Lots of leopards eating faces comments etc but I am curious about the extent to which the discourse has been shifted to the right by propaganda because polls show that people were more progressive until the sustained campaign

We should not assume queerphobia is a fixed state of mind

I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025.

There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!
One of the reasons it’s a problem that Democrats keep ceding ground to transphobes is that it actually just helps conservatives get more votes by not contesting any of the transphobic shit that conservatives are using as a gateway message

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this.

We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

hrt isnt scary, rle is fuckin scary, thats what kept me in the closet until i was almost 30, they still make people do it some places, like how many trans women heard about informed consent for the first time in the late '10s and went "oh shit for real?" and got on estrogen within weeks or days

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

If you or any other devs have had Steam do NOTHING to punish harassment against you or your game, then get in touch with Geoffrey.
Steam and @valvesoftware.com need to know they cannot keep turning a blind eye on their platform. If they want a monopoly, they should at least make it safe.
I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.
the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

There is no "become." People need to stop fucking acting like this is something new. We're the country of slavery, genocide, and systemic oppression so vile that we literally inspired the Nazis. None of this is new, it's what we've always been. Accept it so you can fight it.
Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

I don't actually have to have violently abusive, horrible people in my life, just because of an accident of birth. They have caused me enough suffering – thanks. Anyone trying to shame me for that can get in the sun.
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

"Transition is bourgeois decadence" said about a population that is frequently disowned, rendered houseless, discriminated against in workplaces and hiring, disproportionately represented in survival sex work, disproportionately subject to CSA and sexual violence, and frequently brutalised.

Cool.
Oh, look, it's "luxury beliefs" in a 50-cent word trenchcoat.

Being right about one genocide does not absolve you for being a shit human being toward another tiny minority of innocent people just trying to live their best lives.

again: the UK has never once taken action anything like this with regards to any medication at all whatsoever.

It is completely unprecedented for emergency powers to have been used to ban a medication for a specific group or for that to have been extended indefinitely pending (unethical) trials.
Streeting has already interfered by careful selection of “researchers” associated with a designated anti-trans hate group to carry out an unethical and pseudoscientific “trial” designed to get the result he wants.
