top XD

I mean, I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, and I do understand that the setting may feel weird. I'm a Dune book lover, and I do get why some aspects may feel itchy but overall my opinion is that it's very well done, very intriguing with complex characters and complex *female* characters yes. Is there, for any instance, a lack of sci-fi and fantasy focused on men? Please.

Takes me back to SW fanboys a few years ago complaining that all the movies have women as main characters now... I guess it will never change.

rust cohle is The character that i’ve seen called a sociopath (in the shallow, “this is a flawed person who does things i don’t understand” prestige tv fan way) who obviously, like, cares the most. he forms his entire life in response to people. he’s in louisiana because of his daughter. he leaves louisiana because his relationship with marty and maggie is ruined. he spends his time away on fishing boats, marty’s hobby. he needs to save every child he can (or force himself to bear witness if he can’t) because he couldn’t do anything about his daughters death. he carves little visages of men out of empty beer cans while he’s talking. he loves humanity so much it eats at him. don’t know how people can get any other idea in their head, watching that show

we do need to revisit the wording of "you can't have your cake and eat it too" because i don't think it clearly enough conveys that it's more that you can't simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not....it's my cake....?

The realism of Robby being a little bit of an unintentional misogynist is so, so important to me. Like he is a good boss and a great teacher, he is friends with women and works with women and teaches women and respects women greatly. And yet—it’s Langdon, and then Whitaker, who Robby adopts as his mentees. It’s David, not the girls on the kill list, who Robby prioritizes care for. It’s the dad accused of grooming his daughter who Robby refuses to report, while informing the authorities about the mother drugging him without a second thought. He reams Langdon out for berating Santos, but doesn’t check in on Santos until Langdon refuses to let it go and Robby becomes suspicious of there being an actual problem.

And obviously we are seeing Robby on the worst day of life, and maybe even calling him a “little bit of a misogynist” is a bit too much because he’s not, really. But he does have ingrained biases and he does seem to only be able to fully see himself in and completely empathize with other men. And that is just. So true of even the nicest, kindest, most wonderful and feminist men I know.
