When you read literature about being butch and it throws such accurate statements like this at you. I got so much butch joy reading this.

Anyway go read this fantastic essay by Miriam Harrow: Looking Butch Through the Years: Intergenerationality and Gazing in Lesbian Literature and Photography

[incorrect-splatoon]

If we take the Bechdel Test, all splatoon game and dlc pass the test:

Splatoon 1 : The squid sisters broadcast

Splatoon 2 : Off the hook broadcast

Octo expansion : Pearl and Marina regulary exchange.

Splatoon 3 : Squid sister in the story mode are the first to talk together between woman, if you don't count the deep cut broadcast because Big Man is in the conversation.

However, the other ways around (about man representation) The test can fail :

Splatoon 1: Cuttlefish and octavio talk to each others, and talk to agent 3 if you choose a boy.

Splatoon 2: If you choose a girl has agent 4, I believe cuttlefish and octavio don't talk to each other directly, and so the test failed.

Octo expansion: Once again, if you take a woman for agent 8, the only man during the story will be cuttlefish tho, failing the test.

Splatoon 3: Cuttlefish and Mr. Grizz talk during story mode. If neo agent 3 is a boy, big man talk to him.

Having a game that maily have female character is fascinating when you look at the interaction on the other side too.

Nothing hits like finishing the essential dykes to watch out for!!!!!

#s #bechdel #thr complete anticlimax of it all #but more importantly the emotional whiplash of seeing decades pass by in a flash #the weird feeling that simultaneously everything stays more or less the same #(conservative hellscapes and mo complaning about pride getting corporate and relationships coming and going) #and that everything unravels so much #(the slow disastrous disintegration of toni and Clarice's relationship and everyone ceasing to take joy and pride in their queerness #instead arriving at a sort of feustrated mundanity. and jezanna disappearing. and lois not having time to do drag)

I'm going to throw a stone at a hornet's nest and say that the TERFs who like to claim Alison Bechdel as one of their own lack basic reading comprehension—and worse still, they lack shame.

There's an actual, honest-to-goodness, authentic, genuine strip of Dykes to Watch Out For in which Mo gets called out for her transphobia when she whines about sharing a restroom with a trans woman. Moreover, she then becomes the victim of bathroom policing herself, because butch women don't fit the cis-hetero-normative mold. It's all right there in the text, plain as day.

Just because Bechdel is a butch lesbian, and prefers that identity over "trans man" or "nonbinary," doesn't mean that she rejects the theory and rhetoric that produced those labels. That's child logic.

Cherry-picking her work to support their bigotry, just so they can claim lineage from a distinguished queer writer, is not only stupid and easily debunked, but it's deeply insulting. It betrays how little TERFs actually care about LGBTQ rights, feminism, or literature.

Any so-called "radfems" interacting with this post will be blocked—thereby cleaning up the "Alison Bechdel" tag for my browsing, so I don't have to wade through a bunch of bigotry every time I scroll through it. Thank you in advance. ❤️

Nel film devono esserci almeno 2 donne, le donne devono parlare tra di loro e non devono parlare solo di uomini. Queste le 3 regole da rispettare per superare il test Bechdel. TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below] Il Bechdel test ci fa capire quanto importante sia la figura femminile all'interno di un film e, non lo sapevo, l'ho scoperto oggi, viene da un fumetto, un fumetto che è stato fatto dove due donne parlano e una dice all'altra "No, guarda, al cinema vengo solo se il film ha più di due personaggi femminili, se i personaggi femminili parlano tra di loro e se questi due personaggi femminili non parlano di uomini o comunque non solo di uomini". Queste sono le tre caratteristiche per vedere se un film supera il cosiddetto Bechdel test. Quindi la prossima volta che guardati un film a casa, al cinema o anche una serie televisiva osservate un po', quanti personaggi femminili ci sono? Osservate se sono personaggi che hanno anche delle frasi da pronunciare o se sono semplicemente lì per per fare bella figura, e anche se parlano questi personaggi, fate attenzione a capire che tipo di dialoghi hanno, se parlano solo di uomini oppure se parlano di cose anche esterne, non solo della loro femminilità, ma anche di cose pratiche e di quello che sanno fare, di cose tecniche, del loro lavoro, delle loro competenze, delle loro specialità. Il Bechdel test, ci sono dei siti che analizzano un sacco di film che per vedere se rispondono o meno a questi a questi criteri che ripeto sono facilissimi da adattare, però questo Bechdel test si può applicare anche ai videogiochi, perché sempre di più anche nei videogiochi le figure femminili o non ci sono per niente, oppure se esistono hanno dei ruoli ancillari, secondari e comunque non sono dei ruoli che danno molta importanza al gioco. So che esistono delle eccezioni, dico in linea di massima la maggioranza dei giochi. Non solo, ma sono state fatte delle ricerche, sapete che oggi nei videogiochi ci sono moltissimi dialoghi, quasi quanto in un libro, quasi quanto in un film, e una volta che si hanno dei dialoghi con alcuni personaggi, questi ne generano degli altri creano, esistono dei veri e propri diciamo alberi, ramificazioni di dialoghi, e hanno fatto queste ricerche e hanno scoperto che se si parla solo con i personaggi maschili si vince il gioco molto prima e con un punteggio molto più alto, se invece nei giochi che hanno sia personaggi maschili e femminili che parlano, parlando solo ed esclusivamente coi personaggi femminili, si finisce più tardi e con un punteggio molto più basso, quindi si invoglia chi gioca a interloquire solo con i personaggi maschili. Ecco, questo è un messaggio a chi mi ascolta e che fa videogiochi. Dateci personaggi femminili interessanti e che ci facciano vincere i giochi. TRANSLATION The Bechdel test makes us realize how important the female figure is within a movie and, I didn't know, I found out today, it comes from a comic book, a comic book that was made where two women talk and one says to the other, "No, look, I only come to the movies if the movie has more than two female characters, if the female characters talk to each other and if these two female characters don't talk about men or at least not only about men." These are the three characteristics to see if a film passes the so-called Bechdel test. So next time you watch a movie at home, at the cinema or even a TV series watch a little bit, how many female characters are there? Observe whether they are characters who also have phrases to speak or whether they are simply there to make themselves look good, and even if these characters speak, be careful to see what kind of dialogues they have, whether they talk only about men or whether they talk about external things as well, not only about their femininity, but also about practical things and what they can do, technical things, their work, their skills, their specialties. The Bechdel test, there are sites that analyze a lot of movies that to see whether or not they meet these to these criteria that I repeat are very easy to adapt, however this Bechdel test can also be applied to video games, because more and more even in video games the female figures are either not there at all , or if they do exist they have ancillary , secondary roles and in any case they are not roles that give much importance to the game. I know there are exceptions, I say in principle the majority of games. Not only that, but some research has been done, you know in video games today there is a lot of dialogue, almost as much as in a book, almost as much as in a movie, and once you have dialogue with some characters, they generate others create, there are real let's say trees , branches of dialogue, and they did this research and found that if you talk only with male characters you win the game much sooner and with a much higher score, if on the other hand in games that have both male and female characters talking, talking only and exclusively with female characters, you end up later and with a much lower score, so it entices the people who play the game to interject only with male characters. Here, this is a message to those who listen to me and who make video games. Give us interesting and game-winning female characters.

Alison Bechdel in Her Minnesota Apartment, Tom Sweeney, 1990 (photo taken from lesbian archives/ @/butchusband on twitter)

Highlighting this photo specifically because it really shows how Mo from Dykes to Watch Out For has the same exact hair swirl that Bechdel had! Seeing photos of Bechdel with this hairstyle always jump out at me because it looks stunningly similar to her cartooning.

#dtwof #dykes to watch out for #alison bechdel #like Mo being a sort of self insert makes a lot of sense seeing this close to each other #Mo isn't an exact self insert obv but there's definitely a lot of Bechdel in the character #bailey.txt
