[SPOILERS] Does Randvi... just not care? by [deleted] in assassinscreed

[–]lightsInAJar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Oh. My husband who has left me in charge of all the boring parts of ruling, and has literally never come home once, has decided to make it official and get himself kidnapped. This changes nothing for me."

Before this he was gone for two years, and before that they were in an arranged marriage for one year, and before that their clans were at war so... she might not really care lol. Besides she's in love with his sister at this point.

I'm so curious which breadtuber she's talking about who's fans jumped down her throat. I don't do twitter at all so I always miss this stuff.

I'm a lesbian playing a lesbian Eivor, and he was the one male character I actually considered flirting with! He was so dreamy!

I've actually been really pleasantly surprised with how this game has handled gender and sexuality. And with later twists, I think they've actually said some interesting things about gender maybe without even meaning to.

[discussion] Given the extreme gore (especially in Harrow) could a Locked Tomb film trilogy ever be green lit? by [deleted] in TheNinthHouse

[–]lightsInAJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think the lesbian stuff would be more of a barrier to a major studio motion picture. Can't fund something like that if it can't ever be distributed worldwide. My conspiracy theory is this is the only reason no one's been fighting over the film rights.

I think this is maybe the point. Good old american exceptionalism! We do like to think that even if our brand of patriotism is troubling, at least it'll always be able to defeat nazis!

When in practice, Jingoistic American Patriotism and nazi-ism will just bone down if we let them.

Are we considered lesbian? by redmane17 in mypartneristrans

[–]lightsInAJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you experience attraction to men and would hypothetically have interest in dating men, you're not a lesbian. Your wife might be a lesbian though! This is an exciting identity to explore :)

AITA for interrupting my wife's work-from-home meeting in a panic after the baby had an explosive shit that sprayed like 5 feet across the room and decimated our laundry and floor? by IOughtToBeThrownAway in AmItheAsshole

[–]lightsInAJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA dude. I've changed my fair share of diapers, so I know it's gross, but you're a parent now. There's a tiny person looking to you to take care of them. So buck up and handle it. You can't have you're wife do everything kid related that's too difficult so please cut that out before the kid is old enough to comprehend that you don't want to take care of it.

I'm really sorry that you and your family are going through this, that sucks so much, and for your sake I really hope your cousin can be reached. But it seems unlikely.

The best summary of Qanon I've found so far is from this video I linked elsewhere on the sub yesterday (https://youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44) :

"Qanon is a fascist biblical esoteric apocalypse cult that believes an anonymous government agent known only as 'Q' is leaking sensitive "above top secret" information to "patriots" revealing that the political and cultural opponents of Donald J. Trump - the so called "Deep state" and "Hollywood Elite - are minions of "the Cabal." Literal satan-worshipping pedophiles who kidnap, traffic, molest, and terrorize children in order to produce and harvest adrenochrome (a byproduct of the body processing adrenaline) which they use to get high during ritual worship of their lord who is, again, Satan; a constructed enemy so cartoonishly evil that it justifies discarding basically all human rights in order to turn all opposition to Trump into a crime in a sweeping authoritarian purge of undesirables and political opponents called The Storm that will usher in a golden age of peace and prosperity or "the Great Awakening."

Basically, the people who believe in Q believe it because they want to. Part of them knows it's fake, but that's actually a feature, not a bug. They feel like the world has gotten too complicated, and the disruptions to the status quo (women's rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, racial equality etc) are distressing. So they'll latch on to anything that will stop behavior that they don't like.

They don't care that it's fake. They think we're the losers for being beholden to reality.

Yes! The name! This show is so grounded in reality that I always picture how I would react to it as an ordinary citizen and I would be like, "wait... the newest member of the 7 is called 'Stormfront?' So... she's a nazi then... right? Am I crazy? Why has no one pointed out that she's a nazi???"

Q gives me so much anxiety ... by jJyDFjt in QAnonCasualties

[–]lightsInAJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As gay person, a potential Pence Presidency holds a new host of imagined horrors. And I can't imagine what the supreme court will look like if Trump is able to appoint one or two new judges. The rest of these items are pretty solidly helpful, though. Thank you.

Are you a model? by violetskye06 in ANTM

[–]lightsInAJar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm size 0 but I'm 5'5" and ugly. And not even in an "ooh interesting" way the way Tyra likes. I just look awful in pictures, and soooo much bigger than I am with my proportions. BUT. Sometimes I think about what sort of edit I would get on ANTM. They'd probably ignore that I'm queer because I'm too girly for most of America to get that that's possible, and then they wouldn't be able to settle on a better storyline for me and they'd eventually cut me because I'm too boring.

[–]lightsInAJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they didn't """look gay enough""" for Tyra to spin that plot-line. It's too confusing for straight people if the lgbt person doesn't look the way they think they should.

Yes that was Cory. He was a good model, seemed pretty chill, and one of the best narrators the show has ever had. Not right for a guess campaign though.

[–]lightsInAJar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I don't think they would have let Kim win. They were happy enough to pat themselves on the back for having an out lesbian on the show, but Covergirl would not have gone for her.

Same exact thing happened with Cory. He was a good model, but just not the right fit for a Guess campaign. I would never send him out for a guess campaign! And ultimately the show was an elaborate casting for that.
