I see panels like this, and I can't help but wonder, how did anyone ever miss the queer coding on this character?

last night i did a drawing of a game state in hangman. i wasn’t playing hangman, i was just drawing a moment in the game, like a still life. my friend tried to guess a letter & i had to tell her, no, we’re not playing it, it’s just a drawing of hangman, you’re losing the distinction between reality & fiction

Straights can come to the sexuality festival because at least they also have sex. Asexuals cannot come.

New stupid opinion just dropped, you may only attend the civil rights event if you arrive on site riding an enthusiastically consenting second party like a horse at the Kenfucky Derby

the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is presents a romance-style female-focused fantasy adventure, which is rare for blockbuster movies.

[argumate]

 - you are Keira Knightley, the high-spirited and ever so slightly spoiled child of a doting father who happens to be the governor

 - every man in the world is crazy about you, from the dashing naval officer who asks for your hand in marriage to the handsome young blacksmith’s apprentice who you met as a child and feel a strong bond with to the devilish pirate lord who saves your life and flirts with you shamelessly and you make out with him once but it’s for a good cause

 - you have two weddings, one where you femme it up and then it turns all emo when it rains on your wedding day and the groom is dragged off in chains by another guy who secretly has the hots for you and then you have a second wedding where you dress as a man because you’re the pirate king now and you exchange custom vows and witty banter during a sword fight with zombies

 - you are Keira Knightley

[empanadazul]

- all three of your potential love interests end up on the same ship at one point they have a lot of tension between them but they don’t fight because you told them not to

- a random pirate you knew for half an hour names you his heir and now you command one of the biggest and most important fleets in the sea

- not only that but you became the Queen of all pirates who now obey you and are at your command. You use your powers to destroy the fleet of the East India Company

- there’s a kraken

I’m sorry, KING of all Pirates, please.

Extremely fucking funny to be so into the Hot Pretty Boy Mobile Game with the incest trope and then try to justify your desire to keep playing by being like "Okay so, when he calls you his sister during sex, I believe he means like, sister in arms" like either stop playing the Incest Game or just be like "Okay yes this is not real and I want to fuck the hot pretty boy," it's so funny when people finally find their morals clashing with the part of them that are like "This fictional thing is fun" and rather than try to resolve the contradiction they're like okay here's my convoluted nonsense explanation to settle my cognitive dissonance

[parkchanwoohoo]

I can't find the tweet that said this but there was something I read a bit ago that was like, I forget the exact wording, but like "It's so funny when someone who's generally anti-taboo kink finally stumbles across one they're into and they start bending over backwards trying to explain why their enjoyment is an exception" or whatever

"porn is art" porn is exploitative and misogynistic. porn ruins women's lives. porn is full of trafficking victims. porn is often RAPE on film. porn is used to groom minors every day. the normalization of porn only increases male violence and gives men more ideas of how to humiliate and abuse us.

but you probably don't care about any victims of porn since they're mostly cis women. lol. and you wonder why we don't want a bunch of rape apologists like you in our spaces.

these are issues that heavily affect trans women but cis women love to engage in denial of this so that they can monopolize victimhood

criminalizing porn and sex work disproportionately punishes marginalized women who are forced to turn to them to survive. simplifying the issue to "porn is bad," rather than laying the blame with the porn industry and its exploitations, will not stop marginalized women from turning to porn and other forms of sex work to survive. we need to attack the industry, not porn and sex work themselves, or else we are criminalizing victims alongside their abusers

a lot of cis feminists would tell you the same thing, but for some reason because I'm a trans woman this makes me a rape apologist who can't be trusted in your local walmart bathroom

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

[buxina]

The part about it being envisioned specifically as a "village" is relevant, I think, in that these kinds of people romanticize small rural villages as this ideal form of close-knit community to which we must retvrn, in contrast to the hard, alienating city life. But I'd argue that sure, dense urban environments can be alienating in certain ways, but they're also in many ways more utopian simply in that they force people to learn to peacefully co-exist as a community with others very different from themselves. The rural village appears to live in idyllic consensus because everyone who did not fit in has either been ostracized away, worn down into conformity, or has voluntarily fled to the nearest big city as soon as they were old enough.

[unrelatedstring]

the utopian character of the city is not only in that it teaches coexistence but also in that it fosters the development of communities within its community. a city is a thousand villages you can visit and join and leave without abandoning the comforts of your home and the stability of your lifestyle and the fundamental sense that you still ultimately belong. you can have even more tightly knit communities of maximally compatible people when more people have the opportunity to self-select and be accepted into them, and to self-select out of them without the coercive force of exclusion from your entire societal context. you can also have looser communities that benefit their members without them having to holistically get along with each other! people can be in multiple of both of these at the same time!! social butterflies can flourish to the greatest extent their own bodies and brains can handle, and the most closed-off self-sufficient loner in the world can still benefit from cooperation without it being predicated on connection. the community of the city itself is simply that of sharing space, but sharing space means sharing the myriad resources and opportunities that occupy it
