  • Frank Horrigan could be trans considering super mutants lose all sex characteristics in their transformation. Horrigan is so lacking in self awareness that he could literally have forgotten that he used to live as another gender. I don’t know the likelyhood of getting trans healthcare in the Imperium, but if it makes a soldier more effective, they might provide testosterone treatment to Cain. Degurechaff is already a gender-swapped character, so we don’t even need to stretch the story to make them trans.

    Also, none of these characters seem to be heroic in any way. Fascinating






  • My understanding of that whole system is that while workers are female in the sense that they can lay eggs in specific circumstances, they usually only lay males. Therefore, the only long term genetic contribution most workers can ever make is functionally male. This is because male ants generally get the short end of the stick, serving as vessels for genetic exchange between colonies. They’re basically sperm themselves.


  • there are plenty of very evil and very competent people in the regime pulling the strings and setting the long term goals and strategies

    That’s the part I specifically don’t believe. Even the people like Bannon who have certain impressive skills, are ultimately short term thinkers that are liable to miscalculation due to arrogance. At the end of the day, they know not to speak out against any dumb move Trump wants to pull, as he has consistently purged such people and replaced them with insane yes-men.

    Trump has never been puppeted, only manipulated and tricked by people appealing to his ego. He is uniquely adept at uniting fascist foot soldiers and oligarchic interests, but he has never been the billionaires’ perfect option. They tried to replace him before both the 2016 and 2024 elections, specifically because he isn’t their lapdog.
