having to complete a series of actions in such an order that each superceding event must be done in one specific order in order to complete a seemingly trivial goal.
origin: An almost cliche riddle goes... A farmer for some reason has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. It might be to get into town for some business: you know, to sell his chicken and corn, which I am certain he is going to make a killing off of, being it one sack of corn and a singular chicken. and, oh yeah, his trusty fox. Why is this idiot bringing a fox with him? Anyway, he has a rowboat, and it can only carry him and another of his precious belongings (chicken, corn, fox). If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will invariably eat the chicken. Leave the chicken with the corn and, oops, the chicken will eat the corn. Other than by feeding the fox poison and doing it in one quuck trip, or maybe splurging for the bridge toll and carrying his wares, how does the farmer do it?

Get the rowing mug.Rowling (to rowl) is to decide retroactively that a character in a work of fiction represented a marginalized community of the creator's choosing all along, even though they had neglected to write it into the source material. In the best cases, it's a nod to a particularly beloved fanon who really want to see confirmation of popular theories where it could exist. In the worst cases, it's an attempt for creator's to appear more inclusive and progressive than they really are.
Looks like Jojo hasn't caused another uproar on twitter in a while... wonder if she will rowl someone soon. Who's left? I personally don't
Blizzard keeps rowling their characters, like how Symmetra is now canonically autistic and canonically Tracer is now a lesbian. They almost say something but neglect to mention how they should have been thinking about these traits in the first place rather than do it retroactively to look inclusive. But also, gay Tracer is cute...
