And the problem is not even the corporate wokeism (although it’s feels about as insincere as all of the current corporate wokewashing) it’s just… bad writing. “Lifeless” is absolutely on point as a description for the sequels. It felt like they only existed to yank my nostalgia while at the same time trying to do so with less thought and love poured into them. Plastic, lifeless, sanitized, insincere, corporate profit driven nostalgia-fodder CAN NOT compare to simply good writing, actors with chemistry and sincerity.

I watched 7, suffered through 8 and didn’t even care about watching 9. Yes, I am nostalgic, but that’s precisely what the sequels were created to evoke. But just nostalgia isn’t enough!

Like you, I really enjoyed most of the spin-offs. They had a story to tell and they had direction, believable characters and did not feel like just trying to yank my nostalgia for the original trilogy. I mean… they DID yank my nostalgia, but then they went above and beyond that and told interesting stories.

That kind of violence is really the exception to the rule. Mainly because the movement is anything but centralised, anyone and everyone can be part of it and declare themselves antifascist. And of course the corpo media is more interested in and reports on the things that make us look bad and get them clicks.

I did write an entire essay here, but then it occurred to me that this is rather not the place and it felt… self-congratulatory, so I’ll just say:

Most of the work antifascist actions do is small and quiet but imho more important than the black block.

Oh I am cognizant of the fact that not necessarily skin-color is the fulcrum of real, existing medieval racism (it’s rather a different kind of racism/culturalism and it does declare for example jews and muslims to be subhumans (source)) but I’m talking completely RPG-worlds here, with all their baggage and misunderstandings.

I go completely cosplay in those worlds, hell yeah, xenophobia is part of the lore and it’s fun to flip your usual behavior to let off some steam in a safe and gratifying way. I’ll play the “Xeno-Scum!” screaming commissar as well as the medieval knight who thinks black people are naturally inferior. But every fucking time, there’s some asshole in the fandom whose damaged brain thinks this somehow translates into acceptable behavior IRL.

No dude! How do the huge black, red and straight out Antifa-Flag hanging in the playroom, the dozens of stickers everywhere showing a fist destroying a swastika and the fotos from demonstrations showing us with the local democratic-socialist youth not give it away? Our clubhouse is not a safe place for fascists to be in!

Yes! Did you know that they can’t hear their own mating calls?

Because I hear these people make the masks don’t work argument

The thing is that they hear doctors say “Masks don’t reliably protect against disease” and go “masks don’t work”, but what the doctors say is “they aren’t 100% reliable, so don’t use it as the only method of protection”.

But if wearing a mask vs not wearing a mask lowers your risk of infection by 50%, that’s a huge deal! And with the way infections spread, that’s millions of prevented points of infection.

The heat is literally produced by oxidizing (burning) carbon that you then breathe out as carbondioxide.

As of right now we’d only have to quarantine the US… just like we might do in November

Torches! Torches and Pitchforks! Get your Pitchforks at the Pitchfork Emporium!

For every two Pitchforks sold you get a free torch! And not those silly tikki-torches either!

You could think about emigrating. We’d love to brain drain the US… more.

Wait… is that a reference to the original Watchmen comic?

🤤

Oh god… I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting “that’s a Jägerschnitzel” and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.

Nyeah… partly.

If that were entirely true, a “power bottom” would make no sense.

The terms sexual usage originated in gay circles where it only delineates who penetrates and who gets penetrated. Traditional views on sex ascribe a submissive or passive role to the bottom and an active or dominating role to the top, but you can totally have a power bottom who takes control and an active role in the intercourse but is the one getting penetrated.

Yes, Granny would be stumped by the lack of good hard boots, but she’s also all about practicality and those sneakers look well worn, and practical for the climate. Also there’s good, hard rock underfoot, you can grow good witches on hard rock.

You know who also owns dark clothes, goats and a pointy hat?

Esmeralda “Granny” Weatherwax!

Coincidence? I think not!

Spoiler: It’s a humorous text

But it’s… well it’s something…

If I’m elected president, I will…

[…]

Bring on Donald Trump as my apprentice. When my presidential term is complete and he has obtained his black belt, or whichever comes first, he can buy the White House and of course rename it (to, what else, “The Trump House”).

Create new immigration legislation: to deport all liberals (then force them to listen to Bill O’ Reilly every day for five years, at which point they may return).
