Everything is Sinister

Gwenpool was created in a variant cover for Deadpool.



With the success of Spider-Gwen, they did a theme month with a bunch of Gwen variants.









gently caress, even Image's Invincible got in on it.



Then, in the most cynical business move possible, the positive reception to that very cover led to them green lighting a book based on the variant cover.

And then they later did a MJ variant month.

Maybe they should do a Black Cat variant month to tie in with the new ongoing.

Oh god, how long until we get a Carlie Cooper variant month?

Also X-23 should get Gwenverine's costume.

They’re reporting everyone for misgendering. EVS even announced his pronouns are now “they/them”. :rolleyes:

Since realizing I was transgender it's been surprising to me how easy it's been for me to dismiss the hateful poo poo from all these people considering the usual state of my self confidence, but this kind of disingenuous weaponizing of our identities to use against us and our allies is actually really getting to me. It's forcing us to play along with them mocking us to our faces.

I don't know if it's retroactively so much as just mass-reporting. Whether Twitter sees this "excuse" as valid I guess we'll see.

I like how I report tweets with obvious death threats, hate speech, etc in them, and nothing gets done. Meanwhile, someone reports a tweet that "accidentally misgendered" someone due to bait EVS and other chuds have created, and Twitter falls all over itself to slap down the victim of the trap.

loving horrible system.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

This is why Silicon Valley needs to be disrupted and the homophobic, transphobic, racist patrichary in charge of it needs to be removed and replaced by rational life forms.

Before the Trump presidency I figured Silicon Valley was going to morph into its own potentially worse brand of cold detachment from humanity and empathy while continuing to put on a passing public face, but it turns out it's merging with the Right's existing brand just fine.

They still seem to believe they're fooling everyone, though.

Farrakhan is a great example of chud fascist doublethink. Farrakhan is simultaneous a filthy leftist who proves that they're the real antisemites while also being unfairly censored for antisemitism.

The antisemitism isn't great, but, as a self described leftist, my major problem with Farrakhan is him ordering the murder of Malcolm X.

He's like so many people on the right, where ultimately their ideological allegiance is guided by basically just the child's glee in figuring out they can hurt people and get away with it.

Maybe I'm just pissy because I got dead-named in a pretty petty and cruel way in a student eval, which, you know, is protected by anonymity, but I'm even more convinced than usual that most people who are lovely to trans people are only lovely to trans people because they know they won't get in trouble for it. EVS is the kind of person who would pull a cat's tail or twist a dog's ear as a kid because he knew it meant he had power over something else.

It sucks to be on the receiving end of this poo poo, but christ, I can't imagine how much it sucks to be so vacant and loveless inside that casual sadism is the core of your identity. I hope he gets help, and barring that, I hope he gets run over by a truck.
