    Hey all. It's been almost two years since I last posted anything here, but I'm back, and hopefully I'll have another MOC before 2016. Aptera is some sort of insectoid alien, and due to demand from a bunch of people who saw WIP pictures, there will sooner or later be a version with insect wings.
     
    Comments (and upvotes, seeing as those are a thing now) much appreciated.

    What a great sketch.

     

    What a great pair.

     

    What cute girls.

     

    Thanks Mak. <3

     

    GAAAAHHHH it's gorgeous!

     

    What cute girls.

    Where did this whole Tamaru-is-a-girl thing even start?

     

    Thank you! The headcanon comes from Ran, and you can find it here.

     

    So adorable! Adore the simplicity and style.

     

    You've fooled me--is this watercolour or digital?

     

    Lady K! Thank you, and it's super cool seeing you around again. It's actually neither, I used Letraset promarkers, if you're familiar with them.

    Why is Bionicle Kinda Sexist?

    (I'm not the most knowledgeable about these sort of things so if anyone with more experience can correct anything here please do)

     

    If men can't be oppressed by a mostly female cast, then how can there be a flip side? Just because males are supposedly "superior," which is a stereotype in itself (I treat women just as I would treat any men, and there are plenty of men like me who do the same), doesn't mean a female cast can't portray females as superior. Men can be oppressed to, by females. It's time we stop assuming males can't be oppressed. I have had a fair share of oppression from females that I know personally, and they certainly acted superior. It goes both ways, and while a lot of it comes from males (I'll admit that males are more often sexist than females are), males aren't the only culprits.

    I get where you're coming from, but it's a false equivalence. Yeah, you can be treated unfairly in specific situations by girls, but that's not the same thing as oppression. If I'm in a situation where I'm being treated unfairly because I'm male, okay, maybe it's wrong, but I can walk away, and continue my life in a society (and world) where just being male gives me the advantage in most situations. Girls can't walk away from unjust treatment, because that's what they face nearly everywhere. Men hold a disproportionate amount of power, representation, are given more credibility, etc. So absolutely, maybe you've been treated unfairly and that sucks, but it's not the same thing as oppression. Unless you and me are dropped into an alternate reality where men have been systematically oppressed for all of history and are still treated unfairly in a female-dominated world where women are in most positions of power, have most of the representation, are given more credibility and so on, I don't think we'll ever know what being oppressed on the basis of gender feels like.

    I'm an ISTJ, whatever that is? I'm really not sure I trust the results here, because a lot of the questions I couldn't answer accurately either way, so it felt a bit like flipping a coin. I'm not sure I got anything useful out of it. Only bits of the ISTJ description ring true.
