These things are annoying. That's just Shat with long hair and his eye-lashes done.
My hair is currently chin-length, but I've let it go almost to my shoulders in the past. Add some eye-lash and boom. I wouldn't say that would make me look like a woman.
Give Shatner a perm again, and he'd look like he was in an '80s metal band.
Rem is a great character. But I'm curious about your reading of Asuna. I never got on the SAO hate train. I just found the whole thing pretty forgettable. Heck, it's like the only Yuki soundtrack I don't own. The only thing I really remember about Asuna is the common take that the second half of the first season completely shits all over her. So are you suggesting there might be metaphor to explore in her encaging?
And the world (and the TBBS) is better for it.I KNEW I had to be Julie and not [deadname] all the time or else I'd commit suicide.
I'm not sure Norman Bates counts. He isn't dressed as a women so much as he is specifically dressed as his mom. It's more about split personality thing going on with him because most of the movie you think the mom is still alive but it's been him the whole time. I don't even think when he is in his "mom" role he is even conscious of it he must have lots of going on to not notice her skeleton. Also I wouldn't say the point of the movie is he had a unhealthy bond to her. Maybe she was abusive or maybe he had some Odepius stuff or she was to controlling and didn't allow him to mature as he got older.

That doesn't really work in real life either. It's just torturing someone until they say they're straight or altering them to not have a sex drive at all. Trek pushing the idea that it is possible was a terrible choice on top of a lot of other terrible choices in that episode.
Good for him, I find it disgusting.
Gender-bending Shatner looks like an aging trophy wife.

I do view Asuna's arc in Fairy Dance as being about the unfair grip parents have on the lives of their daughters. That arc and her relationship with her mother in Season II's Mother's Rasario arc are very painful but cathartic experiences. Asuna, Kirito and Yui are my favorite characters and seeing them interact is the best part of the experience for me! Being trans, you often feel like you're stuck in your teens forever. Combine that with the idea of being able to be a mother to such a well-mannered and cute girl like Yui is very cathartic.
Also, thank you! I'm happy to he here.
...ah, I'm getting so off-topic...
The last few years, I've had to start to mentally separate Shatner from Kirk. If someone told me 20 years ago -- or even 10 years ago -- I'd think this, I never would've believed them.
On top of the transphobia, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner weren't on speaking terms for the last five years of Nimoy's life. That's for a reason. It's a shame William Shatner doesn't ever stop to think, "Maybe I'm taking things too far."
It's the same tropes we get lumped in with. Trans women are called mentally ill men all the time.
Christ, I didn't know. I don't follow actors very closely so I didn't know Shatner was such a piece of shit until he started being an ass to Katelyn Burns on Twitter and saying TERFy shit. Ugh. This sucks.
Shatner as a person has always seemed like a self-absorbed ass. I learned to separate him from James T. Kirk long ago just so it's easy to enjoy Kirk as a fictional character. If the character were as flaky and toxic as the actor my opinion of Kirk would take a real hit.
Thanks! I had no idea... but I also avoid twitter XD
It seems to me he doesn't understand what cis is or what a slur is... or both
Shatman has really gone over the rails in recent years. I used to dismiss his antics as harmless douchebaggery but it's hard to do that anymore.
But his "feud" with RLM was pretty fucking hilarious. And I put feud in quotes because the part I found most funny was RLM's belief they were on equal footing.

Hmm. May have to watch again.
Pfft. We're TBBS members. Off-topic is part of the job.
He's 80+ years old, could just be dementia or senility setting in. Who really knows?
Oh wow, definitely. I love powerful voices like that!
She's such a great talent. Her Sworldland remix for Ordinal Scale was so awesome, too! It's such a shame the music for Star Trek is so conservative and meek. Even the 'bigger' pieces in Goldsmith's work don't quite have the speed, energy and scope of something like Kaji'ura or Sagisu Shirou, my favorite composer. I'd love to see really nice slice of life music, drama music and action music in Trek since it has such a breadth of scenes.
It would help to keep in mind that Burnham is DSC’s main protagonist and all that entails. So, with that in mind, the show is being written in a way that is reflective of this fact.
The singer is Chiaki Ishikawa who's had a solid career of her own since they split up (Almost 20 years ago.)
And it's at the moment I realize that's Asuka in your avatar. I actually spent several minutes staring at the screen trying to figure out who that is. I'm dumb.
If you're a Sagisu fan and like slice of lifeish stuff, you should give His and Her Circumstances [Kare Kano] a try if you haven't seen it. It's old and was low-budget even for its time so it looks really dated. But the writing is top-notch.
