now that i'm thinking about which major to choose, the sheer amount of Gotham villains with doctorates is unsettling me

So I know he probably could have just have another hidden team, but I find it much funnier if Volo broke the fabric of space and time with only a togepi.

This is such a goddamn cop-out. My first language is French. We literally gender everything! Guess what, you can still build sentences to be completely gender neutral.

What most Anglo people don't get is that while words follow gendered rules, they don't necessarily impose gender to whoever they refer to.

For example, "Une personne." (French for "a person") follows feminine grammar rules, but does not gender the subject themself. Point being, we already have our own version of thinking about people outside gender binary (however flawed this version may be) so saying using 'they/them' is too hard is bullshit. Especially since it's infinitely easier than what we usually do.

no offense but i also do find it fucking annoying when i complain about people deliberately misgendering a character and every fucking bean soup ass bitch has to sound off in the tags like well what if english isnt their first language what if they didnt know what if they werent trying to be offensive what if theyre not doing it on purpose what if what if what if you SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPP

Go learn Québec French and revel in the fact you will confuse every single Frenchman even when fluent.

I really wanna learn a new language but I wanna learn it from someone who also has their language's version of a country accent. Like if I taught someone to speak English but I taught them using my rural Alabama accent and southern phrasing the entire time. I just feel like I'd learn the language faster if I knew by the end I'd sound like that language's version of Honey Boo Boo

They're all also queer coded.

shoutout to anthropomorphic snakes in animated movies doing poses that would normally require arms by creatively using their coils as arms instead. gotta be one of my favorite genders

I've been out and presenting as myself for over 5 years now. Have been on hrt for just as long and post op for 3 years. I haven't gone swimming once the whole time. The whole process of buying a swimsuit, going into women's changing room (because we all know gender neutral is almost never an option) and being exposed to that many people in a public pool still terrifies me. So yeah. I get that.

Gotta love how the climax of Canto VIII's first(?) dungeon is basically "Confucius and his group of rabbit assassins implore one of the main characters to make his first expression of original thought in 15 years. By force."

Let's be honest, half those emo boys were trans and are now the wife

remember in 2007 or 2008 when emo was at its peak and gay marriage wasn't legal and so we had boys in eyeliner and skirts making out with each other at the mall in protest. i think we need this again

Isolde did nothing wrong. Fr tho imagine a friend comes to you with books from the future and shows you proof that a world war that will kill millions is about to start. You're people are barely seen as a step up from a freakshow in the best of times and there's nothing you can do about it. The ones who can, the Foundation clearly know something is up but won't say or do anything, or, in the case of the local bureau are lead by a man double your age, pushing you to get tortured for others entertainment, in the name of curing the generational trauma he keeps dismissing as hysteria, while very clearly wanting to fuck you, an 18yo (yes Isolde is 18, Kakania is a year older).

Your friend then tells you "Look, it's happening and there's nothing any of us can do about it. Anything can set it off so here's the deal. With the start of the war comes phenomenon that erases everyone and moves to another time. You can survive it, that's where those future book comes from. So here's the deal, you be that spark, you trigger the storm and I make sure you and a person you love will survive the jump."

You might be in the middle of a days, if not weeks, long mental breakdown, but even you can realize you're not necessary for that plan. Those who want the storm can easily find a thousand other ways to trigger it and leave you and your malpractice girlfriend to die. So you go on the stage and you stab that dismissive piece of shit creep because what does it matter anyway? Either the storm gets him or the war.

So yeah. With the information Isolde has, I'd have done the same thing.

STOP this is the feminism checkpoint. you have to comment something you like about a flawed female character. or explode
