If you as a teen girl are ostracized by your female peers for being "weird" & having nerdy interests, youre not going out to look for "allies" in your male classmates. You're just looking for someone to discuss video games with occasionally so you can make it through high school.
This whole discourse is pissing me off so bad cause everyone's just vaguely defining groups and archetypes of people and then acting like those groups are monolith. Sometimes the nerdy guys are the "safer" option for weird girls. Sometimes theyre not. It all fucking depends!!!!!!
@mclo_Bridger@pastarchive True, could be a horse-person spirit, wild horses lived in Europe during the Ice Age, and a horse is a common animal to be of religious significance, one of the first uses of domestic horses beyond “we eat these” was “we sacrifice these in funerary ceremonies for chiefs”.
@mclo_Bridger@pastarchive I know, I know, but since when do humans draw animalesque mythic figures at their least impressive? Did the Egyptians draw their jackal-gods and lioness-goddesses all patchy with mange?
with the benefit of time its become clear that the lorax is less a parable about environmentalism and actually depicts the dangers of unrestricted tribal immigration motivated by high time preference business strategies displacing natives
@pastarchive The head’s sort of elongated though. I wonder if the artist was used to drawing animals and it was their first stab at illustrating humans.
