Just for fun, I'm gonna go for the long shot and say Mia Moore's movie is gonna be an unexpected breakout hit and it'll be her.

Hell, Thorne's in that movie too so it could even be a twofer

Oh no don't insult our good friend and mentor Joe Biden

Also as a singular fact.

I thought Mau Mau was a name the Bri*ish imposed on Kenyan resistance groups rather than a name they used themselves?

For the "trans internet personality gets blockbuster role" prediction, who we thinking? Abigail Thorne?

Bioware says that despite that reputation, the vast majority of players still played men.

Which is weird to me because the reputation is totally deserved. Granted, Mark Meer was pretty alright by ME3, but still

He was convicted on one charge recently

3 Houses is also interesting in that, like, you can make a solid case that Ingrid is gay but is restricted by her society's expectations for what it means to be a crested noble, especially a woman crested noble. The subtext with Felix and Sylvain is also pretty strong and along the same lines, as with why Gilbert left his family. Then there's Hubert and his devotion to a queer woman who wants to tear down the system causing people to repress like this.

There's a lot of writing just under the surface that has interesting things to say about queerness and what it means to dismantle the systems that suppress it that I wish had been much more explicit.

P3 is also interesting because

spoilerAigis is playersexual, but she's the only one who is, and her romance with the FeMC is heartmeltingly sweet IMO. She and her romance were not originally written with lesbians in mind but the whole "I want you to leave an indelible mark on my memory even knowing this will be harmful to me" thing is just. Gah. It hits for me in a way that playersexual romances normally don't.

I feel the same way. I love Karlach and all but I like my lesbian romances to resonate with my experiences.

I do get why people like playersexuality though because it does often feel like it's that or basically no options. Like in Fire Emblem 3 Houses, I can either have like 20 straight options or 3 lesbian options, one of which isn't available in 2 of 3 (or 3 of 4, depending how you count) routes. My actual preference is characters having actual sexualities with comparable options for all, but failing that I'll take playersexuality

I'm not seeing family today because we're Jewish. But Thanksgiving was hard. I'm the only antizionist in my family, my parents and brother are sympathetic, but the rest of my family are raging zionists- my cousin actually fucking moved to Israel and proudly participated in recruitment propaganda. It was a lot
