Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda game and to me Sheikh is an integral element of the magic it cast over me.

It's not just that they're doing corruption, but they're doing the kind of corruption that is basically "guy hands over a cartoon money sack with dollar signs on it" corruption.

interesting take from a fictional 14th century monk: torture is bad because it's basically sex

I'm sure that's true, but something tells me googling "nun tied up by other nuns" "hot wax" "confessing sins" will likely get what you might call rather un-academic results

been defcon 5 obsessed with her lately

cons: im only noticing that people perceive me as male because of misogyny 90% of the time

being trans in any direction gives you this but with like a multiplier effect

Cool, then can we stop doing it to trans men?

the united states is a hellhole. a lot of people have put a lot of work into making this hellhole a hellhome, in forcing the state to compromise with society and ensuring there are some genuine democratic elements, and that matters. but i have no love for the united states, i have no love for the founding fathers, i have no love for the wealthy euro-american businessmen who convinced the poor people of the british colonies to fight and die in a war that served only to ensure all of americas wealth went to them instead of the british, i have no love for George Washington who burned down countless villages and ransacked Haudenosaunee storehouses full of bushels and bushels of corn only for their agricultural technology and prosperity to be written out of history by men who glorified him, i have no love for the "anti-slavery" slave owners or the non-slave owners whose only problem with slavery is that it made them fear for their own souls but couldn't imagine a world where they lived side by side with a Black person as their equal, i have no love for the narrative that the Civil War was fought out of purehearted desire to free enslaved people when the North simply practiced a different form of slavery, wage slavery, which was more economical because you didn't have to provide housing and food for your workers as long as you paid them a pittance and made them figure out how to stay alive themselves, i have no love for the historical revisionism around WW2, i have no love for the expectation that i should be in any way remotely proud or admiring or thankful for Vietnam War veterans or Korean War or Iraq War veterans or our fucking drone operators, i don't have any love for any of it, IF THE WORD HAS POWER YOU SHALL NOT STAND AMERICA
