@Indigo @applejack @LukeAlmighty haha that's funny, i was talking to luke yesterday about that exact same thing. there's a good chance i'd have a gender identity crisis if i was an actual zoomer instead of just a borderline one.

i think there are a lot of societal/cultural issues that people like to cover up with pretty dressings or diversions instead of looking at the actual truths because they can get uncomfortable to address.

gonna go see that gran turismo movie with my mom tomorrow. she asked if there was any movies that were out i wanted to see and that's literally the only one that looked appealing lol.

@Indigo @applejack @LukeAlmighty yeah stuff like that is why i'm not further on the progressive scale probably. i'm legally pro-choice but not morally. i think adults should be able to do whatever they want to themselves and with each other, but only as long as it isn't in public and doesn't introduce some legitimate safety concerns (for instance, smoking indoors or drinking and driving). i also think that treating things that aren't normal as if they were is really psychologically damaging, for instance being trans is way more trendy than it ought to be and i think it really fucks people over. i view that sort of thing from a very humanist angle, rather than one of raw freedom. i'll acknowledge people's right to do what they want, but that doesn't mean i have to support it in any way. people don't always know exactly what is actually best for them, and that goes 100x more for children.

@LukeAlmighty @Indigo @applejack nah that makes sense, the progressive movement is actually very focused on liberty. it just doesn't come across very well because a lot of those social justice types aren't genuine about it, they want liberty for themselves but not for anybody else. if the test included a question that was like "i want my ideological enemies to have less rights" or something then you would see a lot of those people no longer being aligned with true liberty.

@Indigo @applejack @LukeAlmighty this might be definitive proof that the whole "left vs right" culture war thing is a scam :thonktinfoil:

@veru my only piece of advice is to only update through f.e and not on your own xD

@ChristiJunior there was certainly some voter fraud going on as well lol xD i'd suggest the best way to combat that in the future be to only count text reply votes from accounts older than a month old or something, but that would require a lot more work for something that's ultimately just supposed to be for fun. i'm the kind of person that would get that autistic but i don't expect anyone else to xD

none of my nominations got put into the tournament but i fully expected that, given the girls themselves and fedi in general. i also thought a lot of the outcomes were based on contrarianism but i guess that should be expected too. it might be fun to put these characters through the same bracket in a chat-gpt tournament, where they get placed in a random location and have to fight each other to the death or something xD much like this tournament dougdoug did with male video game characters a while back: youtube.com/watch?v=PwY-jVSM-f

it's okay, my vidya waifu will always be the best in my heart. even if she's a furry.

@veru i'd recommend setting it all up on your own since this method can lag a bit behind on updates, and if you do it yourself you can update things immediately when they're present.

but you can check out fediverse.express if you're just looking for a simple way to make an instance! :) i tried making a misskey one at first and there were some unique features there, but ultimately i went with pleroma.

then the people i made the instance for stopped using it. i updated it manually at one point to fix something, and then something else broke because of a regression in that update, so i tried to update automatically through f.e but the way it sets up the initial install is really weird so since i had done some manual tinkering it fucked the entire instance.

if i ever make another one i'll probably do it by hand.
