Well as long as we’re talking about the ancient internet, who remembers this.

“The startling narrative compression of The Wire and Generation Kill means that no scene is ever a throwaway: miss a 10-second plot point in episode three and you’ll regret it in episode nine, when it’s suddenly crucial. “Even with shows that are somewhat sophisticated, you can take a phone call, you can have a conversation with your boyfriend or your spouse, and still pretty much grasp the show. The Wire will fuck you if you do that.” Isn’t it arrogant to presume to retrain viewers in the art of watching television? “You know what would feel arrogant to me? What would feel arrogant to me would be asking you to spend 10 or 12 hours of your time a year watching my shit, and delivering something where we didn’t hold that time precious. Last year, with The Wire and Generation Kill, HBO gave me 17 hours of uninterrupted film - almost $100m of production value. What would be arrogant would be to waste that - to tell anything less than the most meaningful possible story. Whenever I see a good subject ruined with a bad film or a bad book, I feel: shit, now it’ll be harder to go back there again. How dare you presume to tell me a story, and then not tell me the best possible story?””

when avoiding the task doesn’t even free you from the obligation of it because youll still be thinking about it fucking constantly

peoples reactions to ethel cain posting a nude tamer than many in public art museums reminds me of that post on here where ppl were saying they saw old topless women at pride and because they didn't consent and because their bodies were undesirable, it was a form of sexual harassment.

same shit here of ppl saying it's sexual harassment to just experience a queer woman's nonsexualized body existing because they view it as inherently predatory and then thats amplified even moreso by transmisogyny. like man we're never gonna fuckin free the nipple at this rate. it's some real Right To Comfort bullshit to think that trans women need the consent of.. i guess everyone on earth? before daring to exist in their bodies?

[genderoutlaws]

also this is more of an aside but in general i wish everyone could just be normal about the human body. i think everyone needs to go to a nude beach or a communal bath or something similar at least once in their lives.

obviously there’s nothing morally wrong with the projectionist lens through which a large portion of fandom operates but it does get kind of tiring to constantly feel like. hey guys what if we stopped talking about ourselves and instead talked about the character

[clementine-kesh]

and of course a degree of projectionism can be a very useful lens in certain circumstances, such as having unique insight into a character who shares certain aspects of your own experiences. but at the end of the day you still gotta recognize that there are going to be aspects of them that diverge from yourself

Seems really incomplete to frame restriction on children's ability to affirm their gender through the lens of parental domination when in fact many children in the United States cannot pursue gender affirming care despite their parents' consent. The state is not intervening on behalf of the parents, but in the name of a cloud of semiconsistent views of biological normativity: children will be doomed to unhappiness because transition is a kind of harm, regardless of whether it's a harm to be trans is to be bad, we can't let children do anything permanent because they might regret it, etc. etc. Certainly parents' rights get invoked, and the only reason this invocation is effective is because parents' rights are ordinarily overvalued. But they aren't the real justification or we would find that transition care is easy to access for any trans child with supportive parents. It's only the parents with the correct attitudes who get to exercise these rights, which means that it's not about rights but about a comprehensive view about what kind of life is good for a child to enter into.
