On the one hand, Wario’s employees account for something like 85% of the female characters with recurring speaking roles across the entire Super Mario franchise, but on the other hand, he’s canonically violating multiple child labour laws and once stuffed a preteen girl into a cannon and shot her into the sea, so it’s tough to say how much credit he really deserves for his equal opportunity hiring practices.
renfaire is what pride wishes it could be. Public sex and debauchery, more of it gay than you’d think. It gets a pass for being nerd shit so nobody really does discourse posts about whether it’s cool to get a handjob from a stacked blonde in a barely-historically-justified bodice, saying “zounds” when you ejaculate, etc

I’m sorry. I’m just. Everyone shut up about the ethics of celebrating/mourning billionaires who die in outrageous ways. This is now the funniest thing: an article mentioning that James Cameron once visited the site of the Titanic
Cameron had previously traveled to the Titanic wreckage, including on Sept. 11, 2001, in a submersible vessel.
You are well known movie director James Cameron. You make a box office hit about a sunken ship. You visit the sunken ship in a once in a lifetime experience. It is amazing. Awe inspiring. Soul changing. Your submersible surfaces. The radio crackles to life. You are about to hear that you missed a Pretty Big Event
