Glad someone mentioned the amazing Star Trek episode about trans issues that was about ten years ahead of its time.I really like Claire in Questionable Content.
Gren and Ed from Cowboy Beebop.
The J'naii in The Next Generation did a fantastic job of turning the concept on it's head.
OH! And the whole Cultureverse by Iain M Banks where Gender and physical bodies have little meaning or relevance.
Man. I really love how Hayden and Phil really are becoming a "how not to run this type of business" guide for me. It's so easy to not make these kinds of fuck ups and yet I can watch the results from my comfy chair while sipping a hard cider.
Cheers!
Hayden just didnt research his market.
Anything or anyone that represents LGBT and manages to make itself popular with the mainstream will be made into an uncle tom by tumblr.
Acceptance and respectability is something no tumblrite wants as it gets in the way of being a special snowflake. A shows primary revenue stream is merchandise and ad time. Your not gonna have much luck selling over priced t-shirts and pop figures to a bunch of basement dwellers who spend most of their life ebegging so they can donate to other ebeggers or whatever the next diversity scam after this is.
Equally you cant really sell ad time by yelling fuck the CIS, fuck commercialisation and fuck the patriarchy.
All true, but in addition, it's worth remembering that the golden rule of pandering to someone for cash is to make sure they have any.There's no profit to be had from courting the Tumblr/SJW crowd. It either blows up you in your face, loses you lots of money, or both. For example:
Ghostbusters [current year]: Heavily marketed itself toward the feminist crowd, starring plain-to-ugly women in baggy clothing, and insisted that anyone who didn't like it or watch it has a woman-hating rape addict. Got blasted out of the water by Suicide Squad, a film featuring a hot woman in skimpy clothing. Sony is taking $70 hit so that Paul Feig could enjoy his fetish of getting humiliated by women.
Sunset: A wannabe "Gone Home" game that gave $40,000 to Leigh "My blood is 150 proof" Alexander to shill it to the SJW circlejerk. It bombs so hard, the game development company went down in flames, cursing Leigh and video games as the company dissolved into ash.
Marvel: Put out comics starring Angela where the villain is a woman-hating strawman that spewed stuff like "[unsolicited opinions on Israel???]". (Yes, seriously). Got canned soon after for shit sales.
Steven Universe: It actually does well, and isn't exclusively catered to SJWs, but the Tumblr population has tried to co-opt it hard. Recently these "fans" have declared that show's creator (a bisexual woman dating a black man) and her staff (mostly non-white and female) are "problematic", "sexists" (wut?), "racists" (double wut?), "homophobes" (triple wut?), and even "child molesters" (holy shit these Tumblr kiddies are fucking R-Tards) because the creators told these fucktards to stop harassing a teenage girl to suicide because she drew a fat character as thin, and more recently because a new character was punished for trying to "kill her oppressors". Because the true moral of Steven Universe is to kill 'em all, apparently.
Oh, hi! You're back! People here do frequently reference other cows; check the linked post, which is okay without context.
It's probably better if you don't know.
And are you worried about Hayden paying less attention to Gen Zed now?
@JulieRei, "training for races"? Do you run?
Yea. RunDisney gave me motivation and start physically testing myself. So far I've done 4 10K + Half Marathon back to back challenges this year with the 5th coming in 2 weeks. I'm also ramping up my training right now to be ready enough to handle the toughest one in January. It's Dopey Challenge. 4 Days - 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon.
I wanna say you guys documented some of my race pictures much earlier in this thread.
I wouldn't think so, this thread is focused on Hayden mostly, you seem fairly cool so likely you slipped under the radar really.
