Media Piracy Isn’t Inherently Revolutionary, You Weirdos

So weโ€™re in the middle of an organized boycott of Disney products because of their response to government pressure to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Great cool. Kimmelโ€™s back on the air as I write this, so it looks like it might have worked. But honestly, who knows! Yay government overreach! In those exact… Continue reading Media Piracy Isn’t Inherently Revolutionary, You Weirdos

I Don’t Need to Tell You Censorship Laws are Bad, but Do You Realize How Bad They Really Are?

There was this trend of conversation on BookTok for a bit, but outside that I still occasionally see conversations about wanting a book rating system similar to the MPAA or ESRB. I've said in a TikTok before, and I'll say again, "no you don't." Especially not in the current climate when so many books are… Continue reading I Don’t Need to Tell You Censorship Laws are Bad, but Do You Realize How Bad They Really Are?

To Support Queer Artists, You Actually Have to Know Who They Are

A discussion came up in on of my comic subreddits about the Marvel Pride issue coming out this month. There were a lot of good-natured jokes about Dakenโ€™s yassification on the cover and the nature of rainbow capitalism and how they pull these characters out once a year, then place them back on the shelves.… Continue reading To Support Queer Artists, You Actually Have to Know Who They Are

Media is More Fun When You Don’t Waste Time Hating It

Itโ€™s a very weird time to be a Venom fan with the current All-New Venom run. Iโ€™m genuinely enjoying it, curious to see where it goes, and think thereโ€™s some very clever use of language. Two of my favorite symbiotes, Toxin and Sleeper, got some panel time, and thereโ€™s clearly something happening there with SCAR.… Continue reading Media is More Fun When You Don’t Waste Time Hating It
