Really? Are we fetishizing brain eating parasites now?

*sigh*

Look, I don’t really want to go through the modern history of sci-fi movies and how they have built up a wide variety of specific and general tropes and MacGuffins which have, in turn, been fetishized and sexualized both within mainstream entertainment, the genres of horror and sci-fi, and the MC/TF genre in particular, so let me just go ahead and point out that I am definitely not the first person to write a story with a brain-eater MacGuffin.

So, are we fetishizing this now? No, we’ve had it fetishized for years. Maybe open your eyes to the wider genre here, and pay attention to what other people write, because as much as I like educating people about the genre, your sarcastic, condescending bullshit of a question makes me want to hunt you down and pry out your eyes with a spoon.

Not really–sorry, I’m in a weird mood tonight.
