Wahlukile kuye nabani na endakha ndadibana naye. Ndicinga ukuba ndingafumana ngaphezulu kokonwaba kunye nawe, kodwa ukuzeyisa kwam ndinguye. Sukulandela le nto, nceda.
Uye womelela kakhulu. Ngoku lixesha lakho.
Kwelinye ixesha-obunye ubomi. Uxolo, Shepard.
Kwaye kanye, iphupha lam lokufumana intuthuzelo kwiingalo zikaSamara ngaphambi kokuba lijongane nesoyikiso esidibanisayo eluntwini latshabalala.
Masibuyele umva: Umdlalo wawukhona Iziphumo zeMisa 2 , kwaye ndandingumphathi uShepard, iqhawe lobuntu kwaye-ukuba uyabaxolela abonakalisi abathobekileyo kumdlalo owaphuma ngo-2010-kutshanje wabuyiselwa ebomini liqela lezithunzela laseCerberus. Xa ujongene nokuhlaselwa okwandayo ngabaQokeleli, uhlobo olungaqondakaliyo olujolise ekuthinjweni nasekuthinjweni kwabantu bonke ngenxa yeenjongo ezingaziwayo, ndanikwa uxanduva lokuhlanganisa iqela labalweli ababalaseleyo kumnyele, kwaye, ngokwendalo, waquka uSamara.
Ilungu leentlobo zonke zowesifazane u-Asari, uSamara wayeneminyaka eliwaka ubudala kwindalo. UJusticar ofungelweyo isifungo sakhe sanyanzelisa ukuba enze ubulungisa naphi na apho ahamba khona, amaxesha amaninzi ngezona ndlela zinoburhalarhume, ndadibana noSamara ngelixa wayelandela umkhondo wombulali oyingozi ka-Asari, ngelishwa, owayeyintombi yakhe.
Ndiwe ethandweni. Wayengenguye kuphela uSamara omnye wamagorha anamandla endakhe ndadibana nawo, kodwa wayenendawo ecacileyo ethe cwaka yenjongo eyayihlaziya emva kokuziphatha okungaqondakaliyo kweCerberus. Umphuhlisi womdlalo, iBioWare, wayenodumo kwimidlalo yevidiyo eyahlukeneyo ebandakanya iindlela ezahlukeneyo zothando, kwaye ndiyifumene.
USamara ufikelela kumanqanaba omdlalo we-trailer we-badass.
Kodwa uSamara wayesele ekwinqanaba lakhe lesithathu lobomi, ngesiqhelo ixesha apho u-Asari enziwe ngokuncamathiswa kwezothando kwaye athathe isikhundla segunya, kunye nokuzinikela kwakhe kwikhowudi yeJusticar kushiye igumbi elincinci lokulandela iimvakalelo zakhe ngam. Nokuba ndizame kangakanani, uSamara akazukuvuma ukunxibelelana awayeziva phakathi kwethu, nokuba angazophula zombini iintliziyo zethu kwinkqubo.
Konke oku kwakuqondakala, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa andinakukwazi ukuzibamba ndiziva ndidanile, ngakumbi xa ndandiqonda ukuba kuphela ngabo babedlala kunye nam abafumanekayo kum njengokhetho lothando yayingamadoda. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ndingamema u-yeoman Kelly Chambers kwigumbi lam kwisidlo sangokuhlwa, kwaye kamva ndithethe ngokungafumani ukulala okuninzi ngobo busuku, kodwa ukuba bendifuna umdlalo omkhulu, wokuphela komdlalo wokuthandana nobunzima beemvakalelo, kunye nongavulekanga Indebe yeParamour, uShepard wam bekuzofuneka abambelele kwisiphelo esisezantsi senqanaba leKinsey. (Ndigqibele ngokukhetha umbulali osisirhubuluzi, uThane Krios, endaweni yoko, inyathele intliziyo yam ngendlela eyahlukileyo, kodwa lelo libali lelinye inqaku.)
Jonga, konke endikuthethayo kukuba umntu olu sana ulungele ukhetho.
Kuvakala ngathi kukungcatshwa kwento ebendikhokelwa ukuba ndiyikholelwe yi-BioWare's ethos. Nangona isengqiqweni into yokuba uSamara angawamkeli la manyathelo am — ndiyavuma ukuba kungangumceli mngeni ukuqala ubudlelwane nomntu owayephila ngaphambi kokuba uhlobo lwam lufike kwibala leplanethi-nangona kunjalo yadlala kwindawo eyomeleleyo neyingozi ipatheni ekhoyo kwii-opera zasemajukujukwini: ukubandakanywa kwabafazi abasweleyo abasetyenziselwa ukunikezela abaphulaphuli kodwa bangaze babone amabali abo enikwa ukubaluleka kokubaliswa.
Isigqibo se-BioWare sokubandakanya kuphela iinketho zothando olungqalileyo, ekucingelwa ukuba iyimpendulo kwinkqubela phambili yenkampani xa besenza uLiara, omnye umlinganiswa ka-Asari, ofumanekayo kubo bobabini uShepard oyindoda kunye nowasetyhini kumdlalo wokuqala, ikakhulu kukubandezeleka ngenxa yokuxhaphaka le queerness yesiqingatha sentliziyo kwimiboniso efana IBhabhiloni 5 , Firefly , kunye I-Star Trek: Indawo enzulu 9 .
Kwihlabathi apho ukubhabha emajukujukwini kunye nobomi bangaphandle kwesiqhelo, umnqweno ongaphaya kokusebenza unokuthi usebenze njengolongezo lomphambukeli, omnye, enxibelelana nabaphulaphuli ukuba, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, baseKansas kwakhona. Kodwa loo queerness, ibekelwe bucala kuphela abantu basetyhini (enye into ekwabelwana ngayo ngu Iziphumo zeMisa 2 ), kunqabile ukuba nefuthe lesakhiwo nangayiphi na indlela enentsingiselo. IBhabhiloni 5 Umphathi-mkhosi u-Ivanova uyazivuma iimvakalelo zetelepathi u-Talia Winters emva kokuba ezi zabelo zibini zishushu kunye neencoko zasebusuku, kodwa kube kanye xa uTalia ekhuselekile emfanekisweni. U-Ivanova emva koko ubhangqiwe kunye nomlingiswa omtsha, oyindoda kwaye uchitha lonke olo chungechunge kwindawo ekhuselekileyo, engqingili.
Inara ukusuka Firefly ikwavumelekile ngamava amafutshane kunye nomntu obhinqileyo, kodwa enye engaphaya kokuba isetyenziswe njenge-saucy, iseti yokunxiba emdala. Umsebenzi wezesondo u-Inara ucacisa gca ukuba kunqabile ukuba athathe abathengi ababhinqileyo, kwaye ukudibana kwabafazi babini kucinywa kwangoko nguJayne, umntwana wepowusta womboniso wobudoda obunetyhefu.
Olu hlobo lokubhabha okufutshane, olungaphindwayo lusetyenziswa ngokumangalisayo njengendlela yokunyusa amanqanaba omboniso-ukuxhasa iJayne kuthi sonke, mhlawumbi- ukuba yaziwa ngokuba yiVeki yeSweeps yeLesbian Kiss kwaye ineqhayiya- igcinwe ehamba nephepha leTVTropes . Ukiss usetyenziselwa ixabiso lokothuka, kwaye iimpembelelo zalo zexesha elide zihlala zingenamsebenzi. Uluhlu oluqhelekileyo olubandakanyekayo luya kuhlala luthe tye, kwaye umlingisi weendwendwe akafane ahlale kumboniso ixesha elide. Akukho ndawo kwi-sci-fi oku kubonakala ngakumbi kunobuhlobo besiqendu esinye phakathi Indawo enzulu 9 U-Jadzia Dax kunye nesithandwa sakhe ukusuka kobunye ubomi, uLenara Kahn. Ulwalamano lwabo aluyiyo ngenxa yesini, kodwa ngenxa yokuba bobabini iTrill abadlala umgcini kwisimboli esinjenge-slug. Umamkeli ngamnye unoxanduva lokubonelela ngamava obomi obutsha, kwaye kuba abo babesibini (abathandanayo) ngaphambi komtshato, uJadzia wayevunyelwe ukuba amange kube kanye ngaphambi kokuba uLenara athunyelwe ngenqanawa.
Andonelisekanga kokumanga, Indawo enzulu 9 iphindwe kabini ngokufakwa kwesibuko. Intsalela ye Uthotho lwantlandlolo , isipili esipheleleyo yayilixesha elilinganayo apho iziganeko zembali zenzeke ngeendlela ezahlukileyo, kwaye abaphulaphuli abalungileyo babesetyenziselwa ukwenza ububi ngoku. Ithuba lamagosa e-Starfleet lokuzibandakanya ekuziphatheni okungaphandle komlingiswa, abanye babalinganiswa-nangona, kwakhona, ngabafazi bodwa-abafowunele umnxeba ngeenjongo zabo ezimbi ngokufaka enye trope ediniweyo, ngeli xesha Ukuziphatha ngokwesini . Ngokwesiqhelo-othe ngqo-abalinganiswa-ngokukodwa uKira Nerys no-Ezri Dax-baba, ekuziphatheni okubi, baba neentlobano zesini ngokugqithisileyo kwaye banomdla kubafazi ngeendlela bona, xa bekwimeko yabo yesiqhelo, yokuziphatha, kungenjalo ngekhe kube njalo.
Le patheni yomnqweno wokungakhathalelwa, umnqweno wehliselwe kwelekese engenabungozi okanye ishunqulelo yokuwohloka ngokuziphatha, ayinandawo kwihlabathi, ngeendlela ezininzi, ezinkulu kwaye zigcwele ubomi obahlukeneyo. La ngamahlabathi esenzelwe ukuba siwanqwenele, kwaye kuyadimaza ukuwabona enobutshaba kuyo nayiphi na into ngaphandle kwembono emxinwa yesini sabantu.
Ngokuqinisekileyo isiphoso esithile sinokubangelwa zii-eras apho uninzi lwala TV lwenziwa khona. Zimbalwa iinkqubo ezazizimisele ukujongana neendaba ze-LGBT ngalo naliphi na inqanaba lokuzimisela okanye ubuntununtunu, kunye nemiboniso egxile kubaphambukeli ngoku Ukunyaniseka kwaye USteven Universe benze umsebenzi ophucukileyo obonakalayo ekuhlonipheni nasekuhlonipheni abasetyhini abasetyhini. Ke kuyaphazamisa ukubona amajelo osasazo anje Iziphumo zeMisa 2 yenze gwenxa. Sonke sifanelwe ngcono luhlobo ekuthi ngokwenkcazo yalo yenzelwe ukuba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wehlabathi elitsha, ngakumbi xa uncwadi lweentsomi- luvela ku-Ursula K. Le Guin's Isandla sasekhohlo sobumnyama noJoanna Russ's Indoda eyindoda , Kwiinoveli zamva nje ezinje ngeBecky Chambers Ixesha elide Indlela eya kwiPlanethi encinci, enomsindo -Kuye kwakho ukuphonononga izimvo zesini kunye nokwabelana ngesondo amashumi eminyaka.
Ndiyadlala ngoku Iziphumo zeMisa 3 kwaye ndonwabile ukunika ingxelo yokuba ukhetho oluthandanayo lokuthandana-nokuba, yiba yintliziyo yam, ngokuba uShepard oyindoda-uyafumaneka. I-BioWare ibonakala ngathi ifundile isifundo sayo, kwaye ukuba abanye bayalandela, inokuthetha kuphela amabali angcono kuthi sonke. Zininzi kakhulu izinto ezinokubangela amabali esithuba ukuba ahlole ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumntu. Emajukujukwini, ukudibana kwethu kuvavanywa; Sijongana nezinto ezingaqhelekanga kuthi ngokupheleleyo, kwaye oko kusenza sisebenze ukuba ikamva elizayo esinokuthi sizicingele lona siphathe ubungqingqwa njengobulahlayo kwaye obungalifanelanga ixesha lethu. Ngomzamo nje omncinci, oko kunokuthetha ikamva eliqaqambileyo kubahloli bezithuba abangachanekanga kuzo zonke iintlobo.
