Sorry, I meant *should not have to*

like, come on.

unreal.

someone saying, "interacting with this media that features queer characters made me more explicitly aware of how hetero dynamics impact my life, and that's been real food for thought" would feel different than "wow, these stories about other marginalized ppl are groovy escapism for me."

i'm not sure if this would make sense, although it does in my brain. But IMAGINE any other group of marginalized people saying that about whoever is oppressing them, especially when the characters you are saying it about are also oppressed by the same forces (in this case, the patriarchy)

yeah, me too. sad and angry both. there is something so upsetting about it.

the wooooooorst

omg!

(for those of you who do not know, strike is labor-initiated work stoppage, while lockout is employer/owner-initiated work stoppage)

I don't think they'll strike. I think they will just refuse and make the owners continue to be the bad guys.

Yeah, listen I am not saying it's cheap, but it includes these things, which is also a pretty significant expense!
