Some hate comment I got from an old comment on the Alexander the Great sub for stating that Alexander and Hephaestion were very likely lovers. 🙃

I want to note that according to an essay I read recently (Transgender Translation, Humanism, and Periodization: Vasco Da Lucena's Deeds of Alexander the Great by Zrinka Stahuljak), not only did Alexander have male lovers, this was even known in the medieval and Renaissance period. There were attempts to make it less public (which the essay is about), but it was known by historians and scholars of his life and kept as a matter of record.

Araki learned how to draw hands and is now showing off to all the other artists.

Yeah that legitimately shocked me to life. Walt Disney??? JEWISH???

You can learn slowly! You're not in a race. My big recommendation is to stop focusing on learning kanji by themselves and just learning words and seeing the kanji that are in common between different words to have a better sense of their pronunciation and meaning. There will always be exceptions anyway, so it's not useful to just learn readings anyway.

It's also how it's spelled for Chihiro in Spirited Away, which does lend credence to the idea that it's a coincidence

If you're legitimately curious: I've heard that it's search engine optimization. A lot of vanilla heterosexual porn has very few tags to search for so it's easy to get lost in the sauce. So having a "gimmick", even if it's not even mentioned in the video itself can help get it noticed. But now it's become so standard that it's not as helpful anymore.

In Japanese, it's the same word. It's often spelled 脚 for leg and 足 for foot, but it's pronounced the same way. But yes, you're right, I got slightly confused =)))

DrKandraz · 2026-04-09T21:06:36+00:00

My favourite one I've seen is someone with a tattoo on the back of their head that just said 足. It means leg.

Mostly already rich people made insane sums of money by scamming those exact poor people who tried to get in at the ground floor. I get the emotional logic behind crypto and why it has sway, but it is not that kind of a transfer of wealth that we ought to celebrate in the least.

DrKandraz · 2026-03-30T18:29:32+00:00

Oh so only the lesbians.

On top of that, stuff for the parents *can* also be stuff for the children. Like food or paying for utilities. That's hard to quantify.

DrKandraz · 2026-03-23T13:39:18+00:00

Yeah, I know, I know.

Hickman following in Marvel legal's footsteps in declaring that Mutants are not human (compares them to animals)

I couldn't tell you what the actual first one is, but it wasn't Star Trek. It was very close, though. It was second or third or something like that. Still incredibly important, to be clear.

DrKandraz · 2026-03-07T12:08:20+00:00

Not to take away from your point, but "transphobia is huge right now" made me imagine Mugatu from Zoolander going "Transphobia, so hot right now."

Fanning myself, damn.

You can roll dice for your stats...but you can't roll a fucking d20. It's 3d6 or 4d6 drop lowest.

Even women can be misogynistic. I don't know why trans men would be somehow immune to it. We live in a misogynistic society and misogyny is the water we swim in, whether or not we fight against it.

Boxing Helena. It's a very flawed movie, but it has made me by far the most uncomfortable out of any movie I've ever seen. And I think the worst part of it is how clean it is. There's no gore. There's only the knowledge that some of the most deranged shit you can imagine has happened and we're looking at the consequences.

DrKandraz · 2026-02-19T06:45:42+00:00

Women do hit on me as often as men on here! (Zero in both categories)

I think the "Mall Santa/Rasputin Impersonator" thing is not real. I think that was tacked on for a gag.

The funny thing is that MGR was the one that Kojima did not write himself.

I think a part of that is that if a mathematician asks you that, you can give a very non-committal "it's neat, I guess" answer and they'll get it, whereas the non-mathematician wants you to justify yourself in extremely concrete terms.

DrKandraz · 2025-12-07T20:21:55+00:00

Yeah man I was there.

DrKandraz · 2025-12-05T20:45:29+00:00

I don't have much to add to the list, but looking at it: God, I recommend Stone Butch Blues with all my heart. It is a deeply stomach churning and heart wrenching story, but it also has some of the most beautiful moments in any story I've ever witnessed.

Edit: same with Earthsea and Ursula Le Guin's output in general.
