To the Sound of the End of Days

When I hear "tumblr sexyman," I think of Cecil Night Vale being constantly depicted as a skinny white man instead of literally anything else. I think of the background character white men who get elevated over protagonists that are women, people of color, or otherwise not the white man power fantasy.

Cecil Night Vale, as previously mentioned.

Oncelercest, because if there aren't two skinny white men to ship, tumblr fandom will start shipping the skinny white man with himself.

Bill Cipher inexplicably being fanon'd as a white twink despite being a fucking triangle.

Everyone fawning over Marvel Loki while shoving every woman and Black person in the MCU aside.

The way nearly every single character in Hazbin Hotel has the same "tall and skinny" body type, along with all the criticisms Black audience members have made about the issues with Alastor's design.

worf (has barely been on qo’nos): ”the targ is a beautiful and honorable animal.” end of interview. 0/10.

jadzia: in-depth and quite disgusting explanation about how the symbiont works, including the transplantation process. way too many medical details are included but molly seems to like it. 5/10.

garak: in-depth explanation about the different animals and plants on prime with a long detour into what types of poetry have been written about each one. he goes home and drinks himself to sleep afterwards. alcohol poisoning/10.

You would think this would be something people make podcasts about.

It is not.

Instead, there are dozens of podcasts about how we faked the moon landing.

Frustratingly, this is a similar thing to what happens when I want to listen to a podcast about literally any medical topic.
