@deadheat @roka First time hearing about a game that has character creation?

@shebang @orekix @deadheat @roka That's the fun thing about cyberpunk settings, nobody wins. The megacorps are unbeatable, so everyone just tries to get by, and everyone wants to be the specialest snowflake of all. Stuff like HRT, SRS, prosthetics, cosmetic surgery, etc, tend to be advanced to straight up scifi levels, so manipulating any part of your appearance, even transitioning, is easy if you can afford it. It's like something out of a transhumanist dystopia, where the body is just a toy to be played with, more about rampant consumerism than actual expression - it's just another thing to take peoples minds off the corrupt corporate-ruled neo-feudalist gang-infested hellscape the world has become.
CP2077 got a lot of flak at one point, for having an in-game advertisement sexualizing a woman with a dick - was she a trans woman who kept her dick, or a cis woman who got a dick implanted? The world may never know. Either way, it was showing off how life in these settings tend to be. We already have month long Pride advertising campaigns, we already have highly sexualized ads to sell unrelated products, it isn't a stretch to imagine that once such things become socially accepted enough, and the demographic becomes large enough, corps will start pumping out ads highly sexualizing LGBT individuals too. Where there's a buck to be made, there's going to be corps fighting to sell you a product.

@kazuma@rawr-xd.club Because god's an asshole.

@kazuma@rawr-xd.club I'd rather be at its mercy, but being the beast could be fun.

White women be like, "Feeding your pets meat is unethical, pets should have vegan diets" in between declawing their cats and fucking their dogs.

@shebang He admitted to having done blackface a few times, as evidence that it was "normal" back in his day. He also accused me of being racist for supporting the PPC.
He's like the male equivalent of a Karen.

@shebang Barely a workday goes by that I don't hear a rant about Trump from at least one of my coworkers. Or why anyone who doesn't like Trudeau is racist.
The rant about why blackface actually isn't racist was a good one

Daily reminder that homosexuality is a hoax used as a convenient hook by corporations to gain client loyalty - they simply change avatars on SNS to feature multiple banded colours and post some idpol-pandering templates to gain brand loyalty. Homosexuality is an invention of marketing.

depressed rambling 

@kazuma@rawr-xd.club I know. It's just, like- sunk cost, I guess. I could have close to a decade ago and didn't, and ever since I've felt like, "Well I fucked it up already, I'm stuck on this road now". I know that's stupid and irrational. I kept trying to tell myself it'll get better, but now I know for sure it'll never just "get better". I question whether or not it'd even help. That's what scares me the most, what if I do transition and still hate everything about myself, because I can never be cis. I don't want to be "trans", I just want to be a woman, and I can't.

But, thanks. Really, I appreciate it.

depressed rambling 

I've been feeling pretty miserable lately. The older I get, the more I regret not transitioning. I tried convincing myself it was just a phase, or that I'd grow out of it, or that I could suppress it and control it, but I just can't deal with it anymore. I constantly feel like it's too late now, I've been telling myself it's too late for years, and it just keeps getting worse and worse.
Things are going so well in my life, otherwise. I used to try convincing myself it was just depression, that I was just depressed and convincing myself that my body's the problem, and once everything else got better it'd go away. But it never did. Everything else got better but that feeling was always there, no matter how good my life was. I hate this. I just want to get rid of these feelings. Why won't they just go away? Why can't I just be happy, even when everything's perfect? Why am I cursed like this?

@shebang yeah but then it'd feminize all the ftms and nonbinaries, that would be a hate crime
impossible burgers are impossible, so they don't exist. do you think Canada would ban things that don't exist? don't be silly, Canada would never do that.

@shebang It's got those xenoestrogens and shit, probably got banned
