Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Leucrotta @mmsword @Aradia@mastodon.social @starkatt And a moment of silence of Abraclam Lincoln, who (as we all know from the famous rhyme) lost his life to a shucking knife in 1865.

@mmsword Prehaps! I'm've was to make gender often times. Part? Know. Best women results twice seen out men. I think I has the solution: width times height.

MEN BECAUSE WOMEN TO THE ARE LEFT ALWAYS RIGHT

@anthracite Of course it is: dear, you have FIRE. <3

I've had Mojave 3's "Trying To Reach You" stuck in my head all day, but I'm not in any hurry to dislodge it. It's not an earworm so much as an ear babelfish, or maybe a tame Ceti Eel, constantly reminding me things are going to be sort of OK.

My mood is very much like an indie country song today anyhow, reflective and bittersweet. This is a damn sight better than the "Positively 4th Street stuck on repeat" that it's been for the past few months.

@mona@cybre.space Hmm, well, I've always wanted to make Chick-style tracts teaching people basic critical thinking skills and fallacy-detection. As little ideological slant as possible, just a toolkit to get (if you'll pardon the ethnic slur) the horses to water... ;)

While setting these people on (rhetorical) fire is fun, what I'm really looking forward to is cultural provocation.

It was nice getting a reminder this morning that we don't really have to work hard to antagonize these people. As the reaction to that Bonobos ad proved, just reminding them we exist kinda wounds 'em.

That's awesome. That sets the stage for all SORTS of Bugs Bunny trickster tactics. Parallax is a big red cape, and behind it is the brick wall of a Big Scary Future.

It's just...I smell so much vulnerability on these people. I smell prey that thinks "alpha status" would intimidate a tiger.

These people aren't scary. They remind me of me as an insecure 14-year-old fundie, desperately trying to keep an ideological house of cards together.

Except they're not 14. They think they're grown men, because they've been sold a concept of "growth" that favors height over depth. And all the places they're wrong about adulthood make them enticingly weak.

@mmsword The vast Sandbox Deserts of Phobos are littered with human bones, shredded red hat brims, and shredded bits of Ed Hardy couture. *nod*

I just got paid to listen to a 20-minute long argument about what "fast food" is.

You know, on a certain level... these are my people. I mean, you lot are my Not-People and that's a whole different sort of love. <3 But for people who are (so far as I can tell) mostly Terran earth-people humans, these are my kind of sapients.

@anthracite @Leucrotta I love their reason for creating it. <3

@mmsword There's always a bank account at the bottom of these things, getting padded by someone's insecurities...

I hate Terra. Wanna go home to Mars, where the boy cats love glitter and the girl cats have the biggest cocks. ;_;

Oh FFS, now the Reddit crowd is up in arms over New Zealand changing its "Linemen" signs to read "Line Crew." They're trying to argue that the change is *factually* incorrect because... well, because they don't understand what a "linguistic convention" is, but also because they insist that the suffix "-man" is a totally gender neutral abbreviation for "human." Any contrary opinion is just soyboy liberal revisionist nonsense.

I also had a lot of fun pointing out to these people, "so, what you're saying is, gender isn't necessarily tied to genetics, right? Because otherwise, all that it would take to be masculine is having a Y chromosome."

I anticipate exactly zero head explosions from this observation. They have people like Jordan "Lobster" Peterson, who make their living by taking people's house of gender cards and applying krazy glue-- with extra krazy.

But it's still fun.

Just yesterday, I probably would have let them leave me feeling self-hatey and outnumbered. But today... I'm just hopping mad.

I threw a little shade around, because I'm me... and then I went through the last seven pages of Parallax and cackled madly at our androgynous little fairy-shroom protagonists. Some people are going to absolutely hate this comic, because our innocent little bois will pose a genuine threat to their world.

*steeples fingers* Good.

Had an ad from Bonobos' #evolvethedefinition campaign come up at random on Youtube. It was a series of short testimonies from men about how the definition of "masculinity" failed to describe them. Loved it, checked the comments, was saddened but not astonished to find out they had been ransacked by the "Did You Just Assume My Gender LOL" crowd, ranting about soyboys and Cultural Marxist subversion.
