The 'hyperspecific situations' polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign' doesn't mean 'non-English' or 'non-American'
"Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?" Yeah I watched the foreign movie "The Martian" with foreign actor Matt Damon

what's so striking to me about younger queer generations rn isn't the lack of knowledge about queer history, but the complete unwillingness to engage with it, when confronted with an identity or history they haven't heard of before they react with disgust rather than curiosity. (for example) instead of asking where the leather pride flag came from and what the leather community is and represents they immediately question the need for something like that to exist, not even willing to listen and learn from both elders and peers. this is also more broadly a problem in leftist spaces in general, being reactionary is somehow the default now, and anything that's different or unknown must be an attack and bad. really hoping y'all manage to grow out of this deeply conservative way of interacting with the world.

no cause some of the shit y'all are saying has me genuinely worried that you don't understand the difference between immigration and SETTLER COLONIALISM. y'all do realize that if jewish people just mass migrated to palestine and lived peacefully among palestinians as neighbors and countrymen, then none of this would be a problem. right? you get that, right? you get that our issue was never "there's too many jews here" but rather "why am i getting kicked out of my house." RIGHT?

Lately I'm being reminded that HotD discourse consists mostly of 'yassss queen slay Rhaenyra' with a smaller side of 'Alicent my queen' and heated arguments about who is the legitimate heir to the throne. Which I think very much misses the point that legitimacy is not A Thing That Exists, it's merely a constructed excuse and justification for whoever has the strongest military power. And focusing the discussion on who is 'right' and who is 'better' and all of that is trying to shoehorn black and white morality on a story that's deliberately avoiding that; and also that the more complex and questionable a character is, the more compelling they are.
Except for Daemon Targaryen. Fuck that little bitch

The discourse about whether Alicent or Rhaenyra is the better mother is so booooring. You guys are being so booooring. Neither of them effectively help prepare their children for the situation and life they're about to inhabit. But you're so up in the team green/team black discourse, that you forget that "is character xy a good mother?" is an incredible uninteresting question to ask
