There's this one infamous fic that takes the A/o dynamic and flips the power structure. Same biology but culturally Alphas are considered sex-crazed brutes that can't be trusted and are discriminated against accordingly. It was pretty interesting but alas, unfinished.

There's an interesting trend in good ABO fics, the one where the point is to use the construct to really explore the culture of sexism, where the author never finishes because they get to depressed with the whole thing. Or worse, they have been kind of writing towards a happy ending but ultimately don't think the…

To protest the threat of being kicked out, people were reportedly singing "Do You Hear the People Sing" from Les Miserables and holding up the three-fingered salute from The Hunger Games.

I am amazed because it was like a million degrees that day and she's wearing a trench coat, gloves, hat and covered in thick gray paint. Fandom knows no bounds.

My daughter in the green coat. <3

Homestuck, that's it. Her and her friends are obsessed. She's spent a week sewing a pair of gray tights into glove/arm things so she doesn't have to paint them gray anymore. She literally sewed it around each finger by hand and then hot glued yellow nails on the tips. She's also hand painted all of her shirts, dyed…

IT IS NOT. NOT AT ALL. Not safe for work, home, car, airport or anywhere except the bowels of hell.

I don't think I care about anything in my real life as much as these people care about fictitious things.

Yeah, that was me over the weekend when I was digging through all of the posts on DashCon.

• Can You Knot: Exploring the Omegaverse (18+): A growing subset within fandoms! Topics such as gender roles, gendered language, and the six gender system will be discussed among many other topics.

Sakurai like Oprah throwing out new characters for EVERYONE!!! YOU GET A NEW CHARACTER AND YOU GET A NEW CHARACTER AND YOU GET A NEW CHARACTER!!!!!

Wait, Male AND Female Robin? Think of all that extra time and money they must have spent coding that!

F"CK YES LUCINA! WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS!

Oh, this brings back good memories. Look what you've started.

The issue here is power dynamics. The judge specifically is applying his views on one to his views on the other. Even if I granted you that incest could actually be consensual (and I might debate on that), the issue is that due to the previous sexual abuse by the defendant, it's hard to imagine any future sexual…

I actually find this to be an entirely confusing sign, because it relies on you knowing that males have square torsos and females have octagonal torsos; the less observant of us might just see the skirt and assume it means female. It makes me wonder if the artist was really high when they designed it. Why wouldn't…

So - it's not like they are taking any bathrooms out of circulation, right? It's just this one is gonna be labeled all genders.

she didn't get the job and wound up marrying a guy 25 yrs her senior and living as a housewife in Connecticut.

I dream of the day when a female character's design is judged solely its narrative support and not whether or not players think she's hot. Women do not exist solely for the pleasure of others, and neither should female characters. I'm not holding my breath.

Except that there are massive portions of art, literary, and film criticisms that deal with how different groups (race, gender, etc) are treated in such creative works. Accepting games as art means not plugging your ears every time a game is critiqued for its representation of a certain social group. Freedom does not…
