Warhammer 40,000 is of course, uh, not unproblematic. But patterning orks specifically and incredibly blatantly off English football hooligan culture was probably simultaneously the least bigoted and most creative thing literally anyone did with the concept of 'the orc' at any point in the 1980s

“they never explicitly looked at the camera and said ‘i am experiencing immense grief’ so how was i supposed to know??” i don’t know what to tell you, man. if a story doesn’t spoon-feed you the character's internal emotional state like a jar of mashed peas, you guys just willingly starve. subtext is not a myth, i promise it won't bite you.

The thing about being a tumblrina is that you provide such valuable contributions to the broader internet ecosystem and you get zero compensation for that. They should be giving us airline miles

people don’t want to acknowledge that adhd can actually be debilitating. they’ll just be like “why do you keep ruining your own life. you’re so lazy”

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

Schism? Schism today?

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

@heresylog

Just to be clear to anybody, especially in the USA because I know that Catholicism isn't as common there, this is not a cool rebellion against authority. While some traditionalist Catholics are purely interested in ecumenical things like the Latin mass, in the USA a significant portion of the movement for traditionalism is made up of violent antisemites. The "church's understanding of, and relationship with Judaism" they reference here is the idea that all Jews are not solely personally responsible for the death of Jesus

Yeah, so, do you know how unbelievably too conservative you have to be to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church? This isn’t a cute little rebellion against the pope’s authority or a mild disagreement, it’s partially that but more importantly it’s because SSPX is hardline Latin Mass only, no religious freedom, women can’t wear pants, oh, and Jews killed Jesus anti-Vatican II sect. They’re the kind of people who HATE the pretty minor changes to Mass and seem to believe in tradition for its own sake. In 1988, they consecrated bishops without the approval of the pope and were excommunicated, only for Pope Benedict 16 (I don’t know the Roman numerals) give them a slap on the wrist and brought them back into the fold for the sake of unity. Decades later, they have the pure audacity to do it again, I suspect they either knew they’d get excommunicated again and didn’t care or were bold enough to assume they’d get a different result. Either way, good riddance and I hope they learn their lesson this time.

(no beers in) So how do you perceive me in the privacy of your thoughts
