“Our Friendship Is Unbreakable!” (The Top Reads “Long Live International Women's Day!”)

there's a lot of reason why I think terfism is a fundamentally nihilistic ideology, but particularly the way it uses genuinely traumatic and oppressive experience as a cudgel just oozes ressentiment

the way you guys treat transmascs is actually fucking disgusting

that's a very unfair accusation, I have many transmasc friends who I treat with only love and kindness :)

#now I'm gonna be pedantic and say that the kids in narnia don't have powers #unless you think being british is a superpower #which c.s. lewis low-key did believe so actually your kind of right

"magical girl" is not just a girl with magical powers, it's a specific genre. magical girl characters need to be from a work within that genre or they can be from a work that doesn't fall into the magical girl genre if the particular character plays on the tropes of the magical girl. think about the definition of "superhero" instead. captain america is a superhero bc he comes from the superhero genre. the crimson chin from the fairly oddparents is a superhero bc his design and behavior draw on the superhero genre. but you would never call the kids from narnia superheroes just bc they save the world using their powers

Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia:

Fascism was the absolute sensation: in a statement at the time of the first pogroms, Goebbels boasted that at least the National Socialists were not boring.

Without the almost irresistible force of the craving for headlines, in which the strangled heart convulsively sought a primeval world, the unspeakable could not have been endured by the spectators or even by the perpetrators. In the course of the war, even news of calamity was finally given full publicity in Germany, and the slow military collapse was not hushed up. Concepts like sadism and masochism no longer suffice. In the mass-society of technical dissemination they are mediated by sensationalism, by comet-like, remote, ultimate newness. It overwhelms a public writhing under shock and oblivious of who has suffered the outrage, itself or others. Compared to its stimulus-value, the content of the shock becomes really irrelevant, as it was ideally in its invocation by poets; it is even possible that the horror savoured by Poe and Baudelaire, when realized by dictators, loses its quality as sensation, burns out. The violent rescuing of all qualities in the new was devoid of quality. Everything can, as the new, divested of itself, become pleasure...
