“cracking open a cold one with the boys” is a good meme bc it’s very pure. no unnecessary hostility… no in your face sexuality… even when violent imagery is used it’s downplayed, arguably even subverted, as it is solely a metaphor for the time honored pursuit of getting together with the boys for some cold ones

it’s also the only good heterosexual-coded meme for similar reasons.

it doesnt have to be heterosexual-coded if the boys are all in a healthy polyamorous relationship with the cracker-opener-of-cold-ones

I like the way you think. cracking open cold ones is gay now

I occasionally think that I should just collect a masterpost of overtly political things that have happened in the Star Trek franchise and be prepared to throw it at the next person who tries to argue that Discovery or whatever shouldn’t be political.

And then I realize that I’d probably be on the hook for massive copyright infringement because (say it with me)

Star Trek

was

explicitly

and overtly

political

from the very beginning

and has never stopped.

It wasn’t always good–it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives–but it is far easier to remove quality from Star Trek than politics.

it was frequently hamhanded, corny, schmaltzy, and a whole grocery store of other food-related (and not food-related) adjectives – That’s the thing, Star Trek isn’t even the least bit subtle about its politics. Its metaphors and parallels are about as on-the-nose as you can get.

I mean, yeah, ONLY GAY PEOPLE get to be afraid, but oh no, not Republican’s/Conservatives who are shat on at every opportunity, get their talks crashed by a bunch of wussie crybabies who have nothing better to do than disturb other people who just want to listen to Ben Shapiro talk. 

oh but yeah Only Gay people get to be scared.

– we all refer to the prime minister by their first name. we know them well, and they know us. all of us.

– there’s a man on the street corner who never leaves. “just waiting for a mate,” he says. you realise he is on every corner, of every street.

– you are swooped by a magpie in the same place, at the same time, every single day. “it’s swooping season!” says your neighbour. it has always been swooping season.

– sometimes you hear a woman whispering late at night – or early in the morning. “rage” she hisses. “rage”.

– the prime minister never seems to last long and often disappears through no discernible democratic process. one of them eats a raw onion in an attempt to assimilate. he is gone by morning, replaced by another.
