What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:
“They’re just misunderstood”
I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent
I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain
also
I am able to sympathize with tragic villains without saying that they are misunderstood, innocent, or don’t realize that they are a villain. I have no idea why tumblr has such a hard time grasping the concept of “seeing people suffer makes me feel bad for them even if they did terrible things” and quite frankly the idea that “only pure and innocent people deserve love and empathy” thing that tumblr has going on scares me.
all of the above and
tbh sometimes the villain is just hot and/or very funny
and my appreciation of hot villains and fictional hijinks does not impair my moral reasoning in a real world context
stop demanding serious and complicated explanations for why i like this goofy fictional character who is obviously ridiculous and exaggerated
During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime
workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was
largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime
industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it
through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the
U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and
lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s
popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions
in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are
stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie
the Riveters.
