tbh. every single nation-state project on the planet has declared war on its women, queer, trans people under the banner of "fraternity", so all must eventually be swept into the dustbin of history. there is no nationalist state project that is not inherently patriarchal.

in my head otome games and BL games are basically the same world of post yaoicceleration, the only difference is that the protagonists of otome games arent men but still exist in that kind of ideal egalitarian utopianism of desiring men. GL games take place on another planet, and are thus rarer

This has been moving at less than a trickle. Please donate and share so that Leqaa can be brought home.
As of now, only $12K of the necessary $250K in legal fees have been raised to free Leqaa. If prisoners are the compass of the Palestinian struggle, they should be the compass of the Palestinian solidarity struggle as well.
You can donate to Leqaa's legal fees here:

you cant really say much to how obvious the hypocrisy is everywhere without driving yourself mad, so you don't have to talk about it. just remember that you don't ever have to forgive them when the tide turns and they try to ask for it. they'll whine like they always do about unreasonable leftists
