¿Are you living in a tasty way?

because this are what these writers think Disco Elysium is.

they think it’s needlessly crass and vulgar for no reason, devoid of empathy, of passion. they think it’s crude edginess for the sake of edginess. where Disco feels honest to the perspective of anyone who has ever been truly truly desperate they simply see a freakshow. 'let’s describe a 16 year old's genitals because it’s SHOCKING.'

In contrast, Eridians had to discover fire in a lab since their atmosphere doesnt have O2 like ours. So they dont have, like, an entire culture normalizing fire.

> Be me. Rocky the Eridian cosmonaut

> Tell Grace about Eridian space elevator design made out of Xenonite. Grace very impressed, says humans only dream about making space elevator.

> Odd? Ask Human friend Grace how humans got into space. Expecting some high tech solution since science humans clearly know more physics.

Imagine Grace telling rocky about this and he's like Amaze Amaze Amaze! But what is energy used for question? And Grace is just like "w-we use it to boil water...and make bombs..."

Rocky's clearly underwhelmed by the answer so channeling his inner middle school science teacher, Grace is like Oh! Oh! We were also gonna build a new kind of rocket: the Nuclear-Explodatron 9000 (also made out of Eridian cardboard). It shoots exploding nukes out of its ass to blow itself forward 😃😃😃

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.
