@4Evil_Resident2 My dream to rectify this is a Plastic Man, Captain Marvel, Ma Hunkel team book that leans into the comedic overtones of each character.

@niggapomni @sickI0ve @Destroyo_ @FlowersSunRain_ @kittinelli Yeah I just saw that and so deleted what I'd said.

@purrfectclover When the study has a sample size of 4

@mpof112 @BustyLoads619 No, it's a tv show he created and wrote and directed in.

@mpof112 @BustyLoads619 Pokerface erasure??

@serketmaxxing @EPM106 Hitler becoming good probably couldn't singlehandedly stop the machinery he'd already set in motion but like for that to be true "Hitler being dead" couldn't stop it either, right?? they're equally reliant on Great Man Theory.

@fortnitebussy1 I mean the particular image is telling, right "Gooseworx acts like a misogynistic man and pictures herself like a dumb bimbo" is like on the nose LOL

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@LizarddFish Yeah as someone who did like the comic and thought it handled the subject matter pretty well it was really disheartening that liking it and a couple pieces of fanart made my twitter algorithm decide I really wanted to see a much of TMRAs LOL. does sour me on the piece a little

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@bomboy70 was just telling a friend how the glimpse of an evil superboy at the start of Miracle Monday, who acts with certainty instead of humility adn thus lets the biases of his upbringing run wild would be like. A killer Ultraman (Ultraboy??)

@Rement987 @UFObuds The fanart, unintentionally or not, reifies parental authority by imagining a happy ending for Ripley must be her *parents* getting her clothes, and deciding she needs therapy, instead of dealing with the fact that for most trans girls, their happiness must subvert that authority

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@Rement987 @UFObuds for trans people in particular, the family is often (usually, even) where we experienced the strongest pressure to conform to cisgender expectations, and the authority used to deny us our autonomy, and this is something the comic is interested in.

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@Rement987 @UFObuds It doesn't just posit a happy ending, it set out to write a happy ending and decided that to do that, it needed to be about accepting parents. Notice how the therapy, the clothes, the speech bubble are all about the parents action!!

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@Rement987 @UFObuds The original comic puts a particular emphasis on how family is the system of oppression that pushed her into such a deep level of dysphoria in the first place, and it didn't start with her father beating her

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@ElioHerondale @iamyomas The argument is in the other direction, that the other heroes were also "street level"

@CrimsonTwatter @00DaniPonie @shadexana6 @fxggxt985 Sorry, no dice, you're starting to feel as unworthy of my time as you think she is of yours.

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@CrimsonTwatter @shadexana6 @00DaniPonie @ToniSmalloni @fxggxt985 Yes, I agree it is a bad idea. You are showing it to me because you think it demonstrates a blue voter is particularly stupid, because it is a worse choice than it was in the original hypothetical. We agree on that and it is the basis of my argument. Maybe you should think first?

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@00DaniPonie @CrimsonTwatter @shadexana6 @ToniSmalloni @fxggxt985 This is not a defense of picking red in the regular scenario because every important detail is different, in particular, that red would have that much unmitigated support.

[Fantasia @FantaJoseph]

@00DaniPonie @CrimsonTwatter @shadexana6 @ToniSmalloni @fxggxt985 If 11 of 20 have already picked red, and everyone sees this, it's trivially easy to achieve the "everyone picks red" ending. By picking blue in that scenario you would be encouraging people who might otherwise have all picked red to pick blue and thus be complicit in their deaths
