in reply to @SamKeeper's post:
is that image from star trek or is it That Actor in a completely different context. either way im reading this just for him
fucked up true facts: I haven't actually seen the show this is from which I guess was like a "are these stories true or false" kinda deal. it's sort of become a meme and felt like the right vibe for the article. (the contents of which have nothing to do with this guy)
"Is there not political or at the very least moral and aesthetic value in being the sand in someone's cunt?" good shit.
also as someone currently battling with my internal "fandom discourse is coming for you" voice due to the story project ive currently gotten back to obsessing over, bringing up the way advertisers and the awful puritanical state of fandom are (probably) related feels pretty timely
yeah it feels at minimum a LITTLE suspicious to me that there's this deep puritanical streak in fandom suddenly as fandom is being incorporated in the normal economic functioning of large idea landlords. of course, it could just be that we're all being psyop'd by right wing hate sites infiltrating us too.
which, I mean, hey great case study here of exactly how the paranoid theory sort of grows continuously! ANYTHING could be a psyop! still trying to figure out the line between this having useful explanatory power, and just being a distraction to the main work we should be doing as it were.
