detective fierce is literally on the case

one thing i do find fun about having a new adaptation of homer very present in the public eye with a lot of very vocal critics is that it truly is a continuation of an age old tradition of getting mad at homeric reception. there were people in the 1st century complaining at vergil for Doing Homer Wrong. a critic named herennius pointed out everything he thought sucked in vergil's poetry. agrippa thought maecenas hired vergil to create a new poetic style and that style was Lame. quintus octavius avitus supposedly wrote an 8 volume series of every line he thought vergil plagiarized. i hope we get this every 2000 years from now on.

I don't understand how cis people obsessed with gender norms think trans people are the weird ones. they're going around believing that your name has to correlate to your genitals. your fashion has to correlate to your genitals. your behaviours have to correlate to your genitals. your hobbies have to correlate to your genitals. who you date has to correlate to your genitals. whether you can put sparkles on your eyelids or not has to correlate to your genitals. and then people like me go "hmm. I might not do that. maybe I'll just do what feels fun and okay instead" and they LOSE their MINDS

I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

yknow what i mean it's usually like a journalist uncovering that a completely offline faceless ceo at Franchise Corp was funneling funko pop dollars into an anti abortion lobby or something. jkr is just online 24/7 like if you buy tickets to my wizard theme park you are helping me destroy the enemies of western civilization you are uplifting the voices of women who menstruate
