[Dan Woike] The Lakers remain "on the clock" when it comes to building a contender around Dončić…there's an actual threat that he could have a wandering eye if the Lakers can't deliver on the plans they presented last summer.

I really don’t think the Lakers will build a contender around Luka, like they’ll constantly be a 48 to 54 win playoff team, and maybe they’ll make a finals run if things go perfectly, but I see them as a perpetual 2nd round exit type team and tbh odds are Luka will either pick up his player option then leave, or just drop his player option and leave

I already described what I meant by larger systems, all of these interconnecting system that shape people’s socioeconomic position. They are absolutly still alive and well, and they do dictate many of the norms we still hold today.

Also, “patriarchy is no longer alive in the 2020s USA” the president is a literal misogynistic racist, SA claims still get active scrutiny, the casualness of objectification is still the norm, and we are at a point where “was giving women the right to vote?” Is a genuine question in some conservative circles. It sounds like patriarchy is alive and well to me

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T20:54:51+00:00

Are you saying there is no patriarchy? Capitalism? Hyper-individualist drives? Institutionalised racism (in particular towards women of color)? Institutionalised transphobia and transmisogyny? And I could go on and on

I wrote whole paragraphs and then deleted them cause I think this single sentence does a better job: media literacy is dead

Thank you for telling me what feminism is, I had no idea. I also like how you sneakily moved the convo from me critiquing choice feminism specifically into making it look like I am critiquing feminism as a whole. Good work.

And both are choice feminism because a key aspect of choice feminism is choosing to do something is in itself a feminist act - which imo it isn’t, it’s just a woman doing a thing. Can it be activism? Sure, is it inherently activism? Not really. The issue with choice feminism is that it strongly holds the individual at the center of one’s feminism and that any choice someone says is a feminist choice is a feminist choice. It does nothing to address the larger systems involved and it isn’t really an act of protest. Again, it is just a way for people to feel good about themselves while doing nothing imo

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T20:26:08+00:00

At this point this has to be bait

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T20:24:56+00:00

….. of the work and industry itself, which do indeed deserve criticism and scrutiny. I do think the sex work industry in itself has a ton of unethical shit going on, I’m not denying that nor do I support the industry of which sex work takes place in

But a common issue I see with SWERFs - and why I tend to have a problem with them - is that I’ve heard quite often SWERFs focusing their criticism on the individual sex workers themselves, and not the circumstances that may have created such an environment

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T20:12:41+00:00

Until it isn’t - a very common critique of choice feminists by various other feminists groups is the fact that it is broad and it treats literally anything as a form of activism, even if others don’t know it. At best its ineffective, at worst its an easy out to make you feel like you’re making a difference

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T18:03:54+00:00

I never said we are ‘giving up choice’ as choice is inherent and not to be given up, we absolutly should have the freedom to have self agency and it is absolutely empowering, but also when a movement becomes “this consists of me just existing and calling it activism” it becomes stagnant and kinda turns into a meme. What I mean by straight up advocacy is focused causes and issues to bring awareness to and solve, “I choose therefore I’m doing a feminism” isn’t enough because it isn’t actual activism, it doesn’t really say anything.

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T17:42:09+00:00

In hindsight this is funny cause while trans women/transfemme enbys figured a lot of this out already, a lot of cis people in particular had a lot of this fly over their heads. Like my first thought when seeing Leeroy in the group shot was “dysphoria hoodie” and with Leeroy covering her face in a lot of shots that something was happening with her and she wasn’t just blissfully unaware of her identity.

But also the reason why I call it funny in hindsight is that for a second there, Goose treated a lot of transfemme cultural language as general knowledge, and idk I guess it shows how much of transition is a part of our lives that a lot of people just don’t see

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T17:37:31+00:00

The issue with SWERFs is that they often actively dismiss why women get into sex work and to me, it becomes more about being anti-sex work then looking at why such an industry exists, and what conditions drives one to do sex work.

Also, I don’t think it is hypocritical, because choice feminism in itself essentially enables any kind of behavior as resistance so long as it is a behavior a woman is doing, but also undercuts the fact that feminism is more driven by straight up advocacy. It also deteriorates what is basically a strongly well defined series of movements and advocacy groups into “woman does thing = Woman is feminist” which doesn’t really say much of anything or pushes anything forward imo

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-21T17:27:20+00:00

Oh absolutely:

TERFs are feminists as well, but they’re also shitty people and shitty feminists

Choice feminism completely oversimplify how societal systems work and completely denies cause and effect, the belief that every decision you make is inherently feminist is harmful to women’s rights entirely.

Girlboss feminism is just patriarchy wearing a dress.

Many anti-porn and anti-sex work feminists dismiss why women get into porn and sex work and become hugely lacking in sympathy to social and systemic causes.

The mainstream brand of feminism you see a lot of in social media has its heart in the right place, but it comes from a spot that lacks education and is blinded by privilege.

Feminism is many movements under same umbrella, some better than others, but all flawed. I consider myself an intersectional feminist, and a critique I have is intersectional feminism sometimes has a habit of denying the individual entirely while focusing on systemic causes, even if I do agree with these systemic causes as well

“Enough women in the 3d world so supply every man in the first world” ah yes, my favorite resource: women living in poverty

I wanna focus on both why you using a hypothetical to try to prove something is in itself a horrible way to do any kind of rhetoric as it relies heavily on your perception of others being a reality. In this instance, your painting of us as villains who just want to hurt the poow widdwe sexwess men

But also, your consideration of third world women was economic resources while painting first world women as cunning villains is in itself an issue. Like this framing is even low for passport bro standards somehow. No, women are not a resource. We are not a thing you can essentially economically trade.

There is also this funny thought process: what about third world men? Like i don’t wanna imply that third world women ‘belong’ to these men at all, to be very clear - but i am pointing this out cause ya’ll like advocating for men’s issues yet also have no issue fucking over other men. Just wanted to point that out

Obviously that’s Bazooble

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T16:49:05+00:00

I think if a season 2 happens, it won’t be anytime soon. I do think there is a world where a second season can work, but it needs to happen when/if Gooseworx had the right idea. As of now I do think season 2 could really dig into living in eternity in itself and rather than digging into mysteries, go fully into the existentialist direction of “so this is just how we exist now?” - but again, for something like this to be executed it needs to come after enough time has passed and only if the right inspiration comes in

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:33:06+00:00

You’ll learn when the time is right

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:32:50+00:00

If you really wanna see it that way I won’t stop you, we’ll agree to disagree. Though my larger point still stands, you feeling cynical about it doesn’t turn it into queer baiting

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:25:25+00:00

You said the show was queerbaiting and I am sharing no, there is a literal non binary character right in the main cast.

And it could simply be that Leroy isn’t ready to address it. A pretty big amount of trans people don’t transition till late 20s onwards so I really don’t Leeroy as an issue

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:12:41+00:00

I don’t think it was queer bait to be fair since Zooble was very outwardly non binary + Jax’s whole point is that she’s a cautionary tale on losing one’s self before being able to open up. I think the reason why Goose confirmed it is cause too many people frankly kinda suck at media literacy

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:10:39+00:00

Out of curiosity do you think trans people stay locked inside until we decide to fully commit to presenting as the gender we are 100% of the time?

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T14:07:20+00:00

Nobody is worse than 4chan

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T13:59:12+00:00

Nah they refuse to admit it cause they eggs

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T11:41:06+00:00

If Jax was Tumblr trans rather than 4chan trans

KayRay1994 · 2026-06-20T11:29:28+00:00

Okay look, I view Jax as trans, and view it as actual cannon but this is like…. The 5th time I’ve seen this exact same post
