    Certain parts of the internet's fascination with the transsexual fetish notwithstanding, how does feeling you're in the wronger gender feel like? I am quite curious, and this isn't a subject I can just talk about with just anyone.

    I know liking to old stuff is totally a cop-out, but I wrote a big long post about my gender dysphoria a while back. I think that probably does it more justice than I could do in a forum post.

    I don't know anything about the state of healthcare in Venezuela (calling Stormtrooper!),



    It's okay I guess I think maybe.



    (As in, he organized a coup de etat and took down Caldera or whoever was in charge back then. He did uphold elections post-facto, though)



    His coup against Carlos Andrés Pérez failed (he'd later get impeached anyways. Rafael Caldera succeeded him).



     Yeah, I think most people in the US would reflexively condemn him just because he was anti-capitalist.



    That.


    @Corruption talk: Meh, it's not like the peeps working for him didn't line their pockets too.


    Edit: Also, some people including Nicolás Maduro (the vice prez) are suggesting that Chávez was infected with cancer by the US government.

    According to that guy, I look like him, but I can't really see it that much.

    I love watching big name people/organizations get upset over things on Twitter. Whether it's John Scalzi, who's (understandably) upset about Hydra's remarkably shitty publishing terms, or Kerrang! Magazine having a little chat with Blood on the Dance Floor, it just amuses me.

    Hydra's remarkably shitty publishing terms



    From the comments section:



    Wow, that sounds worse than a lot of vanity publishers because with many vanity publishers you can at least keep your rights.



    That's remarkably sad.

  • saladofstonessaladofstones

    That this is such a major company makes this a lot sadder. Although I can't see anyone who sees these terms actually accepting.

    Well, thing is, any independent writers who don't know much about legal terms may accept it simply because they don't notice the immoral things about it.

    Today, on the way to school, I saw an advert on the bus for "Jack The Giant Slayer".


    What the everlasting fuck.


    What's with the craze of taking fairy tales and making them "darker and edgier"?


    First we have "Snow White and the Huntsman", then "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." and now this.

    They were dark and edgy before they became fairy tails tales.

    Yeah, the original Grimm tales, and especially the folk tales they were based on, had some really dark shit.


    It was censored in later editions, and the fairy tales we know today have in fact passed through a lot of adaptations to make them more suitable for children.

  • OctoOcto
    I don't even call it violence when it's in self defence; I call it intelligence.

    And besides, that's what always has happened with folk tales, legends and the sort: They have a core theme, but it gets changed, rewritten and adapted over and over again. Folk tales are very transformable, and modern adaptions just continue that tradition.

  • KrakenKraken

    Jack The Giant Slayer is not bad, actually. Kind of fun.

    According to their letters, the original version of "The Red Shoes" that one of the brothers heard was so disturbing that they actually had to tone it down significantly just to publish it. Given how messed up their version is, one can only imagine how monstrous the unrevised version must have been.

  • KrakenKraken

    I have no idea how it could be more disturbing. And I quite frankly do not want to know.


    That said, another origin presents itself;



    Andersen explained the origins of the story in an incident he witnessed as a small child. By his report, his father was sent a piece of red silk by a rich lady customer, to make a pair of dancing slippers for her daughter. Using red leather along with the silk, he worked very carefully on the shoes, only to have the rich lady tell him they were trash. She said he had done nothing but spoil her silk. "In that case," he said, "I may as well spoil my leather too," and he cut up the shoes in front of her.
