Why do these people feel the need to sperg over fictional characters? They're not real, so they're not gonna hurt anyone.

There's this almost conspiracy theory-level of insane belief that Tumblrites have, that fictional characters and media have this huge impact on society and perceptions. That they might as WELL be real people, because this is how society is going to see the people of a certain demographic, as if real people are exactly As Seen On TV! and not totally exaggerated for the sake of entertainment value.

This is why you'll see these kinds of spergs ranting about fictional characters having no 'agency' over how they're portrayed (i.e. female characters being 'forcibly' portrayed in skimpy/unrealistic clothing); why they treat the murder of a fictional lesbian on a show with the exact same level of offense as if she were a victim of the Pulse nightclub; why fictional teenagers having sex is "LITERALLY PEDOPHILIA AND WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!"

It's a lot like the Concerned Parent way of thinking that was so prevalent in the past (remember VIDEO GAMES ARE TOTALLY GOING TO TURN YOUR KIDS VIOLENT!!1!11!), but somehow ten times more annoying because in this case it seems like these people should fucking know better. A Concerned Parent is at worst, ignorant of the thing they're trying to protect their community/family from, and at least have good if misguided intentions. A Concerned Tumblrite, however, wants to be seen as a Good Person by their inner circle of admirers (read: asskissers) for pointing out the obvious problems with media and society and linking the two together.

TL;DR:

They're actually worse than Jack Thompson. Jack Thompson feared that vidya was going to turn kids violent or whatever. He thought games could influence reality. He was obviously insane and his obsession led to his eventual disbarment because of his absurd practice of constantly filing insane lawsuits.

SJWs are actually worse. They don't think vidya and children's cartoons influence reality. They're much more insane.

They actually think they ARE REALITY.

It shows how the script writers can't win, if they kill off instead a straight white male it's going to have no emotional impact on them and make the show boring and even more so for everyone else since we'd know certain groups are protected and can't die thus ruining any tension with scenes contains them.

This is why I prefer horror.

Might not even be a kink thing, I've seen chicks wearing collars just for fashion reasons. Either way it's funny since here's OP making assumptions and shaming this random woman for her choice of dress... which is, hmm, funny, isn't that what the EEVIL patriarchy supposedly does to women too?

Only people more vicious towards women than MRAs are other women.

Damn you bourgeoisie for using basic biology to suppress the worker.

I think I'll just dress up as the Happy Merchant this year. I mean, everything else is offensive, so why not?

Because Alan Turing, Alexander Graham Bell and Tim Berners-Lee had such nice tiddies, right?

it's also funny because she's not giving counter examples or even breaking the trend by being a woman who creates the modern world
