Playing South Park: Stick of Truth felt like a second chance at a childhood.

A very weird childhood, but at least one with friends.

I've had this game for so long, but haven't started it yet. I'm glad you had a friend-filled second chance at childhood though?

Other folks preferred The Fractured But Whole, but I think I liked this one more out of the two. Collecting Chinpokomon, throwing used tampons like grenades and grossing people out, even beating the game looking like David Hasselhoff...! That was just fun.

Sometimes I wonder if fetishization can be part of the process of recognizing not just monster types as genuine characters, but real life peoples as human.

I grew up in a conservative area, and online yaoi fandom was my means of understanding and accepting even my own homosexuality back then. Same with gender bending kinks and crossdressing, only to crack the egg.

Secret because fetishization is still seen as a sign of bigotry, especially with weirdos who can't accept sexuality except when it debases people they demand be beneath them.

Sure, maybe the person who appears to be a cishet white male weeb who fetishizes submissive asian women might turn out to be a trans girl who wanted to be the girl all along. 99.99% of the time, it'll just be a racist creepy dick though.

You can volunteer to hang around that grenade and pray it's a dud, but I won't be.

I do genuinely think it’s often a step in the process of societal change. Somewhere between “no depiction at all” and “fully equitable depiction”, you get fetishization, enforced stereotypes, and token inclusion.

No one needs to be happy about it, but I think that looking back through the history of various groups’ depictions, it’s often somewhere along the way to progress.

There’s a writer who pops up in various communities before getting banned. He’s attracted to dominant black women, and he thinks that makes him anti-racist, so he thinks anyone who calls out the racism in his writing is “the real racist.”

(Anonymous) 2026-01-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think this is a really common process - so many people attracted to queer themes in fandom then turn out to be queer themselves. I think this is not quite the same as fetishisation, though - fetishisation involves reducing a person to *only* the relevant characteristics. So someone can write a fic about, say, a trans woman, and one person can read it because it touches something within them, and another person can read it because "ooh hot". I don't think either reaction is wrong, but how you relate to real people who share the characteristic determines whether you're treating them as a fetish or not. (And I don't mean just direct interaction - it used to be really common for people to write slash fic and also be homophobic IRL and think gay people shouldn't have rights!)

I don't know if you've studied literary theory, but you've just stepped into a huge literary concept of processing otherness (racial, sexual, disability) by using monsters as a metaphor.

I think it’s complicated with no one size fits all aspect to it at all.

For some people I think sexualising different people from them can help them discover things about themselves.

And for some it’s going to be an othering kink where they’re not considering the people they’re kinking on as actual people.

And I don’t think there’ll be a quick way you can tell where someone is on the scale without interacting with them. That said I don’t assume someone is like the latter without good reason, but I have met them across my life and they’re always gross to interact with.

I will never understand why anyone is getting offended by the texts between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively. They are the most inoffensive texts ever, like, it's normal chatter between friends. Of course the haters are losing their shit acting like she said something awful but it's not at all?????

I still say "The House of Quark" is the best episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. It actually does something interesting with the Klingons and with Quark himself.

I don't GAF about either Taylor or Travis, but it's just very possible he doesn't really talk to her about football and she doesn't talk to him about music, and it's not really a big deal. Fans get really hung up about references in every fandom that don't mean anything to the people about/in them literally all the time.

There is a joke that if it is a flat marsh, then it is this country. I chose it because of a joke. Guess it wasn't actually a joke.
