Consider: the monkey brain/human brain meme but instead it’s feminist brain/lesbian brain
Feminist brain: this character would never realistically fight in that outfit
Lesbian brain: tiddies hot
Feminist brain: gender non confirming women as villains are queercoding and teaching us that being a lesbian / wlw / gnc woman is evil and bad
Lesbian brain: step on me hot evil lady
Feminist brain: That’s right! She doesn’t need a love interest! She’s a fully functional compete human being without a man.
Lesbian brain: She doesn’t need a man because SHE’S A LESBIAN.
someone: are you a boy or a girl?

someone: what’s in your pants?
neville: my mimbulus mimbletonia
I’ve seen several people being like “ummmmmmmmmmm nobody was mad that a cis man playing a pre op trans woman on oitnb” it was literally Laverne’s twin brother who she personally asked to do it so as not to trigger her dysphoria like do you not see how that’s an entirely different situation
And the funny thing is, it apparently was actually a compromise between Laverne and the production. Production didn’t want her to do it so as to not trigger her, while Laverne was absolutely willing to give it a try, because she’s an actress, that’s what she does.
bright! colourful! a victim of apple’s love of the blur tool and gradients but shes doing her best! 3/5
a sturdy boy with a golden horn! a bit plain but otherwise charming! 4/5
this guys a bit of a show off, the kinda guy who shows up to a party uninvited and starts telling you stories of all the princesses hes granted wishes for and then gets mad when you ask him to leave. 1/5
just a simple unicorn trying to get by, soft and kindhearted!! she’ll share her magic with you and not ask for anything back, if you’re lucky she’ll show you were to pick the best berries 5/5
soft and cute but all i want is for them to please stop staring at me 3/5
the kind of unicorn that can only be summoned by gay wizards in the most dire of situations. hes also gay 6/5
a minimalistic and bright pal, their stare might be cold and dead but thats just because theyre planning a really great surprise 4/5
a punk lesbian unicorn, she listens to thrash metal and captures the hearts of every gay horse from here to venus 5/5
this unicorn is perfect in every way. elegant, graceful, ethereal. she’s perfect 10/5
Antoni – The “You don’t drink pickle juice?” scene
Karamo – Calls a hot fireman nothing but “Superman” for an entire episode, but also has healthy conversations about police brutality with a white, Trump-supporting policeman
Bobby – Breaks something in IKEA and runs away
Jonathan – “WHERE’S ALEC BALDWIN? I NEED ALEC BALDWIN! THERE ARE NO PRODUCTS IN HERE!”

Um, it’s better than that actually. Laverne was totally willing to do it because that’s her job as an actress (although it could have triggered dysphoria) but the directors didn’t want to put her through that when she so happened to have a convenient twin brother because like how often do you get that lucky?
So on the one hand you have filmmakers utterly disregarding trans people’s experience and just doing whatever the fuck they want. And on the other hand you have filmmakers being very aware of trans issues and caring so much about a trans woman’s wellbeing that they didn’t want to put her through something potentially triggering when it wasn’t necessary. Big difference.
I figured out a simple guide to the alignment chart last night
Lawful: Rules matter more to me than individuals. Chaotic: Individuals matter more to me than rules.
Good: Other people’s well-being is more important than my own. Evil: My own well-being is more important than other people’s.
Neutrals: My opinion of what is more important is determined on a case-by-case basis.
So a Lawful Good character’s guiding moral philosophy might be “I follow the rules because the rules keep people safe, even if they are sometimes inconvenient or harmful to me or other individuals.” A Chaotic Evil character’s guiding moral philosophy would be like “Screw the rules and screw you.”
This is a very succint way of explaining a long post from a few months ago. It is also kind of how it was originally written, and is what I use. No more “Is he chaotic neutral or chaotic evil” questions.
