posts very much in character

Supernatural is a CW show about two blandly handsome white men who uh…I guess hunt demons or some such thing

the only good memes are blobby memes

^pvmic

Supernatural is a show that takes a lot of plots from Buffy, but is about two very attractive young men that exorcise demons, kill vampires, are targeted by the organized forces of heaven and hell, and they have a cool car, and a buddy who is an angel, but with that Wim Wenders aesthetic

and because i think a lot of the plots are taken from Buffy, one of the two men (they are brothers), has a lot of traits/issues that are feminine, so I enjoy watching it from a genderqueer perspective re Dean (the one they substitute for Buffy in the plots)

itt we answer all questions

oh that's fascinating, I only ever watched the pilot and was like "I cannot get involved in this" xp

xp sunny - It's always sunny also shows up a lot in astrology memes, which are one of my fave meme types

xp silby -- there is apparently a lot of queer "shipping" (?) when it comes to supernatural, and like, it's not that much of a stretch

but i feel like, partly to "compensate" for the feminine qualities of Dean, they give him a lot of trad masculine traits like: fan of classic rock, wears plaid shirts & jeans, really into his car, eats bacon and lots of fast food, drinks shitty beer, easily tempted by attractive women --

I'm pretty sure those are actually lesbian traits

quite

i haven't watched network tv in so long i forgot the cw existed!

Just did a quick google search and I'm glad I didn't waste my time waiting for the femme one on Supernatural to come out. At least Mac turned out to actually be gay.

yes, finally.

I haven't watched This Is America
Should I?

had no idea there was queer subtext in supernatural.

always surprised to notice it is still being made.

only tv show that i ever see being filmed here that i've seen an episode of

fgti, might as well? it has loads of sorta superobvious imagery that was hailed as supergenius when it came out, not a lot of discussion about it these days.

I was at a hotel where a Supernatural convention was taking place a few years back and the fandom... has a demographic

the Supernatural ep where they go to a Supernatural fan convention was p brilliant
the two lead characters are brothers, just fyi (I understand the actors are not)

what is the demographic

the fandom may have aged but it was nearly all women in their late 20s to early 40s

Disrespectful way to talk about women and Limbaugh imo

xp that’s the case for most fandoms. Supernatural is unique for tons of reasons, but the strong conspiracy theory element amount lots of the fans would be up there.

I really enjoyed that "This Is America" video
Donald Glover has an unexpectedly appealing hair/beard/torso combination
The first Childish Gambino I listened to was the Awaken, My Love! album and it was excellent
I understand that he was not excellent for a while prior to that

redbone >>>>>>>> this is america imo

i agree with that but then i'm not sure i like anything else he's done but redbone

bot lh are goodband i ammdrunk

silby i wd fite u but ive met u +<3

posts very much in cups

Glover is maybe my son's favourite artist and he is otm also I'm drunk

take one down pass it around

tbf community had a very strong nerd following along the lines of "the it crowd" and spawned a gazillion memes itself.
i kinda hate it, but that's neither here nor there

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses)

ok derail, i never really saw "the it crowd" but the guy who created it is a transphobic piece of shit? i mean did this just come out of nowhere or what? all i know about that guy is that brian eno had a cameo on "father ted". did the guy who made that show just go insane? i know that's a pretty common thing these days.

had no idea; those of in the US got it secondhand through streaming services and memes

it was one of the most-watched non-doctor who shows among nerdy friends

I missed most of it other than a few clips and recognizing actors from Nathan Barley because of my particular brand of nerdism

most-watched british shows in the usa, I mean

Linehan has always been a massive, massive cunt & Guinness world record holder for Most Thin-Skinned Man on Twitter, but seems to have flipped a new nutbag switch in the last year, in re fighting with his irl acquaintances and pretending to be his own assistant posting for him when he “quits” twitter, instead of just posting again six hours later

because he’s so extremely online that he thinks that’s a huge break

I have, thankfully, missed all that

I remember seeing the occasional funny shared thing when he first joined twitter but he’s somehow completely devoted to this weird crusade against people he doesn’t even try to understand

I didn't really understand all the ins and outs of gamergate but he posted about that all the time.

and again I don't see many of his tweets but I've definitely seen him amplifying trans voices (in a seemingly positive way)? Twitter sucks tho so who knows

It feels like he started out with a half-arsed comment then turned it into a full crusade cos he can't bear to be criticised but I don't care, I hope he dies soon.

He did/does have cancer I believe

God doing God's work then

glinner's monomaniacal crusade against trans activists has included campaigning to get mermaids (a charity offering advice for kids w/ gender dysphoria & their parents) defunded, which is what provoked prominent leftwing youtube gaming folk hero hbomberguy to run a marathon donkey kong 64 stream to raise money for them

a p definitive take on glinner comes up in this interview between hbomb and ash sarkar about that stream: https://novaramedia.com/2019/01/23/donkey-kong-is-beautiful-ash-meets-hbomberguy/

for less nuance consult this video in which hbomb calls glinner a pissboy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIM-GKRS9Vk

His official dumb stance is "I've nothing against trans ppl but women are right to want (cis) female only spaces LEGITIMATE CONCERNS"

Don't really see how bursting into cis women's space mumsnet to launch a campaign asking the govt to defund a charity that helps families with trans kids fits into that tho.

I assume it's like how Dawkins didn't start out racist but stumbled into it quickly and easily because he's right Goddammit and how dare you tell him he's not

AKA the curse of Twitter

Yeah but you need the will to be a scumbag in the first place

Yes, t's just surprising quite how many people have such a will.
