I know plenty of people of my generation who graduated from high school and immediately stopped reading anything more complicated than the back of a cereal box, which kind of makes me wonder how much of the present "literacy crisis" is just an artefact of social media obliging those same people to communicate via a text-based medium.

"this too is yuri" "[show about mostly men] is so yuri" "guy yuri" "yuri is when [thing that isnt yuri]" i think we should bring back yuri being about girls love so you cunts have to talk about women instead of just focusing on male characters

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

I don't really get people who are like "I don't understand I Saw the TV Glow because I'm not a trans woman" like you can watch/understand Beau is Afraid without having an overbearing mother or Eraserhead without having a difficult unplanned pregnancy or I'm thinking of ending things without being an lonely aging suicidal janitor.

pro censorship people are always like “actually I’m living proof that books can be really harmful to kids! when I was a child I read a book that upset me and of course I couldn’t talk to my parents about it because they would throw rocks at me whenever I confessed to reading anything but the Bible, so as you can see, that book was the source of my trauma and warped ideas about right and wrong”
