Dialogue Prompt

"W-why did you do all of this? If I'm not the chosen one, then what was the point of training me?"

"To hurt you."

"To hurt me?"

"Yes. I needed to destroy you and make you into someone new. Into the new chosen one."

"Why am I needed at all? Who's the real chosen one?"

"I am. And I've failed."

One of the stranger phenomenon I’ve observed is how transphobic some people who declare themselves “cyberpunk” can be. 

You’d think for a genre that’s got such concepts as body swapping, cortical stacks, human minds being put into everything from space-whales to nanite swarms, malevolent intelligence emerging from machines and declaring themselves a man or woman or neither, and countless other things, they’d be a little more open to me calling myself Serena despite some fuzz if I don’t shave for a day or two.  

Seriously, Cyberpunk has a really fucking big theme about bodies =/= people, something that so deeply permeates the genre. Every time you see some wacky cyborg who can change bodies, from Ghost in the Shell to Eclipse Phase to Altered Carbon, it’s just confirmation that Body does Not Mean Person, and that the two are entirely separate concepts. 

Of course, maybe it’s just because they like Katanas, leather jackets, and cybernetics, and don’t actually care about the basis of the genre they claim to love. That’s always a possibility. 

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

The sudden realization that this blog was intended to be less depressio than my old one o.O

Welp, hopefully this one stays stuck in internet limbo forever and no one ever finds it

It doesn't matter if it's your OC, you shouldn't lewd a minor

"Uwahhhh! A talking weird thing!"

literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
