this post brought to you by a telegraph article making the rounds under emphatic declarations of "see? contrary to what the bigots say trans women actually suck at sports so you might as well let them in!"

i want a game of thrones spinoff set in a distant post-industrial future not unlike the world we live in today, almost exclusively because i think it's funny to imagine a young descendant of house stark listening to a westerosi Behind The Bastards podcast about the lannisters

"depiction doesn't equal endorsement" and what if it did? what artist depicting a crime or taboo is more a criminal than the one following their example? who is responsible for the actions of a person but the person who acts?
