i maintain that Christopher Eccleston's series had the best character arcs of any season since the revival, and Christopher Eccleston was an excellent Doctor (though since he was my first i am a bit biased)
oh yeah, i should also mention that i haven't seen /any/ old school Who. so, disclaimer.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I feel like I should make a distinction.
When I say "play a game with pornography in it," I don't mean play any game with pornography in it.
I mean play a game with your pornography. Not like, fucking food porn or whatever, because that shit is fucking stupid. Which is to say, something that specifically arouses your sexual desires.
If you're a gay man, it means that your pornography is not two ladies going at it.
And some people, some people are asexual, so they don't have their pornography. That's fine. Not everyone needs to have pornography.
Not that I haven't been clawed by her. But when she's in a docile mood she lets me do anything. Kiss her toe beans, pet her tummy, play with her ears... so cute.

i liked Cassandra too, but the trans aspect seemed a bit transphobic to me
i read her as being a kind of grotesque parody of excessive plastic surgery; i feel she's a superficial character, literally shallow and obsessed with youth and beauty, and her comment about having been a boy, in light of that, seemed to me like a transphobic joke
i could be reading too much into it. Generally my impression of Who on trans issues is 'well-intentioned, but uninformed', but that line struck me as maybe something nastier.

I can't speak for every trans woman, naturally, but I do intend to become the kind of person who blows all her money on plastic surgery until I look exactly how I wanna look

i see their point about 'dadification' (The Last of Us also springs to mind here)
i can't agree with the idea that you have a responsibility to reason with an armed intruder in your own home, though
if you can see the intruder has a gun, they're prepared to kill, or they want you to believe they are
'get out of my house' could be the last thing you ever said under those circumstances
also i don't think wanting your home and family to be safe (or even just your property, really) and being prepared to use violence to defend it is necessarily a patriarchal idea, although The Castle Doctrine evidently casts it as such
Richie Rich doesn't strike me as someone who has much character at all, but admittedly i only know him from comics people posted here and on tumblr
Richie Rich is insanely wealthy. But not as much as I am.
He ostensibly works for me but does nothing because he doesn't need to.
He also has little to no reason to show up in, say, Cirque du Yogi, because the "lol Hanna-Barbera pays for all the shit we buy" angle presumably precludes any reason for him to show up most of the time (I am aware this is at odds with H-B's real-life cheapness, but Overseer Utilis has shitloads of money and is willing to pay for Snagglepuss's coffee and such)

Basically whenever I find myself thinking "I wonder how old X building is" or "I wonder when they built the expansion wing of Y building" I can just look there and find an answer, which is neat
actually i suppose the problem with the castle doctrine game is with the glorification of that kind of violence, really
i mean they're right that being given the benefit of the doubt in self-defence cases is a privilege that Rohrer enjoys as a white cis male that not everyone has
but i don't think that the amount of safety he wants is a *bad* thing to want, surely

Knew I shouldn't have had that proper milk
Oh, and I nearly died in The Last Of Us, I guess

I will probably go to my grave with this
Could've been a bit more fleshed out.
Still my second favourite game of all time.

i suppose what i'm saying is i felt there was an element of cruel satire going on. That judgement was being passed.
She was, after all, an antagonist.
i feel that A Machine for Pigs was much better than it was given credit for being.
