Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Soreth Not unless you are all of the following

(a) a sphinx
(b) black
(c) made of quartz

either before or after your TF stock footage

I took a Socio 101 course in college. I loved it. And I could have absolutely sworn that I read a quote in our textbook from an African-American researcher who proposed that racial relations improve in direct proportion to the number of civil, open conversations happening between people of different races, as equals and as part of daily life, where racial politics is not involved.

I really wish I had that textbook, could confirm the source, and could get the details. What I have instead is a cup of tears, from pondering just how far away we've drifted away from that ideal.

@JulieSqveakaroo (I've seen both variations used commonly, but chose this admittedly rarer one for the purposes of satirizing low-context cancellation crusades. *nod* )

Typographers, please note: "the quick fox jumps over the lazy brown dog" is now cancelled.

You know damn well why. >_<

@001zlnv Yup. This was pointed out to the OP in that very same thread and she just kind did a step-dodge and went "well, clearly, my point still stands anyway!"

She repeated a pun about Bow having a brother named Sow who's a farmer.

And she quoted the name of a podcast with the, quote, "D-slur" in it.

Oh, and the only non-binary character in the show is "cast as a pedo" because they shapeshifted into a child -- for eminently sensible and unrelated plot reasons.

That's it.

I. Want. People. To. Die.

Seriously. You ever wonder if maybe some of the people complaining about us HAVE A COUPLE OF DECENT FUCKING POINTS?

Don't worry, all they've done is convince me that both sides need to be burnt to the ground, Trump first then this bullshit, and replaced with... anything, really.

Aaaand another vital queer creator is canceled for minor infractions of Proper Courtly Queer Etiquette. Now it's Noelle Stephenson of She-Ra, for some offense she apparently committed on a chat -- and even after reading the list of complaints I confess I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW WTF IS GOING ON.

Fuck. This. Whole. Subculture.

I am out. I don't think I can even call myself a "queer ally" anymore. I've got your backs when the shit *actually* hits the fan, but I have got nothing but hostility left for these little armchair crusaders and I'm not going to fight on their site in these increasingly petty and stupid culture wars.

They deserve Trump and vice versa. A pox on both their houses, Kuwabatake Sanjuro Was Right, and so forth.

@Balinares Yeah, I just *can't* go back to F-List for exactly that reason.

@spacewastrel@yiff.life It... it was an extremely mixed bag. In retrospect I did not actually have much *fun* there, but others who were not having to play hostess might feel differently.

"No."

This one is not up for debate. I don't care what anyone else thinks, this is madness.

@Soreth I mean, you're absolutely right, and it's practically iconic anyhow that Batman is the LEAST interesting person in Gotham. Especially in the Adam West days, the villains were where all the charm went...

After a dear friend of mine has been complaining of feeling ostracized, I'm finding myself almost... *almost* tempted to open my heart up again and start an RP hangout on idunnodiscordorsomething.

I just don't think I can, though. I took -- and caused -- far too much damage trying to keep Puzzlebox and 12Fold together, and I had Acetone Kitten's indefatigable and patient help for both of those -- two traits I KNOW I am no longer able to muster.

It's just weird finding myself even able to entertain the notion again, that's all.

@zx3 @Soreth Actually, Andy Daly is best Batman, but for reasons I *really* do not expect anyone else here to get, given it requires matching one of the most grueling social discomfort comedies in history. :O

@Soreth Heh. Adam West's Batman is a cop the same way that Captain Crunch is a member of the military industrial complex. It's just pantomime.

If I have to give up Jake Peralta, Sherlock Holmes, and Batman because they're "copaganda," you have to give up Anubis.

He might be cute and buff, but he's in charge of an entire metaphysical system meant to reinforce the superiority of a dictatorial, slave-owning aristocratic class, even beyond the grave.

He's Pharaohganda. He's gotta go.

Today I saw people fighting over whether it was prejudiced to apply the term "jacking off" instead of "jilling off" to a trans woman with a cock and I think it's time to burn off all remaining traces of my gender and species with a blowtorch, abandon all human language, and go live in a cave.

(Peg is allowed to visit as long as she doesn't tell me what the rest of y'all are doing. 😜​)

@Balina @anthracite It's just that kind of city. After a year living here, this and a host of other things don't even seem strange anymore.

@nautilee Thank you! Three minipanthers, three tabbies, and... umm... an "other."
