Think of your favorite straight character. How do you know that they’re heterosexual?My favorite thing to do in comic book discussions is say “okay, but what does the text actually say?” Because comic book readers are notorious for pulling one panel or one issue out of context and drawing all their conclusions from that. You… Continue reading PRIDE: The Punisher is Textually a (Closet) Bisexual and Your Straight Bias is Making You Miss the Fun
Like any good little queer, probably autistic, sci-fi reader, I dearly love the Murderbot books even if I’m not fully caught up with them (shh, leave me alone). So when the show was announced, I was obviously excited. When I saw that Alexander Skarsgard was the lead I was like “hm.” Not because I don’t… Continue reading PRIDE: MurderBot Isn’t Non-Binary
The Met Gala happened recently. For those unfamiliar, it’s ostensibly a fundraiser for The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that is also a big fashion who-si-whatsit. It began in 1948, and it’s gone through a few iterations to get to the big celebrity blow-out that we’ve come to know. In the age… Continue reading The Met Gala Isn’t The Capitol, and I Need You to Stop

So we’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. Kimmel’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
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?

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 Daken’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
