I think good is a stretch
I think it's good because it concisely expresses a couple of things I had felt were gross about the whole movember/facial hair enthusiast thing and the gendered coding of illness awareness.

Besides if breast cancer awareness involves a ton of "save the tatas" and boob stuff, why doesn't prostate cancer awareness involve a lot of buttplay stuff? The answer is that both are coded to be palatable to unselfaware straight men.

The article somewhat misses the point that movember is explicitly designed to get the type of people who ordinarily wouldn't to take an interest and in that respect it's a huge success

Now let's play the little utilitarian game of imagining how much good it would do if it was explicitly oriented and marketed around prostate play

That doesn't mean that the criticisms mentioned in the article are invalid nor does it mean the gross aspects of it aren't there. It's using it as a lens to explore many things related to masculinity and illness.

And it's not advocating for that kind of marketing, it's unpacking why it isn't done.

Ayutthaya is ridiculously wealthy though unless they nerfed the Bukkhara trade node (you did conquer Bukkhara right)

Last time I played them I started the Southeast Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and had a worldwide monopoly on chili peppers
