You couldn't make star wars today because they'd claim that destroying the death star would make them as bad as the empire and the real villains would be revealed to be rebels who went too far.

What I love about brudick (the ship of Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, aka the original Batman and Robin) is that it is the original father of all toxic yaoi problematic parings in a way.

There was literally a book written about it. (Seduction of the Innocent). There were political hearings.

There were people literally trying to censor batman comics and stop them from being published.

But not because of the age gap elements, etc.

Because they were convinced that Batman and Robin's relationship in the comics was so compelling, the comics were turning your sons gay.

Just saw a "feminist" video essay (by someone who just happens to only talk about feminism in relation to cishet white able bodied women) say that the Hays Code was good for women because it "prevented them from sexualizing women by preventing onscreen depictions of sex". Never before has a video said something that made me vocalize my disgust of it's takes, but this did it.

I didn't think I would have to say this but if you defend the Hays code you are horrible and not in any way progressive. And if you don't know what it is please look it up because it's probably the most important piece of history when it comes to all media analysis in the western world.

"Fiction is not a 1:1 reflection of reality" and "the U.S. military doesn't support and finance American action movies and video games for fun" are concepts that can and should coexist

I know this is probably the weirdest post ever and probably very common knowledge but it’s ok to wrong about things. You’re not some super stupid or media illiterate person for misinterpreting things. And misinterpreting something doesn’t inherently mean your doing so in bad faith.

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

"how can you be blogging about fun stuff while this horrible thing is going on?"

there's always horrible things going on somewhere. if you refuse to calm down until it all stops, all you'll do is give yourself a stroke

Me when I see the word beaʃte

In my head: ah! The archaic form of the letter s! Being a casual scholar of linguistics myself I am well aware that though it resembles the letter f in modern typography in fact it is phonetically identical to s! How foolish it would be to stumble into such a simple lexiconical pitfall!

Me aloud to myself every time: beeft
