TERF Statement

The TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) Community is not welcome on JUDAS. None of our writers will ever publish anything reflecting TERF or Transphobic views, and we at JUDAS will always work against the interests of the TERFs. We promise that, should any questions surface about the stances of our staff on the topic of Trans people, such an incident will be investigated and punished with no mercy. JUDAS is no place for transphobia and works to be a space for all queer people and the LGBTQIA+ community's allies.

Churches, Charnel Houses, and Catholic Repentance

So, in the 17th Century, the Portuguese were really into God. This meant that people were also really into being buried at their local church, cathedral, or other Christian-flavored places of worship. Over time, these place's cemeteries became full of bodies, and most churches resorted to stuffing skeletons behind the walls, underneath the floorboards, or just deeper into the cemetery. This meant that after a while, Iberian churches were just absolutely full of bodies, which wasn't exactly sustainable. Skeletons aren't exactly known for being that decomposable, even if their flesh vanishes pretty quickly, which led to churches literally overflowing with bones. During times of disasters and plague, churches would have to bury thousands of bodies at once, which left little room for other bodies.  The solution for this, the Portuguese Catholic establishment concluded, was bone houses, which became charnels in English. They're also known as Ossuaries in Latin, from the Lati...

Capitalism, Class Mobility, and Ratatouille

Remy, the main character in Pixar's Ratatouille, is a metaphor for the literally starving, poor artist, who feels resentment towards a capitalist society whilst trying to climb its ranks and escape poverty. My mind simply shall not be changed. In the film, Remy's family exist purely to survive, and his dad has evolved to ignore Remy's love of his art - cooking - and dismiss his passions because passions are for the rich. His father only starts to care about Remy's talents when they become economically viable, and therefore beneficial to their survival as the poor.  When you start to think of the rats as the poor, and the humans as the rich, it starts to make much more sense. Remy yearns for the human (rich) experience because they have the ability to create art and pursue their passions with no care for material expense or wasted time. This is true in our society. Whilst the rich are free to pursue passions on a whim, able to purchase expensive materials easily, the poo...

Bimbos, Barbie, Feminism, and Marxism

Bimbos were a staple of 2000s tabloid gossip, with publications across the globe using the word to degrade and put down women like Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton. In fact, a New York Post cover from the time has a picture of the three women as a backdrop to the text "Bimbo Summit." Yeah, real mature. Since then, the word fell out of fashion, along with the noun bimbofication but it was defined loosely as something along the lines of: Bimbo: an attractive but unintelligent or frivolous young woman (frivolous here meaning not having any purpose or value.) Bimbofication: used by social media users to describe when somebody becomes more attractive, has a 'glow up' or becomes more sexualised. In feminist theory, the male gaze is the act of depicting women and the world, in the visual arts and in literature, from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as sexual objects for the pleasure of the heterosexual male viewer.
