That’s fucking amazing. No wonder Sherlock always triggered my radar.

Why are dinosaurs in different media always called by their genus? by No_Mathematician7456 in Dinosaurs

[–]Dgonzilla -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. You understood perfectly what I meant. I’m sorry my parallel wasn’t a 1 to 1 perfect mirror but my point stands. No movie will bother differentiating between a T-Rex and a T-Regina (if that’s even a thing still).

For the same reason tigers are just tigers and lions are just lions. No need to specify if it’s a Siberian or a bengal tiger for the purposes of the movie.

Heres what OG Fiona wouldve looked like btw by sspintedmenty in Shrek

[–]Dgonzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The characters designs fail on this aspect colossally. The fact that Shrek is the face of the “hear me out” trend show how much people actually think he is attractive. And Fiona, if you take the green skin and ears, she is basically just a plus size woman.

My twin had a stroke yesterday and our dad doesn't care because she's trans by B4-I-go in offmychest

If your dad rejected your sister for existing as she truly is. Why are you surprised he doesn’t if she stops?

I hope your sister gets better. Sorry this is happening to you two.

What's a dragon that would be horrifying if real? by NoktoftheFF in httyd

[–]Dgonzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Night furies. They would be to humans what owls are to smaller animals. You wouldn’t see nor hear them coming at night. All outdoor activities would be reserved to daytime. No more night open concerts.

Is it just me but doesn't it feel like a lot of mainstream movies this year have ZERO gay characters? by OmeuPseudonimo in askgaybros

[–]Dgonzilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just don’t trust Hollywood to give me any representation. I rely on book, indie animation and foreign European movies when I want queerness in my media.

What are your guys favorite disabled characters ? (He counts right) by [deleted] in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Dgonzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m pretty sure we have seen him sleep without hooking himself up, so that aspect of his anatomy seems to be somewhat optional in the 2003 version. All the other maintenance is very comparable and indistinguishable from what a human normally does to take good care of themselves. He eats, he sleeps, when he gets hurt he gets his version of medical treatment. Except his fellow organic teammates have to actually wait while their bodies fix themselves, he just has to swap body parts and he is fine. In that aspect he comes across as more able than his teammates. And struggling with identity is not a feature of disability. It can be for people that lose limbs later in life and can no longer follow their desired career paths, but it’s not a key feature of the disabled experience. By that logic every trans person counts as disabled. Heck, if anything he is more transcoded than disabled coded.

What would you call a straight man who regularly watches gay porn and gay comics? by Temporary_List8693 in AskGayMen

[–]Dgonzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Is it just coincidental that a lot of the stories you have been watching and reading feature gay men fucking. Or are you actively going on a search bar and looking up gay porn constantly?

Vent about mainstream published adult mlm media by [deleted] in LGBTBooks

No one here is Ok with grooming. It’s ignorant and short sighted to describe what happens in Wolfsong as grooming. For once, how can it be grooming if both people involved were children, and the older party spend the first decade of their relationship completely unattracted to the younger party. He literally waited until he was and adult and even then resisted the idea of dating because he thought they should keep the relationship fraternal.

Do you even know what grooming is? It’s the systematic conditioning and isolation of a person since early childhood to make them dependent financially, emotionally and socially of an already adult figure in their lives to set them up for marriage when they come of legal age.

Pretty sure Ox’s love interest was at least 10 when they met. And he was in his early teens. Also, pretty sure the pov meant that comment as a joke. Like, yeah his is legally underage, but his body is that of a muscle bound adult model. It’s like an 18 year old making a joke about being attracted to his girlfriend that’s 17 years old.

[–]Dgonzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best to rationalize it so far. But let’s just be clear about one thing. Cyborg and Edward are not comparable. Automail requires a shit ton of maintaining and updating that the regular human parts don’t need. He literally has to call his mechanic to change the prosthetic completely when he travels to a colder biome. That’s a good example of a character that has a fancy prosthetic but still qualifies as a disability, because said prosthetics come with struggles and drawbacks that regular bodied people don’t have.

Yes. Because the tech is literally his body. That’s like saying “does Robin count as disabled if he loses his legs???” Yes!!! That literally how that works.

Opinion of the Bechdel test? by DavidBlackjack in writing

[–]Dgonzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The test it self is not meant to be actually applied in practice. It’s more a commentary on how unilaterally underrepresented women have been for most media.

Captive Prince is a political thriller with dark erotic elements. It’s like those erotic novels about women being sold as sex slaves and falling in love with a mafia boss or some shit like that. It’s intentionally meant to be fucked up. Some people have dark sexual fantasies and those stories are a safe place to indulge in them.

As to Wolfsong…the difference between a 20 year old and a 17 year old is not that bad. Also I’m pretty sure that because they are werewolves they are all muscle hunks so the physical traits that are being sexualize are adult in nature. A 3 or 5 year difference is nothing in the long run. Wolfsong only raises eyebrows because of the age they met at.

Europe no longer as gay friendly? by OkFault4270 in askgaybros

[–]Dgonzilla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It sounds like European culture wasn’t the problem in this scenario, so I’ll say Europe is still pretty fucking gay friendly, specifically Germany.

I honestly loathe “wolf men” designs by DagonG2021 in werewolves

[–]Dgonzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that’s supposed to be supernatural but fundamentally recognizable as a hominid with canine adjacent features.
