hang on I've just connected some astoundingly obvious dots. what the ghost is so silly and has such hammy production because georgie "no fear" barker decided to make a podcast in the one genre that she physically cannot understand. basira said it took a "weird turn" in season three, I bet georgie got a bunch of feedback on early episodes that some content was genuinely too scary to really enjoy so she dialed it way back and landed firmly in the silly zone, unable to detect the pleasantly spooky sweet spot.

georgie's problem is that she really wants to lead a normalcore life devoid of outstanding perils but her tastes are too goth for her own good. she runs a horror podcast. she worked directly with an anglerfished sound tech and described her as a reliable professional. she is exclusively attracted to deeply haunted self destructive little meows meows whose number one hobby is breaking into cursed buildings to get even more haunted.

like twice a year I'll see people post excerpts from an interview with an actor where they say "this is how I empathize with this really awful character I play" and make it out like this actor is a fucked up and evil person for thinking their character's actions are justified but like. that is simply how acting works. you have to get inside your character's head and understand why they think what they're doing is the best course of action. otherwise all villainous characters would have completely untethered and incomprehensible performances. almost 100% of the time when these actors say they "empathize" with their characters they mean it in the literal sense, that they have done the work to understand and simulate their internal states, not that they agree with them.

the word “queer” being used by someone who uses that word to describe their own experience of love and their cherished community should not ever sound the same to you as it does coming out of the mouth of a homophobe. acting like these two types of people are the same is unbelievably cruel

Adding on once again: there is no word for our experiences that has not been used as a slur and isn’t *still* used as a slur.

My mother never said fag but she sure could say “gay” in a way that made it clear that was what she meant 🙃

“Homosexual” in the mouth of a Southern Republican US Senator is more vile than “faggot” in the mouth of a 50-year-old gay man from Seattle, where they made an attempt at one point to reclaim the word. (Unlike queer, it didn’t really work.)

Hell. “Those people” in the mouth of a homophobic mom to a closeted gay teen is probably fouler than either of those.

Just chiming in here from over on the disability side of things, where we can testify that it doesn’t matter what you call yourself, your terminology will get used as a slur by people who don’t want you to exist because you fuck up their ideas of how the world should be. So, call yourself whatever you want, and don’t yield to the people who don’t care what you’re called, because your greatest crime is existing in the first place.  They’re never going to have a polite word for you anyway.
