Three years ago, I used to go to a library a lot. One day a cute girl approached me and handed me a flyer for a book club. I went, and it was basically 13 girls and not a single dude.
They mostly read fiction about feminism, minority struggles, and LGBT stuff. I do not read that. I read almost only nonfiction philosophy and psychology.
The girl who approached me was friendly and welcoming. For the first three or four meetings, I had not read anything they were discussing. I just tried to follow along, ask questions, and talk about the books without stating my views.
Somehow, she convinced me to buy one of the books they were discussing. I did not read it, but I brought it to the next meeting.
At that point I was starting to think I could actually date her. She was giving me decent signs. I did not agree with most of what they talked about or the conclusions they came to, but I told myself it was good to get out of my bubble, even though I found the whole thing super cringe.
They were happy I bought the book, and the cute girl was especially happy. She asked what I liked about it. I said I had not read it yet and that I had just bought it yesterday. I said I was looking forward to reading it.
In the middle of the discussion, she asked me to get my copy and read a certain page. I started reading, and about 70 percent of the way in I stopped and thought, in a low, defeated voice, "what am I doing?". I finished quickly, said I needed to go to the bathroom, and never came back.
After that, I started to look for and date men, because women are actually extremely cringe and will subconsciously make you weak and do very cringe stuff.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie, but then you just hadda đ didn't you?
But seriously I just googled "what is the most important feminist diversity novel of 2025?"
Then I asked for a synopsis:
> In Natalia Theodoridou's haunting novel Sour Cherry, women are entrapped by the gluttonous monstrosities of their sons and husbands. To elucidate her husband's abuse, a mother tells her child a story about a cursed lord. She begins with Agnes, the woman hired to raise the lord throughout his boyhood.
Should have bought the book, carried it around clutching it to your breast like the Holy Koran, then regurgitated a bit of that dreck every meeting. <insert gif of raining vaginas>
the book has no English version but here's the summary
Watered Eyes (rough translation)
Across the stories, Evaristo depicts how women face everyday racism, poverty, and urban violence, with an emphasis on gendered harm and structural injustice.
I've noticed that a lot of media has shy or introverted characters becoming "fixed" or "normal" and suddenly they're outgoing and happy. That's not how it works at all in real life, though.
Atlas 2025, the MC lady. She gone from messy shut in to super model at very end. I had to made sure it was same woman. They took fat dump on her character development there. I was pissed about it.
breakfast club turning the goth baddie into generic girl. I still stand by that Molly Ringwalds character should of transformed into the same style as ally sheedys character instead
TBH it is good. The longer I live the more I believe that while we donât need everyone to become ânormalâ we absolutely cannot praise being ânot normalâ. Fellow humans will bend the âslightly out of normalâ ones to place, the truly weird ones will likely seek enclaves and outlets (science, art) as they did always. We donât need everyone thinking you can be shitty hyper-individual just because being different is cool. Society is made up of mostly normal people and if it wishes to continue it should stay like that. IMO this is one of driving factors of societal polarization.
Pretty sure a few years ago people on the chans wrre complaining how "be yourself" is a bullshit messaging. Now conform to social standards is bad? Make up your mind.
Penelope(2006) is this exact trope. Girl is born with a pig nose. Girl is then made popular for her nose. She looses the nose. She gets with the man she loves. Movie ends.
When I heard it I felt like the crew did kinda pick on the fact the MC was kinda nerdy. Near the end >!he mind wipes himself to save everyone and it's revealed we've been listening to him replaying the tapes. Iirc the new character says that isn't who he is anymore for all his faults he came though in the end. Doesn't seem to be that interested in the same media mc was originally which was seen again as him being nerdy!<
