the guy who plays one of the ugly scientists on pacific rim ships it and didn't know his character is married in the novelization and people are mad that he's being problematic about the fictional wife who is a model and also feminism
i think he said like "She can keep up with him which is why she puts up with his bs/why it's not weird for her to have such a rando career" and someone took that to mean she's a scientist too

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 08:57 am (UTC)(link)in the novelization of the movie his character has a wife who is given nothing more than a name and profession - model ofc!!!
when the writer as asked for more deets on tumblr he flushed her out more and tumblr has grasped on for dear life, ~badass woc scientist~
and if u question the validity of her charactization ur a misogynist and only care about shipping an ugly dude with another ugly dude
yet the man who choose to not actually put any real details about this woman into his book is flawfree ofc
