  • Superficially it’s not great. A few observations though:

    • This costume is no more revealing than things Emma Frost wears in the comics, it’s basically her thing. Not that this excuses things (comics are misogynistic AF), but it’s not like they took a more modest character and changed her (like Kitty Pryde in a skimpy outfit etc).

    • This is an unlockable outfit her default is way more concealing than anything she has ever worn in comics (and I remember that pissing Chuds off a while back). Still pretty objectifying

    • The Art Director for Marvel Rivals is Dino Ma (far left on picture I confirmed with other sources as the naming order is wrong in the tweet), now I don’t know for certain Dino designed Emma Frost, but it’s a small studio. I don’t know Dino’s gender or sexuality and shouldn’t speculate. But they have queer vibes from my impressions. I also from years of hanging out on NSFW tumblr and twitter have a good sense for when an artist is drawing objectification (cishet) versus objectification (queer) and this tickles my six sense slightly, entirely vibes based towards the latter.

    • There’s an online meme that Emma Frost is trans (positive) that some writers have leant into over the years. From memory there’s a story about how a young Brunette Emma Frost has a blonde brother named Christian who is sent to a conversion camp for being gay and is never seen again. Both sort of connecting the mutant as a metaphor for queerness, but also a theory is that Emma was that blonde boy and wasn’t gay but actually straight trans woman (the Brunette Emma being a sibling or an invented person). A trans woman dressing like this would be “Mother” as the kids say

    • Uh…she could make me worse.


  • Milo Edwards has this bit about how foot fetish guys have the worst PR for what is kind of a mild fetish and it’s so bad you can’t compliment or massage a foot without being suspected.

    I’m not a foot fetish person but I’m not anti it. Feet stuff synthesises well with a lot of BDSM which I am into, being stepped on, dismissive foot jobs, tickle torture, worshipping through foot massage etc

    It’s kind of like piss. Not my thing again but I’d do it in a BDSM context because it fits well, being tied and needing to piss, being forced to drink piss, piss waterboarding etc.

    Er do we need CW in an already NSFW thread?






  • They’re like small minority of Christian proto anarchists (no priests no churches, occaisonal communes/intentional communities) who are extreme pacifists, but understand how imperialism, social murder and slavery is violence, constantly acting against it by non violent but radical means.

    A bunch fled the UK to the USA to avoid religious persecution and them immediately got started to get themselves lynched for helping slaves escape and working with first Nations people.

    That said Richard Nixon’s parents were Quakers and he was ostensibly one at some point, but he sort of drifted out of it in college before ever getting disowned (quaker excommunication). But he kept the ascetic aesthetic (Quakers don’t drink or smoke, wear fancy clothes etc)
