Quando una donna viene a lavorare in Italia dall'estero, la prima cosa che colpisce è lo strisciante sessismo di tutta la società e in particolare sul posto del lavoro. TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below] Quando una donna viene a lavorare in Italia dall'estero, la prima cosa che colpisce è lo strisciante sessismo di tutta la società e in particolare sul posto del lavoro. Perché ve ne sto parlando? In parte per uno scambio che ho avuto di recente sui social, in parte perché ho appena finito di ascoltare l'ottimo podcast di Jonathan Zenti Estadeli, che vi consiglio caldamente di seguire vi metto anche il link poi nelle note del programma. Cosa succede in Italia? In Italia succede che c'è questa percezione che certi commenti sia lecito farli. Anche all'estero si fanno questi commenti, ma la differenza è che se tu fai un commento del genere in Australia sul posto di lavoro te ne vai, o comunque vieni sottoposto a un processo, nel senso una procedura disciplinare. Ecco, in Italia invece no, perché c'è la percezione che certi commenti non solo non siano offensivi ma siano 'neutri'? Quindi che so io dico guarda quella là che brutta come le sta male quell'abito, guarda quella è grassa eccetera o faccio commenti sulla sua presunta disponibilità sessuale, perché io li metto sullo stesso livello i commenti sull'abbigliamento, sulle forme di una donna o sulla sua disponibilità per passare fino alle molestie, ecco, penso che sia il grado neutro di espressione, cioè non sto offendendo nessuno, mi sto semplicemente limitando a dire quello che è, a descrivere la realtà. Io penso che la gente sia convinta di questo perché altrimenti non farebbe certe affermazioni che ne so, sulla televisione pubblica, penso a certi commenti di commentatori sportivi, appunto, che facevano degli orribili commenti sull'aspetto fisico delle atlete e lo facevano pubblicamente, non facevano nemmeno finta di nascondersi perché pensavano, non sto facendo niente di male, sto semplicemente commentando quello che vedo. Ecco, questa è la cultura tossica che c'è in generale nella società italiana e che poi naturalmente, perché c'è dappertutto, si trova anche sul posto di lavoro. Che fare? Quello che possiamo fare è non tollerare e quando vediamo che vengono fatti questi commenti, soprattutto quando non sono rivolti a noi, dovremmo intervenire, dovremmo dire qualcosa dovremmo farlo notare. Perché soprattutto quando non sono rivolti a noi? Perché spesso la persona che si trova al centro di questi commenti ci rimane malissimo, non sa come rispondere sul momento, una cosa umiliante, è una cosa che fa male, non sempre sia la prontezza di riflessi, quindi invece noi che ce ne rendiamo conto dovremmo intervenire e non dovremmo farne passare una, perché solo così si cambia la cultura tossica sessista che dilaga in Italia. E credetemi, è veramente così. Se si raschia sotto sotto anche le persone insospettabili fanno il commentino del cavolo. TRANSLATION When a woman comes to work in Italy from abroad, the first thing that strikes her is the creeping sexism throughout society and particularly in the workplace. Why am I telling you about this? Partly because of an exchange I had recently on social, partly because I just finished listening to Jonathan Zenti Estadeli's excellent podcast, which I highly recommend you follow I will also put the link then in the program notes. What is happening in Italy? What happens in Italy is that there is this perception that certain comments are permissible to make. You make these comments abroad as well, but the difference is that if you make such a comment in Australia in the workplace you leave, or at any rate you are subjected to a process, in the sense of a disciplinary procedure. Here, in Italy it is not, because there is a perception that certain comments are not only not offensive but are 'neutral'? So, e.g., one says look at that one there how ugly that dress looks on her, look at that one she's fat and so on or one makes comments about her alleged sexual availability, because I put them on the same level comments about clothing, about a woman's shape or her availability to go all the way to harassment, that's it, they think that's the neutral degree of expression, they think they are not offending anybody, that they are simply stating what it is, describing the reality . I think people are convinced of this because otherwise they would not make certain statements, I don't know, on public television, I think of certain comments of sports commentators, who were making horrible comments about the physical appearance of female athletes and they were doing it publicly, they were not even pretending to hide because they thought, I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm simply commenting on what I see. Here, this is the toxic culture that there is in general in Italian society and then of course, because it is everywhere, it is also found in the workplace. What to do? What we can do is not to tolerate and when we see these comments being made, especially when they are not directed at us, we should intervene, we should say something we should point it out. Why especially when they are not directed at us? Because often the person who is at the center of these comments is left feeling terrible about it, they don't know how to respond in the moment, a humiliating thing, it's a hurtful thing, you don't always have the quick thinking, so instead we, who are aware of it, should intervene and we shouldn't let one pass, because that's the only way to change the toxic sexist culture that is rampant in Italy. And believe me, it really is. If you scrape underneath even unsuspected people make the offensive comment.

Where are the other Skiratas in Legacy of the Force

Ok so I knoww it isn't canon and we only ever see Jaing and Mird and hear about Levet. oh right and spar's dead.

But where are the other Skiratas??? like fi and atin and corr and dar and niner and delta and the NULLS. oh and sull.

ok since i'm horribly optimistic and don't want anyone to die here's what i think

Dar's living out the good life, retired hopefully, if we go by Karen Traviss's plan for the book she never wrote

Niner's settling down somewhere nice, having kids and all

Fi helps Parja with her shop and maybe establishes a full corporation in Mandalore, with Rav's help.

Atin and Laseema--ok look idk what to say abt the couples rlly...

Corr and Jilka --I honestly never wouldve shipped them but ok, maybe they go off somewhere, I feel like Jilka would want to go back out in the galaxy, instead of being stuck on Mandalore.

Delta probably would never desert; while I dearly want them to I have a terrible feeling they'll end up as the nucleus of the Rebellion-era 501st. I saw a fic once where Boss was one of the ones fighting on Hoth with Vader.

ok now the NULLS:

Prudii I feel like would stay at home and be a hacker and help out randos

Kom'rk would be a bounty hunter I think

Mereel would definitely be a bounty hunter too

Jaing we saw.

Ordo becomes the leader of the Skiratas, obviously, with Besany

A'den I feel like would be Rebellion-type material, since he was mostly in the field and stuff. we didn't see enough of him.

Sull probably goes rogue and becomes a merc or smth. like honestly. remember how he was in true colors? ain't never gonna live a peaceful life like that.

OMG I FORGOT Yayax... well...bc they're such good builders they'll form a nice construction company and work with Parja and Fi to expand the infrastructure. Maybe when Boba comes back and they find that beskar mine, Yayax Construction will be the first to occupy it and start mining.

THE SERGEANTS: Rav retires hopefully and helps Yayax with their business. Vau and Skirata die of old age I mean honestly they're their age. Wad'e makes a school of besbev players and passes down his mantle to someone else and retires. Mij and Qail marry and have a put-together family with Scout like Clive, Astri, and Lune's.

Jusik marries New Brainwashed (literally) Arla and teaches Kad jedi stuff.

what are your ideas? i wanna hear you guys opinions

[mamuzzy]

@ithillia you always know how to word my problems with the fandom.

It really saddens me that you can't talk about the characters without someone going karentraviss over them. I want blorbo blurbs, not worrying about the fictional character's social status based on real life and feeling shame for enjoying a FICTION.

If I had tell you that I have dealt misogyny in my past workplace or in my family, you wouldn't give half as shit than you make a fuss about fictional characters. Because I'm a real person, I'm more abstract to you than Etain, or Ilippi or Besanny. You wouldn't take me seriously, you wouldn't raise a finger for me as a person, but you would kill over fictional women you don't even respect because "they are all cardboard plates" to you and you conveniently decide who is a good woman representation and who is just "karen traviss". Fuck off with your perfect women representation!

Who the fuck are you to tell who is a good women representation???

I don't want perfect women! I want my lonely city-girl Besanny! I want my not beautiful Etain with self-esteem issues and horrible life-choices! I want my collateral damage Jilka! I want my confident badass scientist Uthan who survived in isolation for three years and who dyes her hair! I want Ruu who made up with her father after all those years! I want old snarky widow Ny to find love! I want badass Ilippi who dared to divorce from his husband when she felt it was enough! These are the women you call cardboard plates.

I want Ordo and Besanny or Fi and Parja be happy in canon, and I can make Ordo stupidly gay for his boyfriend and Fi a fuckboy in my fictions simultaneously however I want!

Seriously, you act like the author pairing up her own characters are the most sinful act a person can do, when you do the same on tumblr, shipping blorbos.

fucking hell.

I just can't take this fictional misogyny debate seriously.

...

...

Yes. I held this in for a very long time. I'm not sorry.

[cienie-isengardu]

Jilka: Let me get this straight. Skirata found out by accident that Kom’rk is a gay and so he freaked out. Kom'rk freaked out because Skirata freaked out and then vanished without a word and he doesn’t respond to any comlink calls. Then you on purpose freaked out Skirata even more by talking how desperate kids, when rejected by family, may run away from home, or worse, commit suicide and this is why panicked Kal is running around home in the middle of night?

Vau: Yes.

Jilka: You are a sick bastard Vau... I RESPECT that.

Part II

The art market I went to this past weekend had a lot of really cool offerings. I wish I had the funds to buy everything I saw, alas. It was very difficult to choose from all the stalls that were there (80 different artists attended). In the end, I purchased a tote bag and three prints for my Chaos Wall from Sir Gregory & Co., three shop illustration prints from Zenti Designs, a linocut of Chaotic Good Designs' Cat, Jon Snow, an upcycled bag from Kimono Yamamoto, an illustrated book for my partner's goddaughter from La Source Australia, and a silver boundary bracelet from Mill Foundry.

There were just too many excellent artists, though. I was a bit overwhelmed on the day. I hope everyone did really well with their stalls, there seemed to be a lot of people just being drawn in via local foot traffic when we were leaving to venue.

Tiktok has shown me there’s a stark difference between a woman’s “eh😛 let’s be complete weirdos in public” night vs men’s

Men: “yea bro let’s wear onesies out in public” or “let’s all shave our heads and then go to the bar” “oh let’s wear these raunchy matching graphic tee?? We’re so crazy bro”

Women (and gays and theys) on the other hand: full shrek cosplay group outing, Steve Harvey night at the bar, pit bull night at the bar. “Let’s just go out in brightly color zenti suits”. Let’s just dress up as the elderly with canes and walkers and go out to the bars or a party. Let’s go out in full dad cosplay fake mustache shitty bald caps and all. And it just be a random ass Thursday

Like you see the difference in shenanigans men I need y’all to step it up.

I literally saw women have bald cosplay night at an Olive Garden. The cosplays in attendance: pit bull, Steve Harvey, Dobby the house elf, and mr fucking clean

A few scrolls later I see men just go into what-a-burger wearing a bucc-ees onesies like it’s texas I expect that… now all show up on horses and wearing fake mustache. It’s not wild but at least you’ve elevated the silly just a bit.

Oop new Shale reference. The last reference was was from last year, 2022, but pretty much immediately his design shifted a bit again. As that is my fate. Now to match Zenti, he has a much better clothing setup. Obviously now the region of the silver coast has to be pretty chilly if everyone needs swag coats.

While I draw him interacting with spellfluxed characters plenty, he is in the stormbreak part of the setting. And now has really cool shoes because he is a climby guy and needs full articulation.
