yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

storm-of-feathers

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

#fun fact: the composer is a pegot

Begging and pleading with Kate Baldwin to be more mindful of where she books her regional theatre. It's gotta be accessible via public transportation from NYC, because I cannot feasibly get to Berkshire, what the fuck, Kate?

#she's doing summer 1976 I'm going to pitch a fit I love that play #and she's playing alice so not even the repressed one #she gets to be the jessica hecht free spirited weed smoker whose totally oblivious to the sexual tension

I just think it would be more fun if they were both women, but *that's* never gonna happen.

#at least second stage has a lesbian play in their off-broadway lineup #I mean...it's kind of a weird one and historical accuracy flew out the window but fuck it

lilias-craven

I don't know I just think that the first two seasons (the first especially) actually had pretty much the same amount of plot and stakes as S3 but people didn't view it that way because the women and their friendships were actually central to the story in those plots

#the met opera stakes were actually life or death for these women and that may seem unbelievably privileged and trite today #but that's all they had and I shan't denigrate it #also. I like the drama of running around chasing after a (mostly unseen) duke or articulating a well-placed barb across a dinner table #the soup drama??? come on. truly the pinnacle #and did ada's husband not tragically die in season two??? did anne morris's husband not shoot himself in the head???

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

hey staff what the fuck

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

Can't wait for Enid's Ao3 tag to be "Enid Turner | Enid Winterton | Enid van Rhijn" next season.

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

bigfatbitchdotcom

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

bigfatbitchdotcom

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

its-the-blob

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

ralfmaximus

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

In a shocking turn of events, Celebrity Autobiography has beat out Call Me Izzy for lowest-grossing show in recent memory. The show grossed $44k last week, compared to Izzy's lowest $56k during Jean Smart's injury. It also beat out Jeff Ross for lowest average ticket price at $27.85.

#and they want this to last through the summer?

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
