Thinking About Carla Rutten

I'm Olwen. 30; white, trans lesbian (she/her). I do have a cause, though; it is obscenity. I'm for it.

[melodies-stereo]

being one of the 'good trannies' won't save you. killing your sisters won't save you from those who want you isolated or dead and keep you around only because you're a useful idiot.

hatsune miku is in a state of superposition where she is simultaneously a Real 16 y/o Girl (when you want to call a trans woman a pedophile) and a Corporate Mascot (when you want to imply a trans woman is unintelligent and naïve)

you should be allowed to not pay rent if you want

once you notice how many people complaining about trends in western fandom do so by being like “this is just like yaoi, the pinnacle of homophobic top/bottom stereotyping” it gets really annoying

[pleuvoire]

one time i saw a long post complaining about top/bottom stereotyping in western m/m fanwork that started right off by negatively calling it “yaoification” and then today i saw a post about like being unimaginative in assigning fursonas to horror characters that compared it to seme/uke and the thing is in all these cases there’s never any elaboration on the actual bl tropes being invoked. it’s just assumed that by bringing it up everyone is going to understand you mean, like, the homophobic foreign platonic ideal of whatever bad thing you’re talking about. come onnnn

[pleuvoire]

it really is just like, americans seeing american homophobia happen in american fandom americanly: what are we, a bunch of ASIANS????

[rabbitkinglune777]

I'm still disturbed by that comment about someone wanting my fursona to breed black babies into them to make nazis mad but tbh this highlights a certain conversation about racial fetishization of black people and bodies within progressive spaces, framed as inherently bold and badass when you're just as racist as the white guy dreading about "the great replacement theory"

both sides of the same coin, it's very racist and I'm gathering from my experiences that these racist white people fetishize not just the black body but the idea of black domination and triumph over antiblackness and bigotry. it's their ultimate anti racist fantasy.

and don't get me started on it hyper-masculinizing black bodies too because my sona was drawn in a bikini expressing his gender non conformity. it's really racist and dehumanizing.

[rabbitkinglune777]

I'm ultimately disturbed by using the existence of black children as political fodder to make bigots upset in your fetish fantasy. it's so fucking scary and freaky to say this because black children already have their lives stripped away from them violently and deserve to exist free of stress and to NOT have their entire lives politicized.

Au where in her 20’s Dean gets a job in the guild as Sheila’s assistant. She gets paid through Stuyvesant’s internship program and sometimes she can bring coffees without dropping them 😁

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[transhuman-priestess]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

[fuckblast]

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[transhuman-priestess]

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

"Marx and Magolor are besties!" I understand, I hear you, however I need you to consider:

They act like besties, everyone thinks they are, but they absolutely hate each other. They're the only ones who know, and they do it extremely passive aggressively. I have no explanation or basis for this other than I think it would be extremely funny.

watching sinners with an inflation calculator open in a second tab so i can understand just what kinda money the smokestack twins are throwing around. nerdiest possible movie experience i think.

[tbqtalks]

Okay coming out of lurking for this because among the many great features of Sinners is you don't actually have to go outside of the movie to understand what kind of money they're throwing around. The movie tells you itself.

In the scene where Smoke teaches the young girl how to negotiate, they're standing in front of of a cafe. The shot of them negotiating is framed so that you see a sign in the cafe window advertising a Ham and Eggs breakfast - in other words, a full meal - for 25 cents. The editing makes sure to put that sign back into frame whenever the question of the value of money arises in their discussion.

Smoke offers her 10 cents a minute and asks if that works for her. She says yes. He says no, it does not and tells her to negotiate higher. The 25 cent sign is framed in the shot when he tells her no, reminding us *why* it's not a good value.

She comes back with 50 cents - which the sign has informed us is the cost of *two* meals. Smoke tells her that's too much and counters with 20, which is just under a full meal but we now know that's a fairly respectable price because we just got the high/low contrast of 10 being too little and 50 being too much.

The negotiation ends with her getting 20 cents per minute and we now know 1) 25 cents is the cost of a filling meal in this environment 2) This girl only needs to do five minutes of work to be able to feed herself for a over day (20 cents per minute times five is a dollar, which is four meals) 3) Smoke has the kind of money to throw around that over a day's worth of food for someone can be to him - as it is to our modern eyes - mere pocket change and 4) Smoke's the kind of person who can both be a violent gangster but also care about teaching this girl how to look out for herself so that one day maybe she too can throw over a day's worth of food around like pocket change.

Combined with 5) you can now use that 25 cents = a meal to do the math every other time money gets mentioned in the movie to understand just how much cash the Smoke Stack boys are dealing with.

And that's just ONE detail which, thanks to props (Hannah Beachler), editing (Michael P Shawver), and cinematography (Autumn Durald Arkapaw), told you almost everything you needed to know about how finances work in this environment. This movie is unfair to all other films in how fucking good it is.
