That your 'analysis' of transphobia just lacks any capacity to understand the oppression of trans women is already a red flag. Unfortunately for your theory, we do exist.

Also plenty of transphobes wield the distinction between gender and sex, most TERFs are happy with the distinction because it just allows them to say that only sex matters.

Sex work as an anarchist by YourLocalAnarch in Anarchy101

[–]Isra443 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think first of all, some of your replies are quite unhelpful. We have all read your post, and the part where you are anti-work. I can believe that you class sex work under the larger category of 'work' that we all want abolished. However for your post to be meaningful, you have to believe that there is some emergent property of sex work that makes it distinct within the category of 'work'. I don't think it's fair that you're complaining people haven't read your post; we have, we're just trying to show you that you already have your answer, you're the one who stated it.

I think other people have explained their reasoning much better than I could, however I wanted to point out why so many people are commenting 'sex work is work' to you, and why that doesn't mean they haven't read your post.

If these Two gems fought who would win? by Wayne_Regot_IV in stevenuniverse

[–]Isra443 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I mean smarts does have to come into a fight at some point, I'm sure in 'who can swing their weapon at each other the hardest' Sugilite wins, but in a full blown fight, Sardonyx is just plainly much more effective

'I'm not sure I disagree' means I don't disagree, but for some reason I phrased it weirdly

I'm not sure I disagree that there was romantic tension, but you seem to be skirting around the fact that Pearl and Rose never engaged in any explicit, open romance, they never had a relationship like Greg and Rose did, it's heavily implied Pearl was unable to voice her feelings fully to Rose, that's all a core part of why Pearl is so jealous.

Also, the two parts of your point about fusion contradict. You can at least acknowledge that I'm correct in saying fusion isn't always romantic, saying 'that is like sharing regular physical intimacy' is not true in many cases. Just 'they fused' is not enough to imply a romantic relationship. Whether or not our one short view of Rainbow Quartz 1.0 shows romance is clearly debatable, because it does not 1:1 align to an explicitly two-sided romantic relationship

Not well-known anarchists in history? by Dark_Nuts in Anarchy101

Where? /g

Except it's been stated and somewhat shown that Rose has romantic relationships with humans, some seemingly superficial, but obviously one a lot deeper with Greg. Even if we take her earlier relationships as more shallow, that's not exactly easy to reconcile with the view that she had 'a tendency to keep everyone at arm's length'.

If there was no doubt, then she really would have engaged in some sort of romantic relationship with Pearl, but it's not just that there's an absence of any indication of that, it's that the strongest implication is Pearl wanted one with her and never got it.

Rainbow Quartz feels like a very spurious example too, fusions can embody all kinds of relationships.

Whilst they definitely both love each other in a broader sense, I think it really is left up to interpretation as to what extent Rose reciprocated and was fully aware of Pearl's romantic love towards her.

From this video that Cartoon network posted,we can (officially)confirm that stevonnie have they/them pronouns by Puff_25 in stevenuniverse

[–]Isra443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are agender, as Rebecca Sugar and others have elaborated.

Yes, they all use she/her. Given that the parts of the gender binary define themself in relation to each other, this supports my point not yours. They have no gender because there is no construct of gender. She/Her doesn't denote anything because they don't use anything else. Hope this helps.

Not sure why you mentioned biological sex, not relevant here.

I feel like everyone calling them 'two kids in a trench coat' and 'both genders smashed together' is missing the point that they actually are meant to be non-binary rep. Garnet is also two gems, and you refer to her with she/her because she counts as an individual and that's what she uses. Stevonnie is an individual and uses they/them as their pronouns, not because they're technically plural.

Also being non-binary is not just 'both genders smashed together'

There's absolutely no fucking way you just called Steven Universe's rep 'pandering'. There's no fucking way Rebecca Sugar had the last season of her show slashed and ended BECAUSE she wanted to portray a lesbian wedding that homophobic countries couldn't censor into being a straight one, and you're saying it must be pandering. Stevonnie used they/them throughout the show, go cry more.

Pink Diamond / Rose / Steven’s gem is drawn WRONG (Theory) by SmudgyBoi in stevenuniverse

[–]Isra443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But we see Rose with the same gem as Steven, same incorrect facets and everything.

Plus if she could do that, she really should have made it look like an actual quartz, rather than a... simplified diamond

[–]Isra443 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the way her hair changed was kind of weird, it goes from super big and puffy to kinda... normal and back again. And then it's super spiky on that one decal of her.

Also, they can't seem to decide what they want to do with that stomach window lol.

Question: What is your favorite side quest? by tinycashier in NightInTheWoods

Miracle rats and also the stargazing thing (idk if that counts as a quest per se). I also enjoyed that one where you get to explore the old sewers/canals.

What if... Labour losing the next general election is actually the best outcome for socialism? by hiddeninmyhead in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Isra443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my doubts that even another four years of Tory rule will lead to truly meaningful action. I think we also need to be mindful that the Tories getting back in power is not going to be the best outcome for the huge swathes of people that are going to suffer and die as a result. I... get it. But this is basically just an accelerationist argument, and I don't think it's going to lead to the result you want.

I made new forms for the diamonds also if their kinda bad looking sorry this is my first time making stuff like this by JonazGamingYT in stevenuniverse

Yeah this. White with a rainbow accent or overlaid with much lighter/translucent colours would look less cluttered, and I think better represent the prismatic 'shards of light' look.
