Yea. I hear you loud and clear. Change doesn't happen immediately. I'll just add this conversation to the list of things to hate about myself and talk it out with people who actually know me.
December 7, 2025 at 5:50 PM
They won't. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. Just leave me alone. This is all too much.
December 7, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Sure. I'm an awful person I guess. I'll let the people around me know.
December 7, 2025 at 5:45 PM
the thing i paid for once does not actively fund anything
December 7, 2025 at 5:43 PM
I am the poor people.

I just want to play games with my friends.

I was taught to separate fantasy (games) from reality very young. I never had an issue with it.
December 7, 2025 at 5:42 PM
my actions outside of tarkov are many, and none of you are familiar with me or what those actions are

pls save your judgment for someone actively hurting others, not passively engaging in a hobby with friends
December 7, 2025 at 5:39 PM
The people who know me, that you don't know? Even if they don't play tarkov?

I'm not sure why you have to use caps here.
December 7, 2025 at 5:38 PM
I only brought it up in reference to a person we were talking about in a diff thread :/ wish i never had
December 7, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Sure. I'll just take this word of a random person to heart instead of discarding it in exchange for actual people who know me and not just one of my actions.
December 7, 2025 at 5:35 PM
I've been desensitized to such things as an american, so war footage really doesn't make me feel anything :/ that is another part about me that i am sure globally people are happy to condemn, outside of my control. so no i don't feel that you will be there, no matter what i do.
December 7, 2025 at 5:33 PM
No, I'm not, but you're not asking because you care.
December 7, 2025 at 5:31 PM
also 1.0 just dropped so wipes won't really be happening anymore
December 7, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Yea that's part of why people have so many hours in the first place.

Glad you feel good about your choice, but literally I am just a singular trans woman and my choice of playing or not playing tarkov at this point will not affect anyone but people like you two, and I think I'm okay with that.
December 7, 2025 at 5:28 PM
Not comparing the two. I'm comparing your behavior to that I've seen from those espousing purity politics, i.e. "If you do this, imagine what you must support outside of the fantasy!"

That's exactly what you're saying.
December 7, 2025 at 5:27 PM
Yea.

I know lots of trans people who also play it a lot.

Did you know that adults can do things you don't agree with and still be good people at the end of the day?
December 7, 2025 at 5:26 PM
fun fact: the game was already bought years ago

the argument here is 'don't play it'

3500 hours since 2022 is not just a game i'm willing to give up because other trans people will shame me if i don't
December 7, 2025 at 5:24 PM
Just wait til you hear about the taboo kinks people get up to, engaging purely in fantasy, while people point to evidence of thoughtcrimes very much like this

mostly trans people are crucified for that btw

if you think this is news to me or something idk what to tell you, sorry.
December 7, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Yea, I noticed in your bio that you had slav stuff

I get being upset about it but it's not exceptional in this way at all. everyone knows that BSG is run by the most dogshit people imaginable.

the enjoyment of the game is separate and frankly, is very much like a curse as it is
December 7, 2025 at 5:17 PM
It's just a game I play with my friends.

I don't think about it this hard because this stuff isn't relevant to my enjoyment of my time with friends playing these games. We are aware of the right/wrong present in the fiction, because we are all adults.

Don't need talking down to :/
December 7, 2025 at 5:15 PM
That sounds really sad, personally.

I also play Ready or Not so just kill me I guess.
December 7, 2025 at 5:11 PM
I mean what is the difference if we're talking about american games where you kill people in other countries in the same breath?

why is it just tarkov you're against here?
December 7, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Yo no way the russian game has russian propaganda? that's crazy. i'm sure you'll find that most games have propaganda of some kind, CoD and others included

anyway, no, i was talking about his behavior. I'm a tarkov player and not really interested in playing this game with you about purity politics
December 7, 2025 at 5:01 PM
if you watch his tarkov clips for even a second you can see how obnoxious he is. an echo of loud&angry=funny humor culture.

i really can't stand him or his behavior, and i don't loudly hate on him because i think it is pretty obvious that he sucks but this shit is so disheartening
December 7, 2025 at 4:51 PM
Fit looks good on you

good motivation to get in better shape, myself
December 7, 2025 at 4:45 PM
my wife and i almost exclusively say taco baco, yea
