similarly bury your gays was about gay trauma being played for cheap emotional payoff while also removing the queer characters from the larger narrative. in "doomed yuri" the gay trauma *IS* the narrative, and it deserves to be explored.
One of the most frustratingly stupid things about the way online discourse brain talks about women in fiction is that it refuses to understand that harmful tropes is a *sociopolitical act and exercise of power,* not a matter of arbitrary artistic taste
@kalina2hu.bsky.social · 13h agoIt's been two months and hoes are still mad af that Jax is real as fuck and not a comfortable trans character contained within archetypes safe for transphobia
fighting games yuri and shangri-la frontier are the only two gamer shows/literature/potential movies ever
and for it’s worth, the last game to win was Word Game, which I’d argue is the perfect game to represent what the goals of the award are. So I don’t wanna see “he didn’t look hard enough for creativity” takes because I doubt most people knew that game exists! I didn’t until the award, and it’s cool!
AUTOMATON WEST@automatonwest.bsky.social · yesterdayMasahiro Sakurai discontinues Game Designers Award after 16 years after failing to find successor, warns fellow devs that an industry without originality “will die a slow death” The last game to receive the award was Word Game by Team9 automaton-media.com/en/news/masa...
and dude actively searched, which you can fully believe with his work ethic
this was the awards show equivalent to “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and it dying because there weren’t enough creative people followed by an ominous speech by one of the greats should be a canary in a coal mine situation

Two instances of euro characters being extremely Japanese that is very funny to me is Bridget guilty gear having a food ick for broiled sea cucumber and senshi dungeon Meshi using a santoku
Oh shit apothecary diaries, ranma, *and* wild last boss new seasons next season, along with fucking dragon ball super?

@kalina2hu.bsky.social · last mo.And yet no transphobe in the history of the world has ever or will ever weaponize her the way they do John Money or the like two trans shooters in the history of mass shooters. Every transphobic mention no exceptions tries to cisgender her,
UPDATE: SCP Foundation have posted a statement saying they were not consulted or contacted about the A24 SCP project. scp-wiki.wikidot.com/statement-on...
anyway hey @aftermath.site or @404media.co this A24/SCP thing seems like it could be a Huge Deal as companies are increasingly looking to mine internet culture for their new brands, and *no one* covering this seems to have any idea that this is anything other than just another V/H/S sequel

sarah zedig 🐐@hmsnofun.bsky.social · 5d agohey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk
huh, it's almost like American liberalism is a hateful abuser psychology with all of the frame perfect same moves of flip flopping between completely opposite claims just to "no u" you in the moment
👁️🍄🪸@bloomfilters.plus · 2d agonot even sure why liberals are complaining about this? didn't you say trans politics are an 80/20 issue with 80 against in many places? why do you care that a bunch of trans people online say they might not vote dems? just win without them (which is easier now, as per the calculus) and enact policy
like ... it's not difficult! if a candidate concedes to the right regarding your rights of existence, you're fired from the coalition. that is the signal. the exchange was moderate votes for yours. you can vote as individuals (and many will) but the obligation to vote as a support bloc is gone.
One of my classmates (also 8th gr lol) got himself out of trouble for being late & the teacher yelling at him by cutting her off & saying “there’s like, a war or something going on”im She raised her voice even more & said stop lying til he told her to “stfu & go look at the tv in the library!”
"America! Fuck yeah!" was contemporary with the era and perfectly captured how it felt to see the government rename French fries to "freedom fries" in response to France opposing war
the beggars out of here getter@milesklee.bsky.social · 6d agoalways mystified by the suggestion that Gen Z and younger were the ones who disrespectfully turned 9/11 into a meme. i was at a school in NJ where classmates lost parents, didn't know if my own dad was okay, you could see Ground Zero from a nearby hill, and the lads were cracking jokes by lunchtime
It's extremely hard to make people care about something they were either too young or not born to experience, especially when they immediately lived through another massive incident that showed we as a country don't actually value American lives

You never think it because it's usually regulated to when the artist themselves have passed but this really is on the level of the greats, isn't it

blues: we are going to move right on trans issues because we have judged the votes of trans voters to be worthless some trans ppl: because our votes are worthless, we will not vote blues: what the fuck? you better provide your worthless votes or we all get screwed
jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 2d agothis shit does not work on me. go try it on the centrists who call trans women "biological men."
its always important to note how depressed the 24 election was. By the numbers both parties failed to motivate voters, just that dems failed more than the gop. In fact its the greatest show of how shaving off gop voters doesn't work because when presented with trump they stayed home instead
