I don’t know what kind of rp stuff you people are reading. Even the most reasonable stuff of theirs I’ve seen takes a sharp dive into dehumanising women before long. I genuinely find it difficult to understand how people in my tumblrsphere who do not seem to be terrible manage to not see this in everything they put out.
I guess I’m not sure what your disagreement with me is? To be clear, I absolutely think RP stuff tends to dehumanize women. I think women are people with feelings and desires and preferences that matter just as much as men’s and a lot of RP writings encourage men to ignore this, resulting in both harm to women and probably ultimately harm to those men as well (because that attitude seems like it would make it hard to form close and rewarding relationships with women). I guess I assume most of my followers already agree with this so tend not to post about it and instead post about other aspects I find interesting.
FWIW, I started replying to your reblog of my previous post to mostly agree with it but the post somehow veered into me being mad about PUA rape apologism, so I deleted it because I figured that was an invitation to discourse I didn’t need in my life.
But for the record: a lot of RP writings promote treating women badly/thoughtlessly/selfishly and I categorically disavow this. Some of them literally promote/encourage rape and even present as “success stories” detailed descriptions of times they have committed rape and that is fucking evil and those people should be condemned in the strongest possible terms (and like, arrested if it’s legally feasible though I’m sure it isn’t).
(I don’t think I’m come across anything on RPW that I would characterize as dehumanizing women, but I also haven’t read that much of it.)
