Title: You Got Queerness In My Genre Shows! Finally!!! Mod(s): Trixie and Aral Category: Meta Description: The last few years have seen a real explosion of tv shows with lgbtq characters, especially in speculative genres. Shows like Star Trek Discovery, The Magicians, Shadowhunters, Runaways, Wynonna Earp and Black Sails have introduced queerness into science-fiction, fantasy, western, and pirate/age of sail genres. How do we feel about these representations? What haven't we seen yet that we really want? How do these characters fit into, comment on, and/or subvert the genres they're in? And what does this canon queerness do to and for our fandoms? And when will the tentpole movie franchises finally catch up? (looking at you, Star Wars and Marvel!) Other notes:
Title: Pod Save America: The Soft Woke Bros We Need Right Now Mod(s): Trixie and Aral Category: Single Fandom (Pod Save America) Description: Calling all friends of the pod! Let's get together and dish about these earnest goobers and all the various ways we like to imagine them falling in love. How are we all navigating the weirdness of turning our politics into our erotic fantasy outlet? Have you gone to a live show? Tell us your tales! And how about those ads? Who knew that in the year 2018 we would be building a fandom out of the advertising segments of a popular political podcast? How weird is that? Let's break down the appeal of these Obama bros and their growing podcast empire to the world at large and to our filthy little fannish hearts. Other notes:
