i feel like so many people misunderstand redemption arcs. they’re not about forgiving past actions. they’re not about softening previous behavior. redemption arcs are about realizing past behavior was heinous and resolving to be better, do better. that’s why so many redemption arcs fall apart upon close scrutiny.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

Genuinely and unironically my philosophy abt music has expanded to “stop writing off music because it’s from a specific genre” and I think that could be applied to most mediums actually

So I'm pretty confident that the Woodkid song "To The Wilder" from Death Stranding 2 is sampling (or heavily referencing) Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder" from their Random Access Memories album

The repeating orchestral strings throughout Woodkid's "To The Wilder" sound to me like a slowed version of the orchestral strings in Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder"

Specifically the strings in "Giorgio" around 5m20s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhl-Cs1-sG4&t=320s

"To The Wilder" to compare: https://youtu.be/ZYwNeNuxtIc
