need y'all to know that most academics have publicly searchable email addresses and this not only makes their day but they can put nice emails in their giant packets for applying for jobs or tenure. "hi i read your paper for a class and it was very helpful, im at xyz college and the class is blah with professor blah" is sufficient and ENORMOUSLY helpful

It seems that, once again, when you can't kudos, commenting is the way to go

Usually south park's relevancy feels very fake and surface level to me, but it's really something how trump and his base are actually, visibly much more enraged by this than they've been about any other criticism, any other show, any other enemy I've seen in the entire near-decade of his political career. Fucking South Park got to them more than the combined effort of a million other comedians, journalists, parodies, academic criticisms or protest efforts. Like it's BAD. Like they want the creators in prison and want to consider this a hate crime.

What they actually do in this episode that has magas losing their shit, besides Trump dating Satan:

-The same voice and even distinct music they used for Saddam Hussein 26 years ago is used for Trump, with Satan complaining that Trump is exactly like his ex.

-Trump is depicted threatening to sue an artist for not painting him with a bigger penis than he actually has.

-The media is depicted as spinelessly holding back their true feelings about Trump to avoid getting sued.

-A B-plot has Cartman wanting to kill himself because he no longer feels "special" in an America that has become more hateful than he is.

-Jesus Christ is depicted as having also been silenced by a Trump lawsuit and lives in fear of saying anything bad about Trump out loud.

-Epstein is brought up of course.

-The episode ends airing a convincing AI deepfake of Trump stripping naked as he wanders through a desert, then his tiny floppy penis sprouts cartoon eyes and says "I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message." This is the part magas believe should count as an actual felony crime, and funny enough also comes right after Trump gave a rambling speech endorsing AI and an executive order to protect it from liability. It's only been a day or two, and is now the first time in history that the white house is officially arguing with a tv show.

I'd like to add, for anyone who does not know, South Park makes its episodes entirely inside the 7 days preceding the episode airing.

Which means, unlike animated shows whose episodes are months or years in the making, South Park can play ball in real time.

The White House rising to the bait is incredibly stupid specifically because South Park can literally answer them next week.

my entire life middle aged white dads have been telling me that South Park is an incredibly subversive and meaningful artistic piece with important sociopolitical commentary and never once have I observed anything approaching this for myself until this exact moment

I now understand that the TV show that I could not make myself enjoy fills an important ecological niche:

Being so viscerally embarrassing to look at that to be featured is to become the social equivalent of a dead whale drifting to the bottom of the ocean

Reminder that no matter how horny you think the Warframe fanbase is, the devs are always hornier.

"Warframe has gone woke with this pride stuff!!1!"

Meanwhile Warframe has

-two old gay guys who love each other

-a group of traumatized pansexuals that you can romance

-a genderfluid Warframe

-a non-binary Warframe

-a polyamoures Warframe

-whatever the fuck Lizzie and Flare have going on with each other

whatever the fuck Tyl Regor has going on with your Warframe

Warframe has always been like this!

fire-700

There is also:

A family of people that are half aristocrats, half alien virus, half floor and at least 2 of them have the hots for you (or even more likely, your Warframe).

A character that's trans, who is friends with a guy who identifies as legs.

A bisexual Dax warrior.

And VIctor.

queer people on this site really make me feel like a confused straight guy at pride. the discourse here could kill a man

"why polyamorous people aren't valid" "mspec lesbians AREN'T okay actually" "aroallos are freaks" "he/him dni. cis men dni" "this post is for non-men only" yessss and the one with long hair goes in the girl box, then the one with short hair goes in the boy box!!

maybe I'm just a boring he/him white guy but inventing about 7 trillion terms to define "man" and "woman" so you can reinforce gender essentialism isn't very "love is love" of you. maybe i just don't have a sexuality but picking and choosing what sexualities are normal and which ones are "weird and predatory" sounds like we're all a bunch of republicans on fox news. if you attend your local pride parade and look REAAALLLYYY closely, you'll notice you can't actually tell if someone's gay or not from their appearance, and there's no way to know if they're "invading queer spaces". maybe it's just me, but when i attended my local gaybar last night for the drag show, they didn't ask for my gay-card with a peer reviewed diagnosis of faggot stamped on it. they just let me in the building. i live a life of bliss and luxury in not caring about any queer discourse ever, and just going "WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY :-)" while booting up the latest cod game. and it seems much more fun than whatever the fuck you people are on about

There are hardly any female werewolves because they break all the classic rules of femininity. They force you to confront female violence, strength, size, grotesqueness and uncontrollability. Historically female shapeshifters always shift into something dangerous (snake) or sleek (cat) or dainty (bird) but female werewolves ignore the masculine gaze completely. They're distorted beasts that have no ulterior motive except to destroy. Nothing about them is nurturing or modest. They're the opposite of what a woman "should be." Their omission from pop culture is not an accident.

I know this is maybe not the point of the post, but this reminded me of this beautiful poem called When My Wife Is A Werewolf by Rosamund Taylor which I really adore so I thought I would share it.

This is taken from a collection of contemporary queer Irish poetry called Queering the Green, which has some truly wonderful work in it and is available from The Lifeboat Press (currently sold out but hopefully available again soon if you're interested).
