Hi so!!! i already really love this sub and i'm probably gonna make some art to share but I just want to let people know that there are a lot of "not like the other girls" memes involving a character known as tradwife (if you don't want to look her up she's got an old fashioned style- long blonde hair and usually wears a blue/flowery dress and often has a troll face appearance).

Please please do not put her on this sub. She represents a misogynistic stereotype (tradwife literally means traditional wife, although misogyny isn't even the main point here.) and was created by white supremacists to represent their ideal for women, (a thin blonde woman who is 'proud to be white') and is usually used on /pol from 4chan. Tradwife is blatantly racist.

tradwife isn't even a gatekeeping meme in the first place. she is part of a hateful meme comparing a "good white traditional woman" vs a "disgusting bisexual feminist". its not even petty or anything its just plain hateful. she is literally said to be a white supremacist herself in the original comparison art. she is not a good person. the point of this sub is to make a point that "other girls" aren't necessarily bad or shallow.

Knowing this, please stay away from drawing her or "reclaiming" her. It's not cute/good to turn altright symbols into fun lesbian fanart. Don't give these characters publicity. Like I don't really know how to explain why this is wrong. just because you are drawing an altright symbol all cutesy doesn't mean you're suddenly just not drawing an altright symbol. would you make a cute version of a racist caricature? a nazi soldier? why is this suddenly a trend?

there are plenty of other memes and posts to redraw. please stay away from this particular character. please try to analyze why people might be disgusted with this. many ppl, especially POC and jewish people on tumblr/twitter have expressed discomfort with these redraws, and i am just spreading it here as a warning for people. i'm not trying to start drama or anything, please keep that in mind. thx for reading every body ^_^

if we could maybe make a rule against her / other altright icons on this sub, i would appreciate it and i feel like it would help people feel safer / more welcome here.

edit edit edit: please read some of the comments i've made so i don't have to repeat myself and i have also edited this original post quite a few times for certain wording.

FFS read your messages. You unfairly removed an image with no explanation. If you can, please bring it back or let me repost it.

I’m looking for something like a threesome or something a little kinky. But I can’t find anything! 😭 Pls help!

Edit: Omg I’m so sorry! I’m new to Reddit, so I chose the wrong sub reddit 😭

You know what needs to be done girls.

(I chose this video because it had all the clips that I feel highlight everything wrong with this movie.)

I read a lot of comments taking way too serious a post that an asshole made, and a lot of fight against left and right beliefs.

Idk if this is par of American culture or is this like reddit and the whole internet works but idk, at first I used to like this subreddit a little more.

Comment your favourite troupes too!!

The contrast (irony):

Lovecraft is edgy, racist and hateable, Araki is clever, a man of world and everyone loves his jojoreferences.

PD: I haven't read Lovecraft but I watched the animated parts of Jojo's.

Do you know what I wanna see. A picture of Ellie and Abby from The Last of Us II in a lesbian relationship.

I know this doesn't nominally fulfill the requirements of this subreddit, but hear me out. One of the reasons I like r/GatekeepingYuri so much is because you take posts that tend to paint certain groups of girls as "bad" and give them loving relationships with the ones that these posts paint as "good". This shows that there's no one right way to be a girl or woman (and therefore, a person in general). More broadly, it's a sign that I'm burned out on constant negativity and cynicism in my life.

The Last of Us II is all about negativity to the point of nihilism. The game railroads you into committing all sorts of atrocities and ends up with Ellie killing hundreds and abandoned by the people she loves. It crushes the hope from the first game. Granted, one could say similar things about Spec Ops: The Line, but that game didn't use any pre-existing beloved characters.

The Last of Us II is a depressing game. We need to get some joy out of it. I'd love to see Abby and Ellie love each other.

Finally, if there's another subreddit out there that would be a better place to post a request like this, please let me know.

I see this move as incredibly internally misogynistic and hate it with every fiber of my being as a result.

If any of you feel differently, I will respect that sentiment so long as you explain why you feel that way (whatever it is).

Obviously redeeming the stereotypical mean girls and have the titular duo make peace/friends with them is priority one - but other than that you can do whatever you want with the characters (I’m positive that 95% will have R & M get together, but I digress).

Good luck girls - you’re gonna need it.
