you WISH your favorite ttrpg podcast got named best mecha anime of the 2020 by a crunchyroll article where the cast members described their indulgent spin off anime wishes and then when the sequel season rolled around they built up to it by playing out all of them. you wish!
I want to say that cannibalism as a metaphor for desire can be interesting sometimes I guess under the right circumstances but it irks me when people pretend that that's the only or even best way to use it given that many of the pieces of media I've seen that use cannibalism WELL use it as a metaphor for colonialism/capitalism/abuse/etc rather than any kind of healthy love or sex. but I can't because "I know that many of you are fake fans of cannibalism" sounds completely insane even though it's true
Ok you know what who cares. most deranged pretentious person of all time voice As someone who has been very invested in cannibalism as a metaphor ever since I read titus andronicus at the age of thirteen many of you are ignoring its potential in favour of a very flattened and, I'm sorry to say, very white and middle class interpretation of how cannibalism can be used in literature, to the point where it's kind of blinded many of you to its other uses even when they're terribly obvious. take the terror for instance -- the scenes wherein the mutineer captain murders the friendly inuit and then forces his men to eat each other rather than accepting the help which was readily offered by those indigenous people they had come to colonise could not be more obviously about colonialism. and yet for some reason everyone seems to ignore this dimension in favour of making it about love and sex... curious. I wonder why that might be (⬅️ sarcasm). l + ratio + read the delectable negro by vincent woodard and work by indigenous and leftist writers on cannibalism and colonialism and capitalism + stop assuming that a very versatile metaphor can have only one use + broaden your horizons or die by my blade
labour could and would have achieved this majority without selling out trans people. the country wanted change. they were the only viable option. they just added a sprinkle of hate to appease a nasty minority.
I'm pretty sure we'll see an upswing in the far right in ~5 years time as a result of starmer's milquetoast spinelessness
the timidity of labour policies won’t be able to unfuck 14 years of tory rule, it won’t be able to resolve the housing crisis, resolve declines in standards of living, resolve poverty, resolve homelessness, resolve crumbling local councils, resolve an overburdened NHS
what happens when the ‘safe’ political mainstream struggles to overcome crisis? people get disillusioned, people get swept up by far right rhetoric as an easy lie to swallow instead
I’m pretty sure we’ll see an upswing in the far right in ~5 years time as a result of starmer’s milquetoast spinelessness
it's routinely and insanely depressing how many people even on here can't even pretend that they view sexual assault accusations as anything other than salacious gossip or some kind of morality i-told-you-so for smug bystanders. honestly kys
