rjalker: [ID: A gif from Miraculous Ladybug, showing Marinette as Ladybug saying angrily to the camera, “Gross! You’re not Adrien! He would never be so pushy!”“That’s Felix, Adrien’s cousin!” Adrien as Chat Noir says from offscreen. Marinette turns to look, surprised, and Adrien is shown standing on a railing as Chat Noir.Above Marinette’s head, large text reads, “Marinette: The real Adrien would never violate my boundaries!”Above Adrien’s head, the text reads, “The real Adrien who does that exact thing in every single episode: *appears*”.End ID.]The writers saw all of us criticizing Adrien sexually harassing Marinette at least once every single episode and created this scene specifically to ‘’debunk’’ it……while giving us the most fucking ironic scene in the entire show.The only episode I can think of off the top of my head where Adrien doesn’t sexually harass or assault Marinette one way or another is Gamer, and I might be forgetting something. This show has three full seasons and the fourth is still airing. And I can only think of one episode where he doesn’t sexually harass her.The writers want us to think he respects her, but they don’t actually want to have him treat her with respect. Because they’re 45 year old cis straight white men who think sexually harassing women is funny and romantic, so they are never going to have Adrien’s behavior change, they’ll just keep pretending that he respects her, without ever once ever having him actually treat her with genuine respect.For fuck’s sake, they literally have him admit out loud to her face just to upset her that the only reason he shows up to fights is to harass her and upset her because he thinks upsetting her is funny.These writers are such fucking misogynyists they think having the victim say her abuser respects her makes the abuse magically disappear. Sexual assault?? Please stop using words that aren’t applicable. It invalidates actual victims of sexual assault. -- source link
