My partner pointed out what’s wrong with Aggretsuko: “at the end of the season, everything is returned to the status quo.” It’s true and it’s annoying.

Aggretsuko has several interesting characters with complicated relationships it continuously misused and then tosses away by the season finale to ensure everyone buys into the unacceptable norm.

There’s no growth, no arcs, no changes that aren’t smashed with a hammer by the end of the episode so everything can go back to how it was.

The show’s introduction of harassment, stalking, and exploitation are superficially dealt with before someone saves Aggretsuko. Plus the El*n M*sk insert is a white knight meant to fill in plot holes or complete some weird fantasy?

Hey white guys who facilitate trainings that include anti-harassment modules: when you say “I hate these trainings- just don’t be stupid”, it tells me two things. 1) you’ve never recognized harassment in your life and 2) you don’t take hostile work environments seriously.

Also not a comprehensive anti-harassment statement: “don’t be an asshole”, “don’t act like a dick”, “be smart”.

Anti harassment and anti hostile work environment trainings should include how to recognize harassment of others and yourself, what to do in those situations (FIRM steps), and an examination of biases.

Batman asks Harley what this “sick infatuation with Joker is”, which is hilarious and ironic. Pot calling the kettle.

I do have so many questions about the premise of this episode: where did dude get an abomb? Why was it stored in a warehouse with no safety measures? Where is the federal government? None of these are answered, but Gotham’s most toxic couple have been reunited.

This is a safe space to discuss luchador Bane. #batman

Fable II is my (problematic) favorite video game. It had like 2 women on its dev team of like 100, but I just love a serious* fantasy game that’s unapologetically horny.

Also Hammer/Hanna is iconic.

The game is fatphobic, ableist, ignores race, and falls down on its face when it comes to queer representation, but it was a better play through than the others.

We’ve been watching Batman: the Animated series in the mornings. This will be my thread of commentary on it.

First of all, the entire series constantly references real, specific mid century modern, Art Deco, and even prairie school designers and I eat that shit up.
(For instance, Mayor Hill has a Frank Lloyd Wright style mansion)

So far, the most queer episode is “Feet of Clay”, which features a (not specifically named) gay couple and a trans subplot introduced in the final frame. It’s a shame because the gay relationship is abusive. Kind of shockingly so.
