Do you really think "didn't want to have sex" is the important part in the story of Narcissus?

This is it.
People keep insisting that the populace would win a war of populace against state... maybe it would, I don't know and it's not the problem.
The problem is a war of half the populace against the state and the other half of the populace. Fascism is carried into power by popular demand, it's not like one day they just appear on the levers of power and have to put up with a revolting population. They will have been put there by the population, and it will be the better armed half of the population.

And the problem is not even the corporate wokeism (although it's feels about as insincere as all of the current corporate wokewashing) it's just... bad writing. "Lifeless" is absolutely on point as a description for the sequels. It felt like they only existed to yank my nostalgia while at the same time trying to do so with less thought and love poured into them. Plastic, lifeless, sanitized, insincere, corporate profit driven nostalgia-fodder CAN NOT compare to simply good writing, actors with chemistry and sincerity.
I watched 7, suffered through 8 and didn't even care about watching 9. Yes, I am nostalgic, but that's precisely what the sequels were created to evoke. But just nostalgia isn't enough!
Like you, I really enjoyed most of the spin-offs. They had a story to tell and they had direction, believable characters and did not feel like just trying to yank my nostalgia for the original trilogy. I mean... they DID yank my nostalgia, but then they went above and beyond that and told interesting stories.

That kind of violence is really the exception to the rule. Mainly because the movement is anything but centralised, anyone and everyone can be part of it and declare themselves antifascist. And of course the corpo media is more interested in and reports on the things that make us look bad and get them clicks.
I did write an entire essay here, but then it occurred to me that this is rather not the place and it felt... self-congratulatory, so I'll just say:
Most of the work antifascist actions do is small and quiet but imho more important than the black block.

Oh I am cognizant of the fact that not necessarily skin-color is the fulcrum of real, existing medieval racism (it's rather a different kind of racism/culturalism and it does declare for example jews and muslims to be subhumans (source)) but I'm talking completely RPG-worlds here, with all their baggage and misunderstandings.

I go completely cosplay in those worlds, hell yeah, xenophobia is part of the lore and it's fun to flip your usual behavior to let off some steam in a safe and gratifying way. I'll play the "Xeno-Scum!" screaming commissar as well as the medieval knight who thinks black people are naturally inferior. But every fucking time, there's some asshole in the fandom whose damaged brain thinks this somehow translates into acceptable behavior IRL.
No dude! How do the huge black, red and straight out Antifa-Flag hanging in the playroom, the dozens of stickers everywhere showing a fist destroying a swastika and the fotos from demonstrations showing us with the local democratic-socialist youth not give it away? Our clubhouse is not a safe place for fascists to be in!

Because I hear these people make the masks don't work argument
The thing is that they hear doctors say "Masks don't reliably protect against disease" and go "masks don't work", but what the doctors say is "they aren't 100% reliable, so don't use it as the only method of protection".
But if wearing a mask vs not wearing a mask lowers your risk of infection by 50%, that's a huge deal! And with the way infections spread, that's millions of prevented points of infection.

Ya, I don't speak any Spanish really, but I have committed their songs to memory, because they speak directly to my heart.
Common themes are:
- class consciousness
- unity in revolutionary thought
- the horrible history of the white colonizer
- the rights of the indigenous
- criticism of capitalism, religion and the media as tools to exploit the worker
- the socialist movement of south and middle america
- the expansionist imperialism of the US and much of Europe
# Spanish ```Ella nació en un cuerpo equivocado Atrapada en piel de hombre y una mente de mujer No eres normal, berreaban los demonios Le robaron la sonrisa innata de la niñez Libre, sueña ser libre Entre mofas y exclusión Quiere ser libre, del todo libre Y obedecer al corazón Ámale, ámala Ignora toda religión Que no te permita amar Ámale, ámala Levanta la multicolor Viva la diversidad Dura opresión que se esconde entre la burla El desprecio y la ignorancia de un cerebro medieval ¿Quién cojones eres tú? Para injerir en vida ajena A la mierda reaccionarios Siempre amé la libertad Libre, sueña ser libre Entre mofas y exclusión Quiere ser libre, del todo libre Y obedecer al corazón Ámale, ámala Ignora toda religión Que no te permita amar Ámale, ámala Levanta la multicolor Viva la diversidad No hables de revolución No hables de fraternidad Si te vuelves a mofar de su sexualidad ¿Qué tipo de rebelión tú pretendes ensalzar? Si te vuelves a olvidar de la libertad Por la libertad es fundamental la diversidad Por la libertad, por la libertad Es fundamental la diversidad Por la libertad, por la libertad Es fundamental la diversidad Por la libertad, por la libertad Es fundamental la diversidad Ámale, ámala Ignora toda religión Que no te permita amar Ámale, ámala Levanta la multicolor Viva la diversidad ``` # English Translation ```She was born in the wrong body Trapped in a man's skin and a woman's mind You're not normal, the demons bawled Robbed of her innate childhood smile Free, she dreams of being free Amidst mockery and exclusion She wants to be free, totally free And obey the heart Love him, love her Ignore all religion That doesn't allow you to love Love him, love her Raise the multicolor Long live diversity Harsh oppression that hides among the mockery The contempt and ignorance of a medieval brain Who the fuck are you? To interfere in other people's lives Fuck reactionaries I always loved freedom Free, dream to be free Amidst mockery and exclusion Wants to be free, totally free And obey the heart Love him, love her Ignore all religion That doesn't allow you to love Love him, love her Raise the multicolor Long live diversity Don't talk about revolution Don't talk about fraternity If you mock her sexuality again What kind of rebellion do you pretend to extol? If you forget freedom again For freedom, for freedom, diversity is fundamental For freedom, for freedom Diversity is fundamental For freedom, for freedom Diversity is fundamental For freedom, for freedom Diversity is fundamental Love him, love her Ignore all religion That does not allow you to love Love him, love her Raise the multicolor Long live diversity ```
