eternal internal screaming

Especially Orre.

Idk it's just I've seen so many times people having to jump through hoops having to defend a trans reading of a character or have mountains of evidence to try and prove a canonically trans character is actually trans because they didn't look into the camera and say "I am transgender" (and sometimes even then people deny it!!!!) but it's always fine to assume a character's cisness. That's the default, after all! That's normal. Everybody else has to justify their existence.

netflix is making a hockey show called "the sticks" that is based on a very real tragedy that occured in canada in 2018.

the show follows a minnesota high school team after their bus crashes and coming back to hockey afterwards.

in 2018, the humboldt broncos' (a junior A team made up of 18-22 year olds) bus was hit by a tractor trailer on a highway intersection. 16 people (10 players, 2 coaches, and 4 team staff members) were killed, along with 13 other players severely injured.

the memory of the humboldt broncos crash is an incredibly sensitive subject carrying a lot of trauma to both the survivors, their families, and deceased's families. the trajectory of hockey in canada was changed significantly after this tragedy.

despite this, netflix has decided to make a show using the death of young hockey players for profit. they did not consult the survivors, nor the deceased's families. they stole a canadian story for a feel-good cash grab.

None of the families even knew about this show until the media started asking how they felt.

It is taking a tragedy and turning it into a cash cow.

This was such a deeply-felt issue that even the truck driver pleaded guilty and has tried to make amends. (And as he is facing deportation after his sentence, some of the families have even started supporting him being allowed to stay in the country.) There is a real story you could be telling about community and resilience that is not just turning one of the worst days for THE NATION into cheap thrills and sensationalism.

Its admittedly been... a while since I last read the manga and I didn't get around to reading Vigilantes, but one of the sticking points on "Hizashi is Punk" to me is that he's a spandex-clad enforcer of the state licensed by a government body to perform those duties. How can one be punk if they're a cop; how can one STAY punk if they're a cop? Or are heroes supposed to be generalized emergency services but we get on-screen emphasis on combat for the spectacle? Yet ALSO there's the question of how much hero work he actually does since UA has a canonically established schedule (and he'd have to be there before AND at least a little after school for faculty side stuff and potentially running a club and there's a whole big reason why I assume there's exponentially more teachers than we ever saw since there's 11 homerooms for each 3 years) and the only reason why we saw Aizawa doing hero work was because it was at night and we know/joke that the man constantly sleeps in class to make up for his horrible schedule.
