this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny

last night my partner held a somber little passover seder to show me what it’s about and when they got to the part where they were supposed to open the door for elijah they paused, frowned, and said “oh. huh. there is a clown.” and I looked out. and sure enough. there was a clown.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, some of the debug functions in the game's code provide the player with a bizarre version of the game's roster that is almost fully unlocked but contains two differences: -it is always in Japanese even if the game itself is another version -Luigi is absent.

Such a version of the roster is not normally possible during regular gameplay as the only way to unlock Mr. Game & Watch is to unlock every other character first, including Luigi. This is likely related to the fact that when a save file is first started, Pikachu is in the place Luigi eventually occupies, and is then moved down when Luigi is unlocked. Some part of this process may have been not yet implemented, or have been broken, when this debug menu was programmed.

every day there is some future fucking lib congressional staffer in my notes saying "sure what biden is doing now is bad but if Trump were in office he'd be doing X" and then biden does X the next day

people tend to talk more about the doll iroh gives azula as a spoil of war that directly illustrates iroh’s attitude of colonial paternalism, but there’s something so fascinating to me about how iroh gives zuko a knife that says “made in earth kingdom” on one side and “never give up without a fight” on the other, reducing a call to action, direct resistance through any means necessary, into an abstract, inspirational quote. a weapon that symbolizes the strength of a nation of resist imperialist conquest/colonial occupation is put in the hands of a ten year old who has no way of truly understanding the implications of that slogan. of course, zuko eventually does come to understand, and he does refuse to give up without a fight, as does iroh, but at the time that iroh gives zuko the knife, he is perverting that symbol of revolutionary action & resistance into a colonial artifact, a mere child’s plaything, its blade dulled and its power denied through the act of gifting it to the sheltered prince of the nation against whom they are fighting. yes, zuko has his own fight, and must face his own struggles, and he is largely defined by his persistence, so it’s easy to forget what this knife means within its original cultural context: “made in earth kingdom” isn’t just a dismissive joke, it’s also a grave reminder of who iroh was, what his “gifts” represent, and where they came from.
