The thought of an evil space lord being resurrected and the first thing he does is possess you and slowly eat away your memories is cringe. Do better.

A Balenciaga ad.
People in the comments were saying people who are uncomfortable with this are reaching and are the actual perverts here. I don't know, maybe my brain is just fried from all the internet usage, but for some reason it feels weird to see this advertisement, the design, the pose made by a company that is practically known for... Uhm. Unconventional depiction of children.

i think this covers all the truly wild stuff well enough. i have a brand of autism which makes me need to see people talk about the things i like all the time and i see a lot of media illiteracy wins and just bizarre ideas in the process. enjoy

i think a really easy way to describe one of the most important media literacy skills is being able to tell the difference between What Happens In The Story and What The Story Is About.
using SU as my example bc it was the first thing that comes to mind and bc the nonsense around it is one of the worst examples of this i've ever seen.
What Happens In The Diamonds Plot: alien war. Pink Diamond rebels against the other Diamonds because she realized the entire world view she'd been taught was wrong. her son comes back to the other Diamonds with a new perspective and helps them learn how they were wrong, and how to change their ways and start fixing their mistakes.
What The Diamonds Plot Is About: a member of a toxic family leaves because she realized the entire world view she'd been taught was wrong. her son comes back to the family with a new perspective and helps them learn how they were wrong, and how to change their ways and start fixing their mistakes. simultaneously, there's a rather clear metaphor for trans-ness in there as well.
see the difference?
"redeeming" the Diamonds is not about redeeming dictators or war criminals, it's about a family reconciling and individuals honoring a loved one by changing their behavior.
and if someone can't see the distinction, no matter what story is being told and no matter how it's being told, they're going to, at best, not get as much out of the story as they could have, and at worst, fundamentally misunderstand what's being said and come to wildly incorrect conclusions about the story/creator.
obviously, there's not always a significant divide between What Happens and What It's About, but when there is, it's so important to be able to understand that.
idk, just something i've been thinking about a lot again lately.

I crawl out of my lurker corner to ramble into the void because- because the general consensus on Phee’s introduction appears to be that she gets her defenses up because Hunter calls her trustworthiness into question, but that isn’t quite true - that that interaction happened and that she gets her defenses up is true, but it’s not actually our introduction to her- it’s not her first response, not her first words.
Her first words are “Better late than dead, I always say.”
There is no defensiveness here, she’s not making a quip, it’s not a witty one-liner: her mouth is downturned, her eyes are distant, she’s looking into her cup and not at the room - she speaks those words with grief.
And then she looks up and speaks with levity, with a hint of teasing - like she’s preparing to share her own secrets in the hopes of connecting with theirs. Like she’s hoping to find a group of people with whom she can build a form of comradery. And then it all goes south, due to Cid sharing a secret that wasn’t hers, and also the mention of the word pirate? Anyway. Maybe Cid was hoping that they would hit it off, that they would be able to help each other find that ‘future’ she brings up to convince the Batch to go to Serenno. Maybe she was actually trying to do something good, before the empire arrived and she did what everyone warned them she would do(the irony of not trusting the pirate who ends up helping them in lieu of sort-of trusting the cantina owner who ends up betraying them). Who knows. It ends up working in the end, despite the rocky start - but the rockiness wasn’t really the start, at least not for Phee. Am I the only one who thinks that? Have I missed someone else bringing this up?
There is so much here that I cannot unpack because I’m typing this at work but aaaaagh!
Anyway, I retreat back to my lurker corner with the serious hope that we get to see more of (and learn more about) Phee in season 3.
