i once read somewhere that new yorkers refered to the twin towers as the boxes the chrysler building and empire state building came in

the fact that Reylo discourse is now almost entirely 'is this ship toxic :)' always throws me off so much because I genuinely think the MUCH bigger issue with Reylo was that it pushed a black man to the side as Not Love Interest Material in favor of a white nazi. Like the issue is that shipping Reylo arrived transparently because people did not care about the black man – which I know, because the ship became popular before we even had The Last Jedi! When they'd barely interacted! If Kylo were black and Finn were white, Reylo would not be popular and it would never have become canon in any way, and I do think a refusal to grapple with that is honestly very embarrassing.

Stitch is still being harassed about this btw.

I can't remember who said it but I saw a comment or tweet talking about hypocrisy that essentially said The Hypocrisy Is The Point. hypocrisy is power. it's the ability to set rules for everyone else except you. and if power is a virtue then hypocrisy is a virtue. it's why you never really get anywhere with "by your logic..." or "then wouldn't that mean...". it's not that they don't realize they're being hypocritical. they do it on purpose to prove that you have to listen to them and they don't have to listen to you

It should have been obvious that after Bridget discourse being the playbook for every “totally not a trans woman” character discourse that Bridget discourse would also be the playbook for every “actually that character is undeniably a trans woman” discourse that follows the first. Not that it happens as often, but of course it would go the same way.

for the record the new playbook is that once it becomes nearly impossible to deny the character is a trans woman (although some will still try) the discourse will become about how shes actually a bad character and overrated and you should care about this cis gay boy instead.

there are as of yet only so many characters whom the second pattern has happened too because its still rare for characters to go from trans women but not explicitly to it being explicit or otherwise being undeniable. but the few times it has happened it follows this playbook exactly. obviously bridget, but it also happened with mizuki project sekai and its happening now with jax. this is the pattern going forward.
