ladyofleithian: (Eowyn has had enough of your bullshit)
 ...and I figured that I'd post about this too, as it is absolutely horrifying: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/04/10/chechnya-has-opened-concentration-camps-for-gay-men/. 

There's been a Russian support line for men fleeing the region that's confirmed the report, and they had an interview with a survivor of one of the camps. There's also a petition that's linked in the article that you can sign (I've signed already).

I think. I think this can be classed as "relevant to your interests". And if it's not, well, it should be. Trigger warning for slut-shaming.

Observe the beautifully worded and well thought out views of James Gunn, the director-to-be on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (yes, written over a year ago, but is that the point? I think not. Also, original article available here through Google Cache):

SO! As a result please: Petition to remove James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy

[...] Someone created a petition, I signed it, and I hope many people on Tumblr will, too, because Marvel needs to know that we CARE about who will handle big franchises, and how BAD it is that a man like him is allowed to work in this industry, considering his vision of women and women characters is basically, meat.

Signal boost this, please. And let’s see if we can make ourselves heard.

[from marielikestodraw on tumblr]

Please sign this. Because I have been into comics for the grand total of about two months and the poor treatment and representation of female characters became apparent to me about 2 days in.

And you know Natasha would ninja this shit.

(Sorry for raining on the happysquee of this bar but... needs must)
