the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise – what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that
Tolkien had the time apparently
LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
hot news: male reviewer of wonder woman has never heard of lesbians in his life, more at 7
“lives sexlessly without men”
Weak cishet males
Amazon Society: *produces a 12 volume work on the subject of pleasure*
Diana: When it comes to procreation, men are essential, but for pleasure, not necessary.
Male Reviewer: I guess that means they don’t know about sex!
Me: Harold, they’re lesbians.
I thought it was pretty clear that both women (but very obviously Antiope) had wives/partners who appeared in multiple background scenes. But even without that, uh wtf?
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
A lesbian friend and I were discussing how cis men can’t handle any kind of sexuality that doesn’t center men. And this is just yet more proof. OMG.
