Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Today was kind of meh, but (a) my dealer's probably coming over tomorrow (b) a deservedly 5-star Cuban/Honduran restaurant opened down the street and I ate arroz con pollo and tostones probably intended to feed like four people (c) Shemp was a super-cuddly boy today and hung out on the back of my studio couch and kneaded my stuffed unicorn for like ten minutes, freakin' adorable and I wish I'd gotten pics.

god... fucking... just god fucking dammit

"You know... I think I like these fae types a lot better when they look NERVOUS. Just a little scared of _you_ is exactly where you want these motherfuckers to be."

@Soreth APPROPRIATION!!!

(fortunately, according to my new religion, appropriation is always appropriate...

@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
