That awkward moment when X-Men: First Class fangirls are hating on Moira and Raven

[seriousfic]

--because they "cock-blocked" Erik/Charles.

And you're just like "bitches, I'm from LotS fandom and you don't know from cock-blocking. Where I'm from, there is literally blockage of penetration that was going to happen on screen! Your guys weren't even having sex. So why don't y'all take your busted-ass hate-on for female characters outta here, because cock-blocked is our word for us!"

I'm sorry, I just have a lot of emotions and for all we know, Richard and Kahlan still might not be having sex. Oh, and Cara/Dahlia CEASED TO EXIST and Cara/Kahlan has the same problem as Richard/Kahlan, only Cara won't be confessed, she'd suffer AN AGONIZING DEATH.

In summation: GUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLLL!

I'm from LotS fandom and you don't know from cock-blocking. TRUTH!

Every word you said about LotS was awesome in its truthfulness. Also bittersweet because I miss LotS so much.

(I'm not in X-Men movies fandom so I have nothing to say on this.)

Ms. Maryrose Byrne can do no evil. This is a fact. What is this cockblocking nonsense.

I AM MILDLY ENRAGED. I MUST PROTECT MY LADY'S HONOR!

I haven't even seen this hating on Raven and Moira theme, and I've been actively reading specifically in Charles/Erik fandom.

All I have to say is WTF.

Moira and Charles are not lovers in movieverse. Charles hits on her, she tells him to get serious because she has Important Shit to discuss, and that's that. Raven and Erik do not become lovers until *after* Erik accidentally cripples Charles and then runs off with his Brotherhood; he kissed her *once* to reassure her that she was beautiful, but he also said she was too young for him right then.

So regardless of whether or not Charles and Erik are boinking off screen, there *is* no cock blockage. Neither Moira nor Raven are having sex with either Charles or Erik during the time period of the movie. I think Moira and Charles get to have one actual sincere kiss during the climactic sequence, and then he wipes her memories later, so really.

Is this shit coming up on the kinkmeme? Because seriously I'm starting to think kinkmemes might be better named misogynymemes, given the bullshit I saw thrown at Uhura on the Star Trek kinkmeme.

Right? It seems that a female character-loving meme is long overdue!

In fact, we don't even know if Raven and Erik are lovers. It's hinted at, but then, so is Erik/Charles.

Mostly I've seen this on tumblr and ONTD. An article came out saying that most of the deleted scenes on the DVD would be about Moira and instead of going "oh, good, an underused female character is getting fleshed out," everyone's whining that there isn't more Erik/Charles, even though that's the entire movie already.

See, that--that was the gayest X-Men movie ever, and I cannot. That's not cockblocking! It's literally canon! Whether or not you agree with it, it happened! I--AAAAAAGH, FANDOM.
