The ace community is also notoriously white & racist. It completely ignores the nonconsensual sexualization of non-white bodies. The role that colonisation has played in creating a completely separate sexual history for its victims, including forced asexuality and forced sexuality. How non-white ppl are viewed as inherently sexual from even a young age—barred from being seen as innocent, pure, and nonsexual in a way that white people can without repercussion. Locked into hypersexualised standards, fetishisation, and even desexualisation that erases their ace experiences.

White aces ignore their privilege in this discourse, and even listening to one group of non-white aces is different from another—there is no homogenous experience. It’s different for native aces, black aces, (non-white) Latinx aces, Asian aces, etc. There is a way to be ace besides being white & ace. There is a way to be ace besides being white & ace.

This shit is getting too real. Why isn’t anyone raising concerns?

there are so many jews on this website who have been “raising concerns” about growing antisemitism. don’t act like no one is saying anything about this just because you aren’t listening to us.

another thing to muse upon: if imposwtor Revan was supposed to be light side then please explain to me how he is supposed to be dark side and get worse in Shadow of Revan

Spoilery info from Wookipedia: “the torture that he experienced at the hands of the Emperor had splintered Revan’s mind, and though part of him attempted to become one with the Force, the rest rejected death and clung to life, embracing the dark side.”

Which…doesn’t really make any sense.

okay can we just one last thing

spreading the idea that one is only triggered when having a full blown, system-shut-down panic attack is damaging and delegitimizing to people who have physiologically and emotionally different reactions to triggers.

like slow burning, long lasting unease and fear.

that’s a trigger reaction too.

please stop.

I NEED EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT THEIR GODDAMN DASHBOARD TONIGHT TO KNOW THAT IN THE ORIGINAL LEGEND, PART OF THE REASON ROBIN HOOD LOVED MAID MARIAN IS THAT SHE WAS OUT ADVENTURING, DRESSED AS A MAN, AND BESTED HIM IN COMBAT

AND THEN JOINED HIS MERRY MEN

ROBIN HOOD HAD NO EQUAL WITH A SWORD EXCEPT FOR MAID GODDAMN MARIAN

AND IF THAT ISN’T THE MOST BADASS THING YOU’VE HEARD TODAY I DON’T WANNA FUCK WITH YOU

this is some bioware romance shit

Anyone who wants a more active Marian might enjoy The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley, in which Marian is the actually archery whiz (and Robin only became an outlaw because of the weird luck of aiming for a guy’s leg, missing, and hitting him in the heart). I don’t remember how active she is in the book, exactly, as it’s been…nearly a decade since I read it. There’s also another woman in Robin’s band in this version who disguised herself as a lad and ran away to avoid being married against her wishes. She and Little John end up together.

Inquisitor Brahda Cadash.

Finished my first Inquisition run today. 63ish hours, and lol, no, I did not explore All the Things, because I would hit places where I had a dire need for plot/more convos with my peeps.

It probably would also have felt more solid if either of Brahda’s girlfriends had been romanceable by her in game.
