So often public discourse around sexual violence involves sex itself when, in reality, it can’t face the truth that sexual violence is a tool to assert dominance and keep victims in subservience and weakness more often than not

Since Warhammer orks are explicit stand-ins for English football hooligans, maybe this actually exists, but it's the "football" the rest of the globe sensibly plays rather than American handegg

I was briefly excited when I first heard about "fantasy football" but sad again on discovering it wasn't about fielding a unicorn QB and a defensive line of dragons. I guess the actual thing could count as "fantasy" if you decide they're making alternate universes

I don't know how many dollars Rick "Sapience" Heaton has raised for Extra Life, a charity in which the gaming community supports medical treatment for kids, but now he's the one who could use the help. As Elda said, even signal boosting helps here.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

"Journey's End" #tolkientrewsday Some characters have ends to their journeys before the book ends. Théoden King's is almost like Thorin's writ even larger: forgiveness spoken to a hobbit on a battlefield. But also the horse! "Faithful servant yet master's bane / Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane."

Does this woman (Hughes, I mean, not Caraballo) think you go to gender clinics and get repeatedly kicked in the knee? I mean, she DOES think there are clinics replumbing young kids, which is arguably a dumber idea to hold, but way to make it about you I guess. I mean both gender and your kid's knee

#hobbitday "I am in fact a hobbit" -- Tolkien's female characters are underdeveloped but the redemption arc in "The Scouring of the Shire" is Lobelia, jailed for attacking a Sharkey minion with her umbrella. "They've took some we miss more, but there's no denying she showed more spirit than most."

#tolkientrewsday theme: "City of Dreaming Spires" which of course was Matthew Arnold's phrasal invention for Oxford in "Thyrsis" - both an elegy and a heckin chonker of a poem, with an invented rhyme scheme. All very Tolkien. Out of context the phrase nods to Gondolin & to Tirion upon Tuna.

#TolkienTrewsday - if we do not as a fandom IMMEDIATELY confront our racism/all the -isms problem then we are cooked, chat. We know what RoP antis say about Arondir and Disa, and we know what LOTRO players mean about Umbar and Harad not feeling "like Tolkien," and nobody is willing to talk about it.

OK, so I had this discussion with two of the four Gandalf cosplayers I saw this weekend. What is the plural of Gandalf? a. Gandalf is also the plural, like moose/moose; b. Gandalfs, as here; c. Gandalves, because JRRT had to fight his publisher to get "elves" and particularly "dwarves"; or what?
