MTG: First Draft of my Biollante EDH deck

A global pandemic is an excellent time to waste money, time and energy on expensive social hobbies. Magic has been something of a mythological game for me for almost a decade now. Never quite having the money or social group to get into it, but thoroughly enjoying the game nonetheless. Back seat watching middle class liberals who were all pretty much awful people made up a good portion of my…

You Probably Just Hate Women

You probably just hate women and, in this case, have given up being subtle about your homophobia.
If you are one of those unfortunate people who have been following me on twitter and seen my endless venting about it lately, you will have seen that BL discourse is never ending. Since we are at the start of a new season of anime, where a show of this kind in any other genre would be considered…

My Confusion over Dies irae ~Amantes amentes~

Reading Dies irae has been quite the odd experience for me. Not because it does anything particularly groundbreaking and unique with the visual novel medium. Though there are some odd decisions about how it’s structured and how you buy it. But rather because it is a VN that despite having spent 70 hours with, I am still very mixed up over.

While all these douche bros tweet about how Hugh Hefner was badass for getting so much “pussy” and having young “bitches” around him just remember what he was really like:

• Wrote about female sexuality and how women should enjoy themselves in the 60’s and 70’s

• Hired female photographers when magazines like Vogue still didn’t

• Openly accepted gay sexuality even when he was young

• Helped Bettie Page get the rights to her image in the 90’s when she was poor and elderly and people were making money off of her without her knowledge

• Had his ex wife and kids live next door so he could still see them and help raise them

• All playboy playmates were allowed to use the facilities at the Playboy Mansion for the rest of their lives, it wasn’t just a place for the newest young girls

• Didn’t use his fame and image to force girls to be with him or assault them. He would formally ask girls to live with him and be his girlfriend, and they were all over 18.

If you don’t like him that’s fine, but he wasn’t some sexual predator-he did what wanted openly and was honest about it.

RIP Hugh
