having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.

Having experienced a lot of it in my 20s, I think some of the worst, pettiest, most straight up this-is-just-bullying-you're-passing-off-as-praxis incidences of Queer Infighting endemic to young people can be best understood as attempts to exercise power by people with very little power.

Like you're 22, you're queer, you've just become a Marxist, the scope of World Suck is overwhelming and you have $30 in your bank account. What can you do to feel like you have any power? Well, you can try to get your frenemy cancelled for cosplaying a character from a problematic show. You can write a public callout post over someone's obviously friendly use of a slur you don't think they technically have the right to reclaim. Doing this stuff can make you feel like you have power and your actions have an impact. Unfortunately the impact in question is a negative impact on other marginalized people. But that often takes some maturity and self-reflection to notice.

replaying da3 as lavellan this time around and the fact the game doesn’t even acknowledge the destruction of the entire clan beyond a war table mission and some comments made in passing is insane

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

thinking about that banter where anders asks fenris if he's ever considered suicide and it's weird bc anders definitely started this conversation to upset and embarrass and trigger fenris, and a lot of fans are upset and embarrassed and triggered by it (myself included tbh. i remember it starting up in my game once and walking directly to the nearest stage change to make it stop.) but i think everyone gets too caught up in how shitty it was for anders to do this that they tend to miss fenris's actual response and that this banter becomes one of the most even keeled conversations the two of them have in the whole game. like fenris refuses to emotionally escalate. anders likewise backs down. the result is this incredibly morbid and melancholic little exchange where they ruminate on the differences between their values and characters - that fenris would rather submit than die and anders would rather die than submit - and for a moment they're both sharing the same sadness about where these limitations have gotten them. it's amazing. it's weird. it's a bit of concilation and compassion that never would have happened if anders hadn't been the most tactless person in the thedas.

So I'm halfway through Gideon the Ninth and how come nobody has told me about Dulcinea?? She's so good, you'd think people would go bonkers over her
