Not sure if you’d have the answer to this but from one kh nerd to another, do you know why in the Japanese dub of the games, none of the characters use any honorifics when talking to each other O3O?
Sure they say master when referring to people like Eraqus and Xehanort, but none of them say like Kairi-chan, Sora-Kun, etc etc. why is that🤔? Is it because everyone of them is so close that they just don’t need to do that (anymore)?
Simple answer is Localization.
Since we don't have the equivalent of these honorifics in English and other languages don't either, so it was a much simpler way of translating. And I think they just decided to drop the honorifics for that reason. (I could be wrong lol)
They do sort of make up for the honorifics in other ways, where Sora talks to people in certain ways using formal and informal speech when addressing others. The most obvious is the use of ""ore" and "boku". Sora and Riku will use "ore" more often than not and it's a more confident/tough/arrogant kind of pronoun where "boku" is more humble/formal/neutral. Sora will use "boku" when talking to Kairi.
There's a lot neat things in the original Japanese dub that just don't translate into English or were lost on the way. Or just sound weird because of cultural difference, and don't hit the same way. (A lot of lines could have been workshopped a bit more)
The iconic "Who else will I eat ice cream with?" line is among the list of lines that just didn't hit the same way. Where in the English version, it comes across as him accepting the fact that Xion is disappearing. Where in the Japanese version, he says something along the lines of "Let's eat ice cream together, the three of us" as if he hasn't quite accepted and is giving himself something to look forward to.
I know there's a blog here somewhere that has a really good post about this topic in depth. A really good read.
Might take a bit to dig for since it was so long ago. (Maybe someone knows who originally posted it? Lol) I might have it on my blog somewhere... I'll see if I can find it.

Yes being intersex isn’t even that rare but we also can’t let the struggle for intersex rights be founded on how many of us there are. Being relatively common as a whole isn’t why intersex rights matter and while I appreciate trying to dispel the myth about how supposedly stupidly rare we are (again as a whole, some intersex conditions themselves are actually pretty rare), I don’t like the implication I sometimes get from that that we can convince people we matter because there are so many of us. We’d matter and have the right to bodily autonomy, acceptance, support and really just basic human rights whether there are 10 of us or 10 hundred million of us. A world with just one intersex person would still be a world where intersex rights and advocacy are needed.

The way tumblr users talk about racism makes it really obvious they learned about it from Harry Potter's muggle born wizards plotlind

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

tumblr mutuals love getting into the most random esoteric media possible and talking about it in modern fandom parlance they’ll be like “omg guys i’m so obsessed with dagny her relationship with hildr is so doomed yuri ugh they would do numbers on here” then you look it up and they’re talking about an obscure scandinavian folktale that’s only available in the original old norwegian

If these creators truly need to censor their words like death/died/whatever, because they could get demonetized, I think saying that someone "passed away" or something along that line would be better (and respectful) than saying "unalived"

Is it possible there's an invisible intersex condition in all trans people.....? I know intersex people usually often end up dysphoric if they're forced the wrong way, so its prolly not completely out of the question.

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️
however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!
Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.
So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday
LANDBACK.ORG
(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

if you are trans and lie or encourage trans people to lie about being intersex for "safety" then you don't believe that intersexism is real.
that's what's happening whether you want to acknowledge that or not. you are trying to claim intersexuality because you believe we are safe, you believe we do not experience violence. if you believed we experience violence you would not believe we are safer than trans people.
intersex people experience exceptionally high rates of assault. anyone who would hurt you for being trans will also hurt you for being intersex. you are not getting out of violence. claiming you are intersex will improve the situation 0% of the time, you are just lying about being a minority.

intersex people aren't just some gotcha you can throw out in arguments about trans rights btw. they're real people. intersex people are also hurt by anti-trans legislation because it's rooted in a binary system of sex that doesn't include them, leaving them excluded and in danger. an intersex woman could be excluded from women's spaces, and in fact, they have been excluded already. intersex people have been targeted for not fitting into the binary. they've had procedures to alter their genitals performed at birth or as young children, have had their conditions concealed from them by parents and doctors, and their gender identities aren't respected due to their biological sex. intersex people have poor healthcare, few resources, and a society that doesn't accept them.
stop using intersex people as nothing but a gotcha moment. they're in the trenches with us.
