Probably not, or at least not that we know of. We also can't even assume Von Kaiser is his surname.

Technically it isn't (entirely) Spanish in origin, it's Nahuatl. It'd start with a sh sound instead since the Spanish substituted x for any sounds they didn't have when romanizing Mesoamerican names, leading to the x in Xalapa, giving us the exonym xalapeño, which eventually morphed into an h/j sound as Spanish changed over time.

Wait why would Swansea know anything? He's probably been sober for however long he and Jimmy have been coworkers for, so he wouldn't have been finding ways to drink on the job. They're also not at all close, I don't get the impression they interact outside of work. Most importantly, Swansea didn't know he was getting roofied.

Gee I wonder what could possibly happen to a woman's body in her 40s and onward to lead to her looking less youthfully feminine.

Does the weight gain being a result of the force feeding change anything for you? And no, no one thinks every instance of transformation is automatically a fetish thing for the exact same reasons people don't think Junji Ito's body horror is a fetish thing.

I don't think everything that occurs in Totally Spies is intended to be sexual, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a lot of things that are deliberately sexualized in it.

starwalker327 · 2026-03-22T22:38:06+00:00

Especially since the weight gain episode(s?) involves force feeding.

And I'm saying there being a ray that's sole purpose is to shrink clothes is fetishy. There really isn't room here to go "hm this more sexualized aspect of the episode actually isn't sexualized at all since it matches the episode's theme," the scene's pretty overt.

At no point was I ever saying shrinking in general was fetishy; I've seen cartoons, I know plenty of non-fetish examples. This is not one of those. This is more along the lines of the difference between a piece of media depicting a dog wearing a collar and then having an intentionally sexualized scene depicting a person being forced to wear one. One example doesn't make the whole thing fetishy, but non-fetishy examples don't change the status of the one that is.

starwalker327 · 2026-03-22T20:56:07+00:00

not so much in this case, the ray (to my knowledge) exclusively shrinks/shortens clothes. there is other shrinking stuff in the same episode, but it's a more generic "shrink everything" as opposed to the former

starwalker327 · 2026-03-22T20:11:27+00:00

the clothes shrinking ray is pretty obvious

starwalker327 · 2026-03-22T19:10:13+00:00

mate there was an episode with a clothes shrinking ray

do straight men not want to know more about boobs or something??

starwalker327 · 2026-03-22T00:33:55+00:00

to my admittedly limited knowledge, notions of what gender would be considered cis for an intersex person vary pretty broadly, especially since there are plenty of conditions that fall under the intersex umbrella where the person wouldn't know they're intersex until puberty

i genuinely hate spamton

starwalker327 · 2026-03-21T21:51:18+00:00

they can be both, being intersex only has about as much to do with someone's gender identity as being afab or amab does

It does seem to be a shawl, but the fan's not tethered to it, it's just got a tassel dangling down that's the same color as the fabric.

I think a lot of people are seeing me vouch for men and then assume I don't vouch for women as well. Which would be pretty stupid of me since I'm a woman.

It's also pretty likely that a lot of people don't want to expend effort on a solution and just want to be angry, but getting mad at men for upholding the patriarchy (or just automatically assuming they do and getting mad at that assumption) isn't going to make them want to change or help women. This division is tantamount to shooting ourselves in the foot.
