And also: we should be encouraging every form of resistance. Anyone contributing. We can do that while also guiding towards and educating about other forms.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Proposing marriage to someone in front of a crowd is coercion and a “yes” is not freely given consent.

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

The fact is, the conversation around trans rights _isn't_ healthy discourse - a fight for the right to exist cannot _be_ a healthy discourse. Fights over rights cannot healthy discourse in any society.

Modern framing of rights fights as something to be debated has broken society irreparably.

will this healthy discourse project change anything about allowing journalists writing articles calling for trans people to be erased, but banning palestinians in need of aid, trans people and even just people who make somewhat crude jokes

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

perhaps spending the last several decades valorizing people who willingly decided to join the military so they could go to other countries and murder brown people as "heroes" was a mistake actually

Q: There are calls for the FBI to institute a new class of domestic terrorism that involves trans ideology. Is that something the administration would support?

Hi Itch, author of the original article here. Thanks for ignoring my repeated requests to comment, and then coming out of the woodwork days later to claim that my article - which verified each game's indexing status independently - is 'full of misinformation.'

You're full of it. (thread)

itch.io @itch.io · Aug 13

This article is full of misinformation unfortunately. The games Wendy and co. are indexed: itch.io/search?type=...

I think maybe the person is confused because it doesn't show up in the autocomplete? Autocomplete only shows the top ~1000 games: itch.io/t/3361091/se...

This is the definition of "uterus" as appears at the top of a Google search when you're looking to find the meaning of the word.

...and it contains a MAJOR factual inaccuracy. Let's explain exactly what is so wrong here.

Screenshot of Google/Oxford languages definition of uterus. uterus
/ˈjuːt(ə)rəs/
noun
noun: uterus; plural noun: uteri; plural noun: uteruses
the organ in the lower body of a woman or female mammal where offspring are conceived and in which they gestate before birth; the womb.

As a reminder, when trans women got together to create an all-trans women team and then played against another all-trans women team, the usual suspects complained because that day the field could have been made available to "normal" people.

Marghost 👻 @mitildide.bsky.social · Aug 4

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.

The whole thing has grown out of a lot of mostly white complacency and implies complicity even if there isn't any blatant and direct involvement. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to separate Dropout from all of this at this point as it is a part of a larger scene and system.

larzipan @larzipan.bsky.social · Aug 4

Unfortunately, based on what the victims have been saying about how marginalized they became after the accusations, it's hard for a bystander to separate the dropout ttrpg folk from the general LA ttrpg scene, if that makes any sense? These aren't isolated cases.

In the meantime, the best thing you can do is support your friends, push back on lies and false narratives, and not let Saige and Carlos continue to get away with this. And on the note of Carlos: yes, this involves Carlos Luna, and his position at Dropout, as well

I've been close to cancelling my @dropout.tv subscription several times and never so much as to now that the victims of that racist white woman have come out (again) and to me, proven, even if by proxy, that Dropout has been enabling this bigoted behaviour from her and the other adulterer/guy.

Fine Arts major here and yes games are art. The same folks denying it now are cut from the same cloth as those who dismissed film as art a century ago. Gatekeeping never ends, just shifts the target to a new prey, so wait till the next medium drops and they’ll start this debate all over again.

Stacey Mason @stcymsn.bsky.social · Aug 4

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here.

From my dissertation:

2.1 Lenses, Not Boxes
I wondered whether this section was necessary, but games discourse seems to repeatedly find itself adrift in questions of whether _ counts as a _. We have seen
the question repeatedly: Do games count as art? Do games without goals count as games? Is The Sims a game? Are hypertexts interactive fiction? Are
Twine pieces literature? In fairness to the researchers cited here, all of whom I respect immensely, many of these sources pose or imply the question rhetorically. Still, the necessity of such a framing frustrates me.
"Is _ a _?" is, in my opinion, a fruitless question. The question can never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, and it often serves as either a provocation
to espouse politics or as a cover to institute gatekeeping. Its agenda is usually opaque
to onlookers and bewildering to those trying to advance the field from across disciplines.
We should be thinking in lenses, not boxes.
It is always more interesting to ask "If we think of _ through the lens of _, what do we learn?" We know it is more interesting to ask "What do we learn
by considering Tom Stoppard through the lens of poststructuralism?" than to ask "Is Stoppard's work poststructuralist?" And while some works may be more or less fruitful when examined through different lenses, sometimes the most unlikely pairings of lenses and objects are the most rewarding. Certainly any of the questions above would be much better served by reframing them in this way.

I saw this skeet literally right after the ones talking about banning trans men and women from chess and how a trans woman darts player is facing harassment.

larzipan @larzipan.bsky.social · Aug 4

No, it is the trans people that are wrong! /S

There are so many ways to gain advantage in sports but transing your gender and having to deal with all of the bs that comes with it in our contemporary society is not really it at all.
