It is fucking devastating when you realize how little women, particularly queer women, mean to anyone.
My city had 20 Pride Month events last year. Six were explicitly for gay men. Five more centered gay men, and happened in gay men’s bars.
Two were for WLW. One got canceled, the other got turned into a “Ladies Night” so more straight women felt welcome.
None of the posters had women on them.
I live in one of the gayest cities in the country.
No. We did. We do. You need to understand that we deserve good art. We deserve media that is both incredible at teaching the broad public very complicated philosophical theory, as well as be funny as shit. We don’t just deserve it, we need it.
Many people quit learning anything new after High School or College, if they attend. They have been traumatized by the education system so severely that they have a panic attack if they need to learn a new program for a job. People refuse to learn things because they seem hard, or because it sounds like something someone Smart would know.
Learning doesn’t need to be scary. Shows like this can do more to undo some of that fear of learning. Shows like this prove that people ARE interested in philosophy! People want to be good to each other! People can follow dense lecture and lore, as long as you contextualize it with something they’re already familiar with.
We can change things. Please, believe me. It doesn’t need to be like this.
Tldr; the Good Place is Sesame Street for adults, we DO deserve it, and we need to stop expecting television that has the same quality as Adult CocoMelon.
we really didn't deserve The Good Place. a bizarrely high-budget sitcom telling a longform, highly conceptual story that you need to have been watching from episode one, which was allowed to play out at its own pace and wrap things up when it intended to, and it didn't even lose steam over its four seasons. that's practically proof of the existence of a loving god
“Faith has earned me nothing but a liar’s tongue,
A child’s grief.
Promised the sacrament, but understand-
You will not save me.
You will not save me.
But you’ll consecrate me.”
You believed in Batman, in Bruce Wayne. He was bigger than life, bigger than death…until he wasn’t. Ain’t that the way it always goes with parents?
Daddy didn’t save you, but he’ll sure make you a martyr. Every moment of your life stripped of autonomy and personhood, towards the monument of Bruce’s pain.
It becomes the thing that defines Bruce, because that’s what Bruce does with pain. He puts it in a goddamn trophy case for everyone to see. Bruce doesn’t know how to be anything but ostentatious.
You came back from death, but you’re different now. You’ll never be as squeaky clean. That’s the thing about death- it cleanses all sin. Broken men will never measure up against dead boys. Dead birds.

Queer, Creative, and believe you’re worth knowing.
Leave a comment, reblog, or DM telling me why we should become acquainted.
You ever see a woman you hate bossing people around in a black leather jacket and just think:
Maybe this changes things.
I have not even brought up the “villains.” I say villains because they are not so much evil as they are violently protesting for human rights. Good for them.
My favorite character can open dimensional pockets. She kidnaps her favorite monsters and locks them in an old school to make them play dolls.
Generator Rex is legitimately one of the best cartoons ever created, and if I could find a way to watch it I would promptly write a 10k essay on why.
Me: am i evil cause i don’t let people treat me like shit and know my worth? Will that mean that i am forever alone due to my lofty standards (being treated like a person)?
My mother, 12 years earlier: you are evil cause you don’t let people treat you like shit and know your worth. that will mean that you are forever alone due to your unrealistic and lofty standards
You should know this
And this
Play back to back.
Me: damn this playlist is AMAZING every single song is a hit, no skips. I should save it-
Me: This is my likes folder.
So many of their interactions just don’t make any sense unless the point of the cutscene is romantic tension.
So I’m just checking here.
Are there people who don’t think Marcus Holloway and Wrench are dating?

So are they banning kids from horror movies, or
Because that’s a whole genre. Any work with Finn Wolfhard is now illegal. Poor guy.
Or how about Game of Thrones? That’s pretty obscene. Recordings of Shirley Temple got pretty fucking obscene. How far does this stretch? Or Hell, Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, they’re all known for hiding sex jokes in kids animation. Is Shrek on the naughty list? Pinocchio is arguably the most vulgar character and he *looks* like a child.
They must be banning half of Nickelodeon’s catalogue. After all, iCarly was 30% minors pandering to an adult man’s foot fetish.
My state is banning "obscene depictions of minors in content (or someone that looks like one)"
It's safe to say that they don't care about protecting real kids. If they did, child marriage and child beauty pageants would be outlawed.
More than likely, they're using this to conveniently label LGBT content as obscene and then ban it, regardless of context. But of course, if I question this, I'll be called a pedophile.
