"Mia Mingus", and the first evidence of Joe's love of ugliness:
"I'm oppressed because the state won't let me fuck in public":
Queer theory is antisocial:
Unclear why this is an "unspeakable" question, but it's the most interesting bit of his whole thesis based on my "queer" ctrl+F skim of it. Of course, he doesn't fucking answer it:
I wonder if this was one of the inspirations for
Please, Miss? If so, I imagine Joe is devastated it has a
3.88 rating on Goodreads, compared to
Please Miss's 3.45:
Lads, is it queerto be Japanese?:
Aesthetics and the opera are also queer. Yawn:
Archives are queer. Double yawn:
A dozen of the instances of "queer" are just him talking endlessly about Oscar Wilde. There's also one instance of him talking about the "queerness of the moment" in regards to Japanese public executions; some more rumination on aesthetics/ugliness as central to queerness (but in such a roundabout way it makes a boring screencap).
He seems to repeatedly conflate the use of "queer" in Victorian writing about Japan (where it clearly, given both the historical context of the word and the textual context provided in the thesis itself, means "weird") with "queer" as in the modern Western Queer Theory sense. This to me would seem like bad and lazy academics, as well as a deliberate misreading of texts. He also claims (a hundred-odd pages after doing this extensively) that he doesn't want to do this - a move I'd consider bewilderingly insane if it wasn't coming from the man who repeatedly threw tantrums over not being called a woman, and then insisted he'd never wanted to be called a woman anyways despite copious evidence to the contrary:
Oops lol. Thought I was contributing brand new information. Hopefully 2024 will be released soon and we'll see that his salary continued its downward trajectory. California taxpayers really should be getting a discount on Joe.
if Joe is going that route, ok, perhaps, the japs and Wilde are quite weird and doesn’t fit the English norm. Perhaps. That is stupid but I think someone who’s not completely retarded can write a passing diss about that.
