The Visibility of Disability in Marvel’s Daredevil
I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been losing favor with audiences as of late. There’s been a collective feeling of fatigue regarding most of the projects that they’ve released within the past few years. There are always exceptions, of course, but in the general sense… Marvel is […]

Grieving Over Gachas
Much like the way our ancient ancestor Tiktaalik took its first steps on land 375 million years ago, gaming, too, has evolved in many ways. Perhaps this isn’t a one-to-one comparison since one of these led to the existence of all land creatures and another led to the creation of the Wii U, but just […]

It’s Okay to Let Things Flop
As we all know, art is a completely objective concept and there’s very little if any discourse around it. You see, art is a way of making money. As a matter of fact, art IS money. If it doesn’t make money, then it’s not art. That’s the reason why no profound artistic work has ever […]

My areas of expertise include feminism, politics, the environment, a comprehensive history of the American industrial rock band known as Nine Inch Nails, and so forth.

Vaccines Gave Me Autism and the Pandemic Made Me Trans
I’ll be the first to say it; the childhood-vaccination-to-autism pipeline is old news. Clearly a scientific phenomenon this well-documented has no further need for discussion or deliberation. Take it from me, a fully immunized and fully autistic person. No matter what your peers, professors, and/or medical professionals tell you, there is no such thing as […]

Creator or Computer? The Ethics of AI Art
If there’s a hot button topic that you’ve heard about recently, there’s a decent chance that artificial intelligence, or AI, has been part of the discussion. There are many ways to define artificial intelligence, but in simple terms, it’s broadly considered “a field which combines computer science and robust datasets to enable problem-solving,” according to […]

Furries are Friends, Not Foes
For many internet users, hearing the word “furry” can evoke a sense of either curiosity or dread. For those who don’t know, furries are a subculture of people with an interest in anthropomorphic animals. Someone’s anthropomorphic persona, or “fursona,” is an original character and/or representation of that person as an animal. These characters often exhibit […]
