Hi #gamedev folks, if I wanted to make a game like Papers Please what would I use?

Ideally something that can be run in a browser.

@LukeAlmighty Gender stereotypes were originally beginning to be broken with stuff like guys being able to like pink. I'm really not diehard conservative on that front, I think femboys are fine just as much as tomboys are. It just seems to me that liberals looped right back to those gender stereotypes of "if you act like a girl, you must be a girl" and then took it to an extreme. It's a weird situation where it's kind of trendy to be unique, but by following the trend you are not all unique, you are just doing it to be perceived as such.

It's important to realize that you can be feminine while still being a guy and being comfortable with that. Treating a mental disorder with a physical change to your body is very damaging and doesn't really fix the mental disorder, just stifles it momentarily. This is why so many transgender people end up killing themselves (or attempting to) and it is strikingly similar to depression being treated with anti-depressants (that literally say you may feel suicidal as a side effect).

These are people who have been very damaged by influential people in their lives, so much so that they truly believe that damaging themselves more is the solution to the problem, when I think the actual solution is to be with people that actually make you happy and want the best for you, to unpack your insecurities and trauma and learn to be comfortable in your own skin, not somebody else's, and not somebody else's idea of what being comfortable means.

There was a trans girl I knew in high school who said she felt horrible every time she looked in the mirror, and saw something that wasn't her. I offered her advice, saying that the best way to fix that would be to change her perception and her mindset, rather than changing her body. All of her friends and even one of the teachers jumped down my throat and I got effectively "canceled" from publishing in the school newspaper for that. These monsters don't actually care about what these people are struggling with, this identity crisis that is likely due to trauma, they only care about looking good to their peers and appearing to be these champions of "trans rights" and such. When all of your "friends" are rushing to your aid to complete validate your problems, no matter how ugly they are, they are not really your friends... but people who have attachment/abandonment issues or other traumas/social deficiencies, and especially young people like that, don't know that. Of course they don't, and they won't find out until stuff comes crashing down because they have no real guidance.

Are you transgender?

You have been manipulated into believing you are someone you are not. It's totally cool to be a guy or girl that doesn't fit traditional gender stereotypes, and this used to be a huge talking point of liberals who realized that not everyone fit into the same mold. We have different personalities, and it isn't worth trading your individuality to permanently damage yourself. There is a certain point where fighting against toxicity has become toxic, as we can clearly see with the whole JK Rowling situation, but nobody wants to admit it or see it because they feel like it would be admitting defeat or that we would suddenly return to the old ways or something. I see transitioning to a different gender as putting a band-aid over a much bigger societal problem of poor mental health being commercialized and sensationalized and it's not something any good society ought to champion. There needs to be a point where this stops, and while I'm cool with people doing whatever the hell they want to do with their own bodies if they are informed and prepared enough to make that kind of decision, I'm not okay with that decision directly affecting other people negatively and I honestly do really hate to see mental illness be treated with such disgustingly trendy behavior.

There is a genuine concern about many young girls and boys growing up in a dystopian and confused society and not getting the proper guidance they need. I don't want women having their spaces invaded and their accolades taken from them by biological males because it is an undeniable fact that there are differences between the two and the vast majority of women will never be as physically capable as a man is in a lot of areas. You can be all for wanting transgender people to get the help they need (which I'm convinced is, for the vast majority of the time, just some proper guidance and healing from trauma, not mutilating your body) while also not wanting other people to be negatively affected by someone with a mental disorder just because it was politically correct for that to happen. I can't even begin to imagine how painful it would be to train really hard for a swim meet just to have a biological man come and take it from me, if I were a woman. They stand no chance.

you know what fuck uncle ted. I love technology and I’m tired of pretending I dont.

The real way to tell that climate change is a political hoax is rising temperature is always assumed to be a bad thing. As if the earth is in some kind of goldilocks state. You can't seriously tell me that miss Thunberg is seriously concerned Sweden might be a few degrees warmer.
