I still haven't seen the movie, and now I wonder if I can see it in its original context. But I guess now Babadook is a gay icon?
"an allegory for how normative heterosexual culture reacts to a confrontation with anormal queer culture, particularly one that is unabashedly campy and theatrical"
@Firstaide So I can see the "escaped prisoners" not caring too much for collateral damage when their lives are at stake and they just want to escape.
@Firstaide after reading into the deeper idwverse, it's much easier for me to have sympathy with the "bad guys". Some Cybertronians didn't recognize organic life as life at all, it was so different and weird. Fewer recognized that organic life could have basic thoughts and feelings. And it's common enough for humans to not care about animals, being superior in size and intelligence, unfair to hold mysteries aliens to a much higher standard...
@Firstaide I got up to s2e4 before not liking her again. She confronts the Decepticon of the week with, "I'm charging you with arson, and whatever else I can think of" while smacking her hand with her weapon, like she'd be happy to add "and resisting arrest". I'm acutely aware at this point she's a police suv, and my imagination takes over.
@Firstaide I was starting to like Strongarm, or at least her inclusion. Female character, professional, not given grief over her gender, and a body shape that's not the stereotypical sexy hourglass.
@Dellecat Hello! 🍍

Please enjoy this clip of Richard Spencer being punched to the 1812 Overture.

In honor of Pride month. LGBTQ Muslims exist and we're all pretty awesome tbh.

POEM OF MINE (cw: meds, ableist slurs, mention of trauma)
I cannot live forever
When I froze at only ten
A foggy past of trauma
That I'm reliving again
My pills are not erasers
And my strength is not a prize
It's victory for me each time
a sunrise hits my eyes
They treat me like I chose it
Call me crazy, psycho, nuts
I want to prove them right sometimes
But I don't have the guts
It's easy passing judgement
When you're able & you're free,
but survival has a meaning
when you're somebody like me

@Trilliant Also, nothing stopping you from maintaining multiple accounts! Crack open your spell book and curse fascism at witches.town, stroll around in 24th century spandex at tenforward.social, or eeeeee e eeee at dolphin.town. :)
@Trilliant Can think of it like an email service. If you change providers, you'll have to export/import your address book and tell everybody your new email address. You can find the import/export in settings somewhere.
It's that way as a feature, not a bug, to ensure there is not and never will be a central location that can control the Fediverse. No central authority to corrupt or sell out, and can be routed around in the case of failure.
@Trilliant If you really want no holds barred wild west "No censorship!" type of place, check out the ban list here https://awoo.space/about/more or at various other instances.
Alternatively, be mindful of others, still have your say, but make use of the cw feature and image hiding. If you have concerns, chat up your instance's moderator(s), who are volunteers wanting to make the experience great, and not corporate drones designed to kill all fun. :)
