Medium high, but it will probably be my uncle who will be wearing a kilt so you can return the favor if you want.

…can you show up at MY wedding dressed as Power Girl?

You're clearly a really smart, motivated person that wants to put good out into the world. That's admirable and rare, and I for one am glad that this stayed productive and positive. I can understand why it was uncomfortable, but sometimes the only way to grow involves growing pains first. ;) Good luck! Feel free to…

If you want to know more about the experiences of marginalized people (which is the first step to empathy and being a good ally) read stuff by Ta-Nehisi Coats, Melissa Harris Perry, follow the FemFreq channel on Twitter or YouTube. Seek out the stories of people who don't look like you, who have experiences other…

Assuming those tweets were about you is a pretty big leap. Hopefully not surprising, but I end up spending a lot of time talking about the industry with a lot of different people, and I'm honestly kind of flabbergasted that you went to my Twitter and decided that was about you. Like, think about that for a second: a…

I do not believe for a hot minute that there is not a poisonous male geek-culture in Belgium. It might present differently, but it is absolutely there, and as you said you are probably just unaware of it. Look at the shock that most people had with all the drama at Angoulême this year, all the people who say that…

Ok, to state it explicitly, I have heard that MTC has become an unsafe space for women and would encourage people to take their business elsewhere.

I didn't disclose precisely what I've heard because the people who reported the bad experience to me have not come public with their story yet, and I do not feel it is my place to "out" them or talk about the events involved. It's fairly common among women in particular but any marginalized group in nerd spaces to…

No, no, never let Kieron Gillen near Marvel ever again please god. Actually just…let him sit in a corner and not write anything.

I have heard some not great things about MTC recently that deeeeffffinitely make me sent people elsewhere.

Octavia Butler, N. K. Jemisin, Janelle Monae (as Shulkie mentioned) has a lot of Afrofuturistic elements to her music. It's a huge genre with a lot of different people contributing to it, kind of like "high fantasy" in that personal taste will influence what you find notable.

Yes, this is perfect. It will make millions of dollars.

That's why I hesitate to use it as an example. Gaiman does a lot of research and is generally very even-handed when writing about things that don't "belong" to him, but I would have VASTLY preferred that a story about why America literally rejects European gods be written by an indigenous person in particular. There…

…I reject this reality and supplant it with my own.

I NEED him to write Namor and let Kris Anka draw it. NEED.

Oh yeah, there's already a bunch of authors cribbing off of Afrofuturism, and as a term it's not even 20 years old. I think a lot of it is focused on reframing SF/F to be more in line with traditions and stories that are decidedly not-white, and it definitely confuses people. I hate to use this example because it's…

I said to Oliver that this first issue of BP was like if Emma Thompson directed an Octavia Butler movie adaptation, and pissed myself off because that's not a real thing that's happening.

Oh man I am drawing a blank on that episode.

Yeah, it's one of those things that the SF/F genre lines get really fuzzy. Like "magic is just science we don't understand yet" stuff and integrating cosmologies and gods into modern, technology based culture.

Shortest answer I can provide: (Usually) science fiction that is written intentionally and explicitly to exclude most western tropes while examining the lives/struggles faced by present-day POC and re-examining history through that same lens.
