Tactfully Breaking the Bad News

"You do all the stuff that the other one does"

"What's that then?"

"Other one stuff"

"Other one stuff? What's other one stuff?"

"All the stuff that the others haven't done, the other one does"

So...I just saw the Terrorformer episode of Red Dwarf. I knew about That One Scene of Rimmer held captive. What I really want to talk about is how the newly risen ghosts of his self-esteem are dressed as pink-clad musketeers. When he faces the physical manifestation of self-loathing, he is stripped and bound, oiled up and very vulnerable. When he regains the slightest bit of confidence and self-worth, those manifestation are dressed up in unapologetically frilly period costumes. They aren't emasculated by it or anything less than a invigorated by the affection that made them manifest. I know Rimmer's desperate attempts to be seen as macho are played for laughs but damn, it really illustrates just what a vice grip toxic masculinity has on him, particularly the kind that his family promoted. It seeps into everything else.

Noticing the brand the "Unspeakable One" was trying to brand Rimmer with in Terrorform is actually just a large H was something I didn't want to know.

really funny the time I showed Terrorform to my girlfriend because she's a psychology major and I thought she'd find it interesting but instead she just looked at me like this the entire time
