"how do you feel about labels as a queer person?"
sex testing isn't making people discover that they're intersex, it's making people intersex. if someone's sex characteristics are imperceptibly different to what sex defines they should have, it wouldn't have placed them in a different social category until both the technology and the drive to test were there. ppl just don't really believe that sex categories are also socially constructed and fluid. things like hormone levels naturally wildly range between people before it gets to a point where someone looks noticeably "different" for their sex—a cafab person with testosterone levels deemed high today would not have been intersex 200 years ago unless they displayed noticeably masculinised features, because nobody would have known anyone's testosterone levels and therefore can't use that as a basis for treating someone differently!
Love the thought of some sort of high fantasy amitheasshole forum
AITA for not telling my new party why I broke things off with my cursed greatsword?
I know how it sounds, but like, bear with me.
I (28/F/former paladin), had been travelling with a cursed greatsword (Immeasurable/F/Sword) and was really into her for a long time. When we first met she told me she was the disembodied spirit of an ancient warlord and beamed images of a beautiful raven haired warrior in gorgeous blackened Gothic armor into my mind, she told me it was her true form and I was super into it so I forsook my paladin oath and we started hooking up
Early on in our relationship she was really supportive when I started to transition, telling me she was "nearing her apotheosis" as well. I didn't think much of it at the time, and dutifully listened to her when she told me to travel the kingdom and assemble the ritual objects for her ascension. There was a team of adventurers that tried to stop us and she told me to kill them but one of them was my former best friend Sir Roderick The Bold (25/M/Paladin) so I refused and only incapacitated them. She didn't like that and we had a huge fight about it after we'd left
Long story short after I'd done the ritual and assembled the artifacts she revealed her true form was a ruse and she was actually just a mass of tentacles and eyes (which I don't mean to yuck anybody's yum mentioning, it's just that tentacles don't really appeal to me lol)
She said she was going to consume the world, "starting with you" and that I had "outlived my usefulness". I felt really shocked and betrayed and helped the adventuring party that was following us around to defeat her and seal her back in the sword (which I left there), but I feel really bad about it
I sorta got adopted by them since then and they keep telling me things like "Good job resisting the influence of the cursed sword!" And "How did you break free of her mind control?" Or "I am happy to see you've chosen the path of righteousness." And I haven't told them I wasn't ever under a spell or anything, I was just really mad at her at the time and lashed out. AITA?
some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

hey kitten. daddy needs to talk to you. your kink blog is great, but you are not highlighting the words correctly. kitten. stop highlighting. this is shit. did you seriously highlight that period. kitten.
it is straight up anti-intellectual to claim feeding special paste to dogs isnt punk rock
What if I turn dogs into a special paste?
we need more people like you to help the movement
I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"
i love that the past years of beggars at the feast line changes have created a narrative starting with 'thenardier is homophobic' to 'thenardier has given it some thought, realised some things about himself and is now bicurious' to the current 'thenardier has finally given gay sex a go'. and the thing is that literally nobody asked for this to happen
speaking of things that literally nobody asked for... i do think the best way to experience this journey is to hear it for yourself. so, presenting, the evolution of bisexual icon thenardier:
1. the classic
as a reminder, here is the line as it originally stood. this is from the live recording of the all-star staged concert, where it was still in place:
transcript: here comes a prince / there goes a jew / this one's a queer / but what can you do?
2. the quiche
enter the staged concert of 2021. there had clearly been a behind-the-scenes conversation that went along the lines of 'this line is problematic, we must update it for a modern audience'. and this was the baffling result:
transcript: here comes a prince / he's nouveau riche / this one looks queer / i bet he likes quiche
3. the bicuriosity
quiche made it over to the west end revival and stuck around for a couple of years, but by mid 2023, thenardier had done some personal reflection:
transcript: here comes a prince / there goes a jew / this one looks queer / i might try that too
4. the bicuriosity: part 2
by early 2024, thenardier is actively seeking new experiences:
transcript: here comes a prince / there goes a lord / i'll keep him in mind / in case i get bored
5. diversity win!
which leads us to the current line in which we have a thenardier who is out and proud
transcript: here comes a prince / mais entre nous / this one's a queer / and i've tried that too
anyway, i can't wait to see where this story takes us next! i'm holding out hope for turnchetta finally going canon
This is a long shot, but do you happen to know anything about where the "otome isekai / villainess isekai" manga/anime genre originated? Looking it up online, people have been pointing to "My Next Life as a Villainess - All Routes Lead To Doom", or "From Bureaucrat to Villainess" / "Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan", but I swear I remember hearing about inspirations from a very specific 90s/early 2000s era dating sim and its villainess character.
There are a couple of distinct evolutions in play here. First, you've got the constellation of tropes surrounding the shipping-the-otome-protagonist-with-her-designated-rival subgenre, which basically all trace back to the Angelique fandom. Many designated rival characters in games of this type are obvious expies of Rosalia (the designated rival from the first game in the Angelique series) even today; this is probably the 1990s dating sim series you're recalling. The idea of playing as the designated villain/rival (with or without the isekai element) and trying to romance/seduce the nominal protagonist is a later evolution, and I'm not particularly well versed in when and how that development came along – you'd have to ask somebody else about that part!
i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are
and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy
Making women up like it's a job
