my special twist is after the forcefem virus bomb blows up in the villains face, she discovers shes actually straight. this complicates the heros efforts to convince her to not genocide all men, bc if she changes her mind now itll look like shes a bad feminist who abandoned her principles for dick

after doing some cursory research it appears the industry term for this genre is ‘sapphic’

…also, note to self: come up with a different placeholder name, since it turned into an m/f romance while the actual lesbian just suffers and gets blamed for a straight womans crimes against humanity

me: ok, fine, but is anyone going to think a character making lengthy and compelling defenses of launching said virus bomb in order to shatter a system of global hegemonic patriarchal capitalism driving humanity towards self-annihilation means i support the idea?

me: haha i mean come on does firing a virus bomb into the earths atmosphere that turns every man into a woman by dissolving and reforming their bodies chrysalis-style count as ‘global genocide of men’?

publisher: yes!!! that is exactly what that would be!!!!!

kinda crazy how four months ago a guy made an incision from one ear over to the next then peeled my face off, shaved my bones down a few millimeters, and put my face back on

gonna be pissed if earth becomes a stellaris planet with an anomaly about computers screaming an endless cacophony of nonsense messages and images at each other, which leads to an archaeological dig where you discover the inhabitants destroyed the planet in a race to create the most advanced chatbot

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

“the war for the transsexual soul, yes,” mercedes nodded with as much sagely wisdom and gravitas as she could muster, “it has shaped society from the margins for—“

“hey, so were we gonna shop or…?”

“oh shit,” mercedes looked around, “where are we?”

“i dont know, i was following you!”

“well, it doesnt sound fun now!” jennifer groaned as she reeled back with a look of utter betrayal. “jesus christ, every time you tell me about trans stuff i feel like a YA protagonist learning about the soul war thats been waged in the shadows of society for ten thousand years.”

“whats transsexual empire?” jennifers brow arched in curiosity. “it sounds fun.”

“a cis womans girlfriend left her for a trans woman so she wrote mein kampf but for transmisogyny,” mercedes silently cursed herself for not shutting up. she should never have trusted that traitorous tug in her chest.

“you’re gonna love it. its about how trans women can joke about breaking up your marriage while cis women get canceled for describing walls.”

“god, im going to have to apologize to the trans community for creating the author of the next transsexual empire,” mercedes muttered to herself.

“jennifer, please, you have to stop,” she tried to force her face back to neutrality, but she was almost certain the end result only encouraged the other woman.

“stop? im just getting started! look forward to my new york times op-ed next week.”

“your op-ed?”

“its a derogatory term for trans women,” mercedes sighed, wondering if perhaps she shouldnt have opened this line of conversation to begin with.

“what? since when?”

“i dont know, it just is!”

“wow,” jennifer rolled her eyes, “you cant even say ‘brick’ anymore. this is 1984.”

“oh my god, jennifer,” she felt the treacherous corners of her mouth tugging upward.

“oh, sorry, is your dad a pi—err cop or something?”

“no, i mean you cant say ‘brick’!”

“what? why not?” jennifers exasperated expression shifted to deep confusion.

“but youre women, not…” she growled in frustration, “…i dont know, bricks for throwing at cops!”

“jennifer,” mercedes stopped cold, pinching the bridge of her nose as she stifled a smile, “you cant say that.”

“sorry,” she spread her hands wide in apology, “i meant bricks for throwing at pigs.”
