People will really look at a story about fascist bureaucracy and its tendency to work against itself due to the individual self-interest inherent in the fascist program and think it's a story about girlboss feminism because it focuses on a woman
@coriander what story are you talking about
@aescling Specifically one of the stories is about a supervisor of the Imperial Security Bureau who happens to be a woman and I've seen some TAKES about it

@coriander now idk if this would ever be a story WORTH writing but i wonder if it might ever be appropriate to write a story critiquing girlboss feminism adopted into and in service of contemporary fascism
feels plausible to me but i don't even know if there’s even really like, This Is A Thing That Happens
@aescling I think that COULD be a really interesting story to tell, yeah, examine the co-opting of seemingly revolutionary ideology and aesthetics in service of fascism, which is a known tactic
But that's not even what this story was doing, literally nothing in the story was saying anything feminist beyond "Women have internal lives"
