  • and the Korra one was even completely unintentional, the writers just kinda realized it was developing over the course of the series and decided to go all in on it

    That explains why I got absolutely zero romance vibes from those two until season 4. Don’t get me wrong, Korra is obviously a bi queen, but I wasn’t getting any gay subtext and was pleasantly surprised when it came out of nowhere. Still came less out of nowhere than her dating Mako tho





  • Haven’t seen Supernatural but Traegert says the character is ace and that makes me feel the need to weigh in. It’s not queerbaiting if the character they don’t make gay after all is canonically ace. Putting them in a gay relationship would be ace erasure, and would be acebaiting. Sure, maybe it’s gaybaiting, but revealing a gay-coded character is actually ace doesn’t in any way diminish the amount of queer in the show.

    I really like the penis inspection day joke, because it constructs a narrative of systemic rape culture that would have easily been normalised if it were real, and draws attention to the normalisation. It gets people thinking about rape culture without even noticing that they’re thinking. And thereby vaccinates people against normalisation of systemic rape. I believe the shitposters who laughed at penis inspection day memes are more likely to understand the absurdity of actual anti-trans legislation.

    Yes, this is part of their strategy to implement small government by controlling what hormones people can put in their bodies and whether they can have an abortion. The mandatory genital inspections for kids are also part of their small government initiative. #landofthefree
