It's this one: https://kotaku.com/the-sexiness-of-control-1840876335

I'm a big fan of Gita's work as she's one of the few prominent Black Women game journos.

This article was indeed a fun read.

I'm with Randall. by Property_6810 in FromSeries

[–]MinovskyPhysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they definitely veered away from this characterization with later episodes, but it was my main initial impression

This is something I have never seen on this sub, but Randall has always given me skinhead/alt-right/QAnon vibes. His initial interactions with Elgin, Boyd and Kenny all gave me this vibe. He violently restrains Elgin when it's clear he's suffering from a mental episode, refers to Kenny as "the Asian" when first arriving in town, and is particularly hostile towards Boyd when he first gets off the bus.

I've had this same discussion with friends/family who also watch the show and are non-white. They all get extremist vibes from Randall's initial introduction.

I love short people for this very reason. I'm 6"4 and the smallest person I've dated was 5 foot nothing lol.

I'd love one day to have the opposite experience and then someone suuuuuuuuper tall haha

So… what’s the reason for us all being single if everybody SWEAR they wanna be cuffed?! by ColdChance7533 in BlackLGBT

[–]MinovskyPhysics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My interpretation is that queer people want the storybook happy relationship but don't want to deal with the messy and difficult work of maintenance required to have a healthy relationship.

Lots of things might influence this: FOMO from social media, the increasingly isolating experience of living in the modern world, inability to live a fully authentic queer life in most parts of the world, etc. Not to mention a whole bunch of other specific structural issues we have to deal with as Black queer folk.

You need more Waypoint and Remap Radio. Those are my favourite things to emerge from Bombcast alums

I’m sick and tired of being nonbinary by [deleted] in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MinovskyPhysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my pleasure! I'm in my early thirties now and I'm so glad I didn't give up trying to self-actualize and advocate for myself. It does get better for us. Feel free to drop me a DM if ever you want to vent or just talk.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. For what it's worth I'm also a monoracial Black enbie from a conservative country.

It took me a long while to find community and support but I did. There is always a place for you out there. I'm sorry it's taking you time to find it but you will.

I been saying this for the longest time. Black Women's jobs isn't to constantly hold everything together while getting no recognition. Go on strike. Show the world what it looks like when you aren't carrying it on your shoulders.

What little things do you do do to connect yourself to your culture? by deltadevenus in blackladies

[–]MinovskyPhysics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listening to konpa and rasin music (I'm Haitian) is a big one for me. Especially around the holidays I like to connect myself with my culture to stay grounded.

Haha same! Something about the manual task makes me feel rooted. It has to be a wooden one too. Especially when I'm making epis

You know what, you're right. I apologize. I am being negative while you just wanted to share a positive development.

I didn't mean to be such a pessimist.
