“The thing about [secret identities] is they're really only effective in three ways . They fool the general public, who zero in on the costume and fights because they're enamored and don't even think about looking deeper.

Then, where are the deniers. People who are simply grateful it wasn't their car who got pancaked by a magic troll or their coffee shop that got flooded with weirdly specific villain gases. They don't want to figure it out.”

“We often can't perform or uphold the identity category, and if we step outside the boundaries of the group, or if we question the categories of group identification and their enforcement, we can be met with hostility. Internally, we come to feel that something is fundamentally wrong with us. We end up wanting what we want to want, no longer knowing what we want or need. We just do what fits the scene. We follow the rules and more division occurs, which capitalism wants.”

“Imagination as an act required vulnerability, required that I didn't seek to master what I perceived but to respond in ways that allowed me to move and be moved by all that I encountered.”
