I think it’s becoming clear how difficult this is to appreciate in certain social media bubbles: Transphobes (including terfs) read Discworld and don’t think it applies to them. Racists read Discworld and don’t think it applies to them. I’ve seen far-right MAGA hat gun-toting white supremacists talk about Discworld and they simply haven’t noticed that they’re openly being mocked for their narrow-minded bigotry with every page.

They’re out there, and they really aren’t as rare as you’d like to believe. When you believe that you’re the default setting, you can simply decide that you’re going to live in a world where you can just ignore anything that doesn’t align with your prejudices. They don’t even notice.

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m *dying* to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?” The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind that door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny. May I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk

I have never been more confident about a comparison in my entire life.

wait but actually…sisko’s baseball is his orb??? he leaves it behind as a relic and a reminder of his return, as is common for prophets and messianic figures? it’s baseball that he uses to try and explain human time to the prophets? it never leaves his desk, and its presence haunts dukat when the cardassians briefly recapture the station?? pls tell me if this is something people have talked about because the baseball as a religious relic/object/orb is blowing my mind
