28 PLAYS LATER: E3

This week on 28 Plays Later, Paul and I cover stuff from E3 that excites us! Plus, I share a cunning plan to procure a WiiU, involving the murder of someone who owns a WiiU. I guess that was the whole plan. Thanks to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, our sponsor for this episode — tickets are now available for Back to the Future: Live in Concert! Watch Back to the Future while the MSO performs the score live! Plus a new arrangement from composer Alan Silvestri?! Why don’t I live in Melbourne??

You know what would help shit like this seem less icky? If you had more than one black intern.

In 1904, a 12-year-old J.R.R. Tolkien sent this rebus to a family friend, Father Francis Morgan. What does it say?

Apart from being a big moment, this is also a pretty strange one. It’s strange that a trans woman who, so far, hasn’t done any work in the trans community has been crowned our queen. It’s strange that a trans woman who is famous, rich, white and conservative, four things that do not describe most trans women, is now the face most cis people think of when they hear the word “transgender.” It’s weird that people are saying that famous, rich, white, conservative and conventionally attractive trans woman is humanizing trans people to a whole new group of people. Why didn’t Janet Mock or Laverne Coxdo that for them? Why didn’t CeCe McDonald? Why didn’t Islan Nettles?

If I started seeing these used even half as often as as I see white guys misusing the term “ad hominem”, my blood pressure would be so much lower.

Memorizing this.

If your feminism isn't 

• fat positive
• anti racist
• trans inclusive
• pro choice
• challenging ableism
• or against classism

then who’s it even for?

anyone know who this amazing artist is?

Me: That’s an apostrophe.

Yes

Boom

First of all, you’ll be better off if you stop thinking of attraction in terms of race, and you’ll definitely be way better off if you stop talking about it in those terms.

Look, there’s a certain positive impulse sometimes behind being vocal about your attraction to a group of people who are told constantly by our society that they’re not attractive or valuable, but you should weigh that against the fact that using your own libido as the yardstick for this makes it all about you, rather than the actual people who are shit on by society that you think you’re perhaps helping, so, you know, I’d recommend you just chill.

Listen: everything created today is modern. People always try to front like when examining a historical time period (or even some fake-ass dragon style bullshit set in a time kinda like the Middle Ages) through fiction written in the present day, there’s some requirement that this fiction must accurately reflect the sexist, racist, homophobic past, even though other facts of their fiction might be inaccurate or improbable or whatever.

It’s like, when it’s convenient, people realize that these time periods, settings and situations, are used as a metaphor to tell a story about the human condition. You can focus on, or portray things and events, even tough events, with women, people of color, or LGBTQ people in a way that’s humanizing or not, but getting super focused on “historical accuracy” only when bigotry is on the line is bullshit.

So yeah, please, make the world you want, and tell it the way you please. First, it’ll definitely be no more revisionist or self serving than the histories written by white dudes that have been passed down through the ages, and second, you’re not talking to people in the 1920s, you’re talking to an audience now.

It’s their music.
