Diamanda Hagan/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Her deconstruction of "Memory Run":

{{quote| So, what exactly is the message here? That the body's sex can overpower the brain's gender? See, I did some reading on this story; the original author was a transexual. Now this might seem to be fairly obvious on the surface, you know, a man who gets forced to be turned into a woman, oooh. [[Fridge Logic|But, if you think about it,]] the point of transexuality is that the brain does not match the body, and the brain's more important, so therefore we must change the body to match the brain. Okay? This is the complete antithesis of this. This says, "You put the brain in another body, the brain will become accustomed to the body and it will be happy in that body." If that was the case, there would be no transexuals. This writer...has just raped their identity.}}

{{quote| "I just got finished with a family of five a few minutes ago. I beat them , raped them, I got the minions to beat them and rape them, I got them to beat and rape each other-- that was fun, let me tell you that-- then I got live scorpions and I inserted them into thier urethuras, and I made the scorpions grow to giant size, and then I made them beat and rape the scorpions-- which is hard to do when the scorpions are the size of a small Buick-- and then I had them hung, drawn and quartered, and then I fed them to the orphans in the dungeon. ''Those little basterds are never satisfied''!"}}

* In a minor but still cool showing-off-evil way, the ''Preaching To The Perverted'' review has her getting the Chick to say "[[Call Back|paaaaink]]!" by threatening to kill her dog, friends and Nella, thus marking her as the ''only'' person who can get Chick to submit.

* While reviewing the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Victory of the Daleks," she goes into a quite tantalizing possibility of how the episode's core premise could be used to make a far deeper and morally complex story: Churchill is aware of how evil the Daleks are, but doesn't care as long as they can help him win the war. So the Doctor is forced to team up with a German agent to stop them, putting Amy in quite a tight spot, as she doesn't know how bad the Daleks are, but does know how bad the Nazis are.
