Holy cow it's like a graph of gradually escalating Gender

@mcc You could probably put together a solid collection of "80s Albums That Look Like Gender Animorphs."

@mcc I hate it when they don't label the axis

@psilocervine not clear if i'm supposed to take this one as a zigzag line or a political compass

@psilocervine @mcc
Z-order >_>
Hilbert curve <_<

@mcc the best part is that aimee mann ended up looking like every trans woman who's been out for a decade and is just kinda tired

@psilocervine @mcc ikr i can't tell which is more gender and which is less gender

Wait… wait… no… I've figured it out… I've figured it out

It's a Nolan square

@emaytch Wait oh my god I had no idea that was Aimee Mann

@mcc yeah i was kind of in shock for like two days after i found out

@zackrobbin @psilocervine Does this help https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116019732087261114

@mcc This is such a peak post. Wow.

@mcc could also overlay Gartner Magic Quadrant Technology on this one

@mcc robert holmes looks like a butch lesbian. robert holmes STILL looks like a butch lesbian

@mcc

When that song played on the radio in 1985, I thought “voices carry” was “this is scary.”

I lived sure in that knowledge until like 1992.

@amorphophalex I don't know who this is. But sincerely. Good for him

@mcc Also, the phrases you used to describe their positions in the alt text is extremely good, too.

@rk what if we mashed up "voices carry… beware of darkness"

@mcc I thought I had the perfect response to this, but it turns out this is not actually christopher nolan.

@mcc I love that album. I also love the story about how the lyrics of "Voices Carry" were originally about a woman, and I've always wanted to hear Aimee sing it that way. I have it in my open mic nights rotation.
