PokéROMs were a weird shape, like oval but with straight sides? They had a promotion in 2000 where they came free as a cereal prize iirc.

I'd highly suggest reading Banana Fish (manga); without spoiling too much, the main antagonist is the head of the Corsican mafia, and the author doesn't shy away from explicitly namedropping the CIA and its anticommunist operations in South America and Vietnam (among others), or the systemic abuse of children from marginalized backgrounds by the US government. The anime is good too, but it's set in the 2010s rather than the 1980s so some of the changes don't make sense (e.g. replacing the Vietnam War with the Iraq War).

You'd think someone obsessed with retro baby cartoons would think twice about sounding like Murky Dismal from Rainbow Brite

Deathscythe and Wing Zero were so great. I remember saving up my pocket money to get kits of the both of them - they even had little figurines of Heero and Duo!

I have been looking for this video for months! Thanks so much for posting it

I'm more of a fan of Socialist Classicism myself

In some cultures, yes, many GNC gay people would be considered part of a 'third gender', and this was also the case in a lot of the West before modern separatist movements came into the picture. There's still an overlap today between he/him lesbians, stone butch, drag kings, and transmasc communities, just like there are overlaps between effeminate she/her gays, drag queens, and transfemme communities.

Also, non-binary people can physically transition through various surgeries and hormones, in addition to social transitioning. It's often very difficult because much of western society doesn't recognize their existence, so NB people are often forced to choose between the 'socially acceptable gender' of either male or female to live as legally, which can in turn lead to major dysphoria.

Thanks for the reply; I'm not all that well-versed on the subject, so I definitely need to read more about it!
