Blade: Trinity
The Nightstalker's were supposed to get a spin-off movie or tv series but obviously it never came to fruition. Even if it had it likely wouldn't have cast these two as the returning actors for a tv series, maybe a movie though and that would have been awesome. I always pictured them raising Zoe together.
I can't believe I have to explain this but you keep trying to play the "GAY AND LESBIAN ARE ALSO SLURS CHECKMATE QUEERPHOBE" card and. Yes. They have been used as slurs by dumb cunts that don't actually know what they mean. But if you look at the definition of the actual words:
Gay: Lighthearted and carefree. Similar: Cheerful, cheery, merry, jolly
Lesbian: Originating from the mid 18th century, from Greek Lesbios, from Lesbos, home of Sappho, who expressed affection for women in her poetry.
Queer: Strange, Odd, slightly ill, to spoil or ruin
So can you understand why someone would be more okay with being called a word that means merry or a word named after an island with a poet, versus being called strange, odd or ruined?
I'm not strange. I'm not odd. I'm not a freak, or ruined, or damaged, or sick. So forgive me for not wanting to call myself those things and not wanting those labels forced onto me by strangers who think my trauma doesn't matter and that I should just suck it up and get over it.
You keep screaming "LEARN YOUR HISTORY!!!" But my history is full of people like me being killed or assaulted or jailed or thrown in institutions to be tortured because we're labeled as sick, or damaged, or freakish, or dangerous.
So yes, queer is a slur. It has been used as a slur. It's still being used as a slur. It's definition is awful. But that doesn't mean you can't reclaim it.
If being reminded of a words origins upsets you so much then, well, you tell us to suck it up and get over our trauma with the word, so suck it up and do the same.
Does the phrase "Not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you" sound familiar at all because I gotta admit I'm feeling really queer at you right now
I see your “Keira Knightley Orlando Bloom Pirates of the Caribbean” bisexual awakening and I raise you a “Jessica Biel Ryan Reynolds Blade: Trinity” bisexual awakening
Ok but the whole Kinnporsche is the modern Thai remake of Goncharov (1973) joke inadvertently causing people to think that Kinnporsche isn't a real show is very funny cause like.... if without context you told me about a mafia movie from the 70s produced by Martin Scorsese staring Robert De Niro with lots of homoerotic subtext and catholic imagery then you told me about a softcore gay porn show from Thailand about the mafia that had a complete theatrical release, originally based on a novel where the guy who inspired one of the main characters not only funded the TV show but also played the character who was based on him and then asked a guy he met once modeling 10 years ago to come back to Thailand and play the other main character and includes scenes like: lead character getting absolutely railed in an infinity pool in front of Deutsche Bank, side character + antagonist having bdsm gay sex in a torture dungeon following the emotional death of the antagonist's pet hedgehog, and pop star/secret mafia prince leaving dead bodies of would be assailants without context like a stray cat for his ex boyfriend that he broke up with but is also trying to win back. And then you told me that one of these is real and the other is a collective joke made by tumblr people, I would lose my mind when you told which was which.
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) is fantastic bc if you try hard enough it can really be about anything. It’s about capitalism. It’s about the horrors of the medical-industrial complex. It’s about the ways fathers fail their children, and how their children can grow past them. It’s about all the bizarre and self-destructive ways people get by in a world where human bodies, living and dead alike, are reduced to marketable commodities. It’s about ripping that guy’s spine right out. It’s about legacies of trauma. It’s about the importance of giving Sarah Brightman a sick-ass solo. It’s about self-determination and the struggle for bodily and moral autonomy in a corporate state. It’s about what happens if you give a bunch of goths in 2008 an $8.5mil budget. All of these interpretations are true and meaningful, but above all, you must always remember that Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) is stupid as fuck.
Heyo, i think the person asking about pro-shipping probably meant pro-shipping as in incest and MAP shipping, etc, something pro-shipping is often associated with (for the record i wholeheartedly agree with your stance tho, just thought this might clear things up sorry ^^")
Sigh
I appreciate your attempt to clear things up, but I know exactly what bullshit they meant and were trying to start and I'm not here for it. The rest of this is not directed at you, personally, but something I am going to say in general.
Gonna get long so buckle up.
The issue is that "proshipping" isn't really... a thing. There's fandom, existing as it ever has and ever will, and there's a group of people calling themselves antishippers and generally making a nuisance of themselves, if not acting outright dangerously toward real people, doing things like sending death threats. And that second group has decided for everyone else that if you're not on their side, then you're a ~*~proshipper,~*~ and therefore evil. But the thing is... I have far more respect for any kind of shippers (yes, including ~*~those~*~ kind) that are minding their own business and only dealing in fictional characters than I do for any antishipper that attempts to harm actual human beings by attacking them over fictional characters. Incest, underage, noncon, dubcon, extreme violence, murder, MCD, dark fic, super kinky smut- ALL of it, ANY of it- there is nothing, not one single imaginary thing, that someone can do to a fictional character (aka a fake person) that is worth bringing real harm to a real living flesh and blood person. This goes all ways; there is nothing anyone finds/reads in fiction that justifies hurting real human beings in the real world, just so we're clear.
How you treat actual real life people is far, far more important to me than how you treat fictional characters, and antis are well known for hurting real people. That concerns me far more than which fake people someone I don't know is having do bad things to other fake people in said someone's sandbox, particularly if that sandbox (regardless of what's inside) has a clear label that says "these are the things you'll see if you step into this sandbox, enter at your own risk." As far as I'm concerned, that's a law abiding citizen of their fandom. The antis careening around making it everyone else's problem that they made the bad decision to participate in the self harm of entering sandboxes that hurt them despite the warnings... are not.
And they may not be the exact same assholes as the ones that got huge swaths of fandom (including a LOT of collateral damage) cut down in the past, but they're the same ilk, and just as intolerable. They're starting with the biggest, hottest buzzwords they can find, they're doing their level best to try to associate and equate mundane shipping and general fandom (which has traditionally included all of the good and bad and weird, and should continue to contain all of the good and bad and weird) with horrible real life things happening to real life people in an attempt to stop people from doing fake things to fake people because They Don't Like It and are for some reason physically incapable of minding their own fucking business. They're trying to make anyone that writes about a subject equal/equivalent to anyone that participates in that subject in real life, which is so absolutely ridiculous I don't even have words for it.
They're trying to make shipping a dirty word, when it's not. They've always been trying to do this in some fashion, it's not new. The word shipping literally exists because of the split between "relationshippers" and others in the X-Files fandom, to distinguish between people that shipped and people that didn't because the people that didn't, didn't want to be associated. And antis are doing the same thing now, and being much bigger assholes about it, creating the word "proshipper" and then trying to set up a false equivalency around it. And I'm not going to do that, I'm not going to help the antis. I'm not going to let them make my word a dirty word. I'm not going to "I'm not like other girls" this word. I am a shipper. There's good and bad and weird in that, like with all things. Other shippers or writers/readers write about and read about all SORTS of things for all sorts of REASONS and it's none of my fucking business what things they're making or reading about fake people, or why. It doesn't matter! Making or consuming those things, regardless of what they are, is not remotely the same thing as hurting real people in real life.
My business in fandom is to mind my fucking own. I've been here 25 years, I will be here at least 25 more; I will remain long after antis have chosen new buzzwords and tactics and names for themselves (and put fandom in new boxes of their own design like "proshipper" what a fucking eyeroll) when their crusades either fail or wreck something for everyone. Fandom has existed since long before me, and whether it proceeds intact or with another scar, it will pick up and endure long after I am gone.
This is a Ship And Let Ship household. This is a Don't Like? Don't Read household. This is a Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's Okay household. This is a Real People Matter More Than Fictional People household. This is a Protecting All Of Us Includes Protecting The Least Of Us household. This is a The Back Button Is Right There And It's Free household. This is a Curate Your Own Experience household. This is a mind your own fucking business household.
