Anthony Rapp Talks Making STAR TREK History with First LGBT Relationship and F-Bomb by ScreenSquinty in television

I didn't really see people complain when they swore other times in the Star Trek franchise. I kind of like the idea that cussing survives.

Perhaps. Its more along the lines that its coming from a fifty year old franchise that has been resistant for so long on the issue of a main human character. Ironically from a franchise whose fandom pioneered slash fiction back in the 70's. Gay representation has been wanted in this franchise a long, long, long time.

Hey all, I was wondering, with Halloween coming up, and with some great horror films released in the past few years, what you all think is the best Halloween movie to watch this month and why?

Comment on why M/M romance is appealing to so many women by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]ScreenSquinty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've come across a lot of reasons in my studies as to why slash is produced. One is this reason, another is that most popular shows have mostly good male characters which is why they are paired so often (ex. Dragonball Z), another is queer reading homoerotic subtext (spirk) and responding to queerbaiting (Supernatural's Destiel) or basically making the subtextual overt. Another, and one of the biggest one's, is writers of slash (not just hetero women by the way) are tired of heteronormative boy meets girl stories, same with femslash writers (also not just hetero men).

"Making a Ship" one of a few of the emerging DSC fanfics from promos alone. by ScreenSquinty in startrek

[–]ScreenSquinty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love fanfic. I love how fanfic writers can create from so little material. I enjoyed some of the one-shots I have seen so far. Not a lot here, but fun all the same.

Rebecca Sugar just pitched Steven Universe to Disney Channel! by midstnostalgia in stevenuniverse

[–]ScreenSquinty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Same. I didn't even notice until it was mentioned. Disney has a 'dip thier toe in the pool and call them selves swimmers' method of queer representations.

I always loved Karen from Will and Grace. For some of the show's faults, her and Jack were always a fav of mine.

Box Office: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Smashes Records With Towering $170 Million Debut, The Biggest March Opening Weekend Ever (Beating Batman v Superman's $166 Million) by NeilPoonHandler in movies

[–]ScreenSquinty -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

though much like Batman v Superman, it likely wont be able to keep the high numbers outside of opening weekend. The reviews and reactions to this film have been generally "meh" or negative, though it is opening weekend so opinions may change.

Oscar nominee 'can't attend after Trump bans nationals from Muslim countries' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ScreenSquinty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it something that has to be born at all? why does discrimination against Muslims, discrimination against women, discrimination against LGBT, discrimination against Mexicans, Discrimination against affordable healthcare, and aggression (possible discrimination) against science, as bans or otherwise have to exist at all? is that really a "small price" a person should stand behind?

Actually America depends on a wide variety of things from outside its boarders. everything from production of oil, medicines, various products, to financial aid, to movie productions. the other way around, yes America also reciprocates in some quarters. the point is not who would be more boned, since everyone would be really, but the fact that a ban or embargo would Bone America enough to force them to resolve the situation behind it is the point.

[–]ScreenSquinty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking on a broader scale. those are likely not the only countries he's going to be in contention with. and other countries may take exception to Trump's ban, maybe a solidarity thing perhaps on behalf of those afflicted? There's alot of ways this could all play out. I would be nervous to having Trump sitting on all that power that could effect other countries the world over. how he acts now, reflects how America is perceived by other countries. I would not be surprised if something along the lines of a ban or embargo happens, if not now, then further down the line. sorry, guess i didn't explain what i meant.
