Can I just say kudos to Jessica Jones for the most realistic portrayal of White Dudes TM on a TV show yet. And by most realistic portrayal I mean the main white dudes are basically all various level of creeps. 

Kilgrave is obviously #1 AKA THE WORST DUDE EVER OMG, the most fucked up, entitled, manipulative, gaslighting, abusive rapist there is, with the additional tasty layer of never really realising/believing that what he does is wrong. The personification of everything women are afraid of in men, basically,so I don’t think I even need to go into that any more, we’ve all met at least one (hopefully less intense) Kilgrave in our lives.

Will Simpson takes the silver medal, does he ever. After the mind-control, when he gave Trish the gun so she’d feel safer I was almost starting to belive he was a good guy, but he just rubbed me the wrong way the entire time he was on screen. Like, literally, alarm bells going off in my head, and I couldn’t explain why at first, because when he’s not on drugs or under Kilgrave’s control, he seems to be a nice dude at first. I didn’t realise until going back to, like, the scene where Jessica interrupts him and Trish having sex why I couldn’t warm up to him, and then I realised a pattern in his behaviour: his creepiness is far more subtle. It’s the everyday kind of dude entitlement that he displays: he interrupts Jessica and Trish constantly, thinks he always knows better, thinks he’s the man for the job, has to protect the fragile women (despite the fact they are willing, and in some ways far better qualified than him, to take out Kilgrave), he doesn’t respect Trish’s boundaries.. So yeah, Simpson is obviously not a totally bad dude when he’s not on drugs that make him violent and lose his mind (and oh god, the lurking in front of Trish’s apartment, so creepy), but he very obviously thinks he’s better than women in every way and good god, yes, he is a creep.

The last major main white dude is Reuben. He follows quite far behind the first two, because he’s obviously not a threat; mostly, he’s just too socially inept to take a goddamn hint, and his puppy-like crush on Jessica is awkward rather than dangerous, but lbr, we’ve all dealt with a Reuben at some point in our lives, too, and it’s really fucking uncomfortable.

tl;dr: all white dudes on the show made me super uncomfortable and I’m so happy that all the MOC characters were the exact opposite of that, bless this show.

Rude girl is lonely girl! Countin’ on it.

How does it feel to be a hero?
