I am now unironically racist against whites. This was the last straw.
No, it’s impossible to be racist against white people in Amerikan society.
Edit: clarified.
Oh like can you make fun of white people and hate white culture? Yes, death to bleach demons.
It’s just not possible to be racist against them because of how racism works systemically.
That’s why banning cracker as a “slur” is bullshit and also, ironically, racist itself.
The goal of mayocide is to create a society where racism against whites is not only possible but mandatory. In this essay I will...
On the bright side, there's a 3 in 4 chance that this cake will explode and kill everyone in the room

Congratulations, it's Harley Quinn! Run, piggie, run!
The Harley Quinn animated show is actually pretty based. Definitely worth the watch.
Oh it's entirely the only good modern capeshit imo!! And not just because it has good takes about cops (beyond this, some of the characters live in an apartment building whose street number is a clearly visible 1312, and all of the cops are incompetent assholes except for The One Good Cop(tm) who gets suspended/fired and/or quits).
It's also the only capeshit I know of that is narratively interesting and original, featuring nonlinear storytelling, an unreliable narrator, and occasional 4th-wall breaks. (Capeshit fans hated all of this, because non-formulaic capeshit demands too much critical thinking from them I guess?)
Its also the only capeshit that I know of that isn't male gaze-y — you can actually tell it was directed by a woman, especially if you compare the camerawork from its scenes to scenes from Suicide Squad, but also in the way that scenes like
spoiler/cw misogyny, assault
the one where the villain is humiliating a woman in his club by making her stand on a table and making her boyfriend cut her dress off of her while she sobs. The way the scene is shot, we mostly get the terror on her face and other camera angles that put us in her position and sympathize with her, rather than observing or getting actual shots of her standing there nude with her dress in tatters like I guarantee you'd see if this was a scene in any other capeshit.
It's also really fun how it picks apart some of the tropes from other capeshit and previous movies featuring Harley Quinn — things like commenting derisively on some skimpy costume pieces from Suicide Squad.
Really, as far as capeshit goes, it's 10/10 — campy, fun, queer, doesn't take itself too seriously, decent politics, actually treats women like people.
Edit: can't believe I forgot to mention that the stunt coordinators worked on John Wick, so all the action scenes are legitimately great
all the action scenes are legitimately great
The choreo was really good. Totally over the top but in a way that looked fluid and at least possible, in the way you would want a "super" person to be.
Yeah! IMO a big part of that was that the choreographers really focused on having Harley and the other women fight dudes much bigger than them in a way that would actually work (like relying on speed, agility, and gravity — using their opponents' size against them) which gave them way more opportunities to be creative versus your generic "cgi of a super strong dude punches other dude through a building" fight choreo
I turned it off during the scene where they were torturing some random family. I hate it when movies decide to just have some casual rape or torture to break up the silliness and... I actually don't know why the fuck they do that. They could just not.
I'm not going to judge the great Harley Quinn here, but I am going to point out they make 40mm buckshot rounds if you really want to do some redecorating.

“I know it’s unusual, but Q-bert is a family name. My great great grandfathermother was Q-bert the first.”
Apparently there was a incident with a snake and an apple and we were all asked to leave the restaurant.
Which name is supposed to be feminine and which one is supposed to be a masculine?
Fuck it, gender neutral names but only because you had a stroke while filling out the birth certificate
I like both of those things.
New idea:
Anti-TERF bullets that release body glitter upon impact with a target.
Yes, but it's because the glitter is made of little slivers of glass that get in to your lungs and cause respirator cancer thirty years later.
But the kill rate is like 100%.
a lonely death by suicide or a long lifetime of existing for the consumption of others???
little Kayden or little Caidyn
I can't even tell which is supposed to be which. Neither of those are even real names.
nuh uh there was a Star Wars character named Kaidan or something. I think actually there were several...
I like the implication that it's the spelling which makes it masculine or feminine even though both are pronounced the same way.
