inconsequential gibberish.

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.

"who's that? that's bob." fuck dude it sure is.

Very few heroes just tie a random length of cloth around their necks and go. Despite looking simple the capes of heroes other than Batman either have a specialized purpose (Superman's cape is woven out of the Kryptonian equivalent of cotton and is also invulnerable) or any downsides are negated by their powers. The number one use for a superheroes cape is as a bulletproof shield that can be used to protect civilians and this is an important tool for any hero to have and pretty much all modern capes can easily by dropped or released when they become a liability.

Would also point out that capes or cloaks were traditionally used in fencing because they could be used to deflect the blade of an opponent, and this is where the phrase "cloak and dagger" comes from. The Batman argument genuinely has basis in reality.
