Transmasc Person: "I am a straight guy, since I am a guy who loves women."

Toxic Queer People™: "Ew, straight guys are all predators, since only non-queer people are straight! Anyways, discrimination against straight men isn't real, even when they're a minority."

Transmasc Person: "Okay, I am a lesbian, since even if I'm not a woman, I still have a connection to womanhood."

Toxic Queer People™: "Lesbian is woman-only! If you are in any way a man or not a woman, you are not a lesbian! Transmascs can never be lesbians or have a connection to womanhood/a lack of manhood! Stop invading the lesbian community!"

I dare you to make it make sense.

Limiting who can reply to my posts. There is too much discourse happening in my recent ones, including the one about the casting for Annabeth.

I'll say this once.

Why don't you think Azula deserves a redemption arc? I don't necessarily disagree with you, btw, I just want to know what made you think that.

I didn't mean that in a moral way, exactly. Morally, I don't think redemption can be earned as much as it can be lived up to (which, btw, I don't think Azula would). What I meant was that as a character, her story didn't deserve a redemption arc because it's not what's been set up. If she had been "redeemed" through her mental breakdown, it would cheapen her arc, and Azula doesn't deserve that. Someone (I think @sokkastyles) mentioned on my post over the weekend that Azula's arc was complete as it was, and I agree. It was a fantastic arc, too. It just ended sadly, and I feel like a lot of people just don't like that. Which is fine. That's their prerogative. That doesn't mean that there was something missing from Azula's story. And it doesn't mean that her arc deserves or needs a redemption.

As I've said before, I do think that there could be a redemption for Azula, but it would need a lot of work to make it worthwhile. First of all, they would have to break Azula down the point where she would not only see her need to change, but have her want to change. She is nowhere near that point at the end of the show. Which is fine. She doesn't have to be. Let Azula be a villain. If she's your fave, embrace that your fave is a villain. It's okay. I am a HUGE fan of Maleficent (the only Maleficent). Yes, her arc had to end with her defeat, but she made defeat look fabulous!

Can't wait for this new Netflix remake of Schindler's List, in which all the concentration camp guards are played by black people.

"The law provides an avenue for immigrants on humanitarian parole from Ukraine to obtain driver’s licenses and identification cards. The class-action lawsuit seeks to force the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to offer the same opportunities to immigrants on humanitarian parole from other countries.

Attorneys argue in court documents that the law violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. It also creates its own immigration classifications, which is an authority reserved by the federal government, they contend.

ACLU lawyer Gavin Rose described the law in court as “a textbook example of national origin discrimination.”

Four of the five Haitian immigrants — who are all on humanitarian parole — live in rural areas without public transportation, according to court documents. They rely on others for rides to work and other everyday activities such as grocery shopping."

I have watched like 250+ hours of f1 races since the end of july and i'm sure that's completely reasonable and fine.

Have many a thought about this but the brain is mush today so just a TLDR

While I do think that it’s reasonable to think that people have too high expectations for SSO or whatever we should all as a collective be Very fucking careful to intentionally put it against Lower standards just because it’s made “for girls” or is “a feminine game” or “is a horse game” because placing something made for women under lesser standards and giving it an easy out because “Oh but it’s for women” is a very slippery slope into “Women don’t deserve as good quality games as men do” and just reinventing gender essentialism but with a progressive language

DENNY'S & NORTH DAKOTA, THIS YOU

Black truck drivers that move products to keep our nation running as best as it can given the shortage of drivers, due to deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic... This is how your state behaves. Denny's you still haven't learned any manners. Shameful behavior. Denny's Corporation, your board better have a talk on how you expect investors to feel secure. Black people, stop going to Denny's. You have stocks in Denny's pull them. Truck drivers stop delivering to Denny's. Teamsters stand up and protect your truck drivers.
