[UA] [very] Physical description of TNG

[Stuart Kenny]

I disagree with you on this one.  I don't see TNG in a positive light.  I see
her as an archetype of the negative aspects of the 60's free love movement.

She's "the woman everyone can get - everyone but you".  She isn't the woman
that everyone can love or that can love everyone, she's the woman everyone can
get - the terminology is that of a possession not a person.

Add to that, the WECGEBU is defined by another, presumably male.  If she is
alone in the forest, how can she be the WECGEBU, if there is no "you" and no
"everyone".

I don't see her as a "nymphomaniac on acid", nymphomaniacs (as I understand it)
enjoy sex.  I think TNG saw sex as a tool,  one that she used and that was used
on her.  This is one of the darker aspects of sex.  I think that it is no
coincidence that the SotNG can't have normal, healthy sex.

I see TNG as a powerless woman, used and passed around, who discovers the only
power available is in selectively refusing sex while sleeping around with
others to intensify the rejection.

This whole "discover the Goddess in yourself" stuff is, IMHO, just bunk created
by Daphnee Lee to attract converts.  I don't have high opinions on Ms Lee
either, I see her as a bitch on a power trip who created a cult to boost her
own power base.

I think that the is real resonance with the idea that the most important
ascension in recent memory is for a negative, demeaning archetype.

Other opinions are welcome.  One thing I like about UA is that while there is a
lot of established setting information, motives and morals of the GMCs are left
to individual PCs.
