Like the Defenestration of Jimmy or something. I was imagining some kind of mob of, I don’t know,...

Grandpa: “oh so how is everything?” Me: “well, I graduated with a bachelors in gender, sexuality & women’s studies, and now I’m living and working in the uk!” Grandpa: “what are you doing?” Me: “…bricklaying.”

Let us journey back in time, dear friends, to the benighted days of fucking…I guess 1998? Probably 1998. Maaaaaybe early 1999. Before Google was actually A Thing, and you had to look shit up in real, honest-to-god books. Real, honest-to-god books that were not always as fucking helpful as they could be.

liking a piece of media does not automatically mean you think it is perfect or agree with its creators
even if you are not openly critical of it
because you don’t HAVE to be openly critical of it
there is an enormous difference between being an apologist for something and wanting to dwell on the good parts of a thing you like because it makes you happy, please stop conflating these...
