I don't know if it's constructive to label *all* homophobes/transphobes as repressed. I have a hard time applying that reasoning to other types of hatemongers, such as racists or misogynists.

I think Walsh just has a sugardaddy oligarch or two that is obsessed with transphobia.

A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

The frog is sweating.

The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature.

“He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs.

All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

"What are you gonna do, set me on fire?"

Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

Her anger then flared when Mr Loader told her she should stay in the kitchen making scones where she belonged, and not to go drinking with boys.

She left the table where they were drinking to collect a five-litre container of petrol from her garage, and poured it on Mr Loader before waving around her lighter.

Mr Loader said, "Go on, do it," before Walpole set him on fire.

I'm talking about the green screen itself, plus whatever morph suits people might wear, not the CGI overlaid upon it.

An organization known as the Obligati. Most of its members, from top to bottom, are in it for money for one reason or another. Either to amass greater wealth or to escape the horrible debt that they have found themselves in. For them, the only crime in high treason or fraud is getting caught.

I am returning to my TTRPG roots with a game I originally designed 3-4 years ago but never released.

RITE is a #TTRPG #zine game? experience? ritual? where up to four players take on discrete roles to create sacraments for midwinter.

global warming if it counts as an event. The attempts to cover up an impending disaster for the sake of profit/personal gain. some manifestation of environmentalism is common in my games.

personally I'm a fan of the double edge sickle for the primary. tons of damage output, both to the enemy and yourself. I think it's the only gun that actively sets the user on fire.
