permissions and kinks;

Short version:

• Kinsey 4 (female-leaning bisexual) who spent most of her life dating men and is kind of over that.
• Kinky when the mood is right (yes to D/s, yes to bondage, yes to many other things; no to pain) and oh my god she's such a bratty switch who's mostly a sub.
• As shipping goes: yes to Joanne of course, mm probably to Mark, sure to Mimi, bring them here to all pretty girls honestly (I'm not super into playing out explicit infidelity though, so keep that in mind with scenarios).

on reconciling facets of late-90s canon with present day settings

Not reconciling as in "shrug, they all have modern technology, go with it." I mean, unless that's all the explanation you need. I'm talking about reconciling the fact that, given that most meme-settings are going to default to present era unless otherwise specified, I feel compelled to create an alternate POV on the uses of computerized technology on Maureen's part. This is because, let's be real, no matter how much Maureen may hate technology completely taking over things that in her opinion it should not, a Maureen living in the 2010s is also all about social media and using technology to her advantage.

There's a line, okay. Virtual reality is creepy. But Instagramming pictures of cool performance spaces and cute ladygay things is totally helpful and a proletariat form of art in and of itself. Etcetera.
