I'm convinced the OP who hates Minthara but loves Gortash and Raphael is just a sexist pos

Because why is Minthara being criticised and hated by OP for being "pro-slavery" but Gortash and Raphael are okay even though Raphael used to OWN Gortash and Gortash is enslaving the Gondians??? Raphael owns a sex slave???

And for the racism part it's always "drow are evil and racist" (and even if they are in fact those), yet no one addresses the racism drow also get? Like it goes in both senses, surface elves hate drow elves as much as drow hate them! That's one of the main issues Drizzt faces on the surface!

If I play a drow, the tieflings who are themselves discriminated by the elven druids, are racist and mean to me. The druids are racist to me if I play a tiefling or a drow too!

Shadowheart spends a lot of time in Arc 1 being racist to Githrankis for no apparent reason! But no one is hating her for her racism like Minthara is getting hated for hers (and on the other part she finds the giths really impressive).

also Minthara, past the meeting commentary, never refers to your surface-elf Tav as faery again. She doesn't say another racist thing, I promise you.

It's not like Drow society was a messy cult society where children are indoctrinated to hate every other species but their own. It's not like it's all she has ever known. LIKE GORTASH.

PS: At no point i am justificating or agreeing with her racist or pro-slavery point of view. I am just saying that you cannot pick who you'll shit on for one thing and then turn around to love another character for that one same thing.

Just did research and Jason Aldean's home town has a population of more than 150,000 people and is the 5th biggest city in Georgia. For reference, the town I grew up in has a population of not even 50,000 people. Dude is trying so hard to be the "country star from small town America" and yet doesn't even know what a fucking small town is. Like most of these white "we should go back to our rural small town values conservatives". Yall don't even know what a small town is because you're living in a privileged suburbia. Your impression of "small town" is not what you think. The actual small towns of Arizona, for example, are mostly made up of mixed race communities who don't judge you for not being Christian enough and won't let you open carry anywhere no matter how well known you are in the community. Conservatives would hate the actual small towns I know lol.

LET THE CROSS STITCH HIT THE FLOOR

Rereading Dickens Christmas Carol for the first time in a long time. And the more I reread, the more it strikes me how seamlessly a queer reading could slip within these pages. Not an especially twee reading, wherein all Scrooge's troubles start and end with grief over Jacob Marley's death. For we know that Scrooge was a "Tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!" And we know that he and Marley were "two kindred spirits"

And perhaps that very fact makes the similarities to queer life, unintended as they most likely were by Mr. Dickens, achingly poignant to me. Scrooge is, we're told, "secret and self-contained and solitary as an oyster." How much that resonates, for so many of us who shield our innermost selves but from a select group of friends. And we know that Scrooge and Marley were, at the very least, certainly that for one another. Scrooge is Marley's sole mourner; his sole executor and beneficiary; and even Dickens notes, "friend." How reminiscent is that of queer couples across history, estranged from their families?

Scrooge lives in a set of chambers that once belonged to Marley—clearly Dickens wanted us to believe Scrooge gave up his own dwellings after Marley's death to economize. But with only a flicker of change, those chambers become _their chambers, rented by Marley as the senior member of the couple. The place is so desolate Dickens notes "one could scarcely help fancying it must have run there when it was a young house, playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and have forgotten the way out again." The perfect abode for two queer misers who wanted no one prying into their business.

Marley's name is still above the door of Scrooge's counting-house: a mark by which, no doubt, Dickens meant to convey Scrooge such a penny-pincher he couldn't bother to have it changed. But a thing can be both! mark of frugality to ludicrous excess and! mark of mourning. "sometimes," Dickens opines, "People new to the

business called Scrooge Scrooge, and sometimes Marley, but he answered to both names. It was all the same to him."

This is why "death of the author" matters so much, in expanding our interpretations of texts. It is vastly far from the lens Dickens would have intended. But, the idea of a ghost of queerness, so taboo in the society it could barely be glanced at sidewise in this tale that is all about the inexplicable and yet that lingers over everything becomes an astonishing lens through which to read this book. Thinking of Scrooge as a queer man, his "melancholy dinner at his usual melancholy tavern" becomes a eerie prefiguring of the hollowness of days spent by Isherwood's A Single Man. In this universe, little wonder Scrooge doubly hates mention of time with family, marriage, etc. when the precise nature of his grief is both unacknowledged and unacknowledgable.

And readings like this are vital, because the uncomfortable truth is, discrimination doesn't "discriminate between sinners and saints", to borrow a Miranda phrase. It is easy, in my liberal circles, to fight for queer people who hold "the good sorts of politics". But what about men like Michael Hess, culpable for supporting Reagan even as his contemptuous homophobia let the aids epidemic run rampant? How much harder is it to remember Michael had a partner? That he deserves empathy and compassion for being practically tarred and feathered out of the party upon his own aids diagnosis?

Expanding our imaginative universes to include queerness, not as redemptive panacea, but merely as one aspect of identity, personality, often in vicious conflict with others. Even! as we consider those stories equally worthy of being told feels vital if we're ever to truly express the complexity of what queer humanity looks like.

Constantly citing this article and the studies it uses.

Here's a quote:

"That study shows that transmasculine individuals were actually more likely to be victims of childhood sexual assault, adult sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking than were transfeminine individuals (as shown in the chart below).

The only category in which trans women were more likely to be victimized was by hate violence, and even there the difference was small: 30 percent of trans women reported having experienced hate violence, compared to 29 percent of trans men."
