But Naruto's sexy no jutsu complicates the mostly negative trans presentation. Maybe it's too comedic to take seriously, but it does echo Western comedic cartoons like Bugs Bunny where the gender play pokes fun at the rigid binary. Though Naruto is mostly too lenient on sex pest behaviour

Someone should write a paper about trans-ness in Naruto. One of the first villains, Haku, presents as a woman in plainclothes, at a time when there was minimal discussion of transness in mass media. Orochimura establishes a lot of nonbinary tropes in villainy I think. Sakon and Ukon also femme

A fave thing about Naruto is that it creates some very sympathetic villains with interesting backstories. It makes the fight scenes much more exciting because the fights are genuinely a part of the character development, and also you care more about the outcome because you like the villains too.

Gaara was really a favorite the first time I watched this... because he had a fruity ace vibe that I shared. Plus, being crazy and angry all the time I related to. He seems a bit less fun in this watch but still a fave!

Rewatching Naruto through a queer lens! It was 10 years before I came out when I first watched it. I think reading it this way is interesting because I think Naruto has a gay legacy which is pretty massive in the culture.

interesting how much Sakura's thoughts are presented when other Naruto characters don't have the same treatment. it says a lot about how performative femininity is, especially in Japanese culture... Because her nasty inner thoughts contrast her sweet demeanor.. or maybe it's not that deep.

If you’re not going to allow powerbanks to be used on flights then you need to provide power sockets so people can charge their devices…

Politicians complaining about “purity tests” seems like gaslighting people with real grievances and them trying to hold public officials accountable.

I would consider console gaming again if there was a Marvel game with Rogue in it… But she hasn’t been in a game since Marvel Puzzle quest in 2017… wtf

Yes, pine cones can act as natural barometers to predict rain because their scales open in dry, sunny weather and close in humid conditions or when rain is approaching. This is a natural mechanism to help with seed dispersal; cones open to allow wind to carry seeds when it's dry.

Ok one of the things I love about this vacation is that it wasn't just a lot of eating and lounging around. (Although the eating was great too!) My shoulders have such a great burn after all those lifts, swimming and rowing. Thanks for the hospitality and adventure @magicsherep.bsky.social !
