Here's the way I think about and approach this.
Speaking from a materialist perspective, I think it's extremely inappropriate for the first instinct so many people have to be talking about redemption and atonement rhetoric for a very literal rapist, especially one with the structural and institutional power that being a cis white male innately gives you, the kind of power that makes a university hit you with a slap on the wrist. (And this isn't just me talking, Geller himself frames his societal criticisms in structural, material terms, so he's cultivated a community that looks at things like this materially, which *is* the correct way to approach it.) Jacob Geller is *not* a victim, he's not a tragic misunderstood man being besieged by an angry mob, he is a primary structural beneficiary of multiple dominant class positions, and automatically receives a shield of people that default to seeing his career - his position as a successful, influential media figure with a hell of a lot of social capital - as something that *they* should protect for him, or that should be *protected* at all. Does this rhetoric actually serve *anyone* other than Jacob? Does a single semester suspension (something that Jacob just admitted was a slap on the wrist) and a decade of silence - while building an extremely influential position in a Left space that he *knew* would rightly approach sexual assault with disgust - count in any way as *accountability*? No. Any kind of next steps after this demand stepping away from structural power and influence, stepping away from wealth-generating platforms, as a *baseline*. *Full blown deception* in service of building influence is not *rehabilitation*. He's not *entitled* to this position. The victim (whose trauma was horrifically dragged out without any kind of consent, care, or consideration, it's absolutely true) needs to be centered above all else. Fearing for an abuser's job before even acknowledging the reality of the person he abused, to me, is a violent inversion of solidarity.Even more fundamentally, I think, there's simply a deep, ongoing structural violence in a cisgender, straight, white male occupying a dominant position as a "progressive voice" while directly benefitting from the exact institutional leniency designed to insulate men like him from the consequences of patriarchal violence. Is it correct to grant a rapist a continued position of ideological and cultural authority? At what cost to others does that come? What are we telling survivors? What are we telling women? What are we telling the marginalized and subjugated? What are we telling *other men*? At what cost does that come? Are a man's video essays more valuable than their physical safety and psychological well-being?

I feel like something people have fundamentally misunderstood is that the joke with those "Nintendo hire this man" type projects wasn't that they had lots of detail and realistic environments. The joke is that they just carelessly dropped a character into a scene filled with default Unreal assets.

I appreciated how they talked about preserving certain aspects like the loading screens between areas or aspects of character appearances as well. Also despite it being updated the core of combat still *seems* to be OoT and that's important to me

THAT PART WAS REALLY GOOD, plus I do think they clearly have a style they're going for instead of *just* realism, and I see it really coming together with some of the redone regions we've seen

MIO
An illustration of Mio from Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The art is somewhat messily painted and brightly coloured. It's a thigh-up shot, and Mio is holding her flute up to her mouth. In the background, M is painted in lineart looking wistfully off to the left.

I think there is a way to argue for the core of where this sentiment comes from, but it's from the perspective of the actual production of the text itself - the form, how the game influences us to side with the ideological solution that Rex represents, the behavior that 2 chooses to assign Torna

It's how I still care about and appreciate Shulk and Fiora as they exist now, even when I'm as thoroughly politically and methodically developed as I've become! Both the emotional impulse and the broken ideology it's wrapped in are real and innate! That's how it resonates at all
010
💛🤍 Rudra 💜🖤 @amadeusrudra.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
That in mind, we can look at this through a gaze where one eye focuses on the cold, structural reality of their regressive, traditional, heteronormative dynamic, while the other retains a warm sentimentality and recognizes (even loves) the emotional resonance and beauty embedded into their bond

💛🤍 Rudra 💜🖤 @amadeusrudra.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
There's an authentic, genuine longing and desire infused into Shulk and Fiora (both the characters and the song) that we respond to. The text *has* to offer this to get its hooks into you, and subsequently hijack and manage the impulse. They structurally exist as two sides of the same coin
100
💛🤍 Rudra 💜🖤 @amadeusrudra.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
The awesome thing about the Dialectic of Ideology and Utopia is that it gives you space to understand and demystify the ideology that forms the contours of their dynamic while still appreciating and loving the genuine, real emotion that the text has to tap into to be able to successfully sell itself

It certainly helps that Future Connected just *gets* what makes Melia so special in a way nothing else quite does for me. I saw the vision years ago and nothing ever changed that

They do at least still exist in the form of the H2Hs (which also makes the XB1 iteration by far my favorite, there's SO MUCH meaningful and legitimately great stuff in there), but I get what you mean. But hey, even through all of that, it couldn't stop Melia from being my favorite Xeno character!

Same except I'm crazy and I'll sometimes do back to back replays of XB1. Finish a run on DE and then days later boot up a new game file on Wiinoblade just to do it all over again. People get frustrated with me for doing that instead of playing new stuff but I'm just wired like this

The one that hits the hardest to me is other queer people either outright in the military or justifying the "right" to enlist. So much of our radical roots were suppressed and buried when the neoliberal approach became dominant over liberation and solidarity.

You'd hope things like this would end the romanticization that even other Leftists participate in regarding "small businesses" in a general sense, which can at times structurally be even more ruthless and exploitative than the major targets people feel more comfortable opposing.

Moving to a city with one of the largest DSA chapters has been a really interesting experience for me. Lot more going on, lot more to plug into... and of course, despite all those different options, I'm being sucked back into the void of Poli-Ed. Anyone who knows me probably isn't surprised by that

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
suzpretti
18 hours ago

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex's murder. No one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain?
Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the outreach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you've all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don't forget to spend time with those you love...
