Follow me if you want to listen to me rant.

ughh i hate trans men because they’re men! never mind that i treat them completely differently to cis men or that i casually infantilize them and insult them using specifically very stereotypically gendered insults like bitch or cunt. sigh, men ammiright

The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.

another phm book thing it would've been so funny to see in the film is stratt trying to brute-force her way into a new zealand max-security prison and getting pissed that she has to have a pat-down first bc that's slowing down her world-saving mission, making grace have a very teachery moment of "uh uh! you can't always use 'i'm saving the world' as an excuse to be a jerk!" to which functional world dictator stratt actually admits "yeah ok you might have a point" (and then recruits an embezzler convicted of manslaughter to pave the sahara desert into an astrophage breeder farm bc this book is fucking wild) i can't stress enough that NOBODY is doing it like these two. dynamic of all time

Watching Iron Lung for the second time since its digital release (not including the one time in the theaters) and I'm realizing that they don't call him THE Butcher unless it's with his name, they just call him "Butcher." Like an occupation. Was getting bodies for the tree specifically his job? Was this as an executioner, a hunter, or just cutting up said meat? were there other Butcher's? One of the brother's said that he had the highest body count, but that implies there were more. It's not really the most important detail, but it's interesting to me to hear about the structure of Eden. It makes me wonder if there were gardeners or gravekeepers, if they filtered blood or parts of the bodies, etc etc. It intrigues me!!

I think that might be what they’re implying. It makes sense. The cult wanted bodies for their trees, so they made people kill and gather corpses. I wonder that’ll be explored more in the future. The creator of the game said he’d like to do more Iron Lung projects.
