  • his one big album also had a (cringey straight guy trying to be a good ally) song where he talked about how he was super pro-gay rights, so i assumed he was a lib but i never thought he was a chud

    I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league.”
    A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
    For those that like the same sex had the characteristics
    The right-wing conservatives think it’s a decision
    And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

    Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
    Playing God, aw nah, here we go
    America the brave still fears what we don’t know
    “God loves all his children” is somehow forgotten
    But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago
    I don’t know

    If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
    Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
    “Man, that’s gay” gets dropped on the daily
    We’ve become so numb to what we’re sayin’

    Our culture founded from oppression
    Yet, we don’t have acceptance for 'em
    Call each other removeds behind the keys of a message board
    A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
    “Gay” is synonymous with the lesser

    not exactly the first brick at stonewall but for a cishet dude in 2011 it’s pretty good













  • man that’s tough. fire walk with me for sure, but for sex scenes that aren’t terrifying sexual assault scenes maybe portrait of a lady on fire? i can think of a few others, the handmaiden, moonlight, etc. in general, i think most sex scenes in otherwise good movies don’t bring down the quality of the movie as long as it makes sense for the characters. people fuck! it happens! if done artfully it can enhance your understanding of the characters, and even if not handled perfectly as long as it makes sense it takes a decent amount to get too gratuitous for me

    that’s not to say i’m cool with all horny bullshit in movies or tv, there’s so much anime out there that needs to have tits shoved awkwardly on screen regularly. but when an anime reads like the creators know what sex is then it doesn’t bug me that much. chainsaw man is horny but i don’t mind it. chainsaw man is made better by how it handles its horniness imo. in general as long as sexuality is handled with care it’s no worse than any other element that could show up in a film

    also a lot of people act like there are tons of movies with sex in them, and that just isn’t the case. i mean, not anymore at least. they show up, but the vast majority of hollywood blockbusters are completely sexless






  • The Red Book of Westmarch is, of course, not actually written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. It is a much later concoction, and it’s fundamental purpose is to sell a narrative legitimizing the Fairbairns of the Towers’ status as one of the three paramount families of the Shire,without compromising the politically important narrative of their half-legendary progenitor, Samwise Gamgee as an ascended commoner.

    To this end, it interweaves a complicated web of triple anachronism. On the one hand, it anachronistically projects the prosperity and easygoing lifestyle of the contemporary gentry onto the historic characters of Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Frodo Baggins, portraying the three of them (all, other records make clear, experienced tribal war-leaders skilled in guerrilla warfare well before their mercenary expedition to the south lands) as bumbling hedonists before they were “toughened up” by their travels. On the other hand, it conflates Frodo Baggins, a historic personage who willed his considerable fortune to Samwise Gamgee, who was probably his homosexual lover, with Frodo Nine-Fingers, generally thought to be a wholly mythic personage belonging to an entirely earlier era.

    Thus, while “Merry” and “Pippin” grow into formidable leaders in the courts of Southern sovereigns, Frodo (the originator of the Gamgee fortune) is saving the world, and Samwise Gamgee is making it all possible.
