So I know I never really post personal stuff on here, but this is something I have to do.
If you ship starker, support starker, or in any way, shape, or form defend starker, then get the hell off of my blog and never, ever interact with me. If you have a problem with this, I don’t fucking care. Just unfollow me.
Peter Parker is 16-17 years old you dipshits. 16 years old. He cannot legally consent to sex with anyone over 18. That includes Tony Stark. It is disgusting that anyone would think that kind of relationship would be ok or legal.
It does not matter that they are fictional characters. It does not matter that it is just a head cannon or ship. It does not fucking matter that Peter is close to being 18 years old. What matters is that you guys are complicit in a society that turns a blind eye to the sexual abuse of children. What matters is that starker represents the community of real adults out there who are attracted to minors and want to take advantage of children who can’t protect themselves.
So if you ship starker, get the fuck away from me. Don’t even try to start an argument here. I have blocked and reported people already who I thought were my friends, and I will not hesitate to do the same to anyone else.
Even if he turns 18 st*rker is not okay. Tony is a parental/teacher to Peter. Tony is also a much older man who has known Peter since he was a kid. Peter would have no power in the relationship because he has no experience and no money. It would be grooming if Tony waited until Peter was 18 to sleep with him. Imagine a teacher that was good mentor that you had at 15 deciding to sleep with you.
The only reason people want starker is because they want to imagine fucking Peter Parker at the same time as Tony Stark. Because there is no healthy reason this ship should exist. It’s 100% fetishizing two characters at once. The problem is that it is teaching young people that 15 year olds with 40+ is okay. And it fucking isn’t.
I love the scene from DBH where Markus and the rest of Jericho start singing “Hold On Just A Little While Longer” and I can’t decide if Markus started singing in order to gain the sympathy from the public or if it was just all that he could think of to do. I imagine this:
Simon: Not that I’m not impressed, but why did you start singing? Markus: FOR FUCK’S SAKE I PANICKED
i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!
In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and women’s dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a women’s dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his men’s dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didn’t understand why they had to live like this. He said, “I want to live with the women, in civilization.”
Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasn’t interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said “Please pass the butter,” instead of “PASS THE GODDAMNED GREASE”
I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasn’t intruding on their “guy time” or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, “The truth is, I really like it when you’re here because it gives us a reason to act better. When it’s just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.”
So the moral of these stories are men don’t even treat each other like human beings.
Me to my 6-year-old son: “You seem to like playing with the girls at school more than the boys. Why do you think that is?”
6-year-old son: “Sometimes I just don’t want to be pushed. It hurts and is mean. And the girls always pretend to be princesses or fun animals and stuff when they have tea parties. The boys just dump the tea all over the place. That’s just stupid and I don’t like wasting all that tea. It takes forever to make.”
Me: “Wow, I can understand why you’d rather play with the girls. The boys seem like they’re kind of rough.”
6-year-old son: “And when I play with the girls they make me the king because none of the other boys want to play tea party.”
Me: “Do you like being the king?”
6-year-old son: “Not really – I’d rather be a wizard, but it makes Georgia and Vivian happy.”
