Kill la Kill is literally allegory and metaphor the whole way down. Every single episode can have extensive analysis done that points out inspirations, puns, metaphors, and other literary devices. It’s why it is one of my favorite anime despite the amount of ‘plot’ in it, because the ‘plot’ serves the allegory and plot in a non-obviously tacked on way.

The big issue is that the cult grew in her absence, as when she was admin she was an incredibly controversial admin for the community, and it would have been fine if she wasn’t granted admin immediately. But ‘TC69 thought’ has, over the years, mostly been distilled into the good parts of it (which are unequivocally good) with the more problematic aspects forgotten or memeified.

While I shouldn’t weigh in too much, especially post-hoc, I could’ve told you that having TC69 back as a mod or admin was a very bad idea.

As important TC69 was (and from a legacy perspective is) to creating an aggressively positive trans culture, she, for better and worse, acts incredibly narcissistically when she is placed into positions of power, and more importantly, in my opinion, she is/was ideologically incoherent as moderator. You cannot simultaneously say ‘its just a website’ while also banning people for small indiscretions or personal beef. After all, ‘it’s just a website’ why should the moderators care that much? She tends to take so much shit that goes on here personally and yet expects nobody else to.

A poor decision unless you enjoy drama.

It’s less about who they are, and more of the company they likely keep. Art historians are absolutely obsessed with aesthetic, though.

Well Kazin, I’d love to explain to you what epitets I use for right wingers, but then the FBI would come pay me a visit.

Also, my favorite kind of person “What if we imagined a left without any ideals at all?”

If you’ve ever watched Big Bang theory, you will begin to realize that much of the tech sector is literally run by people who think like Sheldon.

Yeah, isn’t it weird that cloistered art people who by and large focus on aesthetic presentation with little regard or insight on how those aesthetics are or were produced en masse would indulge in anti-communism or, idk, anti the concept having a moral compass in the slightest.
