  nothing to do with abortion i don’t think. just that if you intentionally bring life into the world, you have responsibilities to that life and to the future world that life will exist within. dr frankenstein does not think in these terms but the unnamed creature does because the unnamed creature is fascinated by the humanities whereas the dr is not.

  ultimately i think Mary Shelly introducing the world to science fiction sets an extremely, almost radical, humanist/feminist tone for the genre that still resonates in science fiction today. if we find pro-choice themes in the story, i think those are themes we find on account of the humanist/feminist nature of being pro-choice, not any intentional technique on the author’s part. but the fact that we find progressivism from 1818 so resonant still today i find deeply meaningful. these are conversations we’ve been having throughout human history. i even think it’s significant she co-titled the book “The Modern Prometheus.” it ties her modern contemporary story to an ancient one and asks the reader to ponder if that old tale was also one dreamt up by a liberation seeker

  i think the real argument is that what makes Frankenstein the monster is that he brings a life into this world but doesn’t provide it any guidance. he refuses to be a good father. the sea captain even finds himself quite charmed by how thoughtful, gentle, and caring the unnamed creature is despite his upbringing and decides the northwest passage isn’t worth him dooming his crew based on his philosophical discussion with the creature

  she is, personally, with no consideration for her husband, extremely conservative. she’s one of those terrifying people from a soviet or post soviet state who views putin as the great protector from the evils of communism, ignoring he’s doing all the worst things about the soviet union without a single one of the upsides

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨human geography⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  how to pronounce “Appalachia” is a contentious subject. Harpers Ferry and south we say “App-uh-latch-(ee)-uh” (the ee is in parentheses because it’s such a small sound most wouldn’t hear it). north of harpers ferry they say “app-uh-lay-tcha”. then there’s one small town of mostly people descended from eastern Europeans who say it “app-uh-lack-(ee)-uh”. fun fact, tekking on YouTube, the manga reviewer, is one of those weirdos who are somehow both simultaneously the most wrong and less wrong than most northern Appalachians.

  i mean come on, the name comes from the appalachee tribe, and the “lach” there is pronounced mere like “latch” than “laych.” at least with “lack” i can reason through that my Ukrainian friend can absolutely not say her "ch"s the way western Europeans do so if you have an insular community of people that pronunciation will stick.

  i had someone here on lemmy try to say the scientists recruited to the US via operation paperclip weren’t involved in crimes against humanity. a lot of people have missed in the shuffle of the past 80 years exactly what happened during the holocaust.

  good for them. that’s what you’re actually supposed to do. that is, however, not the norm with conservative chuds. most will drop kilobuck or more money on an AR platform, and then shoot for shit with it because they don’t have a good enough scope to utilize their high precision barrel.
