Heart Golden & Split

no more gendered dress codes. no more gender markers on passports, driver's licenses, ids. i'm not talking about "adding x" or "adding a third category" i'm talking about no more categories, period. why does the government need to know what my genital situation is? why does the government feel the need to assign me a sex on the basis of genitals? why does the cop who pulled me over need to see an m, or an f, or an x?

no more "gender is a social construct, sex is the thing that's binary." sex is not binary. abolish the idea that it is. normalize conversations about intersex traits. being intersex is natural. the sex binary is a thing imposed by the state.

no more gendered sports. if you really care about equity, sort people into categories based on skill level and athleticism, not gender or sex. the concept that there are only two sexes and that one is inherently weaker than the other is pseudoscience. the male/female hunter/gatherer dichotomy is not based in fact, and is a product of modern sexist cultural biases. one gender is not inherently subservient to the other. people are not inherently different on the basis of sex or gender. it is just more complicated than that.

the concept of multiple genders and sexes beyond the man/woman male/female dichotomy has existed as long as humans have existed. the sex binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. the gender binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. continuing to impose it just controls (and harms) the people it forcibly categorizes.

Round 8, Match 4 — The Nowhere King (Centaurworld) vs. Merengue (Animal Crossing)

The Nowhere King propaganda:

Spooky mass of blackness with too many legs and a deer skull makes for an amazing main villain design imo

Merengue propaganda:

i love the strawberry shortcake / parfait thing - the white topping as whipped cream, the horn as a strawberry (and it’s upturned so it literally looks like it’s perched there), her hooves are like little dollop feet, and the tail puff being peachy-strawberry is such a tiny detail that makes it feel cohesive instead of random. and the chef outfit on top of that

Round 8, Match 3 — GLaDOS (Portal) vs. The Knight (Hollow Knight)

GLaDOS propaganda:

N/A

Knight propaganda:

Effective at being bug-like but clearly distinct and more ghostlike than other bugs in the game. Also really cute
