@sharutiaburaddofouren Because a big part of Ubisoft's business strategy is putting out extremely deceptive Trailers that look 10 times better than the actual game, and E3 means more eyeballs on said trailers.

the primary reason i decided i wasn't going to get the vax was because i try to resist the Pig American System in as many legal ways possible but soon i found that my decision was vindicated by all the side effects and spike protein shenanigans

it's almost like if you do the opposite of what the Pig American System wants you to do, you might actually live a happy and healthy life

@ragnaroek @PepeWalnuts @hourmutt "Gender" is the hardest one to shed, because "gender" and "sex" used to be interchangeable, I don't like repeating words too much, and sex of course has multiple meanings making it the potentially the more awkward term to use.

@ChristiJunior @ragnaroek @hourmutt
avoid the terms:
heterosexual
*phobic
cis
gender
trans

these are poison pill terms subtly designed to get you to accept their framework

@coolboymew @jenny Not every game needs to be accessible for everyone. Just like JRPGs shouldn't be dumbed down so that mobile gamers can understand everything in 10 minutes, Souls games don't need to be made so easy that game journalists can finish them.

Someone sent me this claiming they took it themselves. Photo of the NYC Metro threatening passengers with state terrorism if they misgender troons on the subway.

If I said "Politician X better do what I want or he'll become past tense" I'd probably get a visit from the feds.

(In response to a question on YT asking me about the new pride flags).

Both the hoist-side triangle and the + brown/black stripe flags are hideous. I don't know how to describe it better. The rainbow is a natural phenomena, and is pretty. It does a good job of positively representing concepts like "diversity" and does so in a fun way. It's such an infectious icon that whenever you see a rainbow you just assume now it's a gay related organization.

Painting shit brown and baby colors, especially altogether, just is an eyesore. What does brown on the rainbow flag even mean? Brown gay people?? Why does that need its own flag? We already assume black people can be gay. Who needs to be told otherwise?

The trans flag itself is hideous and confusing. It looks like something rotting. I see dead blue skin, pink exposed flesh, and white pus. It doesn't represent transition to me. All those other sexuality flags are cheap imitations of a once-great idea, and only in that shared concept of "cheap imitation" does it accurately represent what it tries to.

Neo-liberal movements are broad and confusing. There's so many conflicting groups trying to share one house that it cannot be accurately represented. Which is why there's also no good conservative flags, except perhaps the Gadsden, which itself says nothing but "I don't like the government and I will defend myself".

Purityfagging is the dumbest shit. “You can’t be one of us unless you’re exactly all these things.” If we have the same ideologies why the fuck do you care what I do in my personal life? Better question is where does that shit end?

@xianc78 exactly, just because your sexuality is often plastered on the rainbow flag doesnt mean we have to support that flag. People often assume you support that set of morals because of it and its sick.
