yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

It was always a thermometer, not a thermostat, and I’m begging people to understand that.

A lot of us are old enough to remember when a company risked mass boycotts and organized campaigns for daring to sponsor a Pride or LGBT+ event. A lot of us are old enough to remember when you could not find Pride flags or other rainbow items for sale in mainstream stores anywhere. What changed was that companies felt the LGBT+ community was worth selling to, worth publicly standing behind and worth acknowledging. And now that's changed again for many companies, which is a canary in the coal mine that should concern all of us.

man y’all remember when the avengers movie came out and everyone headcanoned that all the avengers would live together in the tower and had all these cute posts about various fun ways they could interact and then the movies literally never had any of them even be friends

GHHFDGJHFDS THATS EVEN FUNNIER WHY IS MARVEL LIKE THIS

Also it was canon for literal decades in the comics. First it was Avengers Mansion which was Tony’s Manhattan family home and then Avengers Tower when Tony built it. At one point Avengers Mansion couldn’t get their trash carried away because in order to operate in the US they had to be an embassy and NYC trash carriers don’t service embassies.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

It's actually crazy that Kasidy Yates was dating a Starfleet Captain who worked near the Cardassian border while also being a marquis smuggler. The insane level of justified confidence she had

female character written and designed by a man: I choose to dress this way, you weird feminist !

Feminism isn't about doing whatever feels good and fuels your specific personal interests btw sometimes you do in fact have to change how you think and behave

in my opinion the trend towards younger women being extremely uncomfortable with sex being depicted in movies and film has less to do with them being puriteens or whatever and more to do with feminism being so defanged they do not possess the language to express being uncomfortable with seeing women being depicted as mere objects of sexual gratification and because the experience leaves them feeling slimy and the only messaging they’re getting is from conservatives who want to groom them they assume all depictions of sexuality are the same. I get the frustration but we have a messaging issue and would do much better just talking to them about this than insulting them for being gullible, there is a worldwide money backed effort to bombard younger women and girls with a shiny conservative messaging with a bear trap at the bottom of it and I don’t want to see them caught no matter how annoying their takes are
