Is Tetsuo: The Iron Man one of the greatest representations of queer awakening?
@horrorpress.bsky.social
let me make the case for Pride Month! Join me in appreciating this oddball cult horror classic that holds cathartic potential for anyone who has contended with expectations of others.

Finding Radical Queer Pride in ‘Tetsuo: The Iron Man’ (1989)
What if I told you Tetsuo: The Iron Man is one of the most evocative examples of “queer awakening” ever put on screen? Okay, that’s a tad hyperbolic, and such queer assertions about beloved media are ...

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

All of this is so much harder than: 1.) posting pics of crowdfunded books that he said were printed in 2021, received in 2022, and "shipped" in 2022/23, 2.) stating plainly why those shipments never materialized, and 3.) reengaging backers who have been deprived of all info since August 2023.

Imagine having to make a statement about crowdfunded items donated to a charity auction because you lied to & ripped off most of your own Kickstarter backers in 2022/2023 and have left them completely in the dark since (no pledge updates since July 2023). The sorry state of

Considering the production of these was fully funded by a Kickstarter campaign for which backers have long been abandoned, every one of these auction listings should come with an immediate receipt for full charity donation minus cost of s&h.

A lie from from Frazer Brown? SHOCKED, I say! While he cries, "victim!" of artist IP withdrawals, hopefully more folks will ask WHY artists won't associate w/ Red Cabin Comics: Refusal to produce a FUNDED book, false shipping announcements, ignoring backers, withholding promised charity funds.

This dude. He keeps yelling about being the victim, while constantly accusing people WHO VOLUNTEERED FOR CHARITY of being duplicitous, conspiratorial, psychotic vengeance demons coming after him for no reason. We dared ask him the unreasonable question, "Where are the books? And can we see them?"

Wannabe publisher who collected hundreds of creative works explicitly for charity intention gets mad when artists withdraw rights after the publisher continues to use their work for promotion after YEARS without actually publishing the book or releasing collected charity funds.

This sequence of ChatGPT screenshots demonstrates how persuasive, ingratiating, and intelligent it can sound while saying nothing. I'd say it lies constantly, but to lie, it would have to be able to recognize what is true, and it can't. The most expensive scam in human history is underway.

backers have been due an update since September 2023 after Frazer Brown lied about shipping pledge rewards that still are not proven to have even been produced. Backers sound the alarm every time he trots out another "update coming" notice, because it's a ruse for wallets he hasn't yet burned.
