goingpostale asked: Would you say that Vanessa and Hermann are equals (whether that be in wit, scientific knowledge, familiarity, maturity, or what have you)? I'm hopeful that they are and I imagine that she can hold her own with him when it comes to his work, regardless of and/or despite her profession.

Certainly in wit and capacity. Hermann is so lofty and earnestly pragmatic that it’s hard to imagine him much noticing a pretty face on its own merits. It really can only have been something more interesting.

he's not like those other dudes who just date hot chicks, she has to be smart AND hot. but still hot tho, no uggos.

is this why everyone suddenly thinks she's a scientist

a badass woc scientist

it's why she's suddenly his equal yes. also only on tumblr could a throwaway line that was clearly meant to be geek wish fulfillment bc an sj issue.

the fact that it's suddenly ~misogyny to question how men write women is what's driving me crazy about this

idec about pacific rim

pretty much, it reminds me of the "criticizing how women are drawn in comics is awful bc they could choose to wear thongs all the time and that's fine" thing

there are male writers making these choices and, whether you like the canon or not, a lot of these choices suck

I mean shit there was only one female character with any real lines in pacific rim. how is it so out there to say gee maybe it's a little bit sexist

tumblr has a weird thing of taking rly shallow wish fulfillment stereotypes and pretending they're super progressive

like no I get it take what u can get, i love lots of things that only have one female character

but if she's wearing a miniskirt and likes to be a kissogram it's probably bc moffat gets off on that, not bc amy believes in sexual autonomy and is very hardfemme

oh god how can anyone defend how amy was written? liking a character is one thing but lbr she could've been a cop but he hates women in authority. see also how shit martha was treated even without the racism.

Hermann is so lofty and earnestly pragmatic that it’s hard to imagine him ~~much noticing a pretty face on its own merits~~ going outside

lol

he's probably a quirkyalone

she's a quirkyalone, he's a heteroromantic homodemisexual
