mindbleach,

Another of this guy’s vans was a regular feature on /r/SchizophreniaRides. “Only holy ghost filled man.”

mindbleach,

“Calling” is such right-wing horseshit.

You are being labeled as Nazis, based on your behavior. Words mean things.

mindbleach,

Not even I can help you.

mindbleach,

The 1911 Overture.

mindbleach,

You didn’t have to, you just chose to.

Every Florida driver with chrome shit on the back of their car.

mindbleach,

The last valid ruling on this topic remains Roe v. Wade.

This court is illegitimate and should be ignored at all levels.

mindbleach,

He understood propaganda. Just not the fact he was awash in it.

mindbleach,

And model B doesn’t work if it’s oriented the way it’s shown.

mindbleach,

IIRC, Shanks nailed some long-winded nonsense in an early episode, and RDA told him he’d fucked up. ‘Now they know you can do that.’

RDA had a rule of thumb: any line in the script longer than his thumb, he forgot.

Shanks and Tapping were especially annoyed by this because all their lengthy explanations were the first things to get cut for time.

Never seemed to be an issue for Christopher Judge.

mindbleach,

They’ve got 15% market share… but it’s sexy!

mindbleach,

And MGS3 gives you a chance to shoot the third boss before you’ve fought the first boss.

mindbleach,

Fascism is like that.

mindbleach,

I feel the same way about Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I don’t care for it, and I’m not sure I grasp the appeal… but it does get people into Yes.

mindbleach,

Kids, I’m not telling you to play Olias Of Sunhillow, but this gun is.

mindbleach,

Oh man, some of you are in for a journey.

mindbleach,

… not really? Mulan is all about a woman pretending to be a man, which is genuinely distinct from being a transdude. She spends most of the movie in military drag.

If this extremely 2013 Tumblr shitpost has any issues misrepresenting queer people it’s down to nobody acknowledging bisexuality. Which we’re honestly used to.

mindbleach,

Ping tops.

mindbleach,

Not remotely comparable. Mulan is gender-non-conforming. Bridget in Strive is GNC erasure - possibly just to appease Chinese censors.

It’s also the polar opposite of what the character was about. Bridget was already a trans allegory. By virtue of a coin toss, Bridget was assigned female at birth. Nearly every encounter in Midnight Carnival started with getting she/her’d and immediately correcting people. Bridget’s entire storyline was hunting bounties to man up. This was a cute character in a pretty blue dress literally kicking people’s asses to be treated like a dude. The writers going “whoops, nevermind” is not growth!

Now there’s twenty years of forum exchanges going ‘she’s cute!’ ‘do you like surprises?’ that were effusely queer-positive and taught a lot of dudes about the Kinsey scale… but in the absence of a timestamp, would be viewed as outright bigotry. This change was bad, actually. This was possibly the worst character to do this with. Johnny being trans would fit better. Fem-Johnny being a womanizing lesbian who still doesn’t wear a shirt and keeps that jacket closed by sheer force of will would warrant little more than a “huh.” Like how absolutely everyone heard Testament was nonbinary and went, “well, yeah.” The only reason you can casually allude to discourse about Bridget is because there’s a serious underlying discussion about gender in commercial fiction.

Chinese censorship is part of that discussion. China has cracked down on queer representation and “effeminate men” in particular. Strive came out the year China applied those TV and movie restrictions to video games. Strive has patched out mention of regions and countries the CCP doesn’t like to hear about. I’m glad you enjoy where Bridget’s story went, but it probably only happened because of an autocracy keeping its populace narrow-minded.

And yet the worst part is missed opportunity.

We’ve never seen Bridget’s family. They don’t even have names. There is an identical twin out there who could have been a drop-in replacement but happened to be trans-fem - and butch as fuck, because their idiot parents got it completely backwards. We were robbed of the twink icon, and some new short blonde terror.

mindbleach,

The problem with “The Empire did nothing wrong” contrarian gags is that actual fascists fucking love it.

mindbleach,

“In terms of evidence, we have no evidence.”

mindbleach,

But getting hormones is a bitch and a half.

mindbleach,

And the only thing dumber than pointless censorship is half-assing it.

mindbleach,

I only just realized: their logo has intense foreshortening, but the proportions look correct. Wouldn’t that make the top bit twice as long as the sides?

mindbleach,

“People. What a bunch of bastards.”
