This website reeks of misogyny. If you love a male villain because you want to fuck him, that’s a perfectly fine and valid reason for doing so. The gremlins on Tungle dot com can tell fairytales within the boundaries of their woke wokey clique, but I can assure you that nobody has ever accomplished anything on a social and political level going after the teenager that wants to smooch Kylo Ren or the grown ass woman that daydreams doing kinky shit with Tom Hiddleston dressed up as Loki. The Revolution of 1917 would have probably gone in a different way if Lenin had spent most of his energy telling women that lusting after Anatole Kuragin is wrong. This is not an opinion but a fact.

Of course, nobody here would ever openly admit that they’re stanning a male villain because they find him sexually attractive, but it’s okay to say it without any shame. “This villain is an evil hot mess and I want to ride his dick into oblivion.” 💦

But yeah the misogyny on here is so disgusting. If a guy said he loved a female villain because he wanted to fuck her, no one would bat an eye.

This is true, but it’s also important to acknowledge that the act of reducing women’s interests down to just being horny is misogynistic in and of itself, and that’s the impetus behind, “They just want to fuck Kylo/Loki/[insert villainous or morally gray character of your choice here]!!” to begin with. It’s literally the exact same thing as some douchebag talking about how boy bands are only popular because because they “make pussies wet”, or the hyper-focus on criticizing pop entertainment targeted towards women as damaging (because, you know, women are too blinded by a hot guy character to think critically about anything they consume): a tactic to dismiss women and the things they like as worthless and shallow.

So, yeah, like your fave villain because they’re hot! Like your OTP because you want to see them make-out! But people saying, idk, “Gross women only like this bad, problematic slash ship because they want to see dicks touch,” isn’t just misogynistic because of the “female sexuality = bad” message it contains; it’s misogynistic because it strips their interests of all complexity and depth as a tactic to invalidate them (and imply their moral impurity, too).
