Can we just have a moratorium on JK Rowling related secrets and Trans issues, please? It is fucking exhausting.

Serious request, not just letting off steam. I'd like to officially request that due to the way the threads always turn out. It is making F!S a significantly less welcoming place to come to. With the fragile state of the community, I think it is something we can do without. Please.

Secret #5’s thread about JK Rowling is predictably heading into transphobia, especially with responses like this:

If you're alright with subtitles, then The Lost Tomb series would scratch your itches.

(A long-form serial with lots of adventure shenanigans and also... it has really good people? Don't know a better way of saying it. The people are good people.)

Unfortunately there seems to be a real dearth in Hollywood in terms of being able to make good, exciting adventure stories. It's very strange, because it doesn't seem like it should be all that difficult to do, but it seems very consistent. I mean, just look at how bad the 4th Indy movie was, or the Mummy reboot. So I don't know if anyone would be able to pull it off.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think the Indiana Jones movies are dated at all, because they're set in the 30s-50s. People weren't woke then.

I'd rather see a new series in the universe, like some student of Dr. Jones who was inspired to search for...one of the seven wonders of the world because they were disappeared by a villain who put them in an undersea museum or something.

Haha until I read your last bit, I was about to say that as 90s kid/born in the mid-80s kid, The Mummy of the late 90s basically filled the hole in my heart left by no new Indy films.

[esteefee]

I'd rather see Indiana Jones in the Year of Our Lord 2022 raiding the British Museum et alia and returning all the antiquities to their native lands...

[(Anonymous)]

Indiana Jones dir Taika Waititi: All about Indy stealing things from the British museum to return them to museums in the actual country of origin and being chased by secret museum agents.

The two new Jumanji movies were fun, as were Jungle Cruise and The Lost City.

Well, there's Hooten & the Lady, a one season show about Lady Alex, curator for the British Museum, and Hooten, an adventurer, who travel the world to solve ancient mysteries. Let me copy-paste the imdb synopsis of the second episode:

Hooten asks Lady Alex to help him find the long lost Sibylline Books, a collection of mystical prophecies. In Rome, the museum curator quickly finds herself scaling the Sistine Chapel, battling a sewer alligator and facing the Mafia.

I saw this a while back but from what I remember, that sums the show up pretty well. Iirc, it is
• only as racist as the average tv show,
• pretty colonial,
• features a kickass woman (played by the same actress as Kitty in Elementary) as the main character who'd rather travel through the jungle in Cambodia than partake in British peerage society stuff (like planning her wedding), and
• is stupid in the same way the Indiana Jones movies were stupid. See the synopsis.

Me to my sister as we watched that one monologue at the end in a hotel: Please don't give up. I know this is taking 5 years. It will be over soon.

This is basically me with Valheim. And when I'm finally able to get the hot game, everyone's moved on anyway.

Yeah, I’ve seen trans Harry Potter fans get in giant Internet arguments with people who think Harry Potter fans are all transphobic.

CW: Discussion of Rape in Porn

[(Anonymous)]

Back in the day, I read MGE entries as they were translated, and they had good building. However, I tended to treat the rampant Female-On-Male rape much like one views adventure stories: Fun to read about and fantasize about, but knowing fully well that it would be traumatic in real life.

Sadly, it seems to be an assumption of the author (that you can still find in many places), that "men cannot be raped, abused, nor traumatized by it, because they always want sex."

I think the more we learn about the environments, situations, and effects rape has in real life, the more it is treated in a serious manner. Hell, even on a sex-focused setting, no matter how ridiculous you make it, people would eventually realize that a normal inhabitant of the world would rightfully fear monster girls everywhere... and thus create fic.

And mind, I remember a far, far worse horror pokemon fanfic regarding Hypno.

TL;DR: Creator makes adventure world with downplayed dangers, fans will connect the dots, and realize it's horrible.

The injuries thing was a fic idea I tried to convince my fic writer friend and co-shipper to implement.
Might check these series out once it's all translated and is there in good quality.
