I've got men arguing that there's no power imbalance between Caiti's friend (a 20 year old intoxicated woman with a small platform) and Dream and George (26/7 year old men who were still fairly sober with huge platforms) in Dream's literal hotel room.
Because there's "no sexist power imbalance between adult women and adult men".
I am BEGGING for you to think critically about sexism here.
As a robot enthusiast I am compelled to say this:
A true machine with ticking gears, pumping pistons, and a nuclear engine roaring with radioactive heat >>>>> flying human women in shiny skin suits
as a lesbian and a robotfucker i would like to give my two cents on the busty robots from the nuclear retrofuture video games. no notes on assaultrons because they are perfect
First real post I am making on this site and I am fucking pissed off about TCA&L because I expected more from it. (Disclaimer I didn't play it because I'm poor and only have a macbook) Nothing fucking fazed me and the writing is so mid. And I wouldn't be so mad if the fans didn't put this shit on a pedestal and gave it 10/10s. Seething with boiling rage.
From all the praise it was getting I was expecting a calf's head slathered in the blood of the farmer's firstborn, dipped in gravy (that is made of what remained of 20 malnourished children that were fed to a politician), and topped off with the feathers of an extinct parrot species from a country that doesn't exist anymore. All I got was a damn roasted chicken covered in piss! If anyone wants to send me death threats or whatever over this then ya'll are massive pussies.
I'm showing up to this topic three years late, but the overrall fandom response to Scott's response about his political donations is really strange to me in hindsight.
I guess I'm not super surprised that people took his words of not being racist or queerphobic at face-value, but I am disappointed.
At best, we don't know the guy, and being able to evaluate whether he definitively is or is not bigoted is just something that's hard to do with the limited information we have, especially since we don't know how genuine his online persona is. He doesn't elaborate very much on his political views in his reddit post [link] other than specifically saying he's a Christian republican and pro-life.
But even beyond that, most white, allocishet, able-bodied, and otherwise privileged people will deny any accusations of bigotry without reflecting on themselves first, because acknowledging the bigoted things we are taught and complacent in immediately feels like an attack. It takes conscious work to actually respond in a constructive, repairative way to that, and Scott's post feels really dismissive, especially in that he outright refuses to apologize for supporting the candidates in question. The whole post had a "I'm sorry you feel that way" overtone, which is not a proper apology let alone a solution. I feel that someone genuinely invested in disproving those accusations, i.e. not because it hurts their ego, but because it hurts others, would put more care into their response.
Not to mention, even if Scott genuinely isn't queerphobic, and especially if he isn't racist, it's not enough to not be those things. You have to actively unlearn and fight against them. I will give Scott that he has supported organizing against queerphobia with donations to the Trevor Project, but I'm not sure if he has supported any antiracist organizations or movements.
He states he supported a politician thinking they could help "bring the Black community out of poverty," but doesn't elaborate further. From what I understand, that's not necessarily an acknowledgment of systemic racism, as many racists will acknowledge that Black people struggle, but then deny that it's the fault of systemic oppression.
Regardless, neither of these erase his donations to queerphobic and racist politicians. And his admitted pro-life stance is most definitely informed by some amount of misogyny, which is rampant in American Christian spaces.
That's really a lot of words to say that as much as Scott defined our childhood and seems like a nice guy, we shouldn't take his statements at face value at all. We have little information, and what we do have doesn't seem to paint a pretty picture.
It's been three years and I can only hope his opinions and donation patterns have changed, but without any solid evidence, I don't feel comfortable giving him money or benefit of the doubt.
I love this shit
Love the puns from Pun Hub

Was it just me, or did Cassian and Mon Mothma have... good chemistry?
Reblogging this so people get reminded
Reminder: Michelle in the book is a lesbian. They erased that part of her in the movie adaptation for no reason at all. Fuck Netflix and the Russos.
