Anonymous asked:

what about steven universe? i heard the show has good themes but the fandom has a bad reputation

smokestarrules answered:

Steven Universe is a prime example of a brilliantly queer show that is unfortunately held to impossibly high standards by a very large amount of people. The show itself is good. Really, really good. The character development is off the charts and it’s a show based on something simple but incredibly necessary; kindness.

The worldbuilding is done extremely well, the characters are amazing, the easy transition from episodic storytelling to a more plot-driven story is really good, and I can guarantee there will be at least one episode that makes you want to cry.

Also, nearly all the songs are bangers.

steven universe is the best modern cartoon straight up

Corset discourse really likes to talk in sensationalizing absolutes but historically speaking a corset is just a kind of garment. They could be uncomfortable and painful or they could be well fitted and supportive. They could be hyper-fashionable or they could be brutally practical. You could tightlace them or you could wear them with no reduction whatsoever. Most corsets were probably somewhere in the middle. Like bras. Or shoes. To say they were never perceived as restrictive or used as tools of enforcing dangerous/misogynistic beauty standards is like saying women's shoes never restrict freedom of movement. Patently untrue, but that doesn't mean those shoes have some deeper moral good or evil and it certainly doesn't mean we can use that fact to draw sweeping generalizations about the relationships of entire centuries of women to their own bodies. Corsets, like all clothing, exist in context.

Refuting the "corsets were evil torture devices and vain shallow women were forcing themselves to lace themselves down to x inches so they could attract a man" narrative was never about saying "corsets are a universal good, actually". It's about considering more fully the variety of ways clothing shaped and was shaped by its culture, and affording the women of the past the dignity of agency and interiority

Mario creepypasta fundamentally doesn't work because you know what Mario would actually do if we saw some dimension-warping hundred-handed cosmic horror? He wouldn't lose his mind; he'd take one look at that Shin Megami Tensei looking fucker, pull out his dorky little mushroom-shaped cell phone, hit the fourth number down on his contact list, and go "hey, Kirby, I think-a one-a your boys got lost".

"Or he'd just fight it himself" no, he would not, for two reasons:

  1. This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of Mario's central plot structure. Mario always gets his ass beat in his initial encounter with an outside context problem, then spends the bulk of the game going around gathering allies and kicking the legs out from under the outside context problem's support structure.
  2. This sort of thing clearly falls into another protagonist's idiom, and Mario is a union man – he's not going to scab on Kirby. Perish the thought!

"I don't think Kirby gets paid for this."

"That's-a not what I said."
