Updated my #Frankenstein compendium to include my review of del Toro's adaptation. To sum things up: Mia Goth slays in her lovely outfits (and see-thru dress); Jacob Elord is also great. Everything else is pretty mid, and the film feels very Catholic (similar to #TheCrow). Go watch #Wayward.
Nods to Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of Seventh Son (1987). Mia Goth slaying as Elizabeth Lavenza. Justine Moritz from the Bernie Wrightson graphic novel of Frankenstein (1983). The three stars from Mae Martin's Wayward (2025): Toni Collette, Sarah Gadon, and Mae Martin.

"Where in the world could we be? Eee-hee!" My drawing of #Midna and #WolfLink from #TwilightPrincess

My painting of Midna and Wolf Link, standing before a spooky cave. Shrouded by darkness, light and mist, Midna prepares for something mischievous with her "hair hand" (or maybe just doggo pets); as Wolf Link, Darina thrusts a booty of all booties at the viewer, showing the audience one puppy paw. Pupstar Darina posing for my drawing: dressed in white socks and a black top—thrusting that amazing booty at the viewer, her giant girl cock hidden by a long scarred thigh but her balls dangling temptingly between a pale pair of shapely legs. Midna and Wolf Link, from the original Twilight Princess (2005). My review for Darina: Pupstar Darina is that curious case of the "grower" and "shower" (essentially pretty big when flaccid and even bigger when semi-/fully hard, above). Moreover, she's both neurodivergent and into pup play like I am, making her—while certainly not unpleasant to communicate with—someone who has specific communicative needs; i.e., that need to approached and handled with respect and care. Being a dom, though, she's good at communicating them—meaning if she has a particular concern to voice, she'll let you know quickly and directly. At the same time, she'll expect those needs to be understood and vocally acknowledged, in return (a "ten-four" in radio speak). This is hardly unusual in BDSM—insofar as relaying information helps prevent harm—but I did notice that Darina is fairly constant with it; i.e., she doesn't mask. This isn't her being rude, but getting her point across while making sure everyone's satisfied. I certainly was, enjoying myself tremendously while working together. To that, Darina is both incredibly considerate and kind, as well as exceptionally easy on the eyes—a tall, slender enchantment! Please consider supporting her! You won't regret it! source: https://vanderwaardart.com/sex-work/muses/pupstar-darina

New essay. Criticizes Rebecca Watson for being moderately #transphobic; i.e., specifically for "Nancy Drew Syndrome" or acting like a white progressive cop (therefore moderate): versus different minorities harmed by the US government she apologizes for.

Brianna Wu, shown next to Rebecca Watson for comedic purposes. Our exchange + notes. https://nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/11/nancy-drew-syndrome-or-the-curious-case-of-rebecca-watson.html "nerds" tied to capital and state power predate modern fascism, which they historically decayed into [...] And if that seems like a bit of a stretch, Watson—as we'll see—was rather quick to dismiss me, TERF-style, as "unthinking" (on YouTube) and "illiterate" (on Bluesky). And sure, the above snippets point to an admittedly unproductive clash, one had between two vain-if-intelligent women on a public forum. The fact remains, my critique still stands: Watson's ability to spot or handle fascism frankly blows (e.g., me, above, citing her 2024 video, whose own title and deeply problematic premise I clearly dislike/disagree with* [...] *Forget the voting class "choosing" fascism, in 2024. America—having borrowed from the Enlightenment and Cartesian dualism—has always been fascist by design, the ruling class largely aristocrat con men with bourgeois, anti-Democratic schemes; e.g., [...] Non-Compete's "The Dark Truth About America's Founding Fathers" (sharing Michael Parenti's lecture on the American ruling class conceding the Bill of Rights to middle-class American workers, 2025); i.e., "a false rebellion serving the same old moneyed interests" (re: Parenti, 1997) that capital both historically decays into (re: Dutt, 1935) and in many modular ways (re: Eco, 1995). [...]. As a Gothicist, I study how capital/the state decays to camp it; i.e., during ludo-Gothic BDSM through capital/the state's generational trauma, ergo chattelization of nature [...]: "Nature Is Food" (2024) for state hubris under the Capitalocene, pushing devastatingly towards state shift (re: Patel and Moore). To simply say "we chose fascism in 2024," then, is to ignore said history—a disastrously blind strategy enacted by open liberals/those calling themselves "progressives" typically downplaying America's role as a fascist nation the entire time.

But yeah that's how a lot of the transfem and trans women MLs on tumblr want transmasc and trans men dead/not in the community/disbelief in oppression impacting trans men/transmascs differently and a belief in privileged status of trans men no matter what. And this did not even go into the exorsexism ( nbphobia ) and intersexism that community has. Just it's so deeply fascinating and concerning at the same time. Idk I find it interesting. I think there's active radicalization that's ongoing stemming from multiple flawed ideologies. And the result is a lot of people cutting themselves off from other parts of the community. And not every ML hates trans men/transmascs and not every person that hates trans men/transmascs is an ML but there is a concerningly high overlap Me: Okies. I'll make a list of these Rain Frog: Cool! And if you need more to respond to usually if you go into the individual blog search and search "trans men" or "transmascs" you'll find some more essays to respond to. I think a lot of them are acting out of hurt more than anything else, and misplacing blame, but given I've had a few people at this point mention the overlap and some of the isolation techniques, idk seems like there's some radicalization elements going on that I wanted to raise the alert on

#transemasculation exhibit 2/3

cites: nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/09/the-...
(exhibit 6: Source, left: further examples from Rain Frog on the ML, Tumblr-specific insult "transandrobro." Though maybe it appears, elsewhere? Transmisandry certainly does, as do words similar to it that are used by queer folk to divide themselves as much as not; e.g., "trans emasculation" being a word that isn't universally upon, definition or usage; re [from the footnotes to "The Chickens Come Home to Roost: Transphobe Bad Empanada Goes Mask-Off," 2025]: Niche terms describing niche bigotry and oppression can often be disagreed upon; i.e., I don't tend to use "trans emasculation," myself, preferring Barbara Creed's monstrous-feminine—one being a niche academic term from the '90s, the other being grassroots and more recent. But sometimes I use transemasculation because not everyone's a Gothicist. Yet, I do so as a trans woman, not a trans man, wherein the latter may disagree with me using the term, period; e.g., for "trans men erasure" (or so the argument goes). In other words, marginalized in-fighting is a thing (criminogenic conditions) and trans people can be really bitter towards one another in ways that disarm rebellion (re: praxial inertia); i.e., while getting down in the weeds to a toxic, unproductive degree. It's not healthy to have one's entire identity built around mistrusting others, especially comrades in the same zone of oppression (trans people, men or women). Case in point, while writing this piece, someone responded pretty gruffly about my usage of the term. While their accusations and criticism were fair up to a point—and I'm sharing the elements I thought were fair—any language of the oppressed is, unto itself, something to categorize and police by different parties who disagree on smaller points; i.e., while pushing holistically towards the same larger goal (universal liberation, through tactical unity): excerpts from a queerphobic account and from https://nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/09/the-chickens-come-home-to-roost-transphobe-bad-empanada.html#_ftn1 Note (9/5/2025): This essay was given to me by someone—a trans man, specifically—who took offense with my usage of the word "trans emasculation"; i.e., a term I was citing after having been given the link by a trans man (my best friend and fellow activist—Ginger, above). The writer of this piece took the time to write a response to why I was wrong, and given how hard they appear to have worked on it—and how important it is to educate others on bigotry and ignorance (which they reminded me multiple times)—I've decided to share what they wrote, here, while keeping their identity private. Given they also appeared concerned by what exactly I would say or me paraphrasing them/summarizing their words incorrectly, I've decided to just share the whole thing. Almost. There's a portion at the end that is not included—specifically accusations of me being transmisic (guilty of transmisandry). Basically, I wrote, "in a time of unrest when the state wants us dead, trans emasculation alive and well," and cited a Bluesky thread. While I was citing it specifically for this image and how I related to the OP's opinion (read: "I think") as a fellow trans woman the essayist we'll be examining clearly disliked the term, calling me transmisic. [...] The point being, MLs aren't just old straight white guys; the older bigotries endemic to Marxism, Leninism and Marxist-Leninism can bleed into more recent iterations of old ideologies; i.e., a kind of fatal exclusionary nostalgia that continues divide-and-conquer into the present: doing so much how older bigots did but carried out by today's "zoomers" versus yesterday's, either operating classically under chicken-hawk sway [e.g., Mao's cultural revolution and the weaponization of China's 1960s and '70s youth to help dictators/heads of state hold onto power].)

Updates to my Bad Empanada dossier (v1.30)—an addendum that explores marginalized #in-fighting through #token #GenZ and #GenAlpha baby queers using older #Marxist-Leninist #transphobia to police other queer people (on Tumblr):

nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/10/rais...

#freePalestine #transrights 1/3
Capital and state power historically alienate workers to pimp nature as monstrous-feminine, including queer folk. They also recruit from younger queer bodies to do so ("policing the kindergarten," in other words); i.e., Aristotle's "give me a boy until he is seven and I will show you the man"; e.g., like the Khmer Rogue did, weaponizing children to kill adults during Pol Pot's auto-genocidal "Zero Year" (above). To it, no one is immune to propaganda, pro-state or otherwise (re: no monopolies, insofar as praxis is anisotropic and dualistic). Furthermore, both older and younger revolutionaries remain historically-materially out of touch in ways pro-labor activists must holistically reverse, "on the Aegis." Said reversal cannot occur without examining the problem at its core/site of toxicity and transference, meaning from one generation to the next. Beyond millennials and Gen X furthering abjection, I also have examples of Marxist-Leninist transphobia from the current Tumblr side of things; i.e., from the younger Gen Z and Alpha crowd (assembled with the help of a comrade, alias "Rain Frog"): Note: The point in sharing these ostensibly "quaint" snippets lies in how social and material conditions go hand-in-hand, as do technology and discourse overall: through a queer mode thereof married to older dialectical-material theories that—rather than simply die or fade into obscurity—merge and evolve into new disastrous forms; re: Marx' "tradition of all dead generations" [source: Marx' "Eighteenth Brumaire," 1852] made gay and embarrassingly bourgeois, to boot; i.e., favoring state power through marginalized in-fighting among the current-to-next generations of gay youngsters, tragically influenced by old dead straight guys (and living chicken hawks) celebrating state models that frame non-token queerness as "unproductive" (aka "useless eaters" in outright fascist terms). [...]: Rain Frog: Yeah I've been dealing with the intracommunity stuff ( but it's more discussions and preventing radicalizations at this point things kinda suck rn in certain spaces). I do not envy you taking on the moderates at all. …It's mainly the MLs tbh dhsjhdjsjdhdsidhs they're telling all the trans guys to kill themselves. It's some wild shit. Me: woof / been expanding on this a bunch Rain Frog: They’re also trying to detrans us and don't know actual material conditions of different groups. Idk point is I’m very fascinated by the entire thing and so I’m mainly just talking about and boosting one another’s issues. While also ignoring the MLs screaming in the background that trans guys should die. Nice [replying to me]! Idk MLs have always just hurt my head Me: right? they act all enlightened about queer rights... while having no queer friends (or normal friends, tbh) Rain Frog: Yeah and some of them are incredibly popular for the platform and so it just spreads and some people are swooped up in the pseudo intellectualism and the people with the actual lived experiences are going "what the actual fuck" and it breeds animosity where there shouldn't be any Me: Ideally not, yeah. A lot of older sodomy fears from Marx onwards. He and Engels used to call queer people not just sodomites, but also Uranians. Are there any examples of MLs acting this way I could cite? I'd leave your name out of it. I'm just curious of some examples of ML transphobia more broadly Rain Frog: I have most of them blocked, but I'll see! Rain Frog: Unfortunately ml is also an abbreviation for miraculous ladybug lmaoooo gonna try and go about this in an alternate way and url search some of the people in my #extreme evidence tag: my personal tag for if I see somebody suicide baiting or suggesting detransition of somebody else ( obviously not going after kinksters, just people who are using it as a weird form of praxis to punch at trans guys ) and see if they are still around if not I'll ask around since it was a few friends that pointed out "hey isn't it weird that a lot of the people doing this are MLs" Effective strategy! https://www.tumblr.com/molsno/789112938227236864/you-can-go-to-any-transandrocuntboys-blog-and-not https://www.tumblr.com/molsno/799666379580162048/i-already-dont-like-drag-but-the-fact-that https://www.tumblr.com/luxiomahariel/799796109827604480 ml in bio and frequently talked about topic, find a few more people more because this is a concerning pattern of really odd radicalization against trans men spear headed by a lot of radical transfeminists who are also mls (which is one hell of a statement that makes me feel a bit crazy and is why I block frequently and log instances I see on the more extreme side and then can dive in more if needed like rn) Also transandrocuntboy (what I highlighted) is a very derogatory version of the existing insult transandrobro (anybody who believes in, talks about, or theorizes around transandrophobia/transmasc oppression usually regardless of the specific word used):

Updates to my Bad Empanada dossier. Most recently his attempt to reduce #trans + #Indigenous #Communism in the US to "identity narcissism" and #Zionism, but also an "American left": white straight #Soc-Dems defending #GrahamPlatner. As if! 1/2

nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/10/rais...

#freePalestine
[the rest of the post] shows proof of Bad Empanada's bigotries (as well as some censored nudity from the sex work that my friends and I do, deeper in): [...] i.e., a Zionist Quisling trying to have his cake and eat it, too—a white savior/class traitor unironically conflating trans anti-Zionism and its "identity narcissism" to Zionism/the Israeli state, but also comparing trans people and the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island to American apologists defending Nazi mercenary Graham Platner (to whitewash their own asses/the American establishment and electoral politics, below): an "American left" reduced to a giant monolith (on YouTube, no less) that Bad Empanada can grift off, versus not punch down at plenty of activists (an-Com or otherwise, native or not) who not only hate Israel and genocide, but also Platner and those who defend him! Bad Empanada is a giant hypocrite: [top-left] "Ozzie Zionist and Quisling TERF/SWERF who conflates trans anti-Zioinism and Indigenous People with American imperial apologia" [top-right] "BE comparing trans people and their 'identity narcissism' to Zionism:" [bottom-left] "BE academically attacking Indigenous People for their 'identity politics' in bad faith" [left] "BE's opinion of my work (so I must be right)" [sarcasm] (top-left) BE: Spend 5 seconds on this American liberal hugbox and you'll learn to appreciate the coming Trump crackdown. Go to town, Donald. / Post all you want. I'm not the plural systems pup who'll be going to camp. (bottom-left) BE: We need to bring back labor. Me: "This essay, "Slurs Aren't Activism," was written to critique Natalie Wynn, for her liberal Zionism, but also ableist critics like Bad Empanada calling her "narcissist" (affecting myself and my friends; i.e., being trans and/or mentally ill, including having various mental disorders). (top-middle): Bluesky is where you go when you have 15 self diagnosed mental illnesses and want to be in an echo chamber with other people who also have 15 self diagnosed mental illnesses. Me: Bad Empanada, you might as well call my friends and I "useless eaters," at this point. BE: Of course, I legitimately think you should be in the mines. Me: Why? I support Palestine and all areas in the global south exploited by capital. I support ending climate change, capital, the ruling class. But I also think trans women are women and people with disorders are people, furries are human, etc. These aren't mutual exclusive concepts. Rights: "I love Hitler": Leaked messages expose Young Republicans' racist chat / Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape. e.g., (highlighted examples): "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber." "I'm ready to watch people burn now." "Great, I love Hilter." "Stay in the closet f----t." Message at bottom (me, pointing to BE): Puritanical Ozzie expat who uses Nazi rhetoric to enrich himself while punching down at minorities; e.g., disabled people, plural folk, furries, trans people, etc. "'BadEmpanada even up and told me that BDSM doctors aren't real.' Powerful quote. When will he be deplatformed for this?" Notice how that's the only thing he mentions; i.e., because, while it's admittedly rather dumb to say on its face, the other shit is completely indefensible? Bad Empanada not only doesn't have a leg to stand on; he also doesn't have the guts to be openly bigoted on his main account. "One of the most profound academic works of our time." Someone's thin-skinned! This piece - while it contains academic material within - isn't strictly an "essay"; it's a PSA; i.e., one regarding your abusive behavior that, at the same time, functions like a symposium. You know, the conversational side of academia? Ever been? I digress; the entire thing could be written in crayon on toilet paper and you'd still be a hateful bigot hiding behind his own "academic" veneer (and my slutty/nerdy assemblage just as correct). Also, cat go bitey-bite. Bad Empanada being a TERF/SWERF while I'm talking about someone else's racism (and his bigotry, earlier in the feed): https://bsky.app/profile/badempanada.com/post/3m4brwuxgpk2g "You are a dangerous sex pest, so it's ultimately great for everyone else that you are unemployed and just at home all day writing embarrassing blog posts interspersed with porn of yourself no reason that no one reads. Keeps you away from sexually assaulting people."

"Raising Awareness" began as an e-mail to individual content creators on YouTube, but I figured I may as well share this dossier* on my old blog and 18+ website (a more secure means of archiving information than Google Docs). I've also updated and expanded on this post repeatedly from its e-mail form—adding substantial portions from my own Gothic (gay-anarcho) Communist corpus, my friends and I critiquing the Marxist-Leninist approach, specifically its sexist, queerphobic and otherwise exclusionary/reactionary elements that Bad Empanada currently contributes to; i.e., by punching down at me, but also my friends (e.g., my partner Bay Ryan, below). Despite these various renovations, this post retains some of its original epistolary* elements! *Despite the academic elements and desire to teach contained herein, this post isn't really an "essay" like Bad Empanada posits (with a great deal of sarcasm and deflection, below); it's more a PSA that includes academic elements I added over time—to teach my audience mid-PSA, symposium-style! Even then, he still felt threatened enough—by my gay fluffy ass rightfully calling him out publicly for his bullshit—to publicly address it, himself, in bad-faith: "What is a [wo]man? A miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!" / "Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!" "'BadEmpanada even up and told me that BDSM doctors aren't real.' Powerful quote. When will he be deplatformed for this?" Notice how that's the only thing he mentions; i.e., because, while it's admittedly rather dumb to say on its face, the other shit is completely indefensible? Bad Empanada not only doesn't have a leg to stand on; he also doesn't have the guts to be openly bigoted on his main account. "One of the most profound academic works of our time."

You know, the conversational side of academia? Ever been? I digress; the entire thing could be written in crayon on toilet paper and you'd still be a hateful bigot hiding behind his own "academic" veneer (and my slutty/nerdy assemblage just as correct). Also, cat go bitey-bite. First, those who betray are cops, those who rebel rebels (e.g., Satan in Paradise Lost, 1667)—the former framing the latter as "more alien" despite capital alienizing and sexualizing all workers, pimp/whore; re: my PhD thesis argument, "Capitalism sexualizes everything" (source: "Thesis Paragraph," 2023), which occurs per a harmful division of nature (therefore labor) centuries old (and built atop older imperiums): man/woman, but also the modular colocations "straight white colonizer" versus "gay non-white colonized" (the class traitor still being a worker but one who betrays their class interests for the elite—often along cultural and racial lines); i.e., to modular degrees of imbricating persecution language (e.g., blood libel, sodomy/witchcraft accusation and Orientalism; re: "Idle Hands," 2024)—one that treats care work (including sex work) as paradoxically less valuable/more precious: something to discredit and cover up to pimp it, virgin/whore during mirror syndrome (to monopolize the Aegis aka Medusa's mirror shield to "pimp the Gorgon" [and her nudity's testimony to rape as an anti-predation device] by blaming the whore/victim, above). Lucky for us, such traitors do not monopolize such things. To it, the very alien solidarity and intersectional consciousness I speak of (to challenge our pimps) includes Delilah and I but also other people I work with, too; i.e., of differing modular oppressions; e.g., my friend and muse, Clockwork Rhxbynn and her girlfriend Valaroy (both trans): So despite whatever Bad Empanada says, sex is a valid revolutionary weapon, one that ML prudes like him poop their pants about/try to pimp us for using (often against them for acting like pimps to begin with); i.e., "When the Man comes around, show him your Aegis!" (re: "It Began with a Whisper," 2025). [...] Furthermore, power is the poetic ability to reclaim our labor (and the land and sex) from knowing-better creeps like Bad Empanada.

So it's nice to see you critique him. Though I will say, you haven't critiqued the establishment electorate nearly hard enough in the past (re: Joe Biden). Kind of a mixed bag from you, but at least you're not defending Platner, so yay, I guess." Rebecca: "Uh I have always been extremely critical of Joe Biden so that's very strange to hear."

Also included an an-Com critique of Marxist-Leninism; i.e., from Marx and Engels to Lenin, Stalin, Mao: citations from Patel and Moore's A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (2017) regarding capital-state (American/Soviet) exploitation of care work/sex work:

lcparty.org/library/2021...
from Patel and Moore's A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things: Figure 1. William Blake, Europe, Supported by Africa and America, 1796. Source: Stedman 1796, 394. […] reproductive labor [is] the work of caring for, nurturing, and raising human communities. Such work is overwhelmingly unpaid because it makes the whole system of wage work possible. Without unpaid work, especially care work*, wage work would simply be too expensive [emphasis, me …] But when we talk of reproductive labor under capitalism, we're referring to a very specific set of arrangements, ones that were rearranged through world ecology and persist today. Under these arrangements, some humans were confined to new political, social, and ecological units—households—the better to engage in care work in capitalism's ecology. Call this the Great Domestication. […] Just as Spanish colonists had bridled at Mayan sexual adventures, so the British demanded allegiance to their own version of sexual order and power, one that created the legal category of woman and set her in the household, the workshop of reproductive labor. But, of course, to use the term workshop is to mischaracterize how housework was viewed. It was considered precisely beyond the domain of wage work, a favor that women did for men, akin to the free gifts that nature offered enterprise. […] *Ergo sex work, I argue; i.e., the whore and her exploitation (during the pimp's revenge) that requires said workers to rebel; re: in ways that reverse abjection, ergo profit and labor exploitation of nature as monstrous-feminine more broadly (the whore's revenge): the home vs the homewrecker upon which said home (ergo the state) is built. re: https://lcparty.org/library/2021-01-10-10-04-52/175-a-history-of-the-world-in-seven-cheap-thin-raj-patel-jason-w-moore/file Mao surrounded by young Chinese women, the sort that he would exploit sexually: "Many of the women that Mao slept with were daughters of poor peasants who Li said believed that sleeping with the chairman was the greatest experience of their life. Mao was happiest and most satisfied when he had several young women simultaneously sharing his bed, and he encouraged his sexual partners to introduce him to others. He often told the young women to read the Taoist sex manual 'The Plain Girl's Secret Way,' in preparation for their trysts" (source: The Private Life of Chairman Mao [1994] by Dr. Li Zhisui; cited: "Mao's Private Life," 2016). (exhibit 3: Artist, top-far-left: Liu Chunhua; top-mid-left: Jacques Louis David; bottom-left: Chen Yanning; top-right: Bungie; bottom-right: William Blake. City or nation, state revolutionaries [and their poppy-red sanguine] historically decay into tyranny—from Caesar to Vlad Dracul [the dragon a symbol of status, sex and power] to Napoleon to George Washington to Mao—both in and out of fiction, with "purely" fictional additions [e.g., Shakespeare's "historical" play and its famous line: "Et tu, Brutae?"] actually gigantic "vampire hauntologies" that bear a non-fictional stamp; e.g., Balor the Leveler [and his own "dragon's" red cape of power, top-right] built on top of stories of stories of stories; i.e., the narrative of the crypt; re: from Hogle's "The Restless Labyrinth: Cryptonymy in the Gothic Novel" [1980]. However cryptomimetic these seem, they nonetheless bear a kernel of truth [as all vampires do]: dictators suck. Stemming from and venerated by city-states to nation-states in ways that historically-materially decay due to the fallibility of men and corruptibility of the structures propping them up—they're what Marx would describe as "the tradition of all dead generations [that] weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living"; i.e., while history repeats first in tragedy, then in farce [source: Marx' "Eighteenth Brumaire," 1852].

My drawing of Vera Dominus as Nabooru from Ocarina of Time (1998): mooning the audience with a crazy arch while a solar eclipse blacks out the sun. Dark Link's chilling on his horse in the background, and Nabooru seems undeterred by the sandstorm all around her. My commissioned reference for the Nabooru drawing: Vera Dominus arching her booty and wearing black thigh-high legwarmers and not much else!. She has big-ol' earrings, several tattoos, cute little tattoos, and a booty of the gods. A galaxy-themed room divider hands overhead. The classic concept art for Nabooru from Ocarina of Time. Vera's review, on my website (https://vanderwaardart.com/sex-work/muses/vera-dominus): 'Vera is a self-described "soft pleasure domme," one who offers pre-made content on OnlyFans and Fansly, but also her NO PVV premium Telegram. Customs and sexting are available upon request, and having sexted with her—and coming from someone who loves gentle mommy/femme dommes—Vera excels at that kind of service; she’s a stone-cold fox with an amazing ass and loveable boyish appearance, but also is hella sweet, and makes awesome content with her husband (re: Telegram). To it, playing with her made me feel very safe, but also heard; i.e., as she and I worked together for my book series! Well worth your money and time!'

But basically Bad Empanada's doing straight-up #incel shit at this point: 3/3
https://nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/10/raising-awareness-regarding-bad-empanada-and-his-fascist-behaviors.html This post appeals to any who wish to help raise awareness about Bad Empanada and his abusive behaviors, online; i.e., his reactionary fascist behavior kettling trans sex workers like a sad little freak, despite him claiming to be an activist who cares about helping minorities by preventing genocide. [...] As we proceed, please keep in mind that—yes, Bad Empanada might call himself this or that—and he'll certainly call me plenty of things while telling you not to read my work; e.g., "sex pest," "creep," useless eater," etc; i.e., despite my being a rape victim ("Going Mask Off: Showing Jadis' Face," 2025) and being someone who actively advocates for sex worker/minority rights, and sex education to prevent rape* in my community and around the world; e.g., my partner Bay Ryan is Maori, disabled, furry and trans—the very sorts of people that Bad Empanada called "useless eaters" when I rose to their defense (source skeet, Bad Empanada: October 2nd, 2025). In truth, he's kind of an incel (above), fascist and Zionist; i.e., punching down at trans, anti-Zionist and anti-fascist sex workers like myself (and other minorities; see: below). He's a TERF and a SWERF and if you scratch a SWERF, a fascist (ergo rape apologist) bleeds: *Meaning (from my definition) "to disempower someone or somewhere—a person, culture, or place—in order to harm them," generally through fetishizing and alienizing acts or circumstances/socio-material conditions that target the mind, body and/or spirit) […] Rape can be of the mind, spirit, body and/or culture—the land or things tied to it during genocide, etc; it can be individual and/or on a mass scale" (source: "Psychosexual Martyrdom," 2024).

Further evidence of BE being bigoted towards GNC but also Indigenous People 2/3
Bad Empanada being bigoted towards GNC people, comparing gender-non-conformity to: "It's extremely Israeli to just focus this insanely hard on an innate identity to the point it's your username and every comment you make can be boiled down to 'I have the special identity and they don't.'" from the comments, here: https://youtu.be/9RDJtsHxojQ 'as an Indigenous (Cree, yes I can get more specific but it's a tiny nation so it would be a little TOO specific for comfort) person in Canada who, like many others, finds "Indigenous" a bit stilted and awkward to use in a casual context and so when a particular nation doesn't apply, prefers "native" or basically anything aside from "Indian" unless it's in a VERY specific context, what turned me off the LAST time I stopped watching BE a couple years ago was, among other things, him DYING on the hill that "Indian" was the "correct" term for natives/indigenous people in the US and Canada and basically calling anyone who disagreed an idiot. There were a few other reasons I stopped watching that I can't remember, but I started watching again on and off last year when he starts showing up on my timelines/algorithms again. And guess what? He pulls the SAME DAMN THING. In fact I think this gets lost in the chaos, as indigenous issues always do, but that was originally where the latest discourse/controversy started with BE after the PhilosophyTube video. BE jumped on people criticizing PT for using "Indian" in a context that most (aware) people living in Canada and the US would know is inappropriate. Then he chooses to DIE ON THAT HILL. Again. Plenty of Americans were trying to correct him and every time, he'd pull the "I'm not listening to Americans that's like saying you need to listen to Israelis about Zionism" and when you had actual Indigenous people weighing in he'd go off about "identity politics" and how trying to use "identity politics" made any native's point moot. All the while he kept pointing to one academic paper that did a poll on the preferred term, as he MISINTERPRETED the paper he was pointing to. And then he argued with anyone who A. pointed out how fucked up it is to talk over Indigenous lived experiences by slapping an academic paper down and B. the fact he was MISINTERPRETING THE RESULTS...' From an e-mail to Second Thought, Hakim and Yugopnik: 'My name's Persephone van der Waard and I'm reaching out to ask you to stop supporting Bad Empanada, who is fascist towards people such as myself and my friends. [...] I'm a trans an-Com activist, academic and sex worker, but also author of multiple books [...] Returning to the matter at hand, I am currently reaching out to you regarding Bad Empanada; i.e., someone who has been "crashing out," in recent months. In short, he's been exhibiting fascist tendencies towards trans people, as well as plural, furry and Indigenous folk, among others. [...] In light of this mounting evidence (and BE's flagrant bigotry and hypocrisy), it looks incredibly bad for you and for Socialism as a whole that you continue to endorse his work, and makes me question your motives; i.e., supporting fascists =/= tactical unity, my dudes; e.g., Bad Empanada calling for slave labor against his critics and labeling minorities "useless eaters" (see: evidence, below). In a show of good faith, I would ask that you quit plugging his stuff (e.g., in your video, "The Fire Will Cease (Ft. Bad Empanada) - Episode 166"): [...] I would also ask that you publicly address these matters, as I know they've been brought to your attention before (on your subreddit before it was taken down). Please don't continue supporting BE, because he's straight-up grifting at this point. full image and alt-text for red font @: https://nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/10/raising-awareness-regarding-bad-empanada-and-his-fascist-behaviors.html An e-mail I wrote in February 2024 to Bad Empanada after he devalued Aaron Bushnell's martyrdom. He never responded.

https://nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/10/raising-awareness-regarding-bad-empanada-and-his-fascist-behaviors.html CW: racism, genocide and fascism; fatphobia, ableism, rape, transphobia, medical abuse, whorephobia, and police brutality; some censored, fig-lead-style images of nudity tied to my sex work and activism with others I may have shared this, here, already. However, I've put together/expanded a dossier of evidence on Bad Empanada not just being extremely bigoted towards me, but also my friends. The thing is, I'm trans, a sex worker and a rape victim, and he's wrongly accused me of being a sex pest/guilty of assaulting others; he's done the same with my friends/partners, calling us "sick," "degenerate," "useless eaters," etc, while sending his fans after us (re: disabled people, furries, Indigenous folk, sex workers and/or GNC people, etc). It's real Nazi, incel-level shit, and I wanted to share it here. I don't mean to overshare, and I've double-censored an already-censored image, fig-leaf-style, of myself doing sex work (an artistic nude), just to illustrate that I do while respecting everyone's boundaries. Frankly it's hard to get anyone to take me seriously when I am what I am (trans) and do what I do (activism, academia, anti-fascism and sex work). Even more discouraging is seeing larger channels continue to support him in light of his obvious crash-out and growing all-too-comfortable punching down at myself, my partners and my business associates. Bad Empanada being a SWERF: https://bsky.app/profile/badempanada.com/post/3m47tcxgess2i my reply: https://bsky.app/profile/vanderwaardart.bsky.social/post/3m47wsrnkes2q Bad Empanada being a TERF/SWERF while I'm talking about someone else's racism (and his bigotry, earlier in the feed): https://bsky.app/profile/badempanada.com/post/3m4brwuxgpk2g "You are a dangerous sex pest, so it's ultimately great for everyone else that you are unemployed and just at home all day writing embarrassing blog posts interspersed with porn of yourself no reason that no one reads. Keeps you away from sexually assaulting people." (top-left) BE: Spend 5 seconds on this American liberal hugbox and you'll learn to appreciate the coming Trump crackdown. Go to town, Donald. / Post all you want. I'm not the plural systems pup who'll be going to camp. (bottom-left) BE: We need to bring back labor. Me: "This essay, "Slurs Aren't Activism," was written to critique Natalie Wynn, for her liberal Zionism, but also ableist critics like Bad Empanada calling her "narcissist" (affecting myself and my friends; i.e., being trans and/or mentally ill, including having various mental disorders). (top-middle): Bluesky is where you go when you have 15 self diagnosed mental illnesses and want to be in an echo chamber with other people who also have 15 self diagnosed mental illnesses. Me: Bad Empanada, you might as well call my friends and I "useless eaters," at this point. BE: Of course, I legitimately think you should be in the mines. Me: Why? I support Palestine and all areas in the global south exploited by capital. I support ending climate change, capital, the ruling class. But I also think trans women are women and people with disorders are people, furries are human, etc. These aren't mutual exclusive concepts. Rights: "I love Hitler": Leaked messages expose Young Republicans' racist chat / Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape. e.g., (highlighted examples): "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber." "I'm ready to watch people burn now." "Great, I love Hilter." "Stay in the closet f----t." Message at bottom (me, pointing to BE): Puritanical Ozzie expat who uses Nazi rhetoric to enrich himself while punching down at minorities; e.g., disabled people, plural folk, furries, trans people, etc.

"Together in our finest form..." My drawing—of the tragic Green Prince and his gay ghost lover! Drawn for my #Silksong Symposium: nicksmovieinsights.com/2025/09/silk...

The models: @transguytyler.bsky.social and his husband.

Read their review: vanderwaardart.com/sex-work/mus...

Happy #Halloween!
My drawing of Tyler and his husband. Glowing candle light flanks the Green Prince as he gives his lover a giant glowing load. My idea for their drawing (originally explained to Tyler by me): in-game, the Green Prince has a lover that the evil queen turns into a mechanical pair of dancers, the "duo" being a copy of the lover dancing with his beloved, the aforementioned prince. When you free the prince from his cell, he discovers you have killed his beloved--or rather, that you've set them free from the queen's technological "spell" of replication and undeath (the prison of a doll's body forced to dance forever inside her mechanical halls). With my drawing of you and your husband, I thought I'd have a happier ending to their story than "bury your gays": the prince and his lover reunited, the lover returned to his natural form and the pair boning massively. The gender of the lover is "he," in game, so I thought that would work with you being a trans guy and your husband being the dashing Green Prince. The reference image from a sex tape I commissioned Tyler and his husband for: Tyler on his back, spreading his legs while his husband goes in and out with that big beautiful cock. Tyler has on dark lipstick and eyeliner, and sports multiple piercings (face and nipples). The scene from Silksong I am illustrating (without Hornet cockblocking our doomed lovers): "You who dare trespass this sacred chamber, ready yourself... to see is, and know us, Verdania's rulers, together in our finest form..."

"While my website is designed to promote other sex workers, Josey can help you set up your own; i.e., doing so at an incredibly affordable price." 2/2
From the review, itself: We live in Gothic times; it's easy to feel alone and afraid, surrounded by mighty foes who mean us harm. To anyone who needs saviors like Josey in your corner, she offers a discount through word-of-mouth. That means if you've worked with me before (or this is your first time visiting my site), and are in need of added security like that which I just described, Josey's your girl. She's smart, careful and considerate, not just willing but able to help regarding that which for many sex workers might otherwise seem far-fetched, even impossible. While my website is designed to promote other sex workers, Josey can help you set up your own; i.e., doing so at an incredibly affordable price. So while my domains cost roughly $30 a year and Josey's hosting service (through her variable discounts) cost $30 a month, that cost would be the same through a giant company. Josey's a person who's there and willing to help with a variety of services; i.e., ranging from SEO and data management to personal and professional hosting to project management and all that entails! She not only works with sex workers all around the world; she also has a small team of developers, infrastructure and administration, not to mention they partner with FireMane Studios for all your graphic design needs, too! And if all that isn't enough, her site features a bevy of case studies and testimonials, too! [...] So what are you waiting for? Give Josey a try and tell her Persephone sent you!

A review of my security specialist:

Josey and Love Sudo helped me secure/archive my work. She specializes in helping vulnerable workers seeking protection from political violence—often sex workers (having been one, herself). 1/2

A photo of my savior, "my own personal Jesus Christ" holding a rubber ducky. A screencap of her website/company, Love Sudo. The thumbs-up computer kid meme, a roaring endorsement for Josey and her own exemplary work. My butt, which Josey saved.
