I read this out to my mother and she pointed out that in the 19th century this was a legitimate question people asked all the time.

Also, I wish people understood that the objection to someone claiming “thing-I-like-in-fiction-is-progressive” shouldn’t be that <thing> isn’t sufficiently progressive, but that who-likes-the-most-progressive fiction dick measuring contests are dumb as shit

I'm still only in the third question chapter of higurashi cos of busy but it's really good if you want to hear voice actresses do the most demented laughs in all of visual novels.

goddddddddd yes this. I promise you women are still a disenfranchised group even if they're not queer. Them enjoying m/m does not put them in the position of oppressor regardless of their own sexuality or gender situation.
Also, as an aside, people arguing against these bad takes just throwing around “cishet” like it’s a combination slur/argument instant win is fucking embarrassing. You’re not helping anyone by doing that.

The trouble is that for me it's just spite and my dick in equal measure. I'm not funny enough to do things for the bit and as someone whose teenage website was called Ink Stigmata I feel it's only right and good I never claim anything remotely like divine inspiration ever again. Spite and junk, tho.

The only correct answer is Pippin in the Mines of Moria after he knocks the skeleton down the well saying, quietly but with feeling into the subsequent horrified silence, “Fuck.”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

Or if it's not Devilman, it's at the very least Go Nagai. Like, @realgdt.bsky.social straight up said "we all steal from Go Nagai!" about Pacific Rim. Everything is Go Nagai.
If you've never watched or read Devilman, it truly is one of those Rosetta stone texts that pops up E V E R Y W H E R E.

Guts and Griffith? That's Devilman

Kamui and Fuuma? Shoujo Devilman

Kaworu and Shinji? Speedrun Devilman

Madoka and Homura? Yuri Devilman
Girl help my partner just called The Shining "the Devilman of Complicated White Man movies."

(she is not wrong)

Everything is Devilman. Tell me a text and I'll tell you how it's Devilman. Yuri on Ice is Devilman.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Me: I watched the first episode of heated rivalry. I liked it. I don't know if you would have liked it or not. I'm glad I didn't watch it with you.

My mother: I'm not a prude, you know.

Me: That's not the point! Nobody wants to watch that with their mother!

please enjoy this vision of 2026 from 'What's the World Coming To?' (1926), a silent film offering a terrifying glimpse 100 years into the future... where gender has been destroyed
