I think he just looks like some Platonic ideal of hott mediterranean latin lover *insert racist stereotype here* coz even I'm feelin' that pic. But it could just be the shirt biting.

no i see it! i think there is a brando/ruffalo connection definitely

Wow. Yes.

also gabbneb, i believe that you meant unthreatening in the (nonsensical) way you claim, but that's not how it's usually used when describing men, and in your initial post "unthreatening" was certainly legible in the usual sense of "asexual" or "someone 12-year old girls would like because they don't know anything about anything."

man, that screentest. he is so bashful!

Fair enough. I'd like to think that ILX is free of that sort of thing.

and in your initial post "unthreatening" was certainly legible in the usual sense of "asexual" or "someone 12-year old girls would like because they don't know anything about anything."

Fair enough, again, but I explicated it not too many posts later (and had adverted to a genderless view in the original post).

Why the fuck are we having this discussion here when Ruffalo's chest hair presents more semiotic challenges?

Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:07 (twelve years ago) link

holy hell @ at FT's last ruffalo pic

silvana mangano, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:08 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, can we talk about that chest hair some more?

maybe you and i should just get our own thread, but to me saying that mark ruffalo is unthreatening in comparison to dudes who are more like the dude version of "strong women" is not genderless! how we characterize "strong women" and "threatening men" (lol) is all about characteristics that we think of as typically masculine.

And I think it's clear that I don't, or at least am speaking academically as if they are not. Perhaps because I was raised by equally successful parents (who admittedly are not free of gender roles)?

my dilemma here is the facial hair, i think i prefer clean-shaven ruffalo out of the box but i'm willing to entertain other povs

nuhnuhnuh, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link

ah the non-gendered paradise that is "speaking academically"

he has a clean shaven face that suggests three day stubble. he has a mussed look about him. i realise this is getting a bit terius nash.

judith, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:18 (twelve years ago) link

haha i totally end up feeling all terius nash after posting about mark ruffalo for too long

i don't think it is in any way possible to imagine such a space in which gender is abolished. and to do so would be to imagine a completely different context for desire from the one we are stuck in. what you are trying to do is p much just as dumb as what you are actually doing.

i did not know that

horseshoe, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:23 (twelve years ago) link

This is an ongoing problem, when some people are "speaking academically" from some abstract "intellectual" position and others of us are speaking from the flesh and bone experiences of our actual lives. And I'm just sick of this privileging of the former over the latter like it just doesn't ~exist~ or can be hand-waved away.

I need to go to bed. And dream of blond chesthair.

What am I doing/trying to do? If I were to speak for myself, I'd say that I'm expressing an ideal of a relationship of equals, whatever the gender, one which I think is often roughly descriptive of reality and will become increasingly moreso. Obviously, there is no true and complete equality between any two individuals, and you could argue that most relationships are founded upon one or more forms of inequality, perhaps shifting back and forth between the participants, but I think it's a useful notion, both descriptively and prescriptively.

I would not and did not claim to be speaking about your life. Why do you insist upon my inability to speak about others' and my own because it does not match yours?

illegal crew member (C.K. Dexter Holland), Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link

well then surely "threatening" is ,in this (irrelevant) formulation, a positive attribute

judith, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 00:31 (twelve years ago) link

It's like trying to talk to someone who insists that the sky is green. And you know, maybe he is actually colour blind? But no matter how many times ppl explain to him "it's commonly agreed that the sky is the colour called blue" he still just goes on insisting that it's green.

I really admire horseshoe and shakey mo for being able to keep being reasonable for do long.

He was filming in my home town and would come into the restaurant I worked at a bunch, with his fam and that guy from the sopranos.he was SUPER fucking nice, polite, authentically and easily charming, better-looking irl, and his kids were well-behaved. And he tipped really well. Xp to hs

I really want Mark Ruffalo to find this thread and read what happened here today.

Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 02:15 (twelve years ago) link

My interest is much more in discovering the basis of the attraction rather than judging it,

If a person wants to know the answer to a thing perhaps they could think about asking the question insteading of providing an answer themselves

april wowak, Wednesday, 28 December 2011 03:14 (twelve years ago) link

I guess the reason you are walking through this park is.....because shh no don't tell me I got this one...its because you are subconsciously expressing your secret desire to own....a cocker spaniel!? How about that! I bet you didn't even realize!

I learned a lot about people today

Just read all the hubbub from yesterday. If I didn't know better, it almost felt like Shakey Mo and everyone else were trolling the hell out of CK Dexter Holland. Good on ya, 'neb, for sticking up for yourself.
