Yknow, that pro-life Zootopia comic is HYSTERICAL because Judy’s out here giving some VERY valid points like
-She’s only a few weeks in, so there is no actual baby yet, just an embryo
-A theoretical hybrid of that sort is bound to have genetic flaws and would likely not be sustainable, and if it did survive to birth, it would likely have a lot of problems
-A rabbit likely could not survive to term carrying babies as large as fox cubs, as bunnies are so tiny in comparison
-As this has never happened before, nobody knows the mortality rate of something like this
-Judy is in a potentially dangerous line of work, and being pregnant would either put her in more danger or put her career on hold for a long time, potentially forever if complications arise
-Nick doesn’t have the right to tell her to put her life in danger for the sake of a pregnancy that would likely end in tragedy, as well as keeping Judy from her dreams
and then you got Nick over there like
…implying that Nick Wilde would not be 100% supportive of his little bunny gf no matter what and would do what he had to do to ensure her safety and happiness
Like in the actual Zootopia movie, he proved himself to care deeply about Judy and her safety, and would put his life on the line for her no matter what. Why would that all change because of an embryo?
Like in the comic when he’s like “premeditated sin”, it just cracks me the fuck up bc like Nick, you used to be a fucking criminal, Aladdin-style with even fewer morals (shown by him exploiting that Fennec fox because of his diminutive stature). You have NO room to talk about “sinning” lmfao!!
It’s sad that the artist has such an accurate and beautiful art style when the storyline is just. shit
Ok but can we talk about how emo, as a genre, defied gender roles in a big way? Like, everything about the culture, from the guys wearing makeup and womens’ skinny jeans, to the way they got unabashedly emotional in spite of the “men aren’t supposed to cry” narrative they’d obviously been socialized with, was just this complete “fuck you” to the idea that there’s a certain way to be a “man”.
And a lot of their detractors called them “girly” or “gay”. And they didn’t give a fuck! Fall Out Boy has a whole song entitled “Gay Is Not A Synonym for Shitty”, which referenced a famous Pete Wentz quote, where he basically said that if you thought his band sucked, to just say it sucked, and not be a “homophobic asshole” about it.
And, then, geez, My Chemical Romance took it a step further, and Gerard Way outright kissed one of his bandmates at concerts purely to infuriate homophobes who were at his shows.
A lot of these bands were openly for LGBT rights, for womens’ rights. I remember one instance where some band MCR was touring with asked women to flash their tits in exchange for backstage passes. And Gerard was so horrified by this, and told his female fans to “spit in the faces” of misogynists in the rock scene.
Like, god, these bands were so progressive. And they still are. Right after the Pulse tragedy, Brendon Urie literally danced around in a pride flag and told his queer fans what they meant to him. Pete Wentz said that “Uma Thurman” was meant to show his female fans that they could be “badass”, too. And Gerard pretty much admitted in an interview to somewhat identifying with the label “nonbinary”.
That’s the most lasting impact that emo is going to have. Showing fans of all genders that there’s nothing wrong with being whoever the fuck you are, that there’s no specific way to be a man or woman. And, god, I just fucking love that.
“So every day during my set, when I’m playing my own shows, I talk about people that are transgender. I talk about it a lot because everyday basically I say: …”
I feel like disco and emo should team up and that should be the next big music thing, sort of a defiant apocalyptic dance party, because disco did this sort of thing too, the rejection of straight white male heteronormativity, and that was basically why it was killed, so, like, emo plus defiant zombie disco would be the perfect thing to play in the Mango Menace era.
I love meta posts like these bc now i understand why my diehard defiant teenage ass was in love with these bands and this culture
I was never into emo as a scene but I was always kneejerk defensive of them because of how much shit they got for enjoying their own aesthetic and music.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
