rowling is pure projection. she believes the mere existence of trans people is a direct threat to her, and she wants them exterminated.

I don't like the way she describes muggles. Why? Cuz bitch I'm a muggle and I don't like to be called what she calls me.

the last of us was a mediocre narrative that got pushed the first time because the OH MY GOD IT'S GAMING ART lined up with everyone jerking off about zombies, and this time it's because OH MY GOD SOMEONE ADAPTED A VIDEO GAME RIGHT when it was already an adapted video game

vampire survivors is a better narrative

It's weird how mentally corrosive being a terf is. It's like, they always start out just mildly bigoted and then fall down a rabbit hole where it becomes this obsession for them

I think being told "you're wrong" elicits a reactionary response from most people, but that most normal people are able to process it and change because they're not egomaniacs. but if you've spent a decade or two being surrounded by people that all get their money from you and tell you how smart and influential and incredible you are, it corrodes your ability to process the thought "I'm wrong".

The mindvirus has merged the concepts of feminism and trans oppression for her and she is literally and earnestly convinced she is making a stand for human rights on the level of the suffragettes by commanding an online targeted harassment army against marginalized young people

and nobody likes her new movies so she's bored and is having self-esteem issues

It's both

finished reading Killers of the Flower Moon over the weekend in anticipation of the Scorcese adaptation, really highly readable book with some undertold history that is very disturbing though unfortunately not as shocking as it should be. compared the casting to the pics in the book and they nailed some of the choices. curious which way they take the story and how much hard info vs speculation they include, but i think they're gonna knock this one outta the park. was happy to read the Osage were involved in production quite a bit.

Just remembered that this is the unedited "Early Life" section from Joanna Newsom's Wikipedia entry

quote:

Newsom was born on January 18, 1982[2] in Grass Valley, California.[3][4] Her parents, both doctors, were "progressive-minded professionals" who previously lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.[5] Newsom was raised in Nevada City[6] along with her older brother, Peter, and younger sister, Emily.[5] She is the second cousin, twice removed, of Gavin Newsom, Governor of California.[7][8]

As a child, Newsom was not allowed to watch television or listen to the radio. She describes her parents as "kind of idealists when it came to hoping they could protect us from bad influences, like violent movies, or stupid stuff."[9] She was exposed to music from a young age. Her father played the guitar, and her mother was a classically trained pianist who played the hammered dulcimer, the autoharp and conga drums.[10][11] Newsom attended a Waldorf school where she studied theater and learned to memorize and recite long poems.[12]

and lol'ed all over again because it is pretty on-the-nose for what I would come up with if I had to make up what Joanna Newsom's childhood was probably like for a shitpost or something

There was that coffin in Dark Souls 2 that would change your characters sex but you wouldnt notice if you were wearing armor since the armor sets (mostly?) werent gendered. you'd just chill in the coffin and get out and it would seem like nothing happened until you take off your armor later in the game for some reason and saw that you were now a woman.
