"Clearly I wasn't talking about disabled people-" yeah part of the problem is that the existence of disabled people just isn't considered in your worldview like that's the problem we're criticizing not a get out of jail free card

#red dwarf #moonlight speech! moonlight speech!

it is deeply upsetting that season 8 is so very, very bad, because lots of the lister/rimmer stuff is actually really intriguing in terms of: lister is just very clearly pleased to have A Rimmer even if it is not HIS rimmer exactly and so his jokes are quite gentle (for these characters!) and also inviting rimmer in on the joke - like the opening sequence of lister trying to get rimmer to talk to him is SO CHARMING to me. that is a lister who is just delighted by Rimmer’s annoyance! And then you get the “”””””””joke””””””” at the end of the episode and it is like jfc yeah that’s why season 8 has the reputation it has, what is wrong with everyone involved in this.

#red dwarf #but like! I would watch approximately 100 hours of rimmer and lister being weird and bantery and trying to bait each other in their cell #And I would rather not watch ANY of the rest of season 8 thanks #krytie tv in particular I AM LOOKING AT YOU #EXCEPT bob the skutter I love you

you might think the worst type of adaptation that can happen to a fandom is a bad one. but in truth, i find that's rarely the case. usually the world at large doesn't pay attention, the fandom unites around the piece's badness, and otherwise continues along as usual. hell, if the adaptation is so-bad-it's-good then it really can evolve into quite a nice treat, once the sting has worn off.

no, what you actually gotta look out for is the mediocre adaptations. the pretty but soulless adaptations. the technically-competent-but-misses-the-point adaptations. because there will be enough folks who think that the new Adaptation is Good, Actually, and no matter how politely you word your disagreement, they will resent you for saying as much.

#prev you are so right about Emma #that adaptation was very clearly inspired by the marie antionette film which I actually love but that doesn’t work for jane austen #Austen is already funny! Being arch about it all makes it worse!#This is a recurring problem in adaptations of her work tbf #See also Pride and Prejudice (sort of)#I do have another take but I fear it is too hot

The reason they make you do group project at school is as a preventative measure against falling into conspiracy theories as an adult. The vast majority of the population can and will come out of the experience with a much better understanding of just how goddamn impossible it is to make multiple people do what they were supposed to do, everything they were supposed to do, and nothing but what they were supposed to do. You can't make five people do that, and yet billions of people are keeping this supposed machine rolling?

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

It was women with secretarial jobs doing a lot of the heavy lifting, if memory serves correctly.

They had training in type setting, could churn things out quickly, knew how to organise mailing lists, and had easy access to Expensive High Tech like photocopiers.

Boss make a dollar, she makes a dime. That's why she's printing Kirk X Spock zines on company time.
