Pixel Scroll 5/27/17 She’s A Pixel Queen, Dynamite With A Laser Beam, Guaranteed To Scroll Your Mind

(1) SLATOFF’S NEW COMMISSION. Christopher Slatoff, the sculptor who did the Ray Bradbury-themed Father Electrico statue, will see his war hero memorial unveiled in Pasadena on Memorial Day.

(2) THIRD FIFTH FOR DOCTOR WHO? The BBC dropped a hint: “Doctor Who: new info suggests plans stretch to series 15”.

Essentially, BBC Worldwide has put out a press release to announce a new deal with a Chinese media company, and one paragraph of the press bumf seems to suggest that the Beeb is planning for Doctor Who – in its current, post-relaunch state – to run until at least its fifteenth series.

The MOU comes on the back of a content deal that BBC Worldwide also signed with SMG Pictures yesterday evening. The deal will see the entire catalogue of Doctor Who including spin-offs, Torchwood and Class available on popular TV channels and on-demand platforms all over China.

The deal not only covers Showrunners Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat’s Series 1- 10, but also incoming Showrunner Chris Chibnall’s yet-to-film Series 11, as well as a first look for Series 12-15. [Emphasis added.]

(3) CRITICAL OMISSION. The Wachowskis probably thought they were breaking barriers, but they’re exhibit A in Riki Wilkins commentary for the Advocate, “Today’s Sci-Fi Oddly Adheres to Strict Gender Norms”.

The Wachowski sisters’ remarkable Netflix series, Sense8, is now in its second season. It is an elaborate envisioning of another race of humanoids, homo sensorium, who communicate telepathically and live among us.

These come in “clusters” that are scattered around the world, and from its opening credits, Sense8 is careful to present the viewer with the enormously diverse quilt that is humanity itself. The opening credits roll over a stunning montage of multicolored crowds, couples, celebrations, and rituals from around the globe (yes, the show has a break-the-piggybank travel budget).

The cluster of eight we follow is diversity itself — a Kenyan, a German, an Indian, an Icelander, people of color, a Brazilian gay man, and a Bay Area transgender woman. In nearly every episode, a cluster character denounces humanity’s unfortunate propensity to fear and oppress those we see as different, as the “Other.”

And yet…

Not a single genderqueer person anywhere. Not in this cluster. Not in the others. Not in any character they interact with. Even the crazy underground computer hacker named Bug is, like everyone else, quite gender-normative.

Apparently gender difference is the Other that must not speak its name. And this is from a team where not one but both siblings have bravely and publicly transitioned to be trans women. Et tu, Lana and Lilly?

Moreover, all of this occurs in science fiction, a genre invented to let creative imaginations run wild with possibility. Apparently veering from the gender binary is not among the possible. And in this, Sense8 is hardly alone….

…It is sadly to be expected that cisgender people cannot imagine us. But it is beyond sad that even when we are behind the camera and behind the typewriter, as with Sense8, we cannot imagine us either….

(4) PHOENIX COMICON UPDATE. Yahoo! News tells who the guman’s target was and quotes a statement from the actor —

Original ‘Power Rangers’ star Jason David Frank has had a bit of a close shave, as a lone gunman headed to Phoenix Comic Con with the intention of killing him.

A heavily-armed man — identified as 31-year-old Matthew Sterling — arrived at the convention on Thursday claiming to be ‘The Punisher’ with a plan to kill numerous ‘bad’ cops as well as the original Green Ranger, who was appearing at the comic con…

But why did he want to kill the Green Ranger?

It’s unclear why Sterling took umbrage against Jason David Frank, despite his claims that he previously stabbed the Green Ranger in a separate altercation.

Those claims seem to be entirely fabricated.

“I don’t know this individual, but I will pray for him,” said Frank in an interview with Fox News, adding that the alleged stabbing never took place. “I think if you mention ‘stabbed’, and I haven’t been stabbed, the story speaks for itself.”

According to Maricopa County Deputy Attorney Ed Leiter, the man was also planning to attack a number of other individuals, whose identities have not been released.
“He exhibited a dramatic threat to the community beyond police officers, beyond Jason David Frank,” he explained. “A number of other people were referenced as possible targets or people he wanted to kill….

 

(5) DENOUEMENT. Yesterday, after N.K. Jemisin publicly posted that she had asked Felicity Harley not to post the results of Harley’s interview with her, host site The Writing Cooperative took down the post and apologized.

(6) TO TWEET OR NOT TO TWEET. Lots of fans are tweeting about things they’re hearing on convention panels this weekend. But here’s a bit of social media etiquette I haven’t seen before —

(7) WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. However, it seems a shame to have missed this one —

(8) COMING TO AMERICA. Oft discussed in File 770 comments, Kinder Eggs will soon be available in the United States.

Kinder Eggs are coming to the U.S. — legally. The hollow chocolate egg with the toy surprise inside has not been allowed in the states due to a 1930s law banning candy with non-food objects inside, though fans of the European treat have previously smuggled them in.

(9) TRIVIAL TRIVIA

(10) TODAY IN HISTORY

  • May 27, 1988 Killer Klowns From Outer Space opens in theaters.

(11) TODAY’S BIRTHDAY BOYS

  • May 27, 1911 — Vincent Price

Well, most of them. The issues #185 to #228, from 1967 to 1968, anyway.

All the news that fit, back in the day…

Not to be confused with any other SF WEEKLY, including ones published decades later. Nor with anything to do with San Francisco, or Suomi Finland.

Scanned in by a bunch of people, especially Mark Olson!

(14) PUPPY REDUX. People keep sending me links to Chris Chan’s day-late and several-dollars-short “‘No Award’: The Hugo Awards, Sad Puppies, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy Literature”. It might be a cure for low blood pressure. If you’re not suffering from that I recommend skipping it, or Chan will have you suffering from something else.

(15) GRAPHIC EXAMPLES. According to the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, “Graphic Novels Are Trending in English Departments, and That’s a Problem”.

Many English departments are now beginning to offer courses on graphic novels, which integrate text and visual imagery. Graphic novels are increasingly studied alongside traditional literature, in some cases supplanting more standard text-based curricula.

For example, one course at UNC Chapel Hill titled “The Visual and Graphic Narrative”can be taken to satisfy the literary appreciation part of a student’s general education requirements. (Students are only required to take one literary appreciation class.) The university also offers a course titled “Comics as Literature”as a first-year seminar.

Given these courses’ rising popularity among students, administrators and instructors may view them in terms of their ability to renew student interest in the humanities. But while graphic novels do have artistic merit, and are of aesthetic interest, the rise of undergraduate courses on graphic novels is problematic.

One reason is that the majority of graphic novels tend to advance political agendas. The graphic novels found on course syllabi and on reading lists often deal with controversial political issues such as social justice, immigration, gay rights, etc. This is part of a larger trend in the humanities, where focus often is on oppression and identity politics.

For example, Ursinus College assigns the widely acclaimed and controversial Fun Home by Allison Bechdel in undergraduate literature courses. Bechdel’s graphic novel is written as memoir, and discusses her experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family. The reader follows Bechdel as she learns about her father’s homosexuality and her lesbianism.

Another graphic novel, Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick, also is a popular choice on university syllabi and has been described as an “intersectionally feminist text.”The book is about “a woman’s failure to comply with her patriarchal overlords….

(16) LOGAN. From last March, the stars of Logan appeared on the BUILD series.

Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart come to BUILD to dish on the anticipated film, “Logan.” The film tells the tale of a weary Logan taking care of an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. Although Logan attempts to remain hidden from the world, a young mutant soon changes what he had planned. Join us when they take the stage

  1. “Twitter isn’t really the issue. A panelist who objects to being discussed by others could have made the same complaint about MySpace in 2007, AOL groups in 1997 or CompuServe forums in 1987.”

    I do not agree. Twitter has 300 million users, it’s impact is enormous, it is quoted by newspapers, info is spread out on blogs everywhere. It is a platform where harassment and stalking is widespread and from where it will reach individual persons.

    I’m quite sure you caught hell from pros in the 80s. That is an enormous difference from catching hell from pros, unknowns, indifferents and professional harassers, people who sometimes have absolutely no idea of who you are, what the panel was or never heard of the convention before. And thousands of them.

    “The same goes for panelist expectations, doesn’t it? Any audience today is full of social media users. “

    It is up to the convention. If it decided to accomodate the panelists, then it is up to the audience to take the agreement or not. If it didn’t decide to accomodate the panelists, it would be up to them to be panelists or not.

    In neither case is it “inherently immoral”.

  2. Hampus: From Vlad’s markings, I’m thinking he’s a bengal, or maybe a mix. If so, prepare yourself for a lifetime of strenuous fun. We have a rescue I suspect to be a Siamese-bengal cross, and it’s really something to witness a 17-pound, no-neck ex-tomcat romp. And when he’s feeling cuddly, a single lap isn’t really enough–he spills over.

  3. It is up to the convention. If it decided to accommodate the panelists, then it is up to the audience to take the agreement or not. If it didn’t decide to accommodate the panelists, it would be up to them to be panelists or not.

    If there was an agreement announced before the Dave Truesdale Worldcon panel not to talk about it on social media, do you think it would have been honored?

    In neither case is it “inherently immoral”.

    Don’t know who you’re quoting there, but it wasn’t me. I never said anything about morality.

  4. “If there was an agreement announced before the Dave Truesdale Worldcon panel not to talk about it on social media, do you think it would have been honored?”

    Maybe, maybe not? But you chose an outlier with a panelist that misbehaved on purpose. The real question is: Would people have honoured the agreement if the panelist did not misbehave?

    “Don’t know who you’re quoting there, but it wasn’t me. I never said anything about morality.”

    It is from the comment from Hyman Rosen, the one I initially commented on.

  5. Twitter has 300 million users, it’s impact is enormous, it is quoted by newspapers, info is spread out on blogs everywhere. It is a platform where harassment and stalking is widespread and from where it will reach individual persons.

    You seem to think that if a convention panelist’s controversial remark wasn’t tweeted, that would make a difference in whether it went viral.

    If something said at a con goes viral, it’s going to happen with or without it beginning on Twitter. Plenty of SF/F fandom controversies have blown up after being covered on File 770. Some of them were about something people said.

    Ultimately, if a con panelist says something outrageous, it’s going to be spread whether it originated on Twitter or not, and whether people were asked not to tweet. In our culture today a middle school teacher giving insulting joke awards to her honors class can circle the globe in 24 hours.

  6. “Ultimately, if a con panelist says something outrageous, it’s going to be spread whether it originated on Twitter or not, and whether people were asked not to tweet.”

    Why do you assume that this no-twitter ban is about stopping the spread of reactions to outrageous comments?

  7. But you chose an outlier with a panelist that misbehaved on purpose. The real question is: Would people have honoured the agreement if the panelist did not misbehave?

    The belief that Truesdale misbehaved is no different than any other belief that a panelist said something offensive.

    I think an audience member who takes offense at a comment is going to talk about it on social media, whether or not the panelist attempted to negotiate a no-tweet agreement beforehand. It’s silly to put forward the idea that people can speak in public to a crowd and expect a cone of silence.

    The no-tweet policy that sparked this discussion came from a communications organization. I think any professional in the field of communications who tells people that they can speak candidly in public and escape the reach of social media is committing malpractice.

    Why do you assume that this no-twitter ban is about stopping the spread of reactions to outrageous comments?

    Because outrage — deserved or undeserved — is the main thing that makes something go viral.

  8. My impression is that the presenter requesting no social media broadcasting is not about trying to stop offensive or controversial statements from being publicized.

    It’s about respecting the presenter’s intellectual property. If someone is showing slides from a lengthy study they have conducted, or in-depth research they have performed, or doing a reading of a not-yet-published work, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for them to ask audience members who have paid to be there not to propagate the information to those who haven’t paid for that privilege.

    Of course, they will certainly be aware that doesn’t mean that everyone will respect their request, and know that there’s no way to stop someone from being an asshole. But they can ask, and if they’re fortunate, their audience members will have the courtesy to respect their wishes.

    Scalzi did a lengthy reading from the as-yet-unpublished The Dispatcher at Sasquan. He explained that it was intended as a treat for those who came to his panel, and requested that it not be shared with people who were not there. As far as I could tell, his request was honored and no one did.

    The people I know, or know of, who identify as nonbinary do care about gender.

    Oh, sure. I didn’t mean to suggest anything different. I was only trying to say that my experience seemed to me to differ both from those who feel actually misgendered in some way and from those to whom gender isn’t important (I do know several people who have said as much to me). In either case there could be a lot of different circumstances behind those generalized feelings, and many labels people might choose for themselves. I did not at all mean to equate “nonbinary” with “not caring about gender.”

  10. @Charon D. & @Mike Glyer: Great Pixel Scroll title!

    @Lisa Goldstein: ROFL at your Puppy history “Beverly Hillbillies” riff!

    @Greg Hullender: “metasexual” sounds very similar to “metrosexual” – possibly confusing?

  11. I was at a Skeptics con where we were requested to not share photos of the slides of a particular session, and to mention when discussing off-line with others that the work was submitted to a journal but not yet peer-reviewed. Was completely reasonable in that case.

  12. Errolwi: I was at a Skeptics con where we were requested to not share photos of the slides of a particular session,

    And nobody at a Skeptics convention was even a little doubtful about this?

  13. @rcade: “Neither my editor Maggie Thompson nor I thought there was an expectation of privacy in what you say to a crowd at a con.”

    Yes, and that’s why people should speak up if they don’t want to be quoted, etc. Catching hell at a public event when nothing was said to the contrary seems ridiculous. But “don’t quote me, but…” or “well, off the record…” – that’s another thing and should be respected, generally speaking, I feel.

    Exceptions noted, of course. E.g., someone trying to use a policy like the one at #6 as a shield to break event policies with impunity – nope. The policy should be clear on this (no idea if theirs is or not).

    @Bill: If one doesn’t ask up front, there’s little point in asking after it’s too late. ::eyeroll::

    @Mike Glyer: 😉

  14. Missed the edit window, but I’m still thinking about the “don’t share” or “don’t quote” stuff, which does seem to fit better in an environment where there’s NDA-like things being shared by the presenter/panelist (more common at a professional conference than at a SFF con, though @JJ’s example is a good one, of course). Still, it’s so easy to quote without context, so I am sympathetic to people who prefer to just not be randomly quoted. Hmm.

    #HugoWatching: I just watched the first “Stranger Things” episode. I didn’t realize it was horror(ish), darn. Also, it’s a little trite (zlfgrevbhf zbafgre, rfpncrq rkcrevzragrr be jungrire, Frpevg Rivy Tebhc, etc.), if fairly well done. I presume it gets less trite (and I hope, less horror-ish), since it’s gotten love from Filers and it’s got a Hugo nom. Anyway, only one episode so far – too soon to judge. 😉

    The “Black Mirror” episode was good! I’m not sure how much more short form BDP items I’ll be able to see, though. We had some freebie HBO stuff – not sure if it’s still there or it expired. And I don’t see the Doctor Who episode being replayed on channels we get (and it’s not on Netflix). Time to check YouTube.

  15. @steve davidson:

    our local McDonalds had replaced their traditional cash registers with electronic monstrosities that had a whole bank of pictograms – small fry, medium fry, large fry, big mag, fish-whatever – so that the illiterate could work the damn thing.

    This was incorrect when Bova complained about icons instead of text on car lights in the 1970’s, and it’s no more correct retrospectively. Text is bound to a language; icons are not. I’ll bet McDonalds even back then was seeing a lot of hardworking people who had enough spoken English to get by but were shaky on written English. That lawn needs stomping on.

    @Hyman Rosen: there’s a corner with Richard Stallman et al in it somewhere around the net….

  16. Two additions to the to tweet or not to tweet: one of the first conferences I attended (the SF one at Provo, UT) back in 1990 maybe had Robin McKinley as a GOH. During her talk, there was this irritating clacking noise going on, and she stopped to ask what it was. A fan raised her hand: she had a laptop (or whatever it was called back then) and was transcribing what McKinley was saying for reproduction in her fanzine. Note this fan intended to get her whole talk.

    I type fast enough that I can more or less catch what someone is saying as they are saying it: I’ve done so when I was the chair of the human subjects meeting, as well as at other meetings–everybody knew I was doing it, and it was for official minutes. I’ve also taken pretty extensive notes at academic conferences for putting in a FB group for the group or on my journal–again people knew it.

    McKinley noted that she had requested no recording or picture taking; the fan protesting saying it was different, but eventually agreed to stop. I was mostly glad for the irritating noise to stop, although I could also see McKinley’s point–a full transcription was a bit much than a description based on memory.

    So yeah, it predated Twitter.

    And here’s a link to a blog entry discussion guidelines at academic conferences. (Provo was a long-standing conference that had both sf fans and academics attending).

    http://blogs.egu.eu/network/palaeoblog/2014/11/13/lets-have-a-discussion-about-live-tweeting-academic-conferences/

    The conferences I attend encourage tweets: there are conference hashtags, etc. (One conference had tables with chargers set up at the back of the rooms to make it easier to post on social media–and, again, these are all academic conferences.)

  17. (15) Politics, in writing? Unthinkable! Now excuse me while I crack open Hard Times.

    (I know, I know, I’m late and everyone else has already said it, but sweet Jesus I don’t think it’s a point that can really be overstated)

  18. “I was at a Skeptics con where we were requested to not share photos of the slides of a particular session, and to mention when discussing off-line with others that the work was submitted to a journal but not yet peer-reviewed. Was completely reasonable in that case.”

    And I was at a fair for alternative sexuality this weekend where mobile phones were forbidden absolutely everywhere, not only at panels, shows or lectures. And it was respected. And completely reasonable.

    I absolutely think there are panels where there might be good reasons to not have social media.

  19. I don’t think we own the rights to a picture taken of us in a public place

    Laws may vary between countries, but at least in Germany you have the right do decline a publication of your picture (and putting it online is a form of publication) -and I know man famous peoiple exert this right in regard of their family members. It isnt clear-cut however, there are exceptions, for VIPs (panel guest may or may not fall under that) or if you are just happen to be part of the scenary (which does not apply to the panel guests, but to the visitors I suppose)

    Also: What JJ said about IP

  20. It’s about respecting the presenter’s intellectual property. If someone is showing slides from a lengthy study they have conducted, or in-depth research they have performed, or doing a reading of a not-yet-published work, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for them to ask audience members who have paid to be there not to propagate the information to those who haven’t paid for that privilege.

    That’s a fair consideration, but most of what we’re talking about would fall into fair use. When people talk about a panelist’s comments (or work) they are sharing short quotes or paraphrasing.

    I think the assumption is that permission is required to share a panelist’s presentation in full, either in text or video. I’m arguing against the assumption becoming that permission is required to quote them at all.

    In any case, your Scalzi anecdote reminds me of a few times I’ve been present when an author has offered a reading with a request to not share it. I can’t recall an instance where people broke that.

    I’d be surprised if that held when an author like GRRM or J.K. Rowling shared a major plot point of an upcoming work.

  21. I just watched the first “Stranger Things” episode. I didn’t realize it was horror(ish), darn. … I presume it gets less trite (and I hope, less horror-ish), since it’s gotten love from Filers and it’s got a Hugo nom.

    I wouldn’t say that it becomes less horrorish, but there’s enough of a Spielbergian SF vibe to round it out. I found the whole season fascinating. The creators make a surprising late-season twist with one male character (Fgrir Uneevatgba) that rejects a story trope we’ve all seen countless times before.

    One thing I disliked about the show after watching it in full: Gur sngr bs gur birejrvtug byqre grra Oneo Ubyynaq vf gerngrq yvxr vg qbrfa’g znggre jura gur bgure zvffvat puvyq va gurve fbpvny tebhc vf gur znwbe sbphf bs gur punenpgref.

    @Kendall

    The horror-ish elements don’t overwhelm the show but they do keep on popping up. I wouldn’t so much describe the other elements as trite as “pre-loved 80s plot elements.” 🙂

  23. @rcade & @Mark (Kitteh): Thanks, and I’ll come back to read the ROT-13 stuff after I’ve seen the other 7 episodes. Speaking of which, I should go watch another one or two now, I suppose.

    “pre-loved 80s plot elements.”

    LOL.

    What Mark said. Those elements are intentional, as is the 80’s setting – sort ‘we always loved these cliches, let’s do them again!’ So a lot of the love is nostalgia 🙂

  25. 3) This is a new set of ideas breaking out, so of course there’s going to be confusion and misstepping and mistakes and some of what we are so. damn. certain about is going to look foolish (if it’s remembered at all) in a hundred years, just like androgyny was so obvious and then got dissed in an Adrienne Rich poem and now where are we?

    6) I can’t find the interview (and the Google search for it puked up something horrid, so I’ve lost heart to keep looking) where Leslie Jones talked about the difficulty of trying out new and adventurous material in the current hyperconnected environment, where there aren’t any small crowds, just small audiences.

  26. I’ve live-tweeted panels at cons before, primarily as a means of propagating information at an informational panel for folks who weren’t able to attend, but I’ve always asked the panelists beforehand. I feel that it’s unfair to them to simply assume that anything they say to one audience is automatically intended for everyone in the world.

  27. (14) Several days ago I left a comment over at NerdHQ pointing out that self-serving slates are bad, that the Sad Puppies slate was self-serving, but irrelevant because of the Rabid Puppies slate, and it’s still awaiting moderation. It makes me wonder whether they’re just slow because NerdHQ is a business and they were all off over the long weekend, or if Chris Chan just doesn’t want any rebuttals to his white-washing of the Sad Puppies.

  28. It looks like NerdHQ just doesn’t want anyone to provide a rebuttal to his white-washing of the Sad Puppies. I’m not surprised…
